Rodgers with a concussion in OT

[denverYooper]

How can AR plays cards with Flynn on flight back from DC and not play sunday vs Fins?

It was Old Maid.

John Clayton reported that Rodgers has less than a 50% chance of playing Sunday. Bedard almost flat called him on pulling percentages out of his hindquarters.

Clayton, as reported by some Dolphins guy: http://twitter.com/BenVolinPBP/status/27137423867

Makes for better drama if Rodgers comes back this week.

Rotoworld is reporting that Rodgers will address Miami media today and that it's a good sign of Rodgers's availability for Sunday.

Great to hear that Rodgers might be available on Sunday. I think. But are the Packers even going to be able to find 22 guys on the roster who are healthy enough to play? I would never have expected to see the Packers's season go down the toilet in the first five weeks the way this one has.

I swear to you, they are not finished yet....Don't believe in the no-win scenario

Well with Finley lost too now, my confidence is really starting to waiver. At some point we have to be realistic about all this. This isn't even close to a Superbowl team with half the damn starters missing. It's prob time to start looking to next season. Don't give up any draft picks.

Don't worry, we don't do that type of thing in Green Bay. Higher than a 6th anyhow.

The young guys will step up. McCarthy's teams always play better at the end of the season anyhow.

Honestly, if you look at his tenure, it's GREAT in the odd years and bad in the even years. Next year (11), look the fuck out. 16-0 baby!

It's frustrating because of the non-stop injuries and because there might not even be a season next year. I'm glad TT has the cupboard stocked, but I just dont see how we can compete with the best teams with SO many players out. 8-8 seems like a long shot and if we're not going to get into the playoffs, isn't a 4 to 6 win season (even though painful) better for the draft?

But tanking the season is bad for morale. I will never see the point of that, or agree with it. Look at the Lions. Can't win a game to save their lives but really not a horrible team at all.

Let's compete, let's play and let the chips fall where they may.

I agree there's validity to that. But isn't a non-AJ Hawk top ten (Raji) a morale booster when it contributes to wins when the team is healthy again?

Unless they redo the rookie salary structure, the top picks might be viewed as more damaging than helpful. By picking in the middle of the round, problematic picks like Harrell don't end up with salary implications like J. Russell. Sure, you can try to trade down, but it seems less teams are willing to move up.

In any event, I don't feel that there is much of an incentive to throw games.

Except to occasionally move up in the draft (Matthews, Burnett). I say save the picks, since you will probably spend too much for too little and who knows, maybe you will need that pick to move up in next year's draft to get another blue chip player like Matthews.

I agree with you.

I don't believe that you can trade for anyone that makes a meaningful difference right now.

Trading up? Don't know, don't care. Wasn't my point. My point was we don't have a track record for trading picks for players, and that isn't likely to change.

Yeah. Apparently, they've tried to swing trades for players but they really suck at it because the only one I remember actually going through was Grant.

I have no idea if they "suck" at it or not. Again, wasn't my point.

Trades are certainly not part of the core ideology though. So maybe Ted undervalues the market? Again, no idea. we just don't trade for players. (pretty much period).
