Live game blog: Packers vs. Detroit Lions

Join Tom Silverstein for updates, analysis and discussion as the Green Bay Packers take on the Lions at noon Sunday in Detroit.

3rd & 7 37yd

Tom -- read an article on another website showing WR open but AROD not throwing the ball--looking for the long ball. Does AROD need to get the ball out faster?

I think he's pressing for some big plays. He has to let it come to him. Sometimes it just might be the call and he likes the match-up.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:52:52 PM
Why doesn’t Rodgers say run the table again or relax or shhh? Seems like it makes sense to do it earlier in the year to get greater benefit from it, as opposed to before it’s almost too late.

Mercedes Lewis is a huge target and valuable weapon on pass routes?? Why haven't we seen more of him up to this point?? Seems like an opportunity lost...

by Wyo pack fan 10/7/2018 4:53:06 PM
His strength is run blocking and he's lost some speed. I think the priority has been to try to get Graham comfortable with the offense first before they work in Lewis a lot.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:53:44 PM
Tom, Stafford should be in a position to test the GB safetys deep down the middle. Bills never really did so and we know how Washington was successful.

by PackerSteve 10/7/2018 4:53:47 PM
For sure. Depends a lot on the pass rush.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:53:57 PM
Will we see Tonyan at all today with the injured WRs?

by Jose 10/7/2018 4:53:57 PM
I kind of doubt it. Would be interesting though.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:54:08 PM
Agree below. Awesome article and interview with Butler.

by Brooklyn Pack 10/7/2018 4:54:11 PM
Surprised to see 12 no longer listed on injury report?

by Glen in Cincinnati 10/7/2018 4:54:13 PM
Yeah, a little bit, especially since he's still wearing a brace.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:54:26 PM
by Mike Davis 10/7/2018 4:55:00 PM
Both teams are being introduced. It's a very late-arriving crowd. We had no trouble getting to the stadium and it makes me wonder if a lot of people are staying home. I don't see a lot of Packers fans.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:55:06 PM
Any possibility Perry could get play time as a DE hand down like he did at SC? Clearly he’s l8mited as an edge rusher and can’t cover anyone.

by Alan 10/7/2018 4:55:10 PM
He has lined up as a stand-up defensive end in a four-man front this year. Not a lot, but they have used it.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:55:35 PM
How’s your vantage point?

by PackerBacker50 10/7/2018 4:55:37 PM
I'm very high up and I won't be able to see replays very well.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:55:54 PM
I see Lancaster is active after just added to the roster yesterday. Any buzz on him? He seemed quiet in pre-season but maybe has progressed since?

by JJ 10/7/2018 4:56:02 PM
Big guy who probably could give them better snaps against the run than Adams.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:56:19 PM
Any chance we see Tonyan today? I can't imagine Kendricks isn't on a short leash at this point.

by Hyo 10/7/2018 4:56:21 PM
Kendricks had a really good game last week. I know he had a drop, but go back and look at his run blocking when he played fullback. He did a particularly good job when Jones was in the game.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:56:56 PM
OK, hang on, national anthem.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 4:57:02 PM
Amazing rendition by sax player Mike Phillips.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:00:12 PM
Packers captains are Mike Daniels, Corey Linsley and Reggie Gilbert.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:00:31 PM
Packers call tails. It is tails and the Packers will defer.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:01:12 PM
Lots of groin injuries again this year. Wonder of its due to MM not making these guys work at all in preseason

by Dave 10/7/2018 5:01:33 PM
Hi Tom , in your interview with McCarthy I found the comment he made about "if they didn't work together he and AR would not be friends" What was your take of that?

by John 10/7/2018 5:01:43 PM
I think that's true of a lot of people in the locker room. They're from two different cultures. They have very little common in their upbringings. That's just natural.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:02:17 PM
Great. Defense can get the first score

by The Gravedigger 10/7/2018 5:02:22 PM
Hey Tom I was out camping last Sunday and I know how much you missed my contribution: Fire Silverstein.

by SenorGreyGoose 10/7/2018 5:02:32 PM
Coffee or Soda start today?

by AZBadger 10/7/2018 5:02:36 PM
Soda. Had my coffee at the hotel this morning.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:02:48 PM
Here we go.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:02:52 PM
It's 68 degrees in here in case you care.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:03:11 PM
Lions will start at the 29.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:03:19 PM
Packers start in nickel with Kevin King and Josh Jackson.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:03:37 PM
Very nice play by Jackson on the crossing route to Jones. Got his hand in Jones' face and Jones dropped it.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:04:01 PM
Oren Burks getting some early playing time.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:04:17 PM
68 degrees here in Scottsdale too... in case YOU care :)

by AZBadger 10/7/2018 5:04:24 PM
I don't care if MM and AR are friends, I just want MM to call a better game and make sure the pad level is good.

by JZinHHI 10/7/2018 5:04:34 PM
Kerryon Johnson is no joke. That guy has some speed

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:04:59 PM
Clay Matthews with some pressure around the edge that made Stafford dump that ball off.

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:05:17 PM
Here comes the first third down, third and 1

by Tom Silverstein 10/7/2018 5:05:55 PM
Packers in their base 3-4.
