Packers Thanksgiving Win

Once the 1st quarter ended and it was 6-0 Lions rather than the 14-0 it could have been I knew the Packers were OK. Many a time the Pack had field goaled rather than TD'd and it usually makes for a close game.

Living in Michigan I can tell you this was a class Lions performance. They were almost good enough and they can tell themselves this all week. They wiffed a chance at a real big start and then came back late, marks of a losing not winning team.

Ryan Grant ended up with a 100 yards! The old you've got to establish the run was set aside wisely by Mike McCarthy. He established the pass, hell they completed 20 straight, and then used the run to finish the game. That was a characteristic of the Holmgrem teams.



Driver had 10 catches and Jennings/Jones has 10 combined. Martin had a TD and Robinson a nice long gain. Can't ask for anymore.



Jon Kitna one of the more imoble QB's you'll see.

The rematch is December 30th-final game of the season- in Green Bay. Will Detroit be in contention? Will the game matter?

On the last drive the o-line has Colledge, Spitz and Moll all 2006 draft picks playing.

Injuries: Colin Cole has a broken forearm, Woodson big toe injury. Due to Cole and Jolly now being out perhaps Harrell will get on the field.

Mason Crosby had a better game, but it was in a Dome!

Tremon Williams running down the Lions KO returner. That's some football speed!

Wonder what the line will be on the Packers @ Cowboys?
