The Green Bay Packers have issues following two straight defeats.

So hold on Detroit Lions fans.
Certainly, they’ll be dialed in to the typical fun, frivolity and energy of a Packers game and all that surrounds it.
In Week 4 of his rookie season eight years ago, Packers receiver James Jones saw a few new signs around the team facility with Vikings helmets on them.
Green Bay bestows that honor to Packers who have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Coach Mike McCarthy said he still intends to use both backs heavily, only now it will be Lacy coming in to spell Starks. “There wasn’t anything to be addressed”, Peppers said. I think everyone hopes for the best for the Lions this Sunday.
“Everybody wants to win”. The Lions kept Green Bay in check most of the game, enabling their offense to do just enough to get the job done. On the ground James Starks rushed for 39 yards in 10 attempts.
In a report by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Lacy said he does not know what is happening to his game this 2015. Aaron Rodgers has been putting up strong numbers and he comes into the game with 1937 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and three interceptions. Dallas winger Antoine Roussel is one of two current National Hockey League players born in France. “But I’m not a big believer in just riding one running back the whole season, so we’ll stay with the 1-2 punch”. Rodgers and the Packers are looking to stop the bleeding after losing two games in a row.
– Green Bay posted its sixth zero-turnover game of the season. But let’s be honest, this is still a very good Packers team with the best quarterback in the NFL. According to ESPN, the Packers have won 24 straight games at home against Detroit and Rodgers has won six games with 11 TDs and three picks against the team. The Lions trailed 10-7 going into the fourth quarter, but Erik Kramer put them ahead with a touchdown pass to Robert Clark and Mel Gray returned a punt 78 yards for an insurance touchdown.
This week there’s the unknown with Detroit’s recent partial overhaul of the offensive coaching staff, but that hasn’t taken away from the heightened value of the game McCarthy always preaches.
The Lions have the NFL’s worst record, are last in scoring defense at 30.6 points per game and second-to-last in points scored at 18.6.
Off-field turmoil has also surrounded the club.
Fresh off bye week, the Detroit Lions leave behind a 45-10 upset to Kansas City in London and head to the home of their 170-year long rival Green Bay. When defensive linemen Nick Fairley also left, it created a gap that not many players could plug up.
– Rodgers did not throw an interception on Sunday, giving him 20 zero-INT games in his last 25 regular-season contests.
Braden Shackelford (2-6) – Is there really much to say about this game? The hyper-accurate Rodgers missed passes high (two to Adams, including one that may have been a touchdown) and skipped other balls short (at least twice) in a performance that was puzzling and atypical.

“We have the right kind of guys, we just have to play better”, Caldwell said.
