Which Detroit Lions team will show up in Green Bay?

If history dictates itself to us again, the Detroit Lions will lay an egg this coming Sunday in Green Bay.  If the Lions play like they did this past Sunday in Chicago and in many of their games this year, this will not be a pretty game to watch!  Sunday was atrocious to say the least, with all the stupid penalties, turnovers, and miscues. The Lions play with allot of heart and determination but games like this show the Lions playing down to their opponents and still are not totally focused at all times. Relying on their defense which is very good, can only last so long. The offense really needs to pick it up. The players own allot of the responsibility to play better and get the offense rolling but so does the play calling.  The play calling seems to put allot of pressure on the defense to step up. At times it is very predictable and mundane and down right boring. When other teams blitz, where are the screen passes? Or throwing deep 3 or 4 times a game to keep the safeties back and not allowing them to cheat and don't get me started on why we don't throw to the tight ends 10 times a game or so. Our tight ends are around 6'5" and big loads and yet we forget about them. Where are the reverses and an occasional trick play? Its time to get much more creative and open up the playbook to the offense to take some of the pressure off the defense and keep opponents on their toes.  Does anyone really expect Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay offense to play as bad this week against the Lions as they did in the first game? The defense has been great all year, now it is time for the offense to step up and play to its potential and put some much needed points on the board this week! It's time for this years Lions to show that the season isn't a fluke and take what is rightfully theirs this year. The NFC North Division title!!!!!!!!!!!
