I innocently opened up this Brad Jones thread only to find that he's been lost for the season, as of today. Nobody even explained it, so here's the link:

http://blogs.greenbaypressgazette.com/blogs/gpg/insider/ 

He aggravated the shoulder injury from earlier in the season.

I'm afraid this is not our year. All of these injuries just make me sick. But I will say that so far there has not been a dropoff from Barnett to Bishop, and maybe not from Burnett to Peprah either. And I don't think there will be much of a dropoff from Jones to Zombo or whoever else replaces him. Brad Jones was just another guy out there.

But at this point I'm expecting the injuries to just keep coming. We are already down to waiver wire guys on the DL, and we are getting close to that with the LBs now too. And the season has not even reached the halfway point.

Also, it seems like a bad sign that the guy who some people thought had ended Favre's streak is now done for the season, while Favre will almost certainly continue to play.

I am just stunned. I didn't realize that Brad was even hurt. How can they possibly have yet another player on the IR?

I think Bishop is actually an upgrade over Barnett. Jackson over Grant too. Losing Finley hurts, but this team has some pretty F'n kickass depth, thanks to TT.
Worried about depth on the Dline, among other things, but so far the depth has stepped up. So far so good.
There are problems, but they aren't depth related, imo. We have enough good players to continue going all the way.

one plus that i don't know has been discussed very much is the way i think it's stepped up our coaching.

before all the injuries it seemed like our coaching was a little, dare i say, lazy. now they're getting more creative with their game planning and scheming and trying to squeeze the most potential out of the personnel they have available. and i think it's working!

Holy F#$% - another one down?

Now I wasnt a big brad jones fan but I figured he must of showed something to have MM/capers to start him. And now he is out too?

- Just one thing - I really want all these pundits that 8 weeks ago said wed either go to the superbowl or to win it to shut it; and stop talking about what we are not doing in the game of football and not even giving credit to the fact our team has been hit with injuries big time.

... other then that - I actually liked zombo in the pass rush better then jones; cept we have no Dline lol and zombo was playing some DE ... just not sure how zombo does in coverage ...

Hey we still got a chance 🙂

I didn't hear much about Jones' injury either. Someone needs to confiscate this doll from Burt or whoever else keeps poking us with needles

The thing that hurts the most is the damage this will do to his longterm development. When guys like Burnett, Jones, and even Finley get put on IR, they missing valuable playing time and experience. This hurts the Packers this year because they were both starters and contributors, but also in future season, due to lost experience. These guys were both improving each week. A lose-lose.

It just sucks.

not just playing time - for all these guys with ACL tears - I remember reading about them in relation to football players when barnett went out and they said on average a football player loses about 25-34% of his speed etc. Barnett didnt seem to get affected by it (which was nice).

Musccy - It's Lovie Smith, not Favre that's doing voodoo on us. Smith might be doing it to the rest of the NFC North as well as the Vikings are pretty injured too (but not as badly as we are, despite what Formo likes to believe).
