24-23 Detroit. They'll win another game why not this one.
 
Swift was 6 touches into 2022 when he hurt his ankle, and approximately 24 touches in (week 2) when he hurt his shoulder.

It's week 9. Neither are healed.

Fucking unbelievable.

Yeah. Yes, it sucks to be down close, but sometimes you just take points. He HAS to get better at those decisions. Taking that chance at the 42 instead of a 59 yard FG makes sense. Not at the 6 when you can get points.

Stupid.
 
This isn't one of the green bay teams that they've been on offense. They aren't gonna score on every possession where you need to steal some points here and there. Losing those 3 points is inexcusable.
