Were the injuries too much to overcome this year?

To have a team completely built around Rodgers still winning a few games with Matt Flynn at QB was pretty impressive, IMO. Compare that to the Colts when Peyton injured his neck.

2. You talk about not having a RB to spell the other guy like it's a huge loss, when the Packers were down to their 3rd string guy. Mixon and/or Gio >>> Brandon Jackson (who?).

I've already shown in vivid detail how the Packers lost more players, better players, for longer periods of time. They went on to win the SB. We're sitting at 5-6 and fading fast. Why? Because this team simply wasn't good enough. If a few injuries breaks you, you're not worthy of being a playoff team...and we won't be. 

This defense was abysmal from the word go. Before injuries. That should be the narrative for 2018. We didn't fire the DC "cuz injuries".


They lost their starting RT and Jermichael Finley was literally their leading receiver when he got hurt (after 5 games).

QB is irrelevant because we were losing WITH Dalton. You can't blame losing on an injury when we were losing with the injured player.

Shake my friend, Fisher makes it 14.

Also, when we had green and Dalton together, we were 5-3. That is the exact record the Packers had after 8 games in 2010. Then we lost green at the end of the 8th game.

I call 5-3 a winning record. And that was with our C out multiple games, multiple TEs out, our RBs rotating with injury weeks.

You seem like an intelligent guy. Look at what happened this year with injuries.
