Thanksgiving Day - Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions: 3rd quarter running diary

And we're back after Nickelback does whatever Nickelback does. A rock band with...SYNCRONIZED DANCERS?

They should be embarrassed...but they are Nickelback, so it's nothing new.

And we wait as the stage is stuck on the field...figures. Why only one song?

Via WXYT's Jeff Riger on Twitter:

Apparently Nickleback was supposed to play two songs but the NFL pulled one of them because of drug references. Thats the rumor!

OMFG! DRUGS! IN THE NFL? NEVER!

The Packers hit a long pass to start the half, 26 yards to Finley at midfield.

FLAG. Packers procedure. At least it wasn't on the Lions.

Driver catches a 15 yard pass, Pack in Lions' territory at the 40. Shitfuckdam...

PAckers moving the ball well, picking on the Lions' backups, McDonald and Spivey.

FLAG! False start. And the flags, they keep on a-comin'.

Aaron Berry whiffs on an open field tackle...then has to leave the field injured. Lions getting so thin at CB, John Wendling in the game. Packers in the red zone.

FLAG. False Start. Well that's something...

3rd and goal from the 3...wants Driver...incomplete!

There's a scrum on the field...FLAG. And it's on Suh. So much for 4th and goal. That's flag number 10.

SUH
And so much for not being called a dirty player...

SUH is flagged for a presonal fouls and then tossed for kicking. Stomping, to be more accurate. Fucking DUMB. So the visit to NFL HQ did jack shit, obviously. I don't care if you were tackled by a Packers o-lineman, you cannot lose your composure in that way.

I wonder what Suh will say after the game...but there is no defending it. A suspension coming? Probably.

ESPN says it's case closed, Suh is dirty.

In what surely will be a highly-rated game on national television, Suh just lost forever his battle to be viewed as a physical player who stops short of being dirty. There is no explaining what he did, and the entire nation just got to see it. That was a dirty play with no intent other than to hurt Dietrich-Smith. The vast majority of his controversial plays haven't qualified as such in my mind. But today's was too blatant and too visible to dispute.

And there's no one to blame but Suh.

Avril hurt...ARRRGH.

Packers finally score 6 on an off tackle run. The extra points courtesy of Ndamukong Suh. He's going to get roasted...and it will be deserved.

14-0 Packers.

Stafford using Morris extensively, moves the Lions past midfield.

Stafford then proceeds to throw a pick.

Rodgers makes the Lions pay, as Jones beats McDonald deep on a 65 yard pass.

21-0 Packers.

McDonald is hurt...amd I hate to say it, but he won't be missed.

The Lions won't be coiming back from 21 down. Not against the Packers. So much for their Thanksgiving coming out party. Yes, the Packers are the best team in football, but the Lions have done little to distinguish themsleves. Penalties, turnovers, injuries and dirty play have been the story of the day.

Stafford throws PICK number 3.
