11:40 AM: Well folks, McCarthy didn’t get the boys ready to play today. This is going to be ugly, but don’t let it ruin your Thanksgiving.
11:47 AM: No matter what happens today or the rest of the season, McCarthy has to fired. To still be making the same stupid penalties this late in the year is just flat-out poor coaching. The Packers will never return to the prominence with this nincompoop in charge.
11:57 AM: No surprise there, we need to get inside the five for Mason Crosby to be in field goal range. And we thought we were embarrassed in Tampa.
12:04 PM: Nick Collins saves a reeling defense. Now we can’t stop the Lions?! Need a big play on offense now. Take a shot deep.
12:11 PM: The Packers made them pay for the Stafford interception and we are tied. Now the defense needs put the clamps on the young QB.
12:17 PM: Why can’t we stop the run now? Thank God for a drop because Bush got burned again.
12:19 PM: That is simply unbelievable! Another special teams penalty! How does Shawn Slocum show his face at 1265 Lombardi Ave? Jordy was an idiot for catching it too. This kind of stuff will be too much to overcome today I think.
12:33 PM: Might be in FG range at the 3.
12:34 PM: Miracles never cease. 10-7 Packers. Come on defense. Three-and-out!
12:37 PM: This is just simply unbelievable! This is even bad by Packers’ standards. What would Lombardi do? I guarantee it wouldn’t be pretty.
12:39 PM: Another gift from Stafford. Sweet. Make it count now.
12:51 PM: Why can’t we score TDs all of a sudden? This is getting to be a real problem. I chalked it up to a good Dallas defense two weeks ago. Against the 49ers it was masked a little because we led by 20 late in the game, but now its three games in a row. Big problem.
12:55 PM: Well we don’t miss Al Harris in one department.
1:01 PM: This game is much closer than it should be and the Lions get the ball to start the second half. I suggest we just kick it out of bounds as fast as possible so we don’t have time to make a penalty. If we kick it deep it will be a 20 yard return and a 15-yard penalty, which will be at least the 40 anyway.
The Packers should be up 21-7, though, so they have kept the Lions in the game. Any slip up like they had last week in the second half and they lose this game.
1:30 PM: The Packers get a big play but go four-and-out. The fourth down play is what happens when you can’t kick a field goal. It’s official, McCarthy has lost faith in Crosby. Too bad it took so long.
1:43 PM: That is more like it! What a pass! I thought it was picked off at first. 20-7. A little breathing room, but not much. Need another one real quick to take the air out of them.
2:06 PM: Damn! We could have scored there and taken Rodgers out. Now we asking a lot of the defense again. But I guess it is their job.
2:09 PM: Here we go again…
2:16 PM: It’s going to be a TD, unbelievable. Throwing the ball all over the field and we run twice. You get what you deserve with that kind of play calling. The offense is going to have to make up for it now.
2:38 PM: Finally, the dagger! How sweet the next ten days will be riding a three-game winning streak and sitting at 7-4. What can you say about the old guys on the Packers’ roster – Donald Driver and Charles Woodson? Incredible stuff today. Not to mention Aaron Rodgers, who just keeps rolling. The guy has basically played only two really bad games for the Packers has a starter and both were in Tampa Bay. Go figure?
