Packers Tie Vikings!

OK, the good news first!  The Pack is only 1/2 game out of first!
Bad, news, the Packers could be in first!

Matt Flynn comes in for Tolzien?  Blame - Ted Thompson, he did not calculate the back up QB situation very well!
Flynn did rally the troops, but we need Rogers back!

Lacy run for over 100 yards again.  We are running the ball, but with a dangerous passing game, we would be OK!
Miss, Finley & Cobb!  The next man up sounds good, but they are the next man for a reason!  Boykin is proving himself!

Defense, Capers must go!  We have had injuries, but is the system the problem, or again is it Thompson, the defensive
backs are not making plays!  We miss Collins & Woodson!  The safety position is REALLY week!  Sheilds did not 
play - HAMSTRING!  We seem to have corners - Williams, Sheilds, House, Hayward, Hyde - WHEN HEALTHY!

Missed Jolly today, he did not play!  To stop the run, Jolly must be important!  With Matthews back the sacks are coming, but need more from the D-line!

The original roster had 53 players - only 21 have played all 11 games!  The Pack, with different injuries every week, cannot get a rhythm!
Especially now that we have a QB rotation - starters Rogers - then Wallace, then Tolzien, then Flynn!  I think it is time to call Favre!

5 games left - Lions - Falcons - Cowboys - Steelers - Bears!  Can we build momentum?  I think Rogers must play!  It has been 20 days
since the injury - that will 23 days to the Lions game!  Collarbone, 4-6 weeks, 28-42 days.
