THOUGHTS FROM THE D

NOW BRING ON BIG D

  • Print
Let me be the first to say after all of the turmoil of this summer, the Packers have shaken it off to prove, with apologies to Sally Field, that they're good...they're really, really good.  I don't care if it's just the Lions.  This team took a vicious punch to the mouth from the Lions, and a loss that would have been disasterous, to roaring back to life and not only winning but taking away the Lions manhood.

When I asked Aaron Rodgers if this is the ignorance of youth, or just a team wise beyond its years, Rodgers replied with the quote of the day.  "I told our guys in the huddle when we were down, now we'll find out what we're made of.  And we did."

Now just like last year, the Packers come off a win at Detroit, with a nationally televised game against Dallas to see where they stack up in the NFC.  Only this time, the game's at Lambeau Field. 

I leave you with some numbers to impress your friends.

Mike McCarthy is 19-3 in his last 22 regular season games....20-4 including playoffs.

The Packers have won 4 of the last 5 road openers.

In all 5 wins at Ford Field, the Packers have scored 31 or more points.

The Packers have won 6 straight games in the series...the longest streak in more than half a century (1949-54, when the Lions actually won 11 in a row.)

And can you believe the Lions were down 21-0 for the second straight week?  Matt Millen, what do you have on the Ford family?
