Exactly and I love this team a lot more then some fans of a lot better teams. I'm still proud of watching 2nd string guys step in and fight even if they're not as talented

Um, I've never made excuses about refs costing us the game.

But you are out, what, 11 starters?

Clearly if you expect a team to play at the same level with such a glaring injury plaque, you are expecting too much.

The Packers should be a more talented teams - and beat the Dolphins - all things equal. Clearly, the injuries do not make all things equal.

Grant.
Finley.
Tauscher.
Barnett.
Burnett.
Mathews.
Pickett.


What other starters were we missing today?

---

I will make injury allowances for the defense, but our offense is playing well below its potential, and Rodgers, as much as I like him, is playing scared. This offense shows no passion, or balls. I am somewhat embarrassed that they still look much more like the keystone cops, than one of the more talented offenses in this league....ev en taking injuries into account.

MM....this offense is now on you.

Chillar
Lee (starting TE with Finley out and although he was active, it was only in case of emergency)
Neal (would have started for Pickett)

Driver seemed to get nicked early and wasn't the same

Anyone that discounts injuries playing into the awful play is ignoring the obvious. We are missing WAY too many starters to compete. Compare it to the preseason, when you have your 2nd and 3rd's in there. Do you still consider it the same team when those guys are in?
And as far as AR........give him the same amount of time the Dolphins QB had, and we would score 50 points. Aaron Rodgers had little or no time to find receivers.
He's getting KILLED out there.
I think our season is pretty much in the tank. The ONLY shot we have is if we can stay close to whoever is at the top of our division and we can win the division. 8-8 nmight just do that.
If we don't get CM3 back for next week's game, Favre will kill us. We saw today just how important a pass rush can be....and what happens to us when we have none.

I gotta tell you, I think our depth (everywhere except OL) is very good. To have a third string LBer in the game and still keep it close...

---

We need huge changes, right up to Murphy.

E. X. C. U. S. E. S.

Ted's theory is that we'll be deep thru the draft. I'd say the lie has been put to that bullshit already.
