Here's how i look at it at this point in time.
We had a TON of injuries early. I was pretty down, and thought our season was over.
Now, looking back, i see how Ted had built some depth in the team that i didn't even realize was there. The huge amount of injuries, yet the Packers have just kept on chugging along. THEY didn't quit, or give up. We lost the 3 games by 3 points each. Even with all the adversity, we still hung around in all the games.
I'm glad it all hit early in the season, and not at the end. It gives time for the guys to "jell" at the right time, and we didn't fall too far back with the 3 losses where we can't dig out. We win sunday, we are still right behind the Bears,who at the moment hold the tie breaker.
Could we afford to lose Cm3? No, anymore then we could afford to lose Rodgers. At some point, there are players you CAN'T replace with one of equal value.
But you are only allowed 53 men on your roster, and can only pay so much money out. So at some point, injuries CAN become to big to overcome.
But at this point, the Packers have done one hell of a job, and i'm proud that they haven't quit.
