THE injury

Sources say that Aaron Rodgers is the face of the Green Bay Packers.

Ed Werder has a report that internally, Packers are pessimistic about Rodgers this week.

Ed Werder @Edwerderespn 4h
Packers pessimistic about Aaron Rodgers being cleared for Dallas. Scheduled for practice today but source says playing inside 8 weeks risky

So raise one in tribute to red, who called this weeks ago. The game Sunday at Dallas is six weeks, eight weeks is @ Chicago.

Yep, Doctor Red nailed it. We were all wishful thinking.

We'll see. He is merely trade bait after Flynn wins the superbowl.

[Tony Oday]

We will crush Dallas.

[Guiness]

We will crush Dallas.

I think it will be a closer game than it appears at first.

The Cowboys did not show up for the game in Chicago (They weren't happy that they didn't get upgraded for the flight over so stayed home). It will be a different team the Pack sees this Sunday, don't expect them to roll over the way they did for the Bears.

Clefty reports from inside sources - sources deep inside the Packer organization - that Rodgers will play at Dallas on Sunday. Or, he might not.

[woodbuck27]

Odds of winning at Dallas with Matt Flynn: 13%

Odds of beating Pittsburgh with Matt Flynn: 50%

Odds of getting to Chicago and Aaron Rodgers's return at 8-6-1: 6.5%

Anybody keen to take that $action$?

Did that source have a broom or a mop in his hands? If so he's **as good a prognosticator as anyone else on the planet RE: Was Aaron Rodgers starting Sunday in Dallas.

Well.... except for TT and MM and ' the real face ' now of the Green Bay Packers; Packers team doctor Dr. Patrick McKenzie.

It's an outrage he's not on the field tomorrow. Just ask him.

Pick your starter for week 16 before Wednesday. My intuition says Matt Flynn, and probably for the next two weeks. Something tells me the Packers have no intention of letting ARod see the field again this season.

Even if Detroit loses tonight?

Word.

I would announce Rodgers today if I thought it would mess the Lions up in their already confused head.

Or would saying he's in agony make the Loins relax?

Maybe seeing MM act defensive before the team departed Green Bay for Texas. Maybe Mike McCarthy's behaviour might indicate that something stinks in the state of Denmark.

I'm waiting a full day after that incredible comeback in Dallas; for Packerrats to have ample time. Time to savor that awesome comeback yesterday before I post anything more specific about that. I'm really suspicious that MM acts so covertly for more reason than simply withholding from the enemy.

I ask myself this sort of question:

What is all this emphasis that Mike McCarthy places on ..."

" Well it's a week to week thing. I just can't tell you where (anything... or fill in the blank) really stands. "

That to me is a whole lot of 'NO Speak'. He's a HC not a 'foxey' politician. He's the HC of a team that has millions of dedicated fans.

Packer fans at least deserve his honesty...and in whatever terms that honesty has to come.

We were there before MM and we'll be here after he's gone.

PACKERS !
