Well that was a fun game. Word on the street is if we can pull off a win against Pitt we'll get flexed into SNF against the Bears. It would certainly make for a heck of a game!

It's seems much like providence the way the Lion's lost to the Ravens and the improbable comeback against the cowboys how things are lining up for the Pack.Quote:

And I know people whine about the defense, but honestly, it's hard to have a good D when you're constantly defending short fields because of interception throwing or three-and-out behind practice squad, and repeatedly cut qb's. Even with a bad D, all you've got to do is outscore the other team...and with Rodgers in the backfield with Lacy, this seems like a reasonable plan.
Could it be 2010 all over again?
I'll say it right now....
Not gonna happen.
Most probably put the chances as better than not that the Pack won't even make the playoffs. But...Quote:

I personally believe the packers have roughly a 50/50 shot. If they make it, they'll definitely will be a darkhorse contender.
Personally I think it's just nice that a season I had more or less written off suddenly has reason again...and reason to be optimistic, even if they don't make it.
Right now, I think the NFC is wide open...Seattle hasn't convinced me that they're really all that legit. They've played some bad teams far closer than they should have (texas, titans, losing to the colts). I think Denver comes out of the AFC.
IF, and yes, it's a big IF, the pack make it to the playoffs, I have no reason to think "why not us?"
I'll start out by saying- Glad I'm not a Cowboys fan!
Beyond that, all the pieces are falling into place. If it happens, it happens. If not, it turned out a lot better than it could have with all the players on offense that are hurt.
I don't think that Rodgers goes this week, and I believe Cobb is even a stretch for the Bears game. Hopefully Flynn has a little left in the tank (arm), he'll need it Sunday. Steelers look to be trending up for sure, but had the Bengals not spotted them 21 points in the first quarter that would have been a heck of a game at the end. That's football though.
If Rodgers comes back for this week's game and or we win. We will go to the Superbowl and win, just like our 2010 season. That season we kinda sucked finished 10-6 but we got hot the last few games. The players were amped up after that win over the cowboys. We have the talented players and with Rogers back they will play like they were before he got injured. Matter of fact our D was ranked pretty high before AR injury. GO PACK!
Looks like Jolly just got put on IR along with Bostik. Both seemed to be coming along. Also lets not forget romo was out almost the entire season in I think 2010 with the same fractured colarbone injury.
It was a pinky on his throwing hand and thumb on his non-throwing hand.Quote:

"October 26, 2010 Romo suffered a fractured left clavicle in the second quarter of the Cowboys' 41-35 loss to the New York Giants at Cowboys Stadium."Quote:

Right now the word is Cobb is likely to play too, though I'd imagine that his playing time would be limited and it would basically be to get him out there and used to the speed of the game before potentially playing in the playoffs.
