Wow, the excuses are thick in here...like flies.
I've got news for you. Every football team in the NFL has a list of players who play injured or hurt. Look at P. Burress last year with the Giants.
Wow.
In years past when people mentioned injuries (like '05), everyone said that's not an excuse and there and no one gets a free pass, especially Brett Favre. But now, when Aaron Rodgers's at the helm, it's excuse city.
Interesting.
The backpedaling is creating quite a vortex in GB.

Okay lets flip the script a little.
05' season.. ravaged by injuries, shouldn't have Brett been able to lead us to more than 4 wins?
I mean, injuries are part of the game right, teams should be just able to snap the fingers and insert Joe Camel into the lineup and just win, correct. Especially with a HOF QB at the helm. We proved that we didn't have depth at a majority of positions in the 05 season.
Of course injuries play a part.. the true test is in the depth of the team. If you want to harp on anything, harp on the lack of growth on the Oline and the personnel there.
Albeit, we believed we had better depth and talent at the second and third level of the roster.. at least on the Oline and DLine we look to be over estimating the depth there.
If you want to criticize the roster makeup with only 3 DT's on the 53, that is a legitimate concern. But looking deeper they had Jenkins filling a void in that makeup, and you can't predict a season ending injury like that. Add to it that Harrell should be ready to roll in a couple of weeks.. a person could understand the gamble there as well.
It will be interesting to see how things shake out over the next couple of weeks.. adds, cuts and lineup changes.
