Gut Reactions: Packers fall short against Lions

[@Mirza_Kovacevic]

“Eric Stokes covers like penguins fly” is one the funniest comments I’ve read in a long time 🤣😭

[@brendanwhitson6834]

Thanks Cheesehead TV for taking a levelheaded approach. Rather than getting reactionary, let’s talk about how the Packers were in it to win it with an 11-1 team. The Packers looked more competitive with the Lions during the December meeting than they did earlier in the season. My observation is the Packers are tracking in the right direction. I’m hopeful this team keeps improving and can get the W against the Lions if these two teams meet in the post-season. Go Pack Go! 🧀🏈

[@derekgella1722]

Theyll be fine. Was a good learning experience for a young team

[@AbbyAbraham-j6t]

I’d like to say. Giving up 17 points in the first half doesn’t give off “D kept them in it vibes.” Also hafley has 1 thing, pressure, just like Barry had 1 thing, so soft. The Lions don’t go methodical dropback on 3rd and 6 very often, they love to do screens, and they love to run in 3rd in medium. So just sending pressure doesn’t work there. If i know that from my couch, halfey should know that.

[@plastkhero]

I'm out on Hafley...the new Joe Barry. Lafluer missed again.

Are you worried about a Honolulu hangover? I think its every team that Detroit beat this year loses the week after.

Lost a hard fought game against arguably the best team in the league. I like our chances at a third meeting in the playoffs. Go pack go

[@Summer_Sausage]

Lions had 8 defensive starters out, and 2 of the other 3 went out mid game. Better hope the lions have the practice squad defense out there in the playoffs again, or they’ll route you like the first game

We have to put together good games, not quarters,not good halfs,good games! We need that one pass rusher that's a force . That will open things up down the line. We need 2 CB and another LB.

[@whit_Ness73]

I think we just have to get ready for a defense heavy draft… or DL,CB, and LB… we can’t generate pressure and having stokes out there is like having Kevin king…

[@olivierspencer9694]

Defo. Should have picked some CBs in 2024. Definitely need them in 2025.

[@WillMorris-ry3zj]

We gotta be fully healthy to beat this Lions team. They can win even without big pieces due to their coaching. We gotta have Jaire, Cooper, Williams etc. back for the playoffs.

[@rokkslide]

When will we talk about Gute’s first round drafting? He keeps taking these injury prone projects like Van Ness and Morgan. YOU NEED AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT PLAYER IN THE FIRST ROUND!

"Clearly one sided" Packers 7 accepted penalties for 59 yard....Lions 7 accepted penalties for 56 yds.....doesnt seem to be that one sided, just a lot of whiny ass Packers fans. The whole NFL could get calls called against them that were crazy while playing the Lions for the next 10 yrs and not catch up to the bullshit calls the Lions have had to deal with over the years. Miss me with that bullshit

[@olivierspencer9694]

Should have had about another 75 yards in penalties though and a lot more automatic first downs. You guys are screwed when you come up against Mahomes, because if you even look at him the refs will through a flag.

[@boone2188]

Lions have 18 players on ir, 13 from the D, the entire front 7 and back ups out, and playing 3 guys signed 4 days before the game playing considerable minutes, DEs starting off other team's practice squads, and you want to blame the refs, and news flash bad calls both ways, lol, gifted 2 short fields, dominated in top and plays ran and you gave up 34 on long drives, unreal

The moment you settle for a punt and play defense , or a fg attempt late ???????? *BALLGAME* 💯

[@thomasalexander8581]

You are 100% correct. Lions fan here. Your team played very well, but your coaching isn't aggressive enough to keep pace with Detroit when you settle for field goals.

Another failure by the defense. When will Packers get serious about defensive coaching. Besides Love fell prey to his former self by trying to get a first down by running…missing a sure TD to Kraft in the end zone.

[@fazejmo1953]

[@fazejmo1953]

The Lions are disciplined and unorthodox. The Packers are neither. We all knew they would puss out with the 4th and mid in the 1Q and try unsuccessfully to draw Detroit offside. Pack will beat almost every team they play with their talent but they need to match Detroit's play to win philosophy in these games or they will always come up short. Also, do the Packers only have one blitz - the unsuccessful MLb up the A gap right into the back? Never frickin works

[@MargaretOpishinski]

Lions Fans - Learn how to win with some grace. Ya, the Lions beat the Packers in this game. Congratulations on the win and being 12-1. However, show some sportsmanship. You don’t need to say a bunch of nasty stuff about our players, coaches and fans. For all those years the Lions were losing big every year since Barry Sanders, I think the Packers’ organization and fans have been good sportsmen - not saying a bunch of nasty stuff about the Lions or its fans. No matter what happens it’s important to maintain good sportsmanship! Right now there is a very good rivalry between the Packers and Lions. Let’s not ruin the fun by being bad sportsmen. So Lions fans - congratulations on your win against the Packers and your tremendous season so far. I sure would like to see the Packers play the Lions again this season in the playoffs. That would be one hell of a hard fought game!

Not at all. Lions coaching is by far the best in football. Don’t matter which players they have out there, they’re gonna play at a high level. Packers had more important players out you could argue. Including most of the secondary.

[@ogfvgaming5394]

​@Grimpy71 you obviously don't know football. The Lions(like most teams) rotate D-Line a lot which means your 2 deep is really your starters. Lions had 0 of those 2 deep that they started the season with come the 2nd half. Also 4 of their top 5 LBs were gone. Lions played 6 players that were on practice squads/on the street last week. And Decker wasn't playing which is huge for Lions O-line....learn the game before talking

at the end of the day, Matt LaFleur just can’t get it done in the big games. It’s the elephant in the room. He's 0-4 this season, and 3-4 in the playoffs, much of that with a Hall of Fame quarterback. Fans are getting bored to death with us sending out unprepared team teams to play the first half each week. Why are opponents constantly ready to play from the first snap, and our guys don’t bother until a couple of minutes before halftime? The script is getting boring. I think we need to consider a change in the off-season.

Okay now u need context behind that record. This lion game didn't u see how many penalties that the lions got away with
