I know it shocking to loose Aaron Rodgers and it messes with the game plan. But MM utterly failed to set up Hundley for success and put himself at risk of lossing both QBs. I've been worried about when he would revert back to McStubborn and he picked a terrible time. I just hope we get the McCarthy who game planned for Flynn against New England next week instead of McStubborn.

Putting all the injuries aside, this was the WORST crew of officials I have seen in my 50 years of watching Packer football. And besides that, one of if not the worst displays of tackling I can remember from a Packer Defense. Somebody please post the number of misses tackles today, I am just stunned.

As I said during the game thread - the one thing GB couldn't have happen - happened.

Game over man - game over!

Brutal...just brutal.

Season isn't over. It just feels like it is.

It's hard to protect Rodgers from what appeared to be a late hit by Barr. The refs had no interest in protecting Rodgers, either. They could at least have thrown a flag. If this were Brady, instead of Rodgers, I feel Barr would have been ejected.

Can't wait to get that 1st rd pick for Hundley.
Looks ready and primed to_______.
Callahan to the rescue in 1..2...weeks.
: )

I only disagree with one point Zachary. Why run the ball, when your team is missing its best run blockers, playing with 2nd and 3rd string Olineman, and going against one of the top front 7 in the league?

I hope the coaches (and TT) recognize it's time for ALL to step-up. All is not lost, but attention to detail is required.
I am fed-up with Bennett's lack of focus & predictable play calls by the offense. Overshadowed, was some exceptional early play by Kenny Clark & Martinez.

Flat! Ugly. Capers plan just isn't working. Injured lineman only get your QB hurt. Picking on anyone after this game is not going to help. Sorry, but the goal line stance missed Guion. The depth is still missing.

Turn out the lights the party is over.

What's up with these season ending projections for Rodgers' injury. Unless my math is wrong we have 9 weeks left of the season. And having had 3 broken collarbones and Rodgers previous I'm pretty familiar with the recovery time that's about 6 weeks give or take. That should give him 2 games or so left. Or is it bad enough to keep him out longer? With the line in shambles though I'm not sure we'll be able to tread water anyway. Hope they pull it together some how.

Kaepernick, anyone?

Now we'll see if what I've maintained for the last several years is ture. The Packers are a 2-14, 4-12 team without Aaron Rodgers.
Even if we didn't have ALL these damn injuries, the ONLY ONE who can overcome McCarthy and Capers coaching is Aaron Rodgers.

WHEN will the Packers change out this trainers staff. WAY to many soft issue injuries on this team. After 5 or 6 years of the same ole crap SOMETHING needs to change.

I miss Josh Sitton and TJ Lang, Casey Hayward too. I'll bet John Dorsey wouldn't have let ALL 3 walk.

Ted PLEASE retired NOW and take McCarthy with you. That play calling after Rodgers was injured was atrocious.

Thanks for an UNBELIEVABLE 5 games Rodgers. Now to the draft.

The season is not lost. Give the coaches a week to game plan with Hundley. Let's see what they come up with. You maybe surprised. Coming into a game with little or no reps is not a fair measure of what he can do. Injuries to the O line are more of a concern . It would be helpful if Bennett could catch the ball and block a db on a blitz. We are 4 and 2 and tied for first place. We have time to adjust.

It's bad enough Rodgers is out. But throw in both tackles, starting guard, half the secondary - who else did I miss?

It might be just too much to ask, but I'd like to see Hundley kick some ass.

I think the Mayo Clinic needs to do an in-depth study on the Green Bay Packers propensity to incur such a copious amount of injures each season geez this sucks!

The Packers were down to zero healthy reserves at OL at the end of the game. While many may want to blank out the end of the NFC CG game last year, we saw them forced to use a DL on the OL due to injury. They were either out or close to being out of having enough DBs, today.

I don't want to see LBs manned up on WRs, lumbering TEs trying to shake nimble DBs or linemen on the opposite side of the ball for which they are trained. It's just not entertaining. As I type, I'm watching NASCAR at Talladega (which I hate) and it seems like a nice analogy...a contest that is not decided by which team is the best but by which team can avoid catastrophe that is no fault of their own.

It's not just the Packers and it seems to be happening more frequently than in years past.

This is a legitimate problem that the league must address. I have no idea how. But I think a meaningful expansion of both the regular roster and gameday roster would seem to be a nice first step, along with opening up IR rules to be in line with other leagues, where it is used as a temporary parking spot for injured players. They have to do something to stop the comments like "Does (team X) have enough players at (position Y) to finish the game?"

