Another win, and we'll all need to listen to the whining about the refs (which can't be denied) but it's still a win and as Rodgers said, the poor calls balance out over time. We've endured our share.
But hey, would the Lions have even been in the game if it wasn't for GB's generosity? How many gifts of 'here's the ball with a short field' do you need to give them?
Two things I need to mention:
1.) I agree with Booger McFarland that the Packers do seem run ball better under a standard set vs the two tight end set (that might be a dead giveaway). And
2.) Why is Jimmy Graham still on the team?

the refs i think were into making make up calls for giving the Lions a TD in the first quarter, but i say get rid of instant replay. the game is played in real time and should be officiated in real time. the replay often gets it as wrong as the call on the field. the refs get it right most of the time, but with all these new rules and super slow mo it makes everyone feel like somehow they got cheated. the game slows down, more commercials, and this is not your great football of the 60s, 70s, 80s. etc.

One of the commentators said it last night: good teams find ways win when they don't have their best stuff. Point to the officials if you want (it's karma, folks), but the defense buckled down and held the Lions to under 60 yards passing and under 75 yards of total offense after the first drive of the second quarter, and the Packers dominated TOP after that point. The defense won this game last night, despite the first quarter.

Can't be understated dobber. After Pettine made 1st quarter adjustments (T. Will for Redmond, Burks sliding into hybrid/LB position on most third down) this defense shut down a good lions offense playing on their side of the field for most of the game. This game was won by both of the Packers lines who flat out stuffed the lions for most of the game. A very old fashioned Black and Blue division game for the most part.

Poor officiating that definitely benefitted us, but we’ve been on the receiving end also. Cleveland also had two terrible calls go against them. Wonder if Gute will trade for a WR, think it may be time. Go Pack, next up the Raiders!

you're forgetting the gift TD the refs gave the lions on that 4th and goal..that was 7 points....the Pack didn't benefit ANY points on the supposed "bad calls" at the end...they could have kicked a FG either way....

What would be the Packer's record be without AR? I say maybe 1-5. Get well soon Devante, you now have Lazard to take some of the heat off.

MLF was impressive the way he handled the game clock at end of the half and game. He continues to impress.
