There's several differences between the teams of this year and last year. The biggest one is injuries.

We have a new QB. I believe our FB has been changed between Kuhn and Hall. James Jones hasn't started every game as he did the season prior.

QB - First year starter at QB instead of the best QB to ever play.

RB - Grant missed camp and had an injury. No Vernand Morency this season.

FB - I think we had Hall from the get go last season. This year it's been Kuhn/Hall with Lee in the back too sometimes.

WR - Jennings missed two games last year, none this year. James Jones has missed something like six or seven games this year though.

TE - No Bubba Franks but that might be an improvement. D Lee has played all games.

OL - Gosh, I think we shuffled the OL last year just as much. However this year I think we've had more injuries on the line.


DL - Jenkins, IR. Williams, traded.

LB - Barnett, IR. Hawk slowed by injury for a game or two and also was used minimally in a game due to injury.

DB - Bigby missed many games as well as Rouse missed a few due to injuries.

P - Last year Ryan sucked, this year Frost sucks more.

K - Last year Crosby made the 53 yarder to win the game, this year he missed it.




Any thing I'm missing or needs correcting? I'm think this team is a little more different than most people want to believe when some thought is actually put into it. Not to mention the teams were playing against present several different matchups that make it harder and/or easier to come out on top.

thanks for finally posting an in-depth look into the roster changes. maybe it will make people stfu about it either being ALL because of a certain guy that we won OR those who want to blame that certain guy for certain losses. sheesh people - it takes a friggin TEAM!!! i don't think that was more clearly displayed than today at lambeau. if people can't understand what's smackin them right in the face, they don't know football...period! 😃

hah ... it was Terry Bradshaw's comments earlier today that sparked this. Some naive individuals feel that we only have on new player on our team and that we're as healthy as we were the prior year. That's simply not the case. We were lucky as crap last year and we caught several teams at the right time. ie, Chargers, Giants, Eagles, etc. That's not to discredit those win's by any means, but each of those teams were far better later in the season than when we played them. Obviously since the Giants won the SB and I believe the Chargers were in the AFC championship game.



Oh we have a new holder and long snapper too. Not sure what that matters, but it just clicked in, lol.

I wonder how much it helps for teams to have another season of tape on us too? Although it should be noted that teams typically only go back to the last four games.

Couple notes from what I can remember

RB - Grant didn't start the first half of last year... so in a way that is similar to this year with him being slowed by injuries (not having Grant at a serviceable level).

WR - Ruvell Martin is also hurt this year which sucks. No KoRo. Jordy Nelson has played well

TE - Jermichael Finley here to complain :p

OL - specifically missing wells for awhile hurt. He seems to have hit his stride though because I can't recall him getting beat or having any penalties unlike a number of our lineman

DB - Nick Collins and Al Harris have also been injuried for spells, though Collins has played through almost all of them. Chuckie Woodson also had to play on a broken foot but he's Jesus reincarnate so it didn't effect him.

Edit: Good post Zero :thumbright:

Broken toe, not broken foot. Let's not exaggerate here 😛

I think you also have to acknowledge the injury to Rodgers shoulder.

It was Troy Aikman last week (I think) that said Rodgers told him it's been a difficult injury to play with.

And if McCarthy is to be believed, the missed practice time has also negatively hurt Rodgers.

True true, but I think our old QB played nicked up as well. Although I don't believe he missed any practice time.


The more I think about this same team as last year, the more differences I'm finding.

Common people get real and face the facts. There is only one reason GB is only 5-5 this year:

Geoff Jenkins is not playing for the Brewers anymore.
