Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has played very well in recent weeks, despite a calf injury. So how has Rodgers played so well with the injury? Seahawks safety Earl Thomas has an apparent theory: Rodgers isn't injured at all. "I'm not buying into this leg issue,' safety Earl Thomas told reporters on Thursday. "I'm not buying...

I'd love to see how healthy most of us would be with a torn muscle in our leg. Aaron Rodgers is injured, but he's still been playing well and toughing it out. That's all that really matters. He would undoubtedly be more dangerous if he was healthy, though. It will likely be the difference against the Seahawks.

I have said too, I'm thinking the injury may not be as bad as Rodgers lets on, especially with another week now to heal after apparently not reinjuring it last game. I'm expecting something not too far removed from Rodgers' usual mobility and throwing. We will need it, as Seattle has better personnel at pretty much every position other than QB and Receiver - maybe equal at RB, but our O Line against their D will make a running game near impossible.

Whatever his condition, I see Aaron Rodgers as having a big game and passing the Packers to a victory.

I don't think he'd be missing valuable practice reps for a ruse lol.

It has been said that a Rodgers who can’t run just takes Rodgers to the level of a Brady who can’t run anyway.

I am chosen by many but taken by no one.

Rodgers is good enough to move around in the pocket and get some extra time and that's what matters more than him taking off two or three times for a 1st down. You know the offensive line is going to work their butts off for the guy Sunday and if Bulaga has a decent game it will make a huge difference.
In the first game after they got behind and Bulaga went down Avril had a field day and there was really no chance in that game to come back.
I think Seattle sticks with four rushers with only an occasional blitz which is what they do for the most part anyhow. If our Oline plays well forcing the blitz at least Arod knows it's coming and that's when he can do some damage. We have all seen when teams effectively rush four and get pressure it's a long day for us.
I look at our Oline as the key to the game. I think our D plays well enough against these guys to give the offense a chance to win the game.
