[QUOTE="TJV, post: 624195, member: 4300"] But we only have that perspective in hindsight. In 2010 the Packers ended the year with 16 players on IR. 12 starters missed something like 86 games that season. Finley’s loss was very important: He had a breakout season in 2009 and caught 6 passes for 159 yards in the playoff loss to the Cardinals. The Packers had geared the passing attack around him for the 2010 season. He had two 100 yard games in the first three games of 2010 and then suffered a season-ending injury in game four. Losing Ryan Grant in week 1 shouldn’t be downplayed. The Packers running attack was crap until the emergence of the rookie Starks who hadn’t played his last year in college. He was anything but a certainty and he wasn’t even in the conversation after the first game of the season as the 6th rounder was on the PUP list. He played his first NFL game the first week of December (he had last played a competitive game in a bowl game nearly two years previous - January, 2009). Those two losses to the offense were huge when they happened. Nick Barnett was lost for the season. Like all players he had his faults but Packers fans don’t need a lesson in how important inside LBs are. Morgan Burnett started the year at safety and was lost after the fourth game. Their replacements did well but that was anything but certain at the time their injuries occurred. And imagine being the STs coordinator with all those missed games. Obviously we can all sit back and say no injury that year was fatal to the Packers title chances. And of course we don't know how injuries will effect this year's team. But just because the 2010 team overcame all those injuries doesn't mean this team will overcome whatever injuries it incurs. ... Or that it won't. ;) [/QUOTE]
