    Can anyone blame the losing Season (last) to Injuries and poor Defensive play and that hold up?



    This Chart is taken from the LINK above.

    it shows that, yet again, the Packers are about average for both the number of injuries and the impact of the players lost.

    It demonstrates that well run teams like Philadelphia and New England actually have more injuries, but somehow tend to win anyway.

    Is that a factor of LUCK or good management (good coaching) ?

    I'll go with the latter and a Pro Sport.

    Philly is 59-53 over the past seven seasons with two playoff appearances, and hasn't won a playoff game since 2008. Is that the model you want the Packer organization to follow?

    Wait until woodbuck discovers the Packers were 30th in adjusted man games lost in 2010 (30th as in 3rd MOST games lost) when they won the Super Bowl. He will immediately demand the Packers organization be styled just like that supremely well run franchise.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Havn't many Packer fans considered that not much more than an ** anomaly ** given the way it's gone in any other Season of the Murphy, Thompson, McCarthy and Capers Era?

    ** that's a politically correct choice of words **

    Exactly, it was Seattle and before that NO. When those teams fall on bad times the complainers just pick the next up and coming team. Next year will be the LA Rams until they have a bad season.

    The reality is there are ~25 teams in the NFL wishing they could have the consistency of NE, PITT or GB. And if it was that easy to duplicate every team in the league should be 8-8 because everybody would be doing the exact same thing.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
