    Things that will make the Packers better:
    Less injuries
    Good drafting

    More specifically for this season -- getting Rodgers, Cobb, Barclay back on offense, and Shields, Perry, Hayward and Pickett's knees back on D.

    Longer term, they'll need a TE that can run down the seam and threaten the middle, and a Safety or two who can cover, tackle, and get the secondary on the same page (preferably the same one that Capers and the front 7 are supposedly on).

    I'd guess the Packers have had an above average # of starters out/lost due to injury, whether you're looking at this year or a 5 year data sample.
    "Next man up" is a nice mantra, but if that next guy is a rookie UDFA who is still learning the playbook, any top-15 QB will exploit that.

        Packer nation may disagree, but I like the big receiver with the large catch radius. Now Rodgers would be even deadlier in the red zone.. Jump balls no problem. Remember everybody has that receiver exceptt the packers. The 6:4 to 6:5 receiver.

          Well, they had that until Finley was out. Unless we are not counting TEs. But if we aren't, then NE and Denver don't have them either.
          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

            Aren't we talking about the future or moving forward or ................. (ahead) in time.

            Does it seem realistic that TE JerMichael Finley will make it back onto the Packer Roster?

            I doubt that will be the case strongly and so JerMichael Finley is removed from the conversation of receivers and big and fast and strong.

            GO PACKERS !

              Fair question. I was answering about how the team in constructed this season, not in the future. But I would expect a player matching hammer's description to more likely play TE for the Packers even in the future. So I am not sure if that meets his criteria or not.

                does finley have a huge catch radius though? does he go up and grab balls that up for grabs like megatron does?

                i've never seen himdo that, and least not in awhile

                from what i can remember,this early in the morning, if the ball isn't thrown right to him, he's not going for it

                did the guy ever sell out for a catch or fight for a ball? i'd say rarely if ever, and thats been my beef with him all along

                  That's exactly what this team needs to get over the hump, another wide receiver.

                    I don't know if I'd call Jordy small.

                      Part of the problem is that it's not just the number of injuries, it's the season or career ending seriousness that sets this team apart. You lose important pieces for three or four games on many teams, but how often do you lose your pro bowl, possible hall of famer safety while he's in his prime - for the rest of his career? Or your top end tight end - possible for the rest of his career? Or both first round tackles you drafted in three of the last four years? Or your rookie of the year in his second year, lost for the vast majority of his second season? Or your first round OLB, lost for most of his rookie year and vast swaths of his second?

                      I only have the Leos to compare, since I don't follow the NFL outside the Packers too much. But I know the Lions don't have near the number or severity of injuries. Not even close.

                        Lions have been pretty lucky with injuries this year, as long as they aren't trying to drive and eat pizza.

                        Their Big 3 of Stafford, Bush and Megatron have injury histories, but that team has much less depth than GB. They've lost games where Bush or Johnson sat out with injuries this year, and Shaun Hill is a decent backup but if Stafford went out I'm not sure he could win them the division.

                        Even with the rules the protect QB's, it's hard to expect your starter to be there for a full 16 games (plus playoffs, with Rodgers) every season. The odds of an injury are too high IMO.

                          Fuck are you guys brainwashable by TV. Gruden comes up with a BS term called catch radius and you bite down like it's your last supper.

                            Without Megatron, that offense is crap.

                              I think we should trademark "catch diameter".
