commentary...

the main reason that the Packers did not go into free agency too deeply was that they have five players who have missed ten games to major injury,or more(Bryan Bulaga,DuJuan Harris,Jerel Worthy,Casey Hayward,and Randall Cobb),along with two major players,who missed five or more games(Aaron Rodgers,seven games,and Clay Matthews,who missed five games),coming back as healthy players... what position is most important on an offensive line??? left tackle,you say??? Bryan Bulaga started for the Packers in that position,in 2012... he missed all season with an injury... even though Eddie Lacy ran for 1,100 yards as a rookie,jitterbug DuJuan Harris was sorely missed(all season)... Jerel Worthy and Casey Hayward were part of the defensive scheme for the Packers,but they missed fourteen and thirteen games,respectively... Randall Cobb missed ten games due to a broken leg,and there went the long passing game... Aaron Rodgers went down to a broken clavicle,and missed seven games,and Clay Matthews missed five games,with a twice broken thumb... you put those players in the Packers' lineup,and they do not finish 8-7-1,and lose a playoff game to the San Francisco 49ers(perhaps),they finish much higher,in the NFL playoff race... the Packers showed real grit,and heart,as a team,last season,putting pressure on the hapless Chicago Bears,and the collapsing Detroit Lions,who beat the feckless Packers,40-10,Thanksgiving Day,and then did not win a game after that,by the Packers winning critical games,and having the Bears lose games,that basically they had a chance to put the Packers away... remember 54-11,to the Philadelphia Eagles,Chicago??? they then lost the NFC North Division crown to the Packers,33-28,on (my favorite play)"4th and eight",from Aaron Rodgers to Randall Cobb-a 48 yard beautiful pass play,for a touchdown,and the Bears' defensive backfield are still trying to catch Cobb,running into the end zone,at a stunned silent Soldier Field... i loved it then,and still love it,now,right,Chicago??? i could not help myself,in giving the city of Chicago the proverbial needle,could i...
