Between teh LioUns – FITBAW Thanksgiving 2025 1.0

Packers (+3) at Still-Kinda-Sorta-Fuck LioUns (1:00, Fox)

Oh men.  Men!  (and Doktors and Gumby-adjacents and any lurkers).

The Shield gazes deep into our eyes ad pulls out the very specialist gift.  Tis the NFC North, as Detroit battles it out with Green Bay.  Real stakes, too.  The loser drops to 3rd in the division, and risks missing the playoffs entirely (like most good Christian folk, I still expect the Bearistocrats! to implode, but one simply cannot assume such things).

Both squadrons can be happy they aren’t the 2025 Vikings.  Holy shit.

Detroit will run, run, then run some MOAR.  Poor Monty is being eased out to pasture, with Gibbs going Beast Mode of late.  But you have to expect them to involve their speedy WRs better than in recent games – even Gibbs is unlikely to wreak havoc against 8-man boxes (PHRASING).

Green Bay gets you with its front 4, though.  Really kind of murderous up front.  But their offense can be best described as passive (at best).  As such, these are fairly fun, contrasting styles of play.  I’m looking forward to this much better than the rest of the slate.

Part two coming up, then scotchy takes us home for TNF and Afrikan-American Friday.
