With Bishop out and Hawk questionable, we're going to have to put up big points to take out Michael Bush. He's due for a big game.

These injuries are really going to test us. This is reminding me of last year. In a way, this is only good for our team again building our depth and showing the character of the backups and the quality of our coaches.

Guys like Starks, Sitton, and Bishop are going to get extra rest to be ready for the playoffs. Precautions are a good thing.

Clifton has played with many injuries and we will be told of "remarkable progress" once the playoffs start.

The Raiders and Chiefs are nonconference and unimportant games, only tick marks in the win column.

In fact the game against Mr. Haney and the teddy bears isn't that big either except for tradition and a Chtistmas treat.

Getting healthy and avoiding further injury is important.

#Packers TE A. Quarless hasn't had reconstructive knee surgery yet after being hurt Sun. Inj. believed so severe his '12 season in jeopardy.

...:(

It looked like at least an ACl and possibly a MCL along with it.

The recovery time for just an ACL is over a year. I didn't think he would be back at all for next year, it is just too late in the season for him to be able to come back in time.

They could PUP him and bring him back at the very end of the season. But he is a 2nd TD. With Fin, Crabtree, Williams and Taylor, I think we don't need to rush him back to play less than 100% and risk another injury.

He will be better off taking the whole year off and coming back 100% in 2013.

Sucks about Quarless. Dude had come a LONG way and had a ton of potential. Then to get clipped so blatantly and have this happen? Fucking hard.
As for the defense, it will be interesting to see how they look. I think some of the problems they've had were due to the two five alignment. But I'm still a little worried.
I think we'll have a good enough lead to force them to pass, but I look at this as a test. Get some film on our run d.

I read Bishop said he thinks he should be ready to play next week.

And Mike McCarthy is hoping Clifton will start practicing again next week. (practice does not mean play... but it's a start.)
