What I Liked:
The Green Bay Packers continue to dominate the NFL, and that was no different on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit. While they started the game slowly, only scoring 7 points in the first half, they were able to open it up to win comfortably, with some help from Matthew Stafford and Ndamukong Suh.
I actually liked the defensive performances in the first half, but the Lions weren’t able to continue that act in the latter half of the game. The Packers were solid all around.
What I Hated:
Let’s start with Suh’s ejection. I know that he initiated his meeting with Roger Goodell, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a dirty player, and he showed it today. First, he repeatedly shoved a player’s head into the ground, then he kicked the player as he was pulled away. If that doesn’t deserve a suspension, I don’t know what does.
As a whole, the Lions are sinking like the Titanic. They’re turning the ball over at an alarming rate, and their defense isn’t helping them any at all. They’re quickly working themselves out of the playoff race. If this continues, they can kiss their rebirth season goodbye.
Where Are They Going From Here:
The Packers moved to 11-0 with the win, and they’re firmly in control of their division. The Lions moved to 7-4, putting them within range of the Falcons and the Giants for one of those coveted wild card spots.
