getting healthy is how we won in 2010. we got healthy late and we were hot. we have not been healthy for the better part of 5 years whether it be rodgers hobbling around, at least one olinemen, cobbs shoulder, jordy's knees and the secondary has been by far the worse, they're a joke mentally and physically, whoever is coaching those kids is a god damn joke.


Not sure if you were watching the correct team that year? Look up the injuries for that year going into the playofss...they were anything but healthy. They were hot, but certainly not healthy. For example, http://bleacherreport.com/articles/599611-green-bay-despite-injuries-and-setbacks-packers-are-champs
Another decent article: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/600941-green-bay-packers-most-heroic-super-bowl-champion-ever mainly reading this excerpt

"Green Bay lost the fourth-most games to Opening Day starters in NFL history at 91, winning four more games than any of the other three teams. But that only tells half the story.

There were 16 players on injured reserve at the end of the season. Eleven of them were on the defensive side of the ball, where the Packers still finished in the top-five in total yards, passing yards, sacks and points allowed.

Some of those injuries came to players who stepped up to take the place of the injured starters, meaning the player relied on each Sunday was the third-string player. Howard Green, cut by the New York Jets, filled in for the Packers; Erik Walden, cut by the 7-9 Miami Dolphins mid-season, was a starter for nearly three months.

and later in the article....

But the injuries were to continue. Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Woodson went down with a broken collarbone before the end of the first half, standout nickel corner Sam Shields was out for almost a full quarter with injury, and Packers all-time leading receiver Donald Driver missed more than a half with a severe ankle sprain."

Thats a ton of injuries buddy.

Looking at tickets for the Packers/Lions game @ Ford Field on New Years Eve, looking to around $65-70 a piece for okay seats, but wife has never been to a game so figured this would be something to do plus Drew might be going as well so a Jsp meetup

Comes out to like 130ish. Which is fine for me, although I'll probably need body armor being in Detroit and all.

Drewgod and Santora will protect you. The browns and GB play on my birthday and my best friend and I were thinking of driving to Cleveland because tickets are so cheap. Gas and tolls will be more than the tickets for the game

Rofl, Cleveland is another option too because they'll be dirt cheap and getting that OT in as much as possible anyways.
