I hope taking the season off will mean that Collins’ career is as long and dominate as it would have been without the injury, whether he’s with the Packers or not.

I don’t think we’ll see Thompson make any major moves or acquisitions unless one of the guys filling in for Collins gets hurt.

According to this, he does NOT have stenosis. So that's good. VERY good. Still, I don't like how this is playing out. Hope he can play again.

and as far as stenosis goes - errr whatever ... read below

All of these diagnosis are based on an orthopedist's point of view which is - problem = fix with something that is outside the body (like a knife etc) ...

how about they get some peep in there that will treat the body as sacred and heal naturally.

Going to miss collins - damn his SB int was a game clencher.

I get what you're saying, but... has there been any indication that they're going to do surgery?

Is a disc problem even something that will heal naturally?

The thing that scares me the most is "it is to early to tell" that is a huge red flag statement.

Not necessarily. It always takes days to weeks for the inflammation in a central nervous system injury to subside to the point that they can make an accurate assessment of the injury and determine a long-term prognosis.

Again, he's not on IR, therefore he's coming back. That's my denial story and I'm flippin stickin to it!

Edit,

I can tell you what it isn’t: He did not break his neck, he didn’t break his back, he didn’t injure his spinal cord. He was 100 percent OK (Sunday) night, with no numbness. We understand there was some disc involvement, but we don’t know what extent. The team took the step of putting him on injured reserve today, and their recommendation was they didn’t think they wanted to put him at risk for any future injury this year. What that means at this point, I can’t tell you. We don’t have a problem with it.

Right now, we don’t know anything more at this point. Nick has told us he feels fine. We’ll see what kind of damage he’s done to himself with this fluke injury. What is absolutely wonderful is he has absolutely no lingering effects. He has full mobility, no numbness, and that’s what we’re thankful for.

Well that's mighty encouraging at least. Good for him.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

I'd rather the guy had a life beyond football. Sterling never played again and we lived.

Man, I'm going to miss the guy. He's truly a beast. Huge opportunity for Burnett to break out though.

packerfanoutwest (21h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (22-Nov) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2
