We’ve been trying to get to posting some images from last Sunday’s Packers vs. Lions game, but one thing after another got in the way. Like on Monday and Tuesday, we couldn’t stomach rehashing the loss yet. Then work got in the way, and finally last night we were starting, and the power went out for three hours and fifteen minutes. Anyway, here we go... above we see fans tailgating on our walk to Lambeau. All weekend, Packers fans thought this would be the game that would stop the downward skid.
