The Lions Play Like Turkeys

We’re late with our update on the Lions’ game, but with the family gathering, and then getting together with friends from out-of-town, the night got too late. So, we’re finally getting this posted on Black Friday, and we know everyone was quite satisfied with the win yesterday. Mr. Rodgers (above) turned in a typically stellar performance and the Packers’ silenced those critics who said the Lions would knock them off. They are 11-0 for the first time in their history, and now we have nine days to wait for the next game in New York against the Giants.

It was good to see RB James Starks back on the field after his scary injury against Tampa Bay. It looks like he dodged a bullet there.

We think this guy has silenced almost all of his critics by now.

After a hard-fought first two quarters, the Packers finally got on the board with WR Greg Jennings’ TD catch. Everyone had predicted a high-scoring affair, so it was surprising that we almost ended up with a scoreless first half.

TE Jermichael Finley had some nice plays.

One thing you don’t need to see is any of your starting linebackers on crutches.

CB Tramon Williams had his hands full covering Calvin Johnson all day.

’Twas a nice catch and run for a TD by WR James Jones.

You guys can push and shove all you want above, but FB John Kuhn has already scored down below.

A great snag of an INT for LB Robert Francois.

You can argue all you want, but you’re still the dirtiest player in the N.F.L., mister.

You’ve got a long way to go before you’re like No. 12, No. 9.
