Pack in the Turkey as the Packers put away our Lions

Ok it's time for a thanksgiving preview and not a good one. Coming off their second victory the Lions will have to play the Packers on short rest for the enjoyment of Thanksgiving viewers and the agony of Lions fans.

The outlook is not pretty for this game, I'd love to say that last Sunday's momentum would carry our Lions to a victory this week, but with Matt Stafford likely out for the game and Calvin Johnson also day to day the offense looks to have a rough day ahead of itself. In my opinion the O-line is going to have to step up with their biggest game of the season if the Lions are going to have a chance. Since Dante Culpepper will likely be starting he will need as much time in the pocket as possible as I'm sure we can expect him to be rusty. Trust me, I know this is no menial request.

The defense didn't look all that great against the Browns, who are statistically the worst offense in football, so I don't expect much improvement against the likes of Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings. In order to have a chance I think the defense will need to be incredibly opportunistic, every mistake Rodgers makes needs to be taken advantage of this week or I could see this game being a blowout.

I know the guys are feeling good after last weeks victory, but unless everything goes their way I don't see another win this week; so my suggestion to you is to take in the game from afar and spend that valuable time with your family. There is some upside....at least Dallas plays later that afternoon.
