I am just really bummed by the injuries....and am hoping none are long term.



Those of you, like Blaire, who apparently don't work for a living and have time to browse the interweb, please post anything you find.



Thanks...I and my dog thank you,

Sprained "quad" "groin" "hamstring" points to training/nutrition/practice habits. Seems to be a recurring issue with this team and players ailing with some "minor" injury that will sideline players for weeks. 

As much as packer fans rip Aikman, he does make a point with this team dealing with seemingly never ending injuries. And yes, were only in week 2. 

Cobb's shoulder is just weak.  IMO, it's neither here or there, but it seems like he has had shoulder injuries almost every year.  I know he has had them a couple of years.  So, should we get rid of him, since he's not consistently available, or deal with it?  Separated shoulder out 2-4 weeks, (something like that), you can set your clock to it.  I like Cobb, and I don't think we should get rid of him, but all of the bitching and moaning about it, isn't going to change the injury fact.

Daniels, is a tough dude, he would've played, if he could have.    

That is a problem for Cobb. Built like a QB, with the mentality of someone like Montgomery. Cobb will never be a #1 WR because of this. He is however, a very smart route runner, just can't take too many (direct) hits it seems.

If it were the playoffs, Daniels would have probably played. But you don't win Super Bowls in September. I'd rather have Daniels, Cobb, and Nelson healthy for a road playoff game in January than risk losing them for the year by playing injured and increasing the chance for home playoff games (especially when you are already playing a game with two new OTs).

That's good news. He'll be out only a month.   It looked yesterday like he was just angry on the sideline at what was happening on the field. Dom looked like he couldn't find this week's gameplan and decided to use last week's. MM too loyal to him for many years now.

Dom needs to go. Reminds me of when Kapernick was cutting us up and he had no answers. Other NFL teams didn't make him look that good.

MM and TT get the blame keeping him around. What, after every season they tell each other that next year will be the years Capers excels? Or are they afraid that if they bring in a new DC it will expose bad drafting on defense?

The Packers don't believe Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb or Mike Daniels have long-term injuries, but there are still awaiting all the test results. Mike McCarthy may have an update this evening when he holds his day-after-game press conference at 7 p.m. CT but they are likely to be considered day to day, week to week injuries like most soft tissue problems are.

Looking for answers in the 7pm presser?

I had both a heart attack and a pulmonary embolism on the same day 2 weeks ago.  Does that count?

First thing I thought of was Randy Quaid's line of "Are you serious Clarke?" when Chevy Chase tells the little kids that NASA spotted Santa's sleigh in Christmas Vacation.  But I hesitated, not knowing if you were joking.  I sincerely hope that you are doing o.k.

Holy CRAP Wulff!

I think that counts. 

You must be doing better to post in this hell hole after a crappy loss.

This is no time for a "He's day to day" joke is it? 

But seriously, get well bud!

No need to take any chances for a game against the Bungles. Shut him down and let it heal.
