2013 TM93 WK9: Chicago at Green Bay Gameday Thread

McCarthy: "Aaron has a shoulder injury... we don't have a final diagnosis... we'll run more tests tomorrow"

Bears fans might disagree with you. 

MM : "Im focused on Seneca Wallace right now"

Uh uh.

you have to think Flynn could come in and pick things up in a matter of days.

he can at least throw it a yard or 2 farther than Wallace

I think it's an injury to the SC joint.  (sternum-clavicle joint)  Broken collarbone is easy to see on X-ray.  Possible AC joint separation (typical shoulder separation), but I would expect that if they didn't see it on x-ray (meaning a really a bad injury) , they would have "shot him up" and he would have played.  

At least Flynn might actually want to be out there, compared to "I'd rather be anywhere else" Wallace. I'd rather see Flynn or Tolzien before I watch Wallace again. I expect a backup to be rusty and off-target. I do not expect a 10-year vet to act and look like he doesn't want to play at all, much less release the ball. After that first batted ball and interception, it was all over for Wallace.

Then he was asked if it was a fractured collar bone. Same answer. Bullschit. They know if he has a fractured collar bone or not. Have they heard of the invention of X-Ray? That thing is fractured, you can bet your ass on it.

That would be the ONLY thing that makes sense when MM says they want further tests. There ARE no further tests needed to see a fracture.

Sounded like even MM wasn't too happy with Wallace but realizes he has no choice right now.  Wallace's only plus before was that he culd run.  Can't even do that now.  For the life of me I can't figure out what Ted was thinking.

Further tests on an SC joint probably mean to determine if he needs surgery or not. The only positive is that it's his non-throwing shoulder.

I agree on Wallace.  We'll have to see how he can do with a full week of prep.  I expect Aaron to be back in 4-5 weeks.  Go to Hell Bob McGinn.

I don't think he'll need surgery.  If it is an SC joint injury, surgery only happens if the end of the clavicle is pushed posterior(into chest cavity) causing breathing/bleeding problems.  He likely has a subluxation (anteriorly) and treatment is rest/ice/pain meds.  

I think that's the same injury Cecil Shorts experienced earlier this year. He missed the rest of the Bronco game but came back the next week.

However, I think Big Ben had that same injury last year to his throwing arm and missed three games.

My, how things can change in an instant!  Prior to this tonight's game, I was thinking we were about to be one of the top teams in the conference with a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way out.  Guess that's why they play the game.

Seriously, the Pack laid an egg tonight.  The game was winnable, even without Rogers, but the defense crapped the bed.  Can't help but feel this loss is gonna sting in the end, even if we are able to hold together over a stretch without Rodgers. 

Great info DocBenni

Significant swelling will limit an xray, right?

Apparently ours is. Or your defense is just that pathetic. Or Kyle Long truly is the beast I told you all about it.

Either way, SUCK IT FUDGEPACKERS!

If that's what you need to do to beat a team of 2nd and 3rd stringers, have it Chiteater.

Ohhhh, that's unique and witty and typical Deep.

yeah, what a difference 24 hrs makes.or just 1 play. yesterday we were on our way to 6-2, putting a stranglehold on the division and putting ourselves on pace to earn a bye.

now were mired with 2 other craptastic pretenders in the division  and our starting QBs name is Seneca, like the Apple juice.

Im not sure we can just absorb losses like everyone thinks, and not be on the outside looking in when/if Rodgers returns

LOL...yeah the rest of the league is just scared to death of Chicago and the vaunted team. How thrilled will you be at 8-8? The Lions will KILL you. Book it pussy.
