1) They are not on the active roster.

2) Just what were Quinn Porter's contribution to the Super Bowl season? or Allen Barbre's?

3) 53 players on the roster are in the photo even if Graham Harrell's contributions were not so significant.

4) Perhaps there should be the 53 plus any that were on the roster 8 weeks or more.

I don't agree with this decision, they are part of the team as much as anyone else.

This is not fair and I will not stand by the Packers side on this decision.

---

I guess I just don't have enough information to get sand in my vagina over this, but I do one thing that is for sure.

GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!

---

I will wait until I hear all the facts about this situation before I pass judgment. There are still some unknowns in my opinion.

My belief is everybody who spent time on the field in gametime action should be included in the photo.

But if IR players aren't coming until after today--too bad. Take a picture at the Victory Parade.

---

I think they should be able to be in the picture but it seems like logistics (timing of pictures vs. when the IR folks are coming down and medical/rehab facilities available in Dallas etc) won't allow for it. I would hope at least the Packer management would talk to the players directly and explain things.

---

I have no problem with them leaving the IR players out of the photo. There are so many of them it becomes a bit of a problem.
Get healthy and come back next year and get in the picture.

Id really like them in the picture - hope they can get in. I understand the whole logistics thing thou - 15 players on IR and having to get them all down there early with the medical staff eg perhaps there is even liability reasons with there not being enough medical staff.

Wow, people worry about the most trivial of things (yes, I know I do too). It seemed obvious to me even before I got to the article dfosterf posted that the primary reason for this was the sheer number of players on the IR -- and that turned out to be the exact phrase the team rep used.

There are 53 players on the active roster. Add the 15 on IR and that brings it up to 69. Just how many people can you put in a photo before they become an indistinguishable blur?

No to mention, no matter how much you may love Finley, Grant, Barnett, et al., their role in the Super Bowl run was negligible. If anything, the team got better after they went down. It's the players who stepped in and elevated this team to greatness who deserve to shine in the team photo, not the players who are collecting full game checks for watching on the sidelines.

This is a non-issue as far as I am concerned.

I never imagined it to be a big deal for any fan. I can see it being one for a player though. They were talking about just how well the Packers organization treats their players (sports shows)- Washing jocks, folding underwear, etc.

This (I'll stick with faux pas) has the potential to undermine that reputation for "pampering", and while it might not be a big deal, I still have to wonder why they don't just fix it.

The easiest thing to do would be to simply take the pic Thursday or Friday.

It's a half an hour, for cripes sake. What law says the pic has to be taken on Tuesday?
