Green Bay Packers (11) at Detroit Lions
(35) 12 31 2017
They got to play indoors for their last
game of the season when the temperature outside today is about 10
degrees.
Highlights.
A very aggressive start by the Green
Bay Packers. They won the toss and decided to kick it and do an
on-sides kick, which they recovered.
Detroit's Ebers (sp?) Sky Stepping
after a reception was pure athleticism! It was like he sprouted
wings and flew over two Packers.
GB Number 44, when the ball is in the
air you always have an awareness of where it is and where it is going
to be when you are on the field. You should have the mental ability
to immediately determine that by a glance at its initial speed and
arc. In other words you don't let it hit you in the head.
I looks like that aggressive initial
attack by the Packers got the fury in the Lions going.
Time check 2:20 seconds left in the
second quarter.
Hundley don't run the ball if you don't
know how to hold onto it. A quaterback often wants to be brave and
run the ball when the yards aren't coming. However you got to be
able to hold onto that ball and not have it fumbled from you. Likely
happens more when the QB runs up the center. I haven't seen anyone
run through the center for a touchdown in a long time.
Hundley? The name reminds me of
Hunley. The Confederate Submarine that was sank three times.
And that article there is actually more
interesting than the football game.
Another interesting submarine.
What makes this all the more of a loss
is that McCarthy boldly stated that he wasn't going to throw this
game he wasn't that kind of guy, he was going to fight as hard as he
could to win it, even though it didn't matter because the season was
over.
Loved it when Matthew Stafford (sp?)
tossed that touchdown ball straight up high into the fans seats back
of the endzone.
