If you say Nelson is “not even the best on the team,” I assume you’re referring to Jennings. But Jennings is not currently “on” the team, and may not be again for some long time. Before Nelson went down, he was having a season so spectacular as to rank him at the very top of the NFL receivers, if not THE top. But it’s only one guy’s opinion, and it wouldn’t surprise me if others differ.

We should be getting alot of these guys back and if we can aviod further injuries, I like our chances of making a deep run in the playoffs

I’ll watch Packers games that I recorded and let the real team take a week off. I gotta think Perry, Shields, Worthy, Kuhn & Nelson should all be ready to go in two weeks. That would get us rollin in the right direction for the rest of the season!

We are so injury depleted we are indeed playing the jayvee squad. Result? We weren’t really a better football team than last week’s opponent or this week’s either. Absolutely hate seeing Nelson out again; when healthy, he may be the NFL’s best receiver. Tougher games ahead after the bye. I don’t know how we can expect to compete with so many starters on the shelf.

The Packers have now added at least Jerel Worthy to their list of OUT players, and perhaps Jerron McMillian as well.

The one week rest for the Packers is no magical elixir and doesn’t guarantee that ANY of these guys will be back immediately afterwards. Remember, none of these guys- Shields, Perry, Nelson, Kuhn- have even made one practice since their injury.

We already know Jennings and Woodson won’t be back until weeks later. Whether the Packers are still in a good position when those guys get back is a question that remains to be answered.

The Cardinals might be more banged up than the Packers, at least on offense, but their defense appears to be getting healthier. And it is a better outfit than the Jaguars have.

This is another good test for Aaron Rodgers, to see if he can get this offense to overcome its issues and execute. WIth all the injuries on defense, the Cardinals WILL score some points.
