Lions/Packers game notes...

the Detroit Lions are a very good team,no doubt... i have to admit that,even though i wish they were not,but the Lions' team offense can score points,with Golden Tate,Calvin Johnson,a very good running/passing attack,with Matthew Stafford as the quarterback... Ndamukong Suh and a very good defense face the Packers' potent offense... Aaron Rodgers,Jordy Nelson,Randall Cobb,Eddie Lacy lead a very potent offense,and Clay Matthews,Julius Peppers,Casey Hayward,Micah Hyde,and Sam Shields lead an underrated Packers' defense against the Lions... special teams favor the Lions,but Micah Hyde,who ran a punt back 75 yards,earlier this season,and maybe Randall Cobb,who ran a kickoff back 108 yards,at Lambeau Field,against New Orleans,opening night,in 2012,could be a neutralizer to the Lions' advantage... however,both teams have struggled with their kicking/punting this season(with Detroit going through four kickers,this season,and Green Bay having a couple punts/kicks blocked,with a couple missed field goals,from Mason Crosby,recently)... Limit return yardage(not giving either team a short field,to start their potent offenses),and turnovers will matter,Sunday afternoon... to be honest,Detroit can definitely win,Sunday,with a couple of breaks,but Aaron Rodgers have had only seven turnovers,this season(five interceptions,and only has fumbled twice)... of his five interceptions,they have come in only three games,this season... Matthew Stafford can be erratic at quarterback with the long ball,so the Packers must rush the passer(hit Stafford enough times to rattle him),and at critical times,sack him,and "bury" him into the "Frozen Tundra" a few times... winner gets NFC North division,and first round bye... note:Packers have averaged 37.5 points/per game,at Lambeau Field,where they are 7-0,this season...
