I'm here for the fire McCarthy

Yep. I give credit to Bengals front 7. They have reputation of being one of the best in the league. Packers have struggled with 3rd/4th & short for years.

welp...

Need some run-good on WR injuries.. Depth is a pile of AIDS compared to a couple years ago.

No word on Cobb but Jones is a shin injury, shouldn't be too bad imo

Maybe Driver can come out of retirement. It's pretty ugly after #3 on the depth chart.

Cobb broke his leg.

Sigh... this sucks

**** this year

this year was always about sneaking into the playoffs with the schedule (though it's looking easier than before). if we can get in our guys should be healthy and we have as good a shot as anyone

Given that the NFCS is AIDS after the Saints and I can't believe anything more than 9-7 or 10-6 from the Lions, makes sense. Schedule isn't looking as daunting as it once did.

Coming into the week, GB was 15th in adjusted sk% and #1 in adj. line yards, so winning ugly BECAUSE of the OL may actually happen a few times to finish 10-6 or 11-5.

Figure 1./2. will be Seahawks/Saints, 3. Bears, 4. Cowboys/Eagles, then the Niners in 5th, we could very well be facing the Bears in Chicago in the Wild Card Round, so yeah, there's a chance at the Divisional Round, 'cause the Bears defense stinks while healthy, IMO, and is banged up.

Clay should be fine, but I'm unsure what we can trust from Cobb coming back, though. Everything I've read about broken fibula is pretty bad; long recovery at best.

I can see how this team's ceiling in the NFCCG, but any path to the Super Bowl requires beating the Seahawks with Percy. Seahawks have some better guys they're looking forward to coming back.

Woo 10-6 here we come, if that

I think we'll still win the division, after all we still have two easy wins against the bears remaining.

Cobb on IR with designation to return. So at least 6 weeks.

So, the Packers apparently have so many injuries right now that they might not be able to field a full team of 46 players. Lovely.

Rodgers at LB

I think you guys are being overly pessimistic. Though if Finley's out too that would really suck.

I realize that packers have injuries but you're still winning the division, Vikings are lol, Bears are just as bad if not worse shape injury wise (imo it's worse) and have a WOAT defense, Lions are still stupid, etc. Doesn't seem like any NFCN team has a shot vs the elite teams but that's really all that matters, get in and luckbox.

Green Bay is as good as anyone in the NFC, we have our division locked up and anything can happen in the playoffs!

"Anything can happen in the playoffs" is far apart from "as good as anyone in the NFC", as GB is not nearly as good as Seattle or New Orleans.

I agree the division should be locked up though. Lions ROS looks like 4-5, Bears look 5-4 (maybe 6-3, winning out if Cutler is back after 4 weeks), Pack seems 7-3 at worst, IMO.

Bears could still be a tough 6-seed. Not sure who else can sneak in there after the Saints, Seahawks, Niners, Packers, and Cowboys (or Eagles but def not 2 NFCE teams in the playoffs).

Jermichael out of ICU and walking

Hope he retires for his own sake

He's walking? Sounds like he's fine, suit him up imo.

Don't think they would have any problem hanging with and/or beating New Orleans (or Seattle in Lambeau, for that matter). Aside from the second half in Cincy (which was really a fluke), the worst they've looked this season has been week 1.

Agreed.

They could start two tree stumps at receiver in place of Finley and Cobb and still rout Minnesota on Sunday. All they need is Godgers, Lacy and Jordy to beat Minnesota. The Packers have had 3 different starting QBs in 20 years, the Vikings have had 3 in 3 weeks.

I was reading that Finley wants to return but he should retire. Any time there's damage to the spinal cord or brain you should just hang it up. I think Nick Collins is still out from his neck injury.
