There really is nothing better than seeing a sea of Honolulu Blue fill the stands of Lambeau Field after a Lions’ win. What makes it even better is when the Packers’ front office sends out a press release that demands the season ticket holders to not sell to Lions fans.

Week four found the Lions making the trip to Lambeau, looking to repeat the win from last year when they stunned the cheeseheads at home. With the 34-20 win, I think we’re starting to see a new era of football in Detroit, with the Lions being crowned the kings of the North.

Although Jared Goff still has the interception bug, the Lions came right out of the gate firing on all cylinders. Racking up a casual 27 points in the first half, compared to the measly 3 points put up by the Packers. I thought that it would be a game rivaling the Denver and Miami murder that happened, but for some reason it looked like we never played football when the team came out to play for the second half.

The Lions’ secondary in the second half did pretty much the same thing that they did against the Seahawks and that was playing soft. I just wonder when we’ll be able to piece together a full football game of playing tough defense, and whether it’s going to happen this season. I will say this though, the Lions defense handed Jordan Love his first multiple sack game this season and Jerry Jacobs locked up two interceptions in the contest.

This win really couldn’t have been possible without the contributions of David Montgomery. 32 carries for 121 yards and 3 touchdowns, you really couldn’t ask for a better game from the guy, especially since he is just coming off of a thigh strain from the previous week. My only concern about this stellar performance is where this puts Jahmyr Gibbs. I’m not saying that we have to treat the rookie like he is entitled to minutes, but from what we’ve seen from the guy, he’s not someone that should be wasting his time on the bench.

Goff was able to notch a throwing TD thanks to a wide-open Amon-Ra St. Brown, but he spread the love around to Josh Reynolds and Sam LaPorta throughout getting both of those guys plus 50-yard games.

I don’t want to speak to soon, but I think we can notch a win for next week. It’s homecoming for the Lions against Carolina, and with the Panthers 0-4 on the season I just don’t think they’ll be able to come into a raucous Ford Field and come out on top. Their quarterback, Bryce Young, is no stranger with the SEC stadiums from his college days, but a wild stadium compounded with the fact that it’s NFL competition, I’m skeptical if he’ll rise to the occasion.

I also want to remind everyone that thanks to the new gambling policies that the NFL has put in place, Jameson Williams is free and ready to go this upcoming week. The lightning quick receiver is entering his sophomore season and can really open up the offensive scheme with a deep ball threat that St. Brown just hasn’t been able to give us.

I will be firmly sat on the couch this upcoming Sunday, ready for another Lions W. Get the chili going in the crockpot, grab a few cold ones, break out the blue kool-aid because it’s Detroit vs. Everybody.
