[QUOTE="Zero2Cool, post: 39056, member: 43"] If this was posted already, I apologize but found one comment to be interesting. [b]Overview[/b]: It's easy to point to injuries as the primary factor why a team that had won three straight division titles entering 2005 collapsed so abysmally this season. And there is plenty of evidence, notably on the offensive side, to justify that rationalization. But this is a team, with the departure of Sherman and the possible retirement of quarterback Brett Favre, that clearly is in flux. That's not to say there aren't some plusses: The fact the division isn't terribly strong, coffers deep enough to pay off the $6.4 million remaining on Sherman's contract, and the unparalleled fervor of Packers fans.
