Packer injuries in 2021

My biggest takeaway: MLF is a hell of a coach. Usually rises to the occasion when he has to gameplan around an injury.

Perhaps I'm reading that graph wrong, but it looks to me like the Packers are in the middle of the pack in terms of injuries and that it's Tennessee that has been the most impressive.

Edit:  Okay, it looks like there's a difference between total games lost to injury (x axis) versus quality of the players who are injured (bubble size.... yes, size of their bubble).

I'd like to see a total number of starts lost to injury. I'd have to think the Packers are top 5 in the NFL there. I don't care about games missed by scrubs.

I think what has concerned me was the loss of the quality of the players lost. #1 TE, #1Tackle, #1 Pass rusher, #1 CB, #2CB, #1 Center,#1 RB, #1Deep threat WR, #1 WR (but he came back) as well as many quality backups who lost games or out for the season. Add the loss of Rodgers for a game and our DC out for a game.

This!  to me MLF has done one hell of a job as coach and I think this year has been his best yet. 

We were the most injured team in the NFL in 2010, and that turned out OK.

The 2 years in recent history where the Packers were riddled with injury were 2010 and 2016. I think this team is closer to the 2016 version, as most of the injuries have been concentrated on one side of the team (defense).
Another similarity between this year and 2016 is that team overachieved on defense as well, especially the last 8 games, including the playoffs.
