Most of the anger from last night is somewhat gone this morning, but the fact still remains that Detroit Lions dominated the Green Bay Packers. There’s no way around it. I would love to give a moral victory paragraph about how Green Bay came close but fell short at the end yet there were some encouraging signs for the future. There was none of that. Lions took the Packers to the woodshed for a 30-17 victory. Their largest win at Lambeau Field since 1980 where Detroit won 29-7 at County Stadium.

Five Stars
Jahri Evans – Packers interior offensive lineman played another solid game on Monday night. He continues to be a bright spot for this team as a right guard. I really don’t think we’ve heard one peep out of people about ‘missing T.J. Lang’, and Evans is a big reason why. He played a strong game protecting Brett Hundley.

David Bakhtiari – Other than one sack, David Bakhtiari continued his return to Pro Bowl caliber form on Monday with a very solid effort keeping Hundley upright from the blind side position. It’s good to see Bakhtiari string together good games after his hamstring injury. He looks fully healthy.

Four Stars
Ty Montgomery – After people threw dirt on him, Ty Montgomery responded with a decent game out of the backfield. Packers did not get much going against this Lions rush defense whose been better of late holding Le’Veon Bell down last week, and Green Bay’s attack this week. But Monty showed that he’s not entirely a bench player. My guess is Green Bay rolls with him next week, more so than Aaron Jones.

Blake Martinez – Another good effort by Martinez on Monday night, I feel like if the NFL did it like baseball where you needed one representative from each team for the Pro Bowl, Martinez would be that guy. He’s been such a lynchpin in shutting down the run. The coverage part of his game still needs some work, but that’s expected from a young guy. The future is very bright with him.

Three Stars
Mike Daniels – Sure, Mike Daniels made a shithead play that might have changed the whole game. Maybe, we should have him lower than a three star, but he did play well after it stuffing the run. Daniels’ penalty changed the entire game in my opinion. I know he’s owning which is fine, but Packers would have forced a three-and-out instead of seven. Who knows what happens there.

Brett Hundley – Let’s ignore the whole thing about Hundley throwing the ball less than five years for a minute here, and talk about the fourth quarter. To me, that was the type of offense Green Bay should have ran all game long. I know no huddle is taxing on linemen, but it works for Hundley. Mike McCarthy has to ride that next week. Chicago is not an easy defense to go up against and it may be the difference in what’s a must-win for the Packers.

Two Stars
Damarious Randall – Loved the fact Randall came off the edge a couple times and forced Matthew Stafford into bad throws. Also, I enjoyed his comments after the game telling the media that ‘We shitted the bed.’ I did not enjoy the fact that there were multiple times where he could have made an interception if he turned his fucking head. Maybe I’m expecting too much, but he has to make that play.

Nick Perry/Clay Matthews – Will we ever see a pass rush again from these two guys? As mentioned by others, you’re paying these two a lot of money to do virtually nothing.

One Star
Davon House – While Randall had his own issues, Lions receivers roughed up House pretty damn good all game long. It started with Jones’ long touchdown catch over him, and it continued throughout the game. House did not show much out there against a Lions receiving core that’s getting better as the games go on.

Aaron Jones – What happened here? We saw Jones for the first couple of plays, and he disappeared from the team essentially. My only guess is McCarthy saw enough when Jones missed a block on a potential touchdown from Hundley to Jordy Nelson.

Next up
Packers head to Chicago, and I do not feel good about this one.

Charlie.
