Notes:
Games - Starter Games Lost
IR - starters on IR
16g - 16 game starters

Notice #1 v #32 :)...

As for good uses of twitter, I tweeted the author of the article that the IR numbers weren't squaring up with pro-football-reference, and he responded that the IR and 16g columns were flipped. Apparently he fixed it bc the link looks better now :).

thats depressing

we have a lot more then 4 on the IR don't we? or is the whole chart just for starters?

[red]

nvm, it is just starters

thats really depressing

[Guiness]

Quite a list of teams with 6 starters on IR - San Diego, Philly, Jax, Carolina and Detroit. We have the most starter games lost though.

NE and Sea with no starters lost to IR. Charmed life.

Wow that is depressing.

not anymore

[denverYooper]

not anymore

No kidding. 2 big ones in the first game of the playoffs. Clemons almost singlehandedly wrecked the Packers in their first game.

[Tony Oday]

I would submit that as long as the one guy doesnt get hurt we will make the playoffs 90% of the time...we just need the rest of the team healthy at playoff time.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

It seems like for the last couple years we are always the most injured team in the league. The 2011 season wasn't as bad in terms of number of players injured, but we did lose Collins for career in week 2 which made us a much weaker defense that year and this year as well. Teams like the 49ers, Seahawks, among others, don't have nearly as many injuries as we do. The defense would be a lot stronger if we had Collins, Bishop, and Perry added to the current group.

I think its about time the other teams start losing key players and we stay healthy for a while :)

[Pugger]

I'm really starting to wonder what in the hell is going at 1265 that we have these injury issues. Yes, every team has injuries but it seems like we keep having more than our fair share. :(

It'd be interesting to look at multi-year injury trends because it sure does seem like GB gets it worse than others. I'm not sure if that is due to their handling of injury or just a recent run of bad injury luck in the last 2 of 3 years.

The injuries to the Packers never seem to work out terribly for them, though. Maybe it's just a roundabout way to promote the young up-and-comers ;), though I think that argument falls apart when you look at Collins's or Bishop's backups.

The fault lies squarely with TT for drafting injury prone guys.

[smuggler]

You typically don't know how injury-prone a player is until he plays in the NFL.

I think he was joking.

We had a poster, might still have him, who insisted it is a rule that any player who has a history of two major injuries (even if they are to minor body parts :lol: ) had to be ignored as a rule. They claimed this explained the colossal error that was the Justin Harrell pick. Everyone in the NFL knew this rule except Ted.

Ted is not one of those crazy stat heads. Everyone knows he just falls in love with how a guy looks in shorts :lol:

I remember a similar discussion. I've always wanted to see evidence of a statistical correlation between past injuries and future injuries. I would guess that you might find it for certain, related injuries. For example, some injuries may never lead to a full recovery - thus there is an increased chance of re-injury. However, the above premise is that any injury history can predict future injuries that are totally unrelated. For example, Harrell's back injury was predicted because he tore his bicep in college.

At this point it is nothing more than a random theory without anything to back it up.

I see what you did there.

Is that why my eye-sight is going to shit?

I am glad you saw it. I completely missed it.

Yup, all kinds of random. To try and pretend you can figure it out is crazy, there is so much that is just a fluke. Collin's injury is exhibit A. An obvious exception the other way is knees - if a guy has had a few knee injuries, you have to be all kinds of careful. Jason White comes to mind...

[sharpe1027]

Adrian Peterson: injury #1 LCL; injury #2 collar bone. Must be ignored and a colossal error.

[Freak Out]

Rodgers was injury prone....now isn't. Hooray!

[sharpe1027]

Rodgers was injury prone....now isn't. Hooray!

And there was much rejoicing.

Didn't Favre have the same degenerative hip condition that ended Bo Jackson's career? Injury prone!

[Patler]

Anthony Munoz had three knee surgeries in college. Sure was a mistake drafting the Hall of Famer.

The rumor/tall tale was that Munoz broke the Cybex machine that was testing his knee.
