Not sure how he comes back and plays against Chicago....and then doesn't start this Sunday against Minnesota. I think its just media-related melodrama. He didn't practice yesterday, but he's sore so they are resting him. And does he really need practice? Rest the guy again today, if I'm Green Bay.

I think he's playing.

Oh, he's definitely hurt. This is starting to go into tinfoil hat territory...

The reason he went back in was because the doctors said he couldn't make the knee injury worse by playing. His mobility and ability to step into his throws was extremely limited in the 2nd half. Do you really think he'd be hobbling and limping around just to fake an injury, Minny?

I'm sure the swelling and soreness increased after the game and the next day. How quickly that all goes away this week will probably determine if he can go or not... That's why McCarthy said coming back into the Bears game and playing this week are two completely different things.

One good thing is it has been mentioned that Zimmer ran too much of a vanilla offense against the 49ers. Do you think that might been intentional? Nothing are film for Green Bay to draw from to prepare defensively for us.

I don't know. Sounds reasonable but if true troublesome. If your playbook has so few wrinkles you need to hold back your good stuff for one week it could be a problem. I think Zimmer likes this offensive style. If true they were holding back. We are going to need to start showing our hand sooner or later. This week would be good.

Rap just reported he's got swelling and probably won't practice this week...I think he starts, is generally ineffective, and gets pulled like Bradford did vs Chicago last year...except, they have Kizer not Keenum waiting...

Being only the second game of the season, if Rodgers takes too many hits don't be surprised to see him pulled and sat...

I think the F'er will play and play the whole game.

Amazing how many fans get amnesia and forget how difficult road division games are - regardless of the season. Just look at the Vikings record @ Soldier Field the last few seasons. And how many of those were much better Viking teams on paper?

Nobody said it would be easy but you have to go through challenges to get to the big show.

Sore maybe Hurt no

He landed on his knee bent forward so it put a little scare into him and tears to all Packer fans. But he was fine and was stepping into his throws no problem by the end of the game. He would occasionally hop around after a throw for the melodrama which is very common with him so no tin foil needed on my end Smile

What he did right after the injury is different than what it's like a week later with swelling and stiffness setting in. I once snowboarded down a mountain with a broken ankle. A week later I couldn't walk. Not saying he won't play, just that it's a little different. Either way, Packers have their built in excuse.
