Packers squeak by!

[Steve Foss]

Man, that was tough to watch. I spent most of the last half of the fourth quarter climbing the walls. Thank God it's still a big fat W, and against a division rival.

Tonight: Bears lose! Bears lose!

[walleyeking19]

It was ugly, but a win is a win. They need to trade for a running back. Lynch would be a big help. he played with Rodgers at Cal, so they probably have some chemistry already

[BrdHunter01]

Thanks to the refs.... Holding?

[snoozebutton]

Don't feel bad Fossman, I payed good money to go to the game but an ugly win is better than a nice looking loss. This team still hasn't played 4 good quarters of football yet but they'll need to next week against the Redskins.

[goblueM]

classic Lions... play good enough to win, but shoot themselves in the foot time and time again

maybe one day they'll actually put everything together for a whole game... and maybe even a few games in a row!

[fishersofmen]

Wow, the national media's super bowl pick to this point is very average. Basically got a beat down by the worst team in football. Good thing the refs missed Woodsons more than obvious hold on Detroits last offensive play or very well could have lost. Lost in every way but the score and thats all that matters.

Detriot had 24 1st dows and 430 yards and still found a way to lose. I am beginning to feel bad for this club.

It was an ugly game against a young and up and comming team. A win is a win in this day and age.

[SkunkedAgain]

The ray of sunshine is that the Packers, when faced with a chance to end the game, effectively ran the ball on the Lions thereby running out the clock and winning the game. They aren't many things that they are doing well, but at 3-1 they are doing well enough and my cheese brain makes me think that they'll start to peak around the right time.

[zepman]

Without a running game they'll never peak.

That encouraged me as well. Considering how little time the Lions D spent on the field, they were pretty fresh at the end of the game, and still we were able to make it happen when it counted the most. Barely!

Soooo much to work on. Sigh.

[SkunkedAgain]

Most teams (ahem, Vikings) would be happy to be 3-1 at this point in the season. We can all make Tim Brewster-esque excuses but all that matters is the win column. Are we meeting all of the sportswriter's hype, no. What matters to me is the potential and I see a lot of it on this team.

Bears lost! Bears lost!

not pretty at all but they won, they need to do something about the secondary its just bad, need Al Harris back to 100% now, is he back at week 6 or when?

Veteran safety Atari Bigby cannot return from the physically unable to perform list soon enough.

Bigby underwent ankle surgery in early August and will be eligible to come off PUP after Week 6. The Packers need him as coach Mike McCarthy announced at his press conference this afternoon that rookie safety Morgan Burnett, who has been starting, will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL suffered in Sunday’s 28-26 victory over the Detroit Lions.

Derrick Martin took Burnett’s place during the game but the Packers will surely want to turn to the experienced Bigby when he is able to get on the field. It’s a big blow for the Packers, who liked Burnett so much they traded up in the third round to draft him at a position that didn’t look like a big area of need.

[SkunkedAgain]

Martin will get picked apart by McNabb next week. I actually sorta like Charlie Peprah better but who knows if he'll be healthy in time. Two games is a long time for the Packers to wait to find out if Bigby is really back to health. We'll know real soon because the Packers will get a free agent safety if they have concerns about Bigby's ability to successfully come off the PUP list.

[CJH]

Gotta take the win. Not pretty but, considering they are banged up and far from playing good ball yet, it is what it is. MM's teams always seem to play average the first half of the year and then peak the second half. (7-1 last year).

Gotta love the power running with Kuhn at the end of the game. The run blocking has been mediocre at best, so that was good to see.

Losing Burnett hurts its a bummer for a good young player to have a serious injury like that. He was still pretty raw but doing fine for a rookie. I prefer Peprah to Martin, but not sure he is healthy enough to play yet. Bigby has been pretty average the last few years, so I don't really expect much, but if healthy he should be able to at least hold down the fort so Collins and Woodson can make plays.

[mrklean]

I would say the best stat so far Rodgers has only been sacked 5 times everyone thought the line would have more holes then swiss cheese but they have played pretty good

[Jim Uran]

They're not playing the best and they are winning, but they aren't as good as I thought they could be. Week 7 you shmucks will be crying in your cheese soup, I'll bet my precious little Avatar space on it!!!

[SkunkedAgain]

Sounds like the same purple wind that predicted a revenge win in Week 1 for the Vikings!

[mrklean]

Heard on ESPN this morning nick barnett done for season with wrist problem, this team is just falling apart one week at a time with injury

[SkunkedAgain]

- Morgan Burnett is out for the season

- Nick Barnett is likely out for the season, pending a second opinion, with the same wrist injury that took Urlacher out last season.

- Nick Collins has a sprained knee and may not be playing for a while

- Brandon Chillar might be done for the season, but his shoulder has a better recovery chance than Barnett's. He's also getting a second opinion

So in the span of about a week, the Packers lost both starting safeties, a starting linebacker, and their nickel linebacker who was also their top backup.

I feel like Cerrano at the end of Major League, when he says to Jobu, "If you no help me now....." If Ted Thompson doesn't make a free agent move now, then I'm officially off of his band wagon.

Typical Cheesehead fan... so quick to jump off the bandwagon

[mrklean]

Ryan grant out season

Morgan Burnett out season

Nick barnett maybe out season

Al Harrison miss first 6 games?

Bigby first 6 games maybe more

Collins hurt who knows

Chillar hurt who knows

Justin Harrell out season

and the list will only get longer and longer

[CJH]

Definitely a bad week of injuries. My expectations are lowered. They still have a shot making the playoffs, but the road got a lot harder.

Bummer of a week.

[fishersofmen]

Look at all you Cheese Heads already starting to make excuses. Injurys are a part of the game. Should be a cake walk for the Vikings to win the division once again even with the slow start. Look forward to another mooning from the Superfreak!!
