On the other side, Detroit moves the ball against the Pack defense in usual Detroit fashion. I still don't trust Green Bay's defense, and you need defense to win. The only real piece Detroit is missing is defensive backs. Detroit is a more complete team than Green Bay this year though and I like them to win this one.
The Packers defensively has missed Morgan Burnett, their FS. He is the QB of the back 4 and he returns today. Also, they've been missing Casey Hayward, their starting nickle slot DB. He lead the team with 6 int's last year.

Also, all the D the Pack gave up a few weeks ago happened when Matthews was out of the lineup in the second half. Dalton's passer rating was terrible the 1st half.

I'd like to see if Bush is a different player on grass vs turf.

Megatons not playing. This will be a Packers blowout.

The Pack's offense looks a little off.

And what ever happened with Mason Crosby that year when he couldn't hit a long field goal to save his life? Seems like he's over that now.

3 drops on that drive, one cost us a touchdown. Need to score TDs against this team, even without CJ.

Detroit's Defense has been very sound today, especially with their tackling.

That holding call on Rieff was absolutely brutal! You can not call that as a ref, Clay Matthews crashed inside and Rieff pushed him.

We make some really dumb penalties (see defensive line offside) but that "holding" is the type of play that you see on every single NFL play.

As well Durham has to catch that ball on 2nd down that was an excellent throw by Stafford. Glad to see Broyles getting involved, needs to be targeted more.

Rodgers has been solid but hes had a few plays where his WR/TE let him down. Lastly that catch by Jordy Nelson on third down with Quinn meeting him in the air was an amazing underrated catch.
