Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers running diary - 4th quarter: It'll be over soon
Written by Al Beaton

I took a step away from the ineptitude polluting my TV to get a breath of fresh air. I returned just in time to see a Harris punt. Better than a Harris fake, I guess...

Harris had the Packers pinned inside their own 10, but a Grant run gets them out of trouble. Not that they wer in much of it with a 26-0 lead...

Green Bay is happy to run clock with Ryan Grant. We're under 12:00 to go. Cliff Averil continues to fuck up, as he tackles Grant by the facemask. Green Bay now at their own 45. Jebus, what do the Lions see in this guy? I see jack and shit.

Rodgers will pass off of play action...throws down the middle....PICK! DeAndre Levy with the leaping interception! He fumbles the ball on the return, but falls on it. He gets both an interception and a fumble recovery in the stat book.

Kevin Smith breaks a run up the gut for 20 yards! Lions at the Pack 30. Too little, too late. 10:00 left in this debacle.

3rd and 6 from the Packer 26, Stanton will throw...he's sacked by the face mask! UGH! FLAGS everywhere! 1st down Detroit, as Green Bay continues to flail about making mistake after mistake.

A Stanton or Standeford connection give the Lions 1st and goal from the 9. A 1st down toss is drilled right into the ground. A draw to Smith is blown up good! 3rd and goal. Stanton will throw on 3rd down...and he's picked in the end zone. Detroit comes up empty again.

I can't say anything more about what I'm forcing myself to watch other than...

the goggles do nothing

They do nothing at all...

God damn, why am I subjecting myself to this crap? The crap is exacerbated by having to hear Tony Sarigusa spew nonsense for 3 fucking hours.

We're under 5 minutes left in...it sure as Hell isn't a game, is it? Rodgers runs for a 1st down, and a Packer drills a Lion player after Rodgers slides. FLAG! SHOVING! SHOUTING! NOTHING HAPPENING! Packers are dinged for 15 yards on the personal foul.The Packers are going to have a stupid amount of penalty yardage when it's all totaled up.

The Packers keep giving the ball to Grant, he keeps churning out the yards and running the clock. We reach the 2 minute warning as Grant sidesteps his way to the Lions 40.

2 MINUTE WARNING! I repeat, 2 MINUTE WARNING!

Moose Johnston: "Tough day for the Lions."

Big Al: "No fucking shit! Got anymore deep analysis?!"

FOX switches us to the Giants - Saints game for a nanosecond! PLEASE STAY WITH IT! Shit, back to the Lions.

Clock keeps running, Rodgers keeps taking a knee, game is FINALLY over.

Packers smoke the Lions, 26-0, in a game that was nowhere near as close as the blowout score. Green Bay should have won by 40+. Only their ineptitude kept Detroit within 4 scores.

This game came down to one thing. Without their best players, the Lions are toothless.

When you factor in all their injuries, the Lions brought a knife to the Packers' gun fight.

Lions are boned

Lions ain't gonna pull no more close games, I think the injury bug has finally bit them at their worst. I can see them starting to get better towards the later part of the season. For now, I'd say their just gonna get their asses beat all day for the next three.
Knife fight

Knife to a gun fight? No, the Lions are the proverbial one-legged man in the ass-kicking contest that is the NFL. Thank God for the Redskins.

OMG.

Just watched the "highlights" on NFL.com. Seriously, the Lions didn't have one highlight. I got excited every time the offense started the play and then it'd end with an interception. I guess the only play that didn't was when Culpepper injured himself running out of bounds.

That has to be a new level of futility, when your only highlight is when your backup QB pulls a hamstring running out of bounds.
