First Byte Lions preview podcast: Talking Packers with Thane Goetz

The Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers rivalry may be more lopsided as of late, but the games have produced some extremely memorable moments. Whether it be the shanked kick that finally broke the Lions’ winless streak in Lambeau or Detroit’s pummeling of the Packers on Thanksgiving, or absolutely no other memories, the Lions and Packers always seem to put on a show.

So to help break down this week’s matchup between the two NFC North foes, we grabbed Pack To The Future’s Thane Goetz to discuss everything that’s going on with the Packers right now. What’s wrong with Aaron Rodgers and the offense? How good is this young secondary? Who the hell can catch passes for this offense given the myriad of injuries?

We find out answers and much, much more on this week’s episode of First Byte!
