If Clay is doubtful, I’d call the Packers chances against the G-men doubtful.

Get well soon Clay.
============================
Oh, I don’t know, the rookie, Dezman Moses, had 2 sacks, a knockdown, and caused a fumble in his first start (in Matthews place). He destroyed the Lion’s left tackle and put him on the bench after 186 straight starts. I’ll try to stay optimistic while hopefully the Giants (and you) think they’re home free!

Dom Capers for coordinator of the year?
Dude doesn’t have his four starting linebackers – his most experianced DB misses a ton of games – his NT(raji) and best DE (worthy) miss several games – etc.

Rest of the crew are young 1st/2nd year players …idk. just throwing it out there that I’m impressed with the job he’s done so far this season.

A non-division game is not as important as the stretch of divisions games that are coming up. The easiest way to get into the playoffs is the division title. Sorry Giant fan but the upcoming games versus the Viking x2, Bears and Lions is a bigger key to the playoffs than the Giants.

Excuse # 1 when the Pack loses the game will be we didn’t have Clay big mouth Matthews…

The pack is a bunch of whiny little babies the are beyond annoying.

Get ready for the beat down losers.

I’ve been counting this game as a loss for a long time, Clay being out adds to it.

I think the team will play well but come up short. I hope I’m wrong, but I think the loss will galvanize the team and then they’ll end up winning it all.

Yes, I’m a homer.

Normally, I’d say rest the guy. However, if there ever was a game that the Pack need most and would be least likely to win without Clay, this would be it. Eli is a machine if he gets time. The Pack can probably outscore every other team they play here on out.

You know you’re a good team when despite having a skeleton crew and playing like garbage you’re still winning games. Could you imagine if they start to get healthy and play to their potential?

I won’t blame anyone for picking the Giants over GB in a tough road game.

Especially 2 players that have been considered for Defensive Players of the Year recently.

I think if the Bengals can hang with the Giants, the Packers can to, especially since GB seems to play to the level of the competitiont his season.

As long as the Packers seem to be well-positioned for a playoff spot, why risk getting Matthews and Jennings hurt and lost for the rest of the year? If the Pack keeps winning, ease them back in for the last 2-3 games and then the playoffs. Having a couple of studs like that with fresh legs when the dance starts would be huge.
Tough break for Shields. He was playing pretty well, but with other young guys gaining experience and also performing well, it’s going to be hard for him to get back on the field. Love having the “problem” of too many capable DBs though.

Rest him if not 100%. Need him for the playoffs.

We had 5 sacks without him, and if would be great to have him but better to have him for the long haul. (Ie Jennings)
