Happy Thanksgiving! Packers vs Detroit gamethread

[adambr2]

Lol why are they battling so hard over who has the loose ball? It literally doesn't matter. 

[SeaBass]

Never had a doubt.

[adambr2]

Even a FG on this drive and things are looking really good. Still too early to go into a shell.

Ok, now it is starting to feel like it.

They don't have to run it.

But the criteria was the worst call.  
 

Passing would have been much better than either call

Analytically, I wouldn't mind it if they went for 2 every time (except for situations which obviously calls for the contrary, like a XP wins the game.) Having a kicker who has shown that XPs aren't automatic certainly contributes to that. 

I'm not far off from that either but when you're up 2 scores I think leaning a hair more conservative isn't a bad play.

[adambr2]

These 4th down fakeouts are starting to feel pretty cringey.

Yes, no one is falling for that, but they want to give the punter a little more room. I see them actually snapping it one of these times thinking the defense isn't ready .

I suppose their thinking was that the difference between 16 and 17 is more significant than the difference between 15 and 16 as far as an in game lead.

I was just thinking that. Actually snap it sometime. 

[adambr2]

Here we go. Can just never be easy. 

[yourout]

Short of a turnover i don't think we can stop the lions the rest of the way.

[yourout]

Heck of a play by Owens.

[adambr2]

Defense shocking me today coming up big in the big moments. 

[SeaBass]

Big stop!

yes they can.

[HarryDoyle]

Now that's a great play call.

[SeaBass]

I've been wanting them to use Love on a run play like that for some time now. They should do it more often.

[adambr2]

At least make them work the middle of the field. 

[SeaBass]

They're using too much time.

[adambr2]

Trash defense on the 2 point conversions today. 

[adambr2]

Closer score than the game really was, but still, win of the year. 

[HarryDoyle]

Welp. Barry is safe the rest of the year.

[homer]

wow
