Why You Should Want the Packers to Win Against the Lions

            Why should you want the Packers to beat the Lions this Thursday? It’s pretty simple honestly. There are two sides of the spectrum that I think football fans in general, including Packer fans, can jump on ahead of this game.

            On one hand, you want the Packers to make the playoffs. The Lions are a wagon this season and will surely run away with the NFC North title.  But a win for the Packers would raise their likelihood of playing in January even more. The two toughest games they have remaining are against the Chiefs and Lions. If Green Bay can win one of those games and win out the remainder of their schedule, the chances of getting bonus Packer football will skyrocket.

Plus, a win would be good for the rivalry and would be a nice little spoiler to the Lions' season. The Lions haven’t won the NFC North in a long time, so why not be the only divisional opponent loss that they may have this season?

On the other hand, if you are a hater and despise the Packers, you should want them to win as many games as possible. The Packers aren’t guaranteed a playoff spot if they win out and if they do miss out on that 7th seed just barely, the Packers will be in purgatory for a season or longer and not have a high draft pick. Plus, you as a hater would get to make fun of the Packers and say that they suck and have no draft pick.

It’s a win-win situation for both sides when you look at it. When the Packers aren’t in the playoffs, it just doesn’t feel the same. Whether you like them or not, you’re crazy if you wouldn’t rather have Jordan Love and the Packers in playoffs this season over other teams like the Vikings, Rams, Falcons, Bucs, and yea… that list sucks.

Also, if the Bears could almost beat Detroit, who’s saying the Packers can’t? We all know the Packers are banged up and won’t have Aaron Jones. But the Lions' pass defense isn’t as crazy as you think it is. I expect to see a completely different Jordan Love this time around than we did on Thursday Night Football last time these two teams faced off. If Love can win this game, his stock will rise even more than it has in the last few games.

They’re not mathematically eliminated yet, so why not leave it all out on the field this Thursday against Detroit and throw a nice ole’ W in the win column? I know, he's not a the team anymore, but here's a nice little clip of Aaron Rodgers talking about past 4-6 teams going on a run to end the season.

The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay

  The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay                It’s early, but through four games the Packers have had multiple injuries that have hurt them early this 2023 NFL season.             For starters, the loss of David Bakhtiari to IR is a killer. Unfortunately, most Packer fans could see it coming from a mile away. His injury at the end of the 2020 season seems to be a career killer to what could have been a clear-cut hall-of-fame career.             Other offensive line injuries have hurt the Packers as well, Elgton Jenkins is expected to miss a few games with a knee injury after exiting week 2 against Atlanta. Zach Tom, who has performed well for the Packers early, is also dealing with a knee injury. These injuries are another indicator as to why the Packers have struggled to run the football early. Of course, Aaron Jones playing only one full game hurts, but these offensive line injuries need to end quickly if the Packers expect to win more games. Continuing with the offense, Christ

The Packers Destroyed the Vikings on SNF

(Photo via Evan Siegle on packers.com)             I have two words for you…Jayden Reed!             What an impressive performance from the green and gold in primetime against the Vikings. They dominated in every aspect of this game as they should’ve. Jayden Reed is easily the steal of the draft this season and this game proved it even more. The connection between Love and Reed is something special, and the future looks very bright for the Packers. . @jordan3love ➡️ @JaydenReed5 for the TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/8QRr5RCyv7 — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 THAT'S A @jordan3love TD! 🏃💨 #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/mnNyZGdKJO — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 ANOTHER @JaydenReed5 TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/FT58FpKFbq — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 Capping off a 91-yard drive!

Packers vs. 49ers Preview: Prepare for a Matt LaFleur Masterclass

Image
  Can the Green Bay Packers do it again? Can they shock the entire nation by beating the San Francisco 49ers at home? It’s going to be a tall task and a lot of things are going to need to go their way. However, as we’ve seen this season, any team is beatable.             The 49ers are an absolute wagon and as of recent history, they’ve dominated the Packers in the playoffs. However, we’re not here to dwell on the past, we’re here looking forward to the future as the Packers themselves have done this season. They battled back from a 3-6 record and are now one of the hottest teams in the NFL following their 4 th  win in a row against the Dallas Cowboys last weekend. The Packers are 0-4 in their last four playoff games against the 49ers. Aaron Jones: "It's not about the past. It's about the future and what we're about to do right now." pic.twitter.com/eoQfRXlx9g — Adriana Torres (@TorresAdrianaTV) January 18, 2024             I could say the Packers don’t have a sho
