The Packers get just the team they needed today to remove the bad taste in their mouth, now they just have to go out and do it. Go out and play the game like we know they can and send the Lions back to Michigan with their 19th straight loss in Wisconsin. I’ll be there, follow me on Twitter at packernetblog.
The Lions are not a good team even though they are better than last year – kind of like an old t-shirt I used to have said – “Better than nothing, but not much.” The Lions only really have one A+ player in Calvin Johnson and he is banged up and likely won’t play today. Retread Daunte Culpepper will start at QB and while he did throw for almost 300 yards last week against Pittsburgh, he is not the same Culpepper of old as he can’t run a lick anymore, evidenced by his seven sacks last week. The Packers will likely open up a little on defense today and put some heat on Culpepper.
The Lions secondary is in a state of flux and the their defensive line is banged up. The Packers offense might find their groove a little today. After a dreary week in Green Bay, this morning dawned a beautiful fall day built for football. Lambeau Field will be rocking and the Packers will win 34-17.
