There were two off sides whistled dead and both time they were talking about unabated to the quarterback, but neither seemed to be the case. I'm sure someone can provide better insight on this than me, but I always thought the play continued if just the defense was offsides and the ball had to be snapped when they were offsides for that call to be made. Then a couple years ago they changed the rule to be if the defender jumping made the offensive lineman flinch or move, the play was whistled dead and the penalty was still called on the defense. What I've noticed a lot now is once the defender jumps, the O-lineman moves and points to the defender as if to say "you jumped and that caused me to move". I believe that is what causes the play to get whistled dead. If the O-line doesn't move and the ball is snapped while the defender is offsides it becomes a free play.

Maybe I'm wrong on that, but the way I see it is that the O-line guys are actually the ones causing the plays to get whistled dead in their hast to make sure the ref's see the defender moving

To my understanding unabated to the QB is a judgement call that if the ref feels the QB is in danger of being hit blows the whistle and stops the play, its simply to keep the stars safe. When in doubt the ref will always blow the whistle especially on QBs like rodgers, brady, manning as they dont want to be the ref that didnt blow the whistle and got one of these guys hurt. The refs are not only payed to officiate the game but keep players safe..especially the star QBs. If the ref didnt blow the whistle and rodgers got his A s s lit up and got hurt, these same fans would then blame the ref for getting their QB hurt. Darned if you do, darned if you dont.

Boy, there's a lot of teams in the mix for the playoffs this year. Not many separating themselves. The Bears have a easy schedule coming up, doesn't mean they will win them all. Hard to pick winners in the NFL this year. Bears have proven they can play competitively, but good teams win those close games. As far as Pack, their in trouble but they have time to figure it out. Slowest receivers in the NFL is showing itself to be important. If Pack continue as they are it would be a huge flop of a season. I just can't picture the Vikes winning the division. NFL North is up for grabs. Should be a fun final third to the season.

To me the NFL Wild Card stops at Seattle when all said & done but if the Pack continues to lose they will fill Wild card. Very very long shot for Da Bears to get in thru Wild card even at 10-6 but things will get real interesting in December & fun to watch. Pack & Detroit Thursday night game has meaning to the North & should be a good battle.

If the bears go 10-6 id say they get in very possibly by winning division. Just dont think they are quite ready to run the table tho. At least they are fun to watch again. Future is bright

The loss of speed of a jordy nelson is starting to show up and poor defences are finding a way to capitolize on these injuries the Pack has. Not sure if I can call a bad season due to injury a "flop" though. Got to agree there have been waaaay too many dropped and through the hands passes by the rest of the recievers and back ups. That is the Packs bread and butter and if they continue to lose the pass game the rest of the season won't be as entertaining as usual.

Funny thing is Brady has played with no receivers his whole career. The year he gets moss breaks every record in the books. Just goes to show how great brady and belechick are...especially in crisis. With all the injuries they hve had thruout the years, doesnt phaze them.

Go LIONS. should be a close game. 3 point spread in vegas.

3 point spread. Wow. 5 weeks ago it would have been about 15. Things have changed fast for the Pack. But as long as Rodgers is upright you can never rule them out.

The Pack will remind everyone after tonight the proper pecking order in the division.

Pack have struggled in detriot last few years if i remember. Detriot playing good pack on other hand...

See what happens. Smart money is on lions +3. Interdivisional home dog always smart play. If pack cant run and they dont protect rodgers this one could be ruff. I think lions put some points up.
this could be the fork in the road for packers. Go left salvage season, go right buh bye.

I'm sure the Pack would like to show everyone who is boss. But maybe they cant. Detroit will be up for this game just to prove that the first game was not a fluke. Should the Pack lose tonight the second wild card gets real interesting. Doubt the Vikes will win their next two. It is going to go down to the wire in the NFC North.

Inside turf & conditions should help the Packs lack of WR speed if outside it would be Lions all the way. Pack gets thru this one with a W & could be a high scoring shoot out. If Packs loses this one the team is in freefall mode not much they can do about it to turn season around. What team would be afarid to face Packers??....No one very beatable right now.

I duno if the turf helps them. It could help DBs stick on slow WRs. Last year pack only put up 7 in detriot an year before got smoked. Granted those were better lions Ds but this is a worse packer O. Should be entertaining

There should be a huge loud crowd at Detroit. This is the game of the year for them. If the Lions can get up early and the crowd really gets into it Rodger's O line won't be able to hear anything. Advantage Lions.

Wow, 17 - 0 with a minute to go in the first quarter. A lot can change but it's not looking good.
