Look what someone just wrote on the Patriots forum I go on (it wasn`t me obv.

rlAaron Rodgers is definately out on Sundayrl

I`m a bit dissapointed to be honest, Rodgers is a great QB and I would have liked to see how our D coped against him, playing against QB like him can only make them better but the Packers have made the right decision, its no good him making his injury situation any worse.

Gutted Rodgers is out because we will get hammered. We only had a slim chance of the win if he played anyway.

If we manage to make the play-offs with so many injuries will be a great season, although i don't think we'll do much IF we did make it. We have over 10 on IR, alot who were starters, and are down to our 3rd LOLB this week, amongst others.

For us to make the play-offs we need a few helping hands given us/NY/Phi/Chi all play each other and are fighting for 2 or 3 spots.

Assuming we lose this week.
We need Philly to win out (beating NY this week).
We then need to win out (NY and Chicago).
The Bears to go 2-1 (losing to us).
The Giants 1-2 (losing to us and Philly)
The Final week we need Tampa to lose to New Orleans.

There are a few ways of us making it in but that seems the most realistic and most possible.

Just playing around on that ESPN play-off machine to work this out if NY beat Philly this week they are 2nd seed and us out. Can't believe how close this play-off race is.

I also have the 49ers in the play-offs at 7-9.

Bradford has suprised me how quick he has adapted but i still think Clausen will be very good long term- whether with the Panthers or elsewhere.'" No running game? www.panthers.com/team/statistics.html They're averaging about 4.5 yards a pop between their three running backs. With regards to the reciever situation, I'd take Steve Smith over any of the players Bradford & McCoy have to throw to.

As much as it pains me to say it, I think you have done remarkably well this season, those couple of games early in the season when Rogers choked are really hurting you at the moment. I'm guessing you'll be going RB in the draft.

Can't wait for tonight - massive game against the Chiefs. Win it and we should make the playoffs. We deserve it anyway.

Tebow apparently starting for the Broncos against Oakland tonight. Think I'll watch that one, interesting to see how he does

We'll hammer the Donkeys.

At the minute, we're one of only 3 teams in the NFL to be 4-0 in their division.

Massive game for the Colts tonight!

The more I think about it, the less I think we're going to win the game.

We're soft against the run and I can't see any way we can stop Jones-Drew and Jennings rushing, not to mention Garrard out of the pocket.

We might have a chance if we can turn it into a shoot out and stop the turnovers but not confident.

Even if Cassell plays there's no way he'll be 100%. They've been trying to teach him to throw without using his upper body which surely can't be that effective!

But Stewart has been injured and shared/shares time with Williams and Goodman. 1 TD and 7 int's is shocking.

Why thank you Mark!(Rodgers hasn't choked though)

I wouldn't go RB straight away. We have very good starters at virtually every position it is just injuries which have decimated us. We just need depth. Personally i'd take a OLB to partner The Claymaker or trade for/take a lineman to protect Rodgers. Those really are the only two positions we need to upgrade. If neither are available at our spot then i'd take BPA. Whether that is a WR to replace Driver eventually, a RB to go with Grant, or a top QB to backup Rodgers.
