Mash Unit vs Trash Unit. Gameday Thread. packers at Lions 12/5/24

[Sanders Fan]

A defense held together with chewing gum and duct tape and kept Green Bay to 31.

Now... if the Packers would be nice and beat the Vikings in a couple weeks, that'd be swell.

[RoaryFontes]

I love this team. I’ve waited so damn long for this, Campbell just looks you in the eye and says I will crush you.

[LightninBoy]

I think every upcoming game from here to the SB is going to look like this one. Better buckle up.

[foxhopper]

The most unselfish football team I have seen in the modern age. Can it take them all the way?

[lionsfan20]

Campbell played that perfectly and we still have the doubters.

I expect it from Dan. Live by the sword die by the sword. What I didn't love was the play call. With Decker out and run game struggling that wasn't the play. I didn't like BJ play calling most the night honestly. Until the game winning drive.

Gb run def was very good. Any of those runs go for something and I bet calls look better. There was not a tof of room.

Decker helps a ton on the left. Allows Skipper in on the big.

Oddly enough, arguably the best running plays the Lions had all game were on plays a beat from disaster.

Gibbs biggest run came with a Packers' defender that was damn near in the backfield fast enough to take the handoff.

And Goff's stumble on 4th and 1, handing off to Monty from his damn knees.

[foxhopper]

Greenbay played a hell of a game. That defense was very solid.

[Tom]

I probably would have kicked the FG but the Lions defense is in shambles. I don't blame him for trying to hold on to the ball until the end. The Lions are 12-1 and these past two and a half seasons have been so enjoyable I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Yep, a game of inches. Even GB best plays lions just missed on.

[chemiclord]

And apparently, Gibbs and Montgomery quietly had 110 yards rushing and two TDs tonight. So... I guess the running game was... okay?

He wanted 44 or something. Ha

Detroit protected the def with

10 more first downs
about 100 more total yards
13 minutes of extra possession time
most importantly - 3 more pts

Hats off to the offense
