It is the third quarter on Thanksgiving Day's early game in Detroit. And it is not pretty.John Kuhn just scored the Packers second touchdown, to give them a deceiving 14-0 lead, but it was only after a number of dropped passes, a flurry of penalty flags, an ejection and plenty of bad blood.Thankfully.For it seems that Green Bay is finally having to play with the intensity that is necessary to continue to improve.Previous games have seemed to be more of a party for the Pack with smiles, Lambeau Leaps, joking, spooning with the opposing team's players and head coaches, and other things that are fine for late in the fourth quarter, but not until then.Instead of smiling, the Packers should be showing their teeth until the final two-minute warning.The concentration on the faces of Packer players is nice to see.Perhaps it will work to ensure the Lions get properly cooked.
