If the unthinkable happens, Packers go 11-5 with Wallace?

 

They've never had to make do without possibly the finest player in the league. Losing Rodgers to major injury would be the nightmare of all nightmares. He makes everyone's job easier.

 

Yet, no organization would be better equipped to handle it than Green Bay.

 

Fools will cry that I'm jinxing Rodgers and the Packers by writing about this.

 

What I'm doing is taking a close look at the disaster plan that the Packers have rehearsed countless times behind closed doors. Lack of preparation is inexcusable, and these people didn't play the second half of the 45th Super Bowl without eight starters and still win by being unprepared.

 

Injury is the grimmest fact of life in the NFL. The Packers have been immune at quarterback for 21 years, but it doesn't represent the unthinkable for them. They're paid not just to meet catastrophe, but to conquer it.

 

Having spent much of the week researching the long career of No. 2 quarterback Seneca Wallace and the brief career of practice-squad quarterback Scott Tolzien, the guess here is that even if the Packers were to lose Rodgers early Monday night against the Chicago Bears they'd find ways to finish 11-5.

Nonsense.  I was told by the cognoscenti here that the only reason GB is successful is because they stumbled upon AR.  Without him, whatever model they use to produce players and such is utterly meaningless.  Stupid McGinn.

 

Seriously though, I do think they'd play better than the whole 'don't even watch the games if AR gets hurt' crowd believes, but I also think that 11-5 would be a stretch.  That's 6-3 the rest of the way.  

I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out with no AR, opposing D's would stack the box with 8 possibly even 9 and dare MM to throw with Wallace.

 

That's where things would get interesting. Wallace (assuming JJ comes back now) with Nelson, Jones, and Boykin. Then eventually Cobb.

 

He'd face teams in Falcons, Vikings, Giants, Steelers. Combined 7-26.

ICYMI: Panthers, Foles, Mike McCoy, and the easiest schedules of the second half to come:

 

the Packers have the league's seventh-easiest schedule, including their game against the Bears tonight. Seattle (ninth) and Indianapolis (10th) also have it easier moving forward.

Saddle up, Kemosabe.  With possibly not much to hope for between now and February, I don't have much else to do but rump-hump the asswipe responsible for this.

 

Gonna be a bumpy ride for you.