My first impression is that I will have more time to spend with my grandchildren for the upcoming 11 Sundays remaining in the NFL season.
Not including the injury to Aaron Rodgers I have never seen a team absorb as many injuries as the Packers have and now with Rodgers gone I'm not even sure the Packers can field a team for next week's game.
Those of you who are blaming Capers defense remember that Hundley through 2 picks that resulted in 10 points for the Vikings. Which means the defense could have held the Vikings to 13 points. The Packers would have been held to 0 without the fumble recovery and return by CM3 and without the pick by Randall.
It doesn't seem fair to blame the coaches when you lose your starting QB, and 3 OLs plus losing 2 more CBs during the game after coming into the game without a starting CB and safety. The OL became a complete shambles during the game and we were lucky that Hundley was not injured as well.
As for going forward Hundley will get better with a full week of practice and then go into the bye with more time and reps. However, unless the OL heals up it may not matter. Our secondary needs to heal up as well.
The season is not over by any means but nothing is certain for now and may not be for quite a while.
Thanks, Since '61

I guess Gunter will be back if he hadn't been signed , also I say it's Hundley's team now let's give him a good weeks practice. Thanks

The Packers have lost 8 starters, twice as much as any other team. Someone has to look in the mirror.

What will our Packers do with a top 15 draft pick next year?
What a long off season this will be. The creative writing classes will pay off big time for the next 10 months.

This offensive line was a ticking timebomb on Rodgers' health, but surprisingly, I wouldn't blame the OL on the play he got injured.

I think the season is over because Hundley is not going to be able to cover for lack of defense and bad coaching. What can you do with a coach that that has 3 backup OL and backup QB, but refuses to help that situation much. It was a jailbreak on Hundley. From here on out, given the OL health, teams are going to blitz like crazy. Heck, they don't even really need to blitz. I kind of doubt Hunley makes it through the season too.

I have always thought MM is just beneficiary of Rodgers, and now he gets to prove me wrong. This team had issues stopping the Vikings, and it's going to get ugly against the Saints next week without Rodgers scoring on +75% of the possessions.

Let the in season development of Hundley begin. My first instinct is to let it all fly and see what he can do but that requires having enough capable healthy players to keep him from getting killed. Could things be any worse? I don't think so. Can't even shift my attention to the defense improving, because they are hurting too. Let's see what MM can do with this mess.

1) Officiating....helmet to helmet on a defenseless player. Should have been an ejection of Treadwell. I also counted 6 non call holdings ...Martinez and Clay were being held all game long. 1 of 2 PI's was not a PI. The non catch that was ruled a catch when Theilands elbow was out of bounds was ridiculous.

2) McCarthy ...you have a green QB and a bunch of tight ends... For the love of God why would you not use a double tight end set??

3) Yes, other teams have Injuries, lose a QB etc.. But other teams can at least run the ball and field an adequate defense. Rodgers does in fact cover inadequacies.

4)The last time this happened, Lacy still ran the ball well with crap QB play from Tolzien. If we had good to great RB's our corners wouldn't be on the field as much. McCarthy and Thompson had to have known there was a GLARING need for a true RB. I could be wrong, Ive been wrong before.

5) Ive said this before but I believe a 4-3 cover 2 or a 4-3 in general would make Green Bay less injurie prone. Asking corners to rush lineman and fill gaps to tackle RBs when they are built for running stride for stride with WRs is asking too much. Yes of course it's football and that's their job but instead of an occasional task, in Capers system it's an every down affair. I don't like the way he runs a 3-4.

I did not read your comments.

I just want to congratulate to those "doom's day" Packers fans.

You may enjoy now. Your predictions come to light. Thank you for putting so much bad energy and fear in the life, so life just turn back that miserable feelings to you.

Also, I want to thank you for ruining my enjoyment of watching the best ever QB.

I'm still with Packers. I will lose my nervs and I will be sad after many games, but I will cheer for Packers and organization no matter what.

I hope D will finally come to life in the next few games. I believe Packers have excellent players and they will keep Packers in the battle for postseason...

So, 70% of you, thank you once more...

double post

I think the NFL is going to have to change the rule about a QB being a free target when out of pocket. Most get out of pocket a lot, specially newer, younger QBs.

I think the NFL will see AR's hit as a $$$ problem when viewership by casual fans of Packer's games drops off because the star is out of game.

AR is out of pocket, throws the ball, LB sees that and knows technically he doesn't have to avert hit or slow down with his hit. Lowers his head and plants his helmet on AR's shoulder and drives his helmet to the ground crushing a shoulder.
Think about it, a 220 lb guy helplessly stationery getting hit by a 260 lb guy running 20 mph. That's as bad as being hit by a pickup truck moving 20 mph.

Yesterday was a crappy day for me; bad knee was swollen, bad back was inflamed, bad shoulder was screaming, but at least I could watch my beloved Packers (well, stream it since F%%*&#%g Fox TV wasn't showing the game in Arizona). Then my worst nightmare happened and AR went down. I'm beyond bummed, but I will still watch my beloved Packers and maybe good things will happen. It's life. Sometimes things don't go the way you want and you just have to "adjust" to the situation. I will be rooting for Hundley to do well. I'll still be excited for game day. Go Pack Go!
