Lions at Packers - serious question
Could someone please tell me not to root for the Packers?
It will be an interesting game. Goff outdoors in what looks like rainy conditions is not the same guy, but how will Malik Willis do if Love is out? I'm not rooting for either team but it should be a good watch.
Here's my short answer: nothing you can do. When I sit and watch a game like this, my logical brain will say 'root for X'.....the game starts and then I find myself subconsciously naturally rooting against whomever as almost like some kind of in-my-fan DNA, ingrained response from the heart. It just comes out. And I just go with it. Like 'I know I should be rooting for Team X, but when a big play happens, I'm rooting against X'. Does that makes sense?
Its like when a friend or your wife says, 'should I order X or Y for dinner?' and I say you know deep down what you want, just order it. Although my wife has FOMO when it comes to choosing her meal when eating out, so its always a tough decision. ;)
Packers have 7 starters down. And I wouldn't mind a Lions win. Their upcoming schedule is quite a bit tougher than the Packers.

Great time for Detroit to play @ Lamblow...
Easy for me to root for the Lions over GB.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Not nice, but my honest response:
after what we went through last season, to the point that we're just now getting our TE1 back and having to replace Darrisaw:
I hope they absolutely maul each other. If the pukers take the win, fine, I'm still convinced we'll take them at home. The kittens only beat us by 2, I'm really not worried about that rematch, either, the coaches just need to get us acting more than reacting, again.
Getting close to Vikings Football time...!!!
I've got a serious question...can we sign a petition to have the Jets removed from all primetime games the rest of the season? The Jets suck, have always sucked, and will always suck

Thats exactly my thought. I had the same thought last year and they almost made it. They found a way to get even better. They are SOLID
Goff is playing great and his surround is superb. Then add in maybe the best OC in football calling plays.

They also have a very good offensive line so Goff has been playing in clean pockets. Just like Cousins in Atlanta, clean pockets make good QB's great!
Stafford had clean pockets for the most part last week and picked the Vikings apart.
Lions are good, probably the best team in the NFC right now. Right now. Will they be a month from now? We'll see. And they're not without weakness. They don't have a 2nd receiver worth a damn and their secondary is vulnerable. They were neck and neck with the Vikings. Failed 2-point conversion was the difference.

....and the Vikings could have beaten them. Yep, woulda, coulda, shoulda.....but at least Minnesota has some talent. But offensively Detroit is probably the most dynamic and explosive offense in the NFL. NFC faves to get to the Super Bowl for sure IMO.
WILD: The Lions have more offensive TDs (24) then incompletions (20) over their past five games.

I remember a few years that we went on historic runs, with AD, Favre, and Moss to mention 3, but I don't remember going to the Superbowl.
My point; the best team doesn't get to the Superbowl all the time. Probably 40%, if that.

Or win the Super Bowl. 2007 Patriots with that high octane offense. Going 18-0 and then losing in the Super Bowl.
I was surprised Love suited up for this one...
Big game for GB to stay in contention

I should stop being surprised about Detroit looking so good.
We'll see if GB can make a game of it after down 17/3
