Official Packers vs. Cardinals Discussion Thread

[George Cumby]

The team has been winning ugly - which is not an indictment becuz of parity - but this is not a year where losing a lynchpin is recoverable.

I'm ok with ugly wins for a few reasons.

1) A win is a win is a win. There's no style points.

2) Being able to win even in suboptimal conditions toughens a team. Give me the 2010 team's grit over the 2011 cachet.

2a) Winning ugly teaches the team they can win various different ways.

3) As bad as the injury situation has been, I'm happy with our record.

Don't confuse this with rose colored bandwagoning. This team has some real flaws, but I see real promise, too. A deep run in the playoffs is a real possibility.

Agree with your points.

Still,, sans Adams, pack can't look in mirror and say, "We're good enough, we're smart enough, and dog-gone-it people like us."

DeAndre Hopkins is a game time decision for the Cardinals also. That would be big if he can't play, but McLaurin was the same last week and played so I wouldn't count on it.

JJ Watt now likely out for the season. Sure glad we didn’t sign him. That goes for Julio Jones too.

I’m not sure we should play Preston Smith or MVS this week. Let them rest through the mini bye and get ready for the rest of the season
