How to beat the Packers:
Injure Aaron Rodgers.
Repeat.

The team is weak all around. Sometimes Rodgers might be able to pull them out but you sure can't count on it.

If he's hurt for the season we need to move on from him

 

[Janesvilleaces]

What was kizer thinking...

 

[rmontro]

So.....are we missing Capers yet?

You mean that isn't him in that booth up there?

 

[Janesvilleaces]

McCarthy should have had Kiser run ball and gone to half down 10-0....

 

[Cheese Meister]

AARON!!!!!

 

[Janesvilleaces]

Too bad we had to stick Kiser out there for 2 drives to turn the ball over twice

 

[Jerellh528]

Defense is playing well now

 

[XPack]

Oh well!

Oh ****!

 

[Janesvilleaces]

Kiser pass hurts even more now

 

[Jerellh528]

We need pass rush

 

[elcid]

Sadly I can, I'm a packer fan and it cost us a super bowl. I'm enjoying the win, I don't need to revel in their misery

Well, do we move on from him? If he continues to play, whatever F'd up in that knee isn't going to heal.

Mebbe, mebbe no. Depends. If it's an MCL, he'll probably be fine, although it may take a while to mend. My strong hunch is that it is a grade 2, maybe Grade 3, MCL sprain. That would be consistent with the hit, his immediate reaction, the way he used his leg in the second half, and especially with the fact that they sent him back out again with at most a lightweight stability brace. When he first tested it, he looked as though it was slightly unstable, which suggests a torn ligament. If it was any ligament but an MCL or LCL (the one that Favre injured in 2002), I very much doubt they would have played him again, especially with such a minimal brace.

If it's an MCL or LCL, then yeah, you're right - he won't heal as fast, and playing the second half when it was still fresh didn't help any. But a lot of players play right through an MCL without ever missing a game - especially guys who aren't putting major torque on the knee with every play, like a WR, RB, or DB. Normal healing time for a Grade 2 is 2 to 4 weeks if you're resting it, Grade 3 is 4 to 8. Playing every week, he may have to wear a brace most of the season, although the bye a month from now will probably help.

It's football. When Favre hurt his knee, we all knew he was going to be out there every week and he'd be fine. Aaron's not the ironman Favre was, but he's still pretty damned tough. He'll be OK.

He'll be fine. My was a rhetorical question.
