I thought you were saying that the red zone efficiency didn't matter amd you didn't care about it
It's going to be tough. Our defense will have Brian Branch (full game this time) and Z Smith.
So not only do we have a real pass rusher but we also deny Love targets with the best safeties in the league and make Love either hold the ball and get the eventual sack or he runs it.
The Pack are mostly healthy, and they are currently rolling like a well-oiled machine. They have a good chance to win this game, but nothing is a given in pro football. The Pack didn't give up a lot of points against the Lions last time they faced. They did also have a lot of missed opportunities on offense. The Pack as a team seems to have changed since that last game. They are executing plays on a higher level. It should be a fun game to watch.
The Green Bay Packers didn’t have much trouble moving the football against a vaunted Detroit Lions defense in week 9, racking up 411 total yards. But once they got into the red zone, they simply couldn’t finish things off. In 5 trips inside the Detroit Lions’ 20-yard line, Green Bay only found the end zone once. And that came late in the 4th quarter when Emanuel Wilson rushed for a 2-yard score. At that point in the season, the Green Bay Packers had only scored touchdowns on 47.1% of their trips to the red zone. During this current winning streak, however, Green Bay has done so 73.3% of the time, the 5th-highest mark in the league over the last 3 weeks. This run also included a streak of 9 straight trips inside the 20-yard line that resulted in a touchdown. Another aspect that has vastly improved in recent weeks is Jordan Love’s issue with interceptions. And that issue reared its ugly head against the Detroit Lions, as he threw a dreadful pick-6 in the final minute of the 1st half that ultimately gave the Detroit Lions a 17-3 lead going into the locker room. Up to that point, Jordan Love had thrown at least 1 interception in every game he’s played this season and added another one coming out of the bye week in Green Bay’s 1-point win over the Chicago Bears. In the Green Bay Packers’ last 2 outings, however, Jordan Love has been interception-free, completing 66.7% of his passes for 437 yards with 4 touchdowns. If Jordan Love can continue this interception-free streak on Thursday Night and the Green Bay Packers can keep scoring touchdowns in the red zone, I won’t be surprised if Green Bay’s winning streak improves 4 wins in a row and the Detroit Lions’ winning streak stops at 10. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
Um the Dolphins run game is a fraction of the lions. Thats why teams hurt vs lions that running game can only be slowed if lucky but not stopped.
Watch Locked On Packers ever morning it’s available. This episode is my favorite so far (been watching since January).
