Jennings appeared to hurt his knee on the very play after Finley appeared to hurt his shoulder at the end of the first half. Although I appreciated the "foot-on-the-throat" mentality by MM, I think the two near-miss injuries to two of the top 3 receiving options was a good omen for waving the white flag and going into the locker room.

Even if he could play on Thursday, I'd say rest him for the Giants. No need to risk further injury even if this is a big game. Lets give Grant and Saine a chance to carry the load and Kuhn can carry the ball in a pinch if needed.

I don't know if Starks will be able to play or not. I am glad I don't make the call. Mike & Co will know what to do.

Thing is GB has no margin of error. They can't afford to give any healthy player a week's vacation this time of the year. If Starks is able to play they need him as much as any of the other starters. If he is not ready then they will have to lean on others to carry the ball for him.

He means they have no margin of error if they want to win the division and/or secure a first-round bye. The Packers can't clinch the division for at least two more weeks, and with the 49ers sitting there at 9-1, they might not be able to clinch home-field advantage until Week 17. The Packers truly do not have much margin for error right now. One big play could conceivably have a huge effect on the outcome of their season.

This game is far more important than the Giants game. If Starks is healthy and can go, you suit him up and use him as needed. I believe the Lions have an easier schedule remaining than the Packers. It's not the Packers division yet. Win this game and you can pretty much say NFC North Champions for the Packers.

I don't think anyone here really cares whether the Packers go undefeated or not. If another team with superior talent comes in and defeats them -- or another team executes a great game plan tailored to foil the Packers' strengths and exploit their weaknesses -- more power to them. What we don't want to see is the Packers' beating themselves -- losing a game because they make stupid plays or execute poorly. We don't want our quarterback throwing an interception at the worst possible moment, or our wide receivers dropping a perfectly thrown goal-line pass, or our defenders whiffing on easy tackles, or opposing linemen lumbering down the field on kickoff returns. That is what drives the fans nuts and makes them nervous about their prospects in the playoffs.

Winning a second Super Bowl > undefeated season. I don't think any Packers fan would disagree.


Beating the Lions > beating the Giants for the Packers chances to win the division.

Beat Lions
11 - 0 and they are 7 - 4 with 5 games to go.

Lose Lions
10 - 1 and they are 8 - 3 with 5 games to go.


I'd rather a four game cushion than a two with a division win being tallied for the Lions.

Defeating the Lions is far more important than defeating the Giants, and I'm sure everyone on the Packers realizes that.
