We need to keep that going and pray the injury bug stays away.

You mean the injury bug has stayed away so far?

Sorry. I had something in my throat. Carry on.

Well, Kampman was a blessing in disguise. But, compared to most teams we have seen relatively few injuries. With Lee we have no idea of what we have. Sure, he's lost a year of development, but he's so raw would he be starting over Bush anyway? Harris of course was a major blow. Blackmon? I dunno, he can't cover worth a squat. We obviously miss him in the return game. Jordy is just too slow.

My point with Blackman and Lee wasn't so much that GB lost their specific talent, but that they were penciled in as the #4 and #5 CBs. And we lost one of the starting CBs. So the team has one position that's been practically decimated with only 2 of the top 5 not on IR. Then there is the individual talent loss from Blackman on special teams.

Man I always forget about Lee. Hopefully he'll show up in our new scheme and develop into a good corner and replace harris and woodson alongside williams..15 years from now of course..because harris and woodson don't age.

Pickett and Raji both suffered injuries on Monday night. Pickett's is a hamstring, Raji's an ankle. Pickett has historically been a quick healer so hopefully he's ready to go by Sunday and doesn't aggravate it any by playing. If the Packers got really unlucky and neither was ready to go, I would rather see them go to nickel with Jolly and Jenkins at DTs (and possibly subbing Chillar for Bigby) instead of trying to put Jolly or Jenkins at NT. It would also not be surprising to see the Bears miserable running attack continue to suck this Sunday regardless of who the Pack puts in there.

At this point, I'm rooting for the Eagles to win that division. I want a Giants and Cowboys loss to give us some breathing room. A win would give us a two game lead over the Giants and give us a one game lead (with the tiebreaker) over the Cowboys.

I cannot believe some of you are worried about the Steelers. They have lost to the Bears, Raiders, Chiefs, and Browns.

***EDIT***
A Giants win over the Eagles both are 8-5
A Charger win over the Cowboys the Cowboys are 8-5

Giants have the tiebreaker over the Cowboys due to sweep.
Cowboys have head to head win over Eagles.
Eagles have a better Conference Record than the Giants.

Head to head wins are better tiebrekers than Conference record.
Knocks the Eagles out of playoff position, gives the Giants the division lead, and should keep the Cowboys behind the Packers for the rest of the season.

i'll be watching for this to play out. btw...what does sov and sos stand for?

[CaliforniaCheez]

SOV = Strentgh of Victory. The combined winning percentage of teams defeated.

SOS = Strength of Schedule The winning percentage of all teams played.
