This past season Rodgers calf injury did us in IMO. It was remarkable how well he did on basically one leg.

I see Rodgers' injury in somewhat the same light as the calls that seemed to go against Wisconsin. I will always believe the Packers would have beaten Seattle if Rodgers had been healthy. However, I don't blame the loss on that because the Packers were still in a position to win the game anyway. Same thing with the Badgers. Even with some calls that went against them, they were in a position to win the game. It was their own failings that led to the loss, same as with the Packers.
outrage is a strong word; you give me too much credit
I'm just getting my whip out trying to stir the pot just a bit to get some nice debate and arguments at a time when there is little going on in football
I should really make a topic like this at least once a week........or.........I wish somebody else would
Cheers
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
No disagreement with any of that; In fact, I'm really glad to see people pointing it out.
HOWEVER, Cursed ain't the correct word - because in spite of all that horrific shit with officiating, we have been BLESSED - not Cursed - as Packer and Badger Fans with pretty much a whole generation of GREATNESS.
If Rodgers was 100% I truly believe we would have scored TDs on half of those turnovers in the first half and not FGs and our lead could have been insurmountable for Seattle to overcome.
I do agree - had the Badgers not shot the ball so poorly against Duke they would have won that ball game too.
I always felt like the Packers were cursed with excessive injuries, but I'm pretty sure that's due to my own extreme myopia.

I am reasonably certain, though its early and the sample size of a single season is small, that many of the fatigue injuries were self-inflicted.
It might not be a coincidence that updating nutrition, practice and schedules to something more consistent with current knowledge coincided with a very healthy year.
Now we just need M3 to update his planning on high-leverage scoring situations and they will be unstoppable.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
^^^ All that may be true, but did the Packers really have overall more injuries over the past 12 years than other teams? That's the issue, and since I don't have the patience to do a thorough run-down of the league, I am assuming I think it's higher due to familiarity with the team. But, as more teams figure out "fatigue" and other factors, they will all adjust and everything will prob. even out again (except for the Browns, because, they are the Browns).
