Let's hope they keep losing so they keep him out. I'm not scared of gb but you're a fool of you're one of those tough guys that says you hope he plays so gb fans can't make an excuse

I don't care what GB fans say.

I do care about not having the opportunity to toughen the team up with a win against a good team before the playoffs.

You know they have not done that in a while... I think that would be a good thing.

Let me answer that with a NO.

Now, let me just straight up ask this. Is Rodger only 4 pts better than any of those backups?

A healthy Rodgers? Absolutely not. We all know that. But a guy who is more than likely rushing it back to try and sneak in the playoffs? A guy who will be playing gingerly and not be able to make all the same plays? Yea, that's about right, he's not going to be much better than that.

And you still didn't answer any of the questions. How many points do they score with him, and without him?

Rodgers isnt going to be out there if he is still gimped.
I didnt answer your question because I dont know the answer. Unlike yourself I dont own a crystal ball.

Ill take a blind stab at it.
Healthy Rodgers- 35
Random backup- 17

With your logic I hope he doesn't play. But, let's look at a few numbers. Our defense gives up over 25 points a game. We gave up 24 points to a horrible Oakland QB that I still don't know the name of. We gave up 27 Points to Christian Freekin Ponder. We have given up 20+ points in 9 games this season, and 30+ points in 5 games.

With that being said, we have played better defensively the last two games, but still allowed more that 20 points in both of those games.

Honestly, I dont think that Oaklands QB is "horrible" and he made some very nice plays.

Its probably not just my "logic" and I really dont see how a bigger difference can be made in that particular game than the effect of Rodgers starting.

I hate this.

First of all it's impossible to not care at all about something you're posting about. Literally impossible.

And because I could care less about something doesn't mean I care a lot about said thing.

I could care less if you disregard this lesson I just taught you....but not by much.

Uh, so what's your point? Is it "couldn't care less" or "could care less."

The accurate phrase is "couldn't care less." The phrase suggests that you're at the very bottom of your apathy and there's no room to go.

What part of "not that healthy" is hard to understand? You are putting way to much in an unhealthy Rogers stock. Do you look at numbers? GB is giving up almost 30 points and 400+ a game in the last 6 games. Rogers doesn't play defense.... Lee playing is HUGE, because Lacy will KILL us if he's out.

They will NOT play Rodgers if hes not healthy. They arent going to risk it. Did he break in a couple years ago against Dallas for the first time?

I agree Lee will be huge.

I think Rodgers being out was basically the straw that broke the Packers back. With their LT (Bulaga) on IR, Cobb on IR, Finley on IR they were basically getting by on fumes. Assuming they lose to Atlanta this coming week I'd expect they IR Rodgers for the year, call 2013 a Mulligan, and play out the rest of the season hoping for a good draft pick.

You need to get facts right. They gave up 17 to an Oakland qb who has played well, and 23 to Ponder.

Rogers with 1 freaking arm is better than any other QB on the Packer's roster.....................if he doesnt play against us that is huge...........probable loss becomes a probable win.

Considering the Foles has turned into Joe Montana Jr (19 TDs 0 Ints).............we need all the help we can get right now.

Oakland's running game is statistically as good as the Packers and the Cowboys held them in check.

And it's impossible to be at the "bottom of one's apathy" on a subject they are actively engaged in a dialogue over.

Look up what apathy means.
