if you have $100 bucks and spend five here, ten there, another ten here, another five there, ten more here, etc... it all adds up.

If you're intelligent, you can figure out what I'm saying. Or, I'm just nuts.

It's a part of life in the NFL. Injuries this for the Packers were relatively modest or right on par with other teams in the NFL. So when I hear people trying to use that as an excuse for a bad season I can't help laugh.

I'm not saying injuries don't affect a team. But what I am saying is that every team deals with it. Injuries were NOT the reason for this teams problems this year.

Yes, every team deals with it. We didn't really deal with it last year though and there are some teams this year who weren't hit hard with injuries at all. The Patriots lost the NFL's MVP and still won 11 games and had a shit load of players on IR. The thing is, they've had YEARS of time to build their team and their scheme. The Packers are in their third year with their coaching staff and its in Ted's fourth year. We should have better depth than we do in my opinion.

What I was saying in the first post. Injury after injury adds up and takes its toll. We didn't have the resources to plug players in and maintain things. We had a lot of players missing time, lots of players playing out of position and we're something like the youngest team in the league.

It all adds up. I have a hard time believing there's any one reason we stunk it up this year and I can't put all 10 of our losses on injuries. I'd be willing to make an uneducated guess that we lost maybe two cuz of injuries, but those backups got experience which should help us win games next season.

I can't blame any one aspect for the reason we didn't make the playoffs. But I do think injuries were a factor and more so our inability to overcome those injuries.

Injuries are part of the problem. There is a reason backups are backups, they are not as good. Teams that win overcome them, which GB didn't do, and my belief is that is a combination of the injuries on D, and a scheme that when the injuries hit like they did, do not allow much for being able to compensate.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Why do youcare? This isn't a fight, and a chat room and a forum are two different things. I like the format of a forum better to "argue" than a chat room as there is a history of what was said.

I think it's a great topic and if you don't have anything to add please don't respond.
