    This is getting stupid. This is really, really bad NFL luck. It happens sometimes, but when it's your time it really sucks.

      Yeah, like in 2005 and especially in 2002. 1998 also wasn't so friendly - at least to the running backs. But when you look around the league, this is what every team struggles with - you have to have some luck to stay healthy and win it all.

        Holiday... Now Jones!!!

        Hopefully this isn't serious but if it is JENNINGS NEEDS TO PLAY against the chargers...

        Imagine going into the game on Sunday with:

        Driver Martin and Chris Francies...

        If they want to do a 4 WR set they'd have to bring up Clowney or Onrea Jones from the practice squad...

        This is bad news... Really bad news...

            Lombardi the Healer

            Read how Bill Curry, former Packer center, describes Vince's "old school" method of dealing with injuries...


            "When I arrived in Green Bay to work for Lombardi, I quickly learned what the culture demanded. The second week I had a slight hamstring pull and went to the trainer for therapy. As I lay on the training room table, superstar Paul Hornung walked over. He was one of the few veterans that was nice to rookies. He asked, 'Whatcha got, kid?' I replied that my hamstring was pulled. He glanced around, leaned over in a conspiratorial manner, and said softly, 'The old man doesn't believe in hamstrings.'

            "I stood, walked out of the training room and never returned while in Green Bay. Never."

            (Above is an excerpt from Curry's article: "Injuries require intelligence, not toughness.")

            One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

              I was wondering how many practices that Harris and Woodson miss throughout the whole year. I know they aren't big on OTA's and such. It seems that neither of them practice very much. Could that be why they aren't performing very well right now? Is that why they both seem to get better as the season progresses?

                How are they not playing well? One is playing with one arm! They have given up, what 2 touchdowns in 2 games? Giving up 13 points a game against two of the most prolific offenses in the NFL is fairly impressive if I do say so myself.

                And one of those TDs was a magical throw by Manning. Just a ridiculously perfect ball. No one in the league breaks that play up.

                  Well, unless they're playing their coverage correctly any way.

                    Harris has committed stupid penalties and Woodson has a case of the slips. Not to mention some blown coverages. They are playing "ok" but definitely not to the standard we are accustomed to.

                      The standards we are accustomed to are teams running right at KGB for big chunks of yardage, Poppinga getting burned in coverage, guys missing tackles, and the likes of Manuel and Carroll getting toasted deep.

                      You aren't going to have a game where you get pressure on every snap, miss a tackle, blow a coverage, or slip on the turf.

                        The hammy thing is on the coaches; they should stress warmups. It's a really silly injury that should easily be avoided; being a former soccer coach (kids) I cannot relate to dumbfounding approach by such coaches. Other than that; Packers coaches are doing better than expected with NFLs youngest team.

                            OH, please. You aren't really comparing your soccer coaching to the packers coaches/trainer/etc.

                            Do you really think that all the NFL trainers don't know what they are doing?
