Oh gosh, another loss. This one puts us at 3-3. It was a virtual lock that every analyst said that the Pack would take the NFC by storm this year. They (the Pack) would win almost every game, and have their offensive and defensive units respectively be towards the top in the League.
Well its just about the end of week 6 and no one even believes we may make the playoffs. Injuries are the main concern with our starting running back, safety, tight end, right tackle, defensive end, outside linebacker and numerous other important positions derailed. I'm not upset but bitter at how unlucky we have gotten in the injury category. For the most part there is nothing you can do about injuries and all it takes is for a certain tweak here, or a simple hit there and you find your team in the medical room.
I feel Ted Thompson needs to make a deal by this tuesday (trade deadline). If we truly want to get back on track with our hopes of a deep playoff run, we need playmakers. Earlier today we dealt for a safety we cut last year (smooth) so that will help our depth in the secondary but more needs to be done. We really need to deal for a better version of what we have in the backfield, and possibly another defensive weapon we can pair with Clay Matthews when he comes back.
The vikings come to town next sunday night where the nation can watch the drama unfold for the second straight season when the drama queen himself - Brett Favre and the Vi-queens, I mean the Vikings, take on our home grown Pack. I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't nervous about the game and even saying we would win. It will be a important game don't get me wrong and it will be interesting how we handle both their potent offense and defense. Let's just not get our hopes up like we did before the season...
