The 12 Labours of Clay Matthews Scholars have worked for years to understand the Green Bay Packers Detroit Lions Hats , but they remain perplexed. Are the Packers a place? A thing? A state of being? For now, this terrible phenomenon defies our greatest scientists and philosophers, baffling the world.However, recent developments in the field of study, focused primarily on comparative mythology, have helped us to increase our understanding of this swirling chaos. To help illuminate these finds, we welcome in Jason Hirschhorn from Acme Packing Company, our sister website, to discuss the Packers and Packer-ing things.1. What do the Packers need to do to beat the Lions on Sunday?Stopping the Lions’ fleet of receivers probably ranks first and foremost among the Packers’ priorities. The Packers defense finally put together its first full-game performance under new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, shutting out the Bills last week. The unit should receive a boost on Sunday with cornerback Kevin King’s return as well. Detroit’s passing game still presents a considerable challenge for such a young defense, but Green Bay has the tools needed to stay competitive.Meanwhile, the Packers offense needs to find its rhythm. Through four weeks Detroit Lions Womens Hoodie , the unit ranks just 14th in DVOA and 19th in scoring (23 points per game). Aaron Rodgers’ knee injury certainly hasn’t helped matters, nor have injuries to the offensive line and receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison. An indoor matchup with the Lions defense could help the Packers get back on track, as could an increase in touches for running back Aaron Jones.2. On the other hand, what are the reasons why the Packers might end up losing on Sunday?Those aforementioned offensive issues could persist through Sunday’s game. It remains unclear whether the Packers will have their full starting offensive line, nor does the team know if Cobb (hamstring) or Allison (concussion) will suit up in Detroit. And though Rodgers’ knee injury has improved in recent weeks, it only takes one hit to send him back to square one. All of those factors could contribute to a Green Bay loss.3. Clay Matthews is on the receiving end of some very ticky-tack calls in the new rules. Obviously, Clay is being forced to atone for some ancient, hideous sin. What I want to know from you is what Herculean task will he be forced to undertake next? Slaying a hydra?Maybe we’ve flipped things here. With his flowing locks, perhaps Clay Matthews is the Hydra and the NFL thinks he needs to be slayed? The Predator is in theaters, so perhaps the league thinks this is the best survival tactic. I’m not sure, but something appears amiss.4. This is important to disabuse some Lions folks of this notion, but I want an honest Womens Customized Detroit Lions Jerseys , unbiased opinion: is Aaron Rodgers a diva, a jerk, and/or a crybaby?5. What’s your opinion of ties?In a league that gives teams only 16 chances to prove itself during the regular season, ties represent an unnecessary complication. I fully understand the desire to reduce extra exposure to the players, but the NFL has to find a better way to balance those concerns with determining an actual winner to its games. The current system creates unsatisfying results, and it takes away from the product.As always thanks to Jason for putting up with our nonsense.Detroit Lions RB LeGarrette Blount is “100%” ready for the Patriots The Detroit Lions will be back in Ford Field this week as the New England Patriots come to town for a Sunday night contest. While every game is important in the grand scheme of the NFL season, this week’s matchup may have another layer. Detroit is filled with ex-Patriots from the front office to the playing field. One of the ex-Patriots now residing in Detroit is running back LeGarrette Blount.Blount has had two separate stints in New England. He was on the 2013 team that won the Super Bowl, then left to join the Pittsburgh Steelers. He waived by the Steelers after an incident where he apparently walked out of a game early. New England snatched him back off of waivers in 2014 and he eventually won another Super Bowl with the team in 2016 when he ran for 1161 yards and 18 touchdowns—both career highs. Now two seasons removed from his time in New England he gets his second shot at his former team—the other being in Super Bowl LII where he acquired his third ring as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. When asked if he’s ready for the upcoming game, Blount made it clear that he was. “Oh yeah. 100 percent,” Blount told reporters when asked, adding “I’ve played there for a few years. I know a lot of those guys there so it’s always fun playing against them.”This is clearly not a “grudge match” for Blount, though. “We prepare every week to try to win every game so we’re gonna prepare the same way for this one www.lionscheapstore.com ,” Blount said. The Lions have gotten off to a bad start in 2018. They are 0-2, and while Blount was one of the players tasked with fixing their long time woes in the run game, the results haven’t really shown yet. The running back is only averaging 2.9 yards per carry through two games this season. While he was the listed starter in both of the team’s opening games, he was forced to leave both early—one due to injury and the other due to ejection—and yielded many carries to rookie Kerryon Johnson.“We just gotta eliminate the mistakes.” Blount said when asked about the team’s struggles so far. “Do a lot of things better than we have.” “Obviously we’re behind right now with a 0-2 start so we want to continue to progress up.”At 0-2, this game feels like a must-win for the Lions. An 0-3 start is a near insurmountable hole for a team that told fans that 9-7 wasn’t enough. This will be the hardest challenge the Lions have yet faced as they have to take on one the smartest football minds around in Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Blount was coached by Belichick during his time in New England and still has high praise for him. “Bill knows his football. He knows what he’s talking about. He’s a really, really, really smart guy,” Blount said. “Obviously one of the best coaches that’s ever coached this game.”To get their season back on track, the Lions must pull off a huge upset against one of the best. It’s a steep task but with proper preparation and a removal of the mistakes that have haunted Detroit so far this season Blount, and the rest of the Lions, believe that it is a challenge that they can overcome.
