What will help more is a belief in miracles...prayer.

** Seneca Wallace has managed one win as a starter in the NFL from the 2009 season to present. Overall in that period he's gone 1 W - 8 L.

** In 21 starts as an NFL QB his record is 6W- 15L.

** a 59.1 Completion %

** 31 TD and 19 Picks

** QB Rating of 80.6

** a 59.1 Completion %

** 31 TD and 19 Picks

** QB Rating of 80.6

those #'s really are not that bad. If a QB has a year like that there considered pretty good. and those stats based on games played is about a years time. I am sure there are other factors that caused some of those losses.

Here's a LINK to all of Seneca Wallace's Stat's.

The TD's, Picks and QB Rating are based on all his NFL games as a starter and backup or 64 games.

Most of those losses were with bad teams in Seattle and Cleveland from 2008-2011. They were bad no matter who the QB was. He's not anything more than a decent backup caliber QB, but he'll have a better supporting cast than he had with those teams.

I was looking at starts which I thought your original post was stating. Never the less he is no Rodgers, Farve. Lets hope he gets us a couple wins .

I amended my post to make it clearer.

I'll be over joyed if he helps us to 'wins'.

I'll be a very happy Packer fan if he gets his next win Vs the Eagles.

One game and game plan at a time. The team has to step up.

well yeah. totally inferior teams with subpar talent on the offensive side of the ball...plus scheme. Flynn had been in our system for a few seasons and knew the offense. Don't discount having to learn a new system coupled w/ shitty talent plus a system that doesn't fit his style as major factors.

Don't look now but the Packers are missing three targets Flynn used to have in Green Bay (Cobb, Jennings, Finley) another who is still making his way back, Jones. And an O line that is better at run blocking than pass blocking.

They do have a fancy new running attack, which is supposed to be good for something but I haven't figured out what it is yet.

great running game = playoff wins.

I predict we find out tomorrow that Taco is better than Flynn.

You are braver than I to make such a prediction, especially in print.

Set the Aaron Rodgers injury aside.

We're playing on a short week and that in itself isn't good against a team that has such potential on 'O' and much improved of late on 'D'.

Having noted that:

The high tempo Eagle offense which is in the top third of the NFL in plays run will test our 'D' if it's allowed to get into gear. Yet that offense has been down and up of late. Prior to their huge win at Oakland Oakland, the Eagles didn't score an offensive touchdown in two straight games. Are they for real is still a question mark. It's entirely possible for the Packers to bounce back and shutdown their offense with a solid performance. It's vital that the Packer 'D' steps it up over what we saw Vs the Bears.

It should be noted that the Eagle 'D' has been as good as ours the past five games in terms of points allowed at around 18 /game. Yet the Eagle passing 'D' is ranked worst in the NFL. Inspite of Seneca Wallace's limitations; MM should be somewhat aggressive calling the pass. If Taco gets a 2 TD performance and a QB rating over 80 and the team a +2 TO margin. The Packers have a solid chance to win this game.

The Packer 'D' and especially the DL looked tired late in the MNF game Vs the Bears. Our secondary as a whole wasn't tackling as it must this week. The Packer linebackers will be tested by a stout Eagle running game and must step it up.

The Packers running game is solid but only two teams run the football better than the Eagles (RB's LeSean McCoy and Bryce Brown), and it also cracks the Top 10 in passing offense overall in the NFL. It's vital that the game is managed to keep the Eagle offense off the field and give our 'D' as much rest as possible. That means that MM has to utilize the running attack and a variety of safer passing routes that will keep it real for Seneca Wallace.

We need to see a solid team effort and a win. This game will be a true test of what the Green Bay Packers really are in terms of strength and desire. Lambeau Field has to be into it and loud throughout this game.

GO PACKERS !

But only if playoff games are in cold weather, right?

Miami didn't need a running game with Marino did they?

How many superbowls did miami/Marino win? Must have been a bunch to have used it as an example.

we ahd a hell of a running game against the bears and we still lost (200+ yards)

someone in the game thread put it best when they said something along the lines of "this should prove that only the passing game matters"

i think the running game helps, but todays game, it's all about throwing the ball. the run just gets guys to stack the box and make it easier to throw.

look at the queens. best running back in the game. they can't win shit because they can't throw

i think the pre 70's NFL is officially dead

One other thought I had was that TT was being especially thrifty/budget conscious/cheap regarding Flynn. I think if the Pack picked him up on waivers that they would have inherited whatever contract he was under (please correct me if I'm wrong). He's a free agent now so TT can dictate the terms/price for his services - my guess is the veterans minimum with maybe an incentive or 2.

We all agree that the big IF here is whether or not the medical staff passes his arm/elbow.

Has Flynn even been sighted or rumored to even in Green Bay yet?
