Lions rolling into date with Packers

Lately, though, he has been off the mark.

The Packers rushed for a season-high 177 yards in a Thanksgiving night loss to the Chicago Bears and could drift to the middle of the pack in the division by dropping a fourth game in five weeks. Rodgers’ 97.4 passer rating is his lowest since 2008, his first year as an National Football League starter.

“I think my season has been a bit of a roller-coaster”, Lacy said. “It’s something that you have to put in the back of your mind, because you don’t want that to slow you down for the rest of the season”. Victory today would move them to just two games away from the Packers and with Green Bay on the downturn the Lions would be looking at the possibility of catching the Packers.

The Lions won the first matchup between these two teams in Week 10, their first win at Lambeau Field since 1991.

In $100 plays, I’ll go with Green Bay (minus-3) over Detroit, Chicago (minus-7) over San Francisco, Buffalo (minus-3) over Houston, Seattle (even) over Minnesota and Arizona (minus-5.5) over St. Louis.

Recently, though, he has been on a roll and the Lions have been, too. The Detroit Lions have turned their season around, and look as if they could beat Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, while at home in Motor City tonight.

On the other side of the ball, the Lions have benefitted with Jim Bob Cooter taking over as offensive co-ordinator. “There was no finger pointing and things of that nature, which I think is key as well, but I think that’s because of the fact that we have good, strong leadership in each room”.

“We fell behind where we wanted to be in the win-loss record, so to be relevant, that was kind of a must-win, just like this week will be”, Fox told ESPN.

Despite one of the Lions’ drives starting on Green Bay’s one yard-line, they only scored two touchdowns against the Packers’ defense.

Likewise we must add that, despite the addition of well-known James Jones and the rookie Ty Montgomery, Randall Cobb, Richard Rodgers and Davante Adams, have not shown their best offensive game and still have problems, either with injuries, fumbles or dropped passes.

The Lions are just 3-13-1 against the spread in their last 17 games in December and 1-6 against the number in their last seven games versus divisional opponents.

Three games ago it appeared a almost month-long run of division games would be just the tonic needed to cure what was ailing the Packers, but it hasn’t worked out that way, at least not yet.

For now, Tom Clements will continue calling plays.

Should McCarthy take back play-calling?

“It’s up to us to get things rolling, to get things started”, Daniels said, “and then everybody helps us out, and we help them out as a team”. While their offense lacks balance (tied for last in the National Football League in rushing), RB Theo Riddick contributes to their passing attack with 55 receptions to lead all running backs.
