Classic ole time brutal weather football game not fit for man or beast. Nothing fancy but Lion’s brutal running and controlled passing. For a team regaled for executing under brutal weather conditions, Green Bay failed the test across the board: dropped passes, bad snaps from center, sorry run game and an ill advised desperation pass. To bad so sad.

All Packer’s mistakes do not diminish yeoman Lions’ defensive efforts and ‘meat grinder’ running game made possible by precision offensive blocking. Time of possession under weather conditions did take it’s toll. Saving D. Montgomery for a close-out effort in 4th quarter was a classic N/S tactic. J. Goff made the most of weather limited pass opportunities.

Kickers did what was expected and penalties was kept low. B. Branch’s hit was called according to the rules. Slo-mo replays could have indicated that he was trying to avoid head on collision. Ejection could be disputed. Consistency and functional discipline ruled the day regardless of putrid weather.

Continued display of execution, minimal mistakes and improving down field pass defense could portend bight things for Lion’s remaining schedule.
