Where are we going to get dl help at this time in the season. Wish they would have replaced Clark in the Parsons trade with another body. Maybe to late get find any talent now. Is Christian wilkins healthy or has he signed with another team yet ?

Wasn't it about this time of the year when Ted Thompson found Howard Greene on somebody's scrap heap?
The biggest (and maybe only) play of his career was the hit he put on Rothlisberger in the SuperBowl. Nick Collins intercepted the ball and returned it for a touchdown.
***Edit*** According to PFSN Wilkins is still available today.

Hit it right on the head hopefully others can step up
Good: Micah (great) Wicks (Very Good), Love (good), Engabare (ptreety darn good) has surpassed Gary
Bad: injury to Devonte having a great return last couple of weeks, tought to replace
Ugly: Where is Rashan Gary? If they had not aquired Micah this would have been top pass rusher? Sorry but if another guy is doubled and tripled teamed you would think Gary would have 12 sacks already. Just not the guy

Brinson, Brooks and Stackhouse need to step up. LVN when healthy could be an option.

The Really Good - Micah Parsons.
The Good - Some really gutsy play calls by Lafleur, especially those 4th down plays. Overall the play of Jordan Love but if I gave a game ball to an offensive player I might just go with Wicks. Best game he's had as a Packer so far and he was clutch when it mattered. For those of you still arguing about it, the third step was out, the first two were in and it was a touchdown catch.
The Bad - Whatever that is that Valentine is doing when he should be tackling.
The Ugly - The injury to Wyatt. He was really playing well and showing his importance to this defense.

People are arguing about whether Wicks got his feet in? It wasn’t even close. The second foot came down about a foot inside the end zone.

Absolutely correct Barut.

The Ugly injury to Wyatt was a dirty play. Brinson had pancaked his man, who hooked him and threw him into Wyatt's legs.

The Good: Dontayvion Wicks. Tough, contested catches in critical situations (two of them fourth downs).
The Bad: Nixon (3rd and 15 gift) and Valentine (wrap them up!).
The Ugly: Dan Campbell making terrible in-game decisions due to his buck-fever on every fourth down. I have to believe his inability to make smart decisions is wearing thin in Detroit.

I’m sure there are plenty of Lions fans who’ve been calling for Campbell’s head ever since last year’s playoffs.

Yes—Campbell’s bravado may be wearing thin.

His bad decisions cost them a chance to go to super bowl. It's been down hill since then. I say the 50 year curse is starting maybe. Rah rah doesn't make up for good decisions and he is a dope imo

With apologies to Tony the Tiger: Not just good, but great!
1) Jordan Love in complete command of the offense with his decision-making and execution.
2) Wicks, enough said.
3) Parsons--this is why we traded for him.
4) MLF: we've been begging for him to put the ball in the hands of Love, and he was rewarded. Everything on fourth down came up aces, and his determination to snatch this game from the home team really showed.

The Great: Micah Parsons
The Good: Wicks and Watson made some tough catches in key situations
The Bad: Wyatt’s injury
The Ugly: Detroit’s division record

Good: Wicks—and Watson yeeess! …and the Oline. Parsons!!
Bad: I’m so thankful for the win I don’t have much bad to mention. If our D can avoid giving up the 3rd & long—we may become elite.
Ugly: The injury to Wyatt—awful. Worried about a capable replacement.
Go Packers!!!

Good - the team.
Bad - 3rd and long. Is there a stat that tracks this?
Ugly - taste of crow. If they keep this up, I'll have to eat it for saying MLF can't get it done. I'll just leave it at that.
Jordan Love isn't Aaron Rodgers but he has been solid this season and as I said after those first two wins, he doesn't have to be great if the team plays this well.

Good- a critical victory on enemy's turf.
Bad - referring in favor of pack, bad for Detroit. Lol
Ugly - Wyatt injury and Valentine's tackling. Does Hafwitly teach that move? No wonder he bench sits.

Hafwitly?
Is that the guy X amount of NFL teams are (reportedly) considering as their next Head Coach?

Good-The o-line played well today. Rhyan might have found his position.
Bad: I hate to complain about the zebras, but yeah, the refs were suspect. Two non-calls were shocking to me. Parson being held on the touchdown run and the Watson interference. Shocking because they were so blatant and outside-the scrum that it seems impossible that the refs didn't see them. With the billions flowing through gambling every week, it worries me.
Ugly: 3rd down conversions by Lions. Parsons gets sucked in by an initial move to the inside by running backs and gives up contain A LOT. Coordinators are watching this.

Wow, jvole!
I know he's not perfect, but I surely didn't picture today as the day to criticize Parsons. Despite a couple 'misses', he was a human wrecking ball!
Maybe he can teach Valentine how to 'wrap up'.

Absolutely blatant refs controlling flow of game with non calls.
That game could have gone either way because of it but our two 4th down TD's beat the refs .
Nice to finally play against defensive line that are offensive line can handle.
Our fate this season rests with our offensive line having games like this.
Special teams still hurting the cause.
Great win 👍🏻

Nice win in the Motor City. They were firing on all cylinders. Here we go!
Good-J-Love looked like an MVP candidate. Decision making and accuracy was on point.
Bad-Yo Romeo. The chances of you securing the bag with a $10 million per year+ contract are slim and none. GB will spend money elsewhere imo.
Ugly-Wyatt injury. I’m a believer Brinson can fill the void. Give him that opportunity. Heartbreaking to see him carted off tho.
Onto the Bears. LFG & GPG!

Mmm, seems like Parsons is pretty good. I’m happy I convinced Guty to make the trade.
Game Ball(s): Wicks of course; Parsons; the OLine. …and Musgrave made catch.
Lame: Valentine’s critical missed tackle.
I wonder if we can replace Wyatt; will someone step-up?
I believe we will stomp the Bears.
Go Packers!!!
