The Lions' make the game somewhat closer, as Keiland Williams scores from 16 yards out.
Better late than...well, it's a score, anyway.
Lions go for 2...and get it on a pass to Titus Young. 24-8 Packers. It's stretching to say it...but it is a 2 possession game.
Sorry, it ain't happening...not today.
But the Packers make the the Lions pay...again. Berry doesn't look back as Jennings catches a 31 yard pass from Rodgers. The d-backfield is getting torched.
TURN YOUR GODDAMN HEAD!
The Lions stop Rodgers on 3rd and short, force a punt.
It's kinda, sorta still a game with 9:36 left.
Lions take over at their own 14...Johnson drops the 1st down pass. Shit.
2nd down...Stafford to throw...sack. SHIT.
3rd down...Stafford throws a 5 yard pass when the Lions needed 13. SHIIIIIIIT.
That just may have been the game right then and there...The Lions really needed to score on that possession. There's only 8:25 left, Packers take over after the punt.
This game has been the Lions' worst nightmare. They've run out of corners, to the point where Rasheid Davis is playing in the d-backfield. Suh has been ejected. The offense can't get out of their own way. Stupid damn penalties.
This was NOT the team I was expecting to see on Thanksgiving. I realize the Packers are 10-0, but the Lions had ALL the intangibles...and couldn't make it a game.
6:54 left, the Packers convert a 3rd down, and find themselves at the Lions' 27.
3rd and 7, Rodgers finds Cobb for a 1st down in the red zone.
I'm calling it with 5 minutes left. It's Bill Paxton time.
GAME OVER MAN. GAME OVER.
Packers settle for a FG from 32 out, twisting the knife in the Lions' corpse. 28-3, Packers.
Wonderful, FOX and Aikman are pimping the ridiculous Galloping Gobbler award. Just end the game now and put me out of my Lions caused misery.
I know it's only one game...but the Lions have it coming thanks to their disiplined, uninsired play.
Watching the Lions play today, I have to honestly wonder, thanks to their very tough schedule and injuries piling up, if they can make the playoffs. Hard to believe after a 5-0 start.
As for the game tape...
Clock running...under 1:00 left. Lions are in the red zone...take a TO. Come on, I have things to eat!
Lions at the 10...clock running. Stafford clocks it with 0:15. YEEEEESSSS!
Stafford finds Megatron in the back of the end zone with 0:11 left. Well, it makles the score look a little better, which is like putting a lipstick on a pig.
Packers will win 27-15.
I'm off to eat...and forget this game ever happened.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!
To everyone but the Lions, that is. They're on my list...
