The Packers are going to run out of players at the rate they are getting injured.

Aaron Rodgers update (kinda, more speculation to try and get me to not worry):
Mike McCarthy says there has not been an official diagnosis and more tests need to be run. This, though, would ultimately rule out a broken collarbone, since a x-ray (which was done in the locker room) would have shown the injury right away. Now McCarthy might have just been keeping it hush-hush, but if he's telling the truth, then this is somewhat a sense of optimism (though it could go the other way). Two reports came out during the 3rd quarter saying that he broke/fractured his collarbone, and one report said that he probably had an AC something, and he wouldn't miss time. Although no information was released during the game, so I don't know how they came to these conclusions. I hate the wait-and-see game.

In need of a QB, and I don't know which one to go with, so I figured id get your takes on it. Which QB out of these should I go with?
Eli Manning, Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger, Nick Foles, Case Keenum or Mike Glennon? Those are the best QB options I have. I'm leaning towards Cutler right now.

Depends if Cutler plays. I think he is the best option if healthy.

Rodgers out with broken collarbone, which is a pain to heal in full. He's going to be out awhile unless he comes back not 100% which after their backups putrid performance last night he going to have to. Look for the Bears to take over the division with the Packers stinking up the joint until Rodgers returns.
Jimmy Thick- My guess, Rodgers out 5 weeks at least.

If this was last season I would agree with you. But with our running game (which is looking like the best in the league right now) I think we have a shot against the Eagles, Giants, and Vikings. If he only misses three weeks, which is what initial reports are suggesting, then I think there is still hope for the Packers to win the division. Plus, I can't imagine Seneca Wallace not improving since he will have almost a full week to prepare as starter (since he has gotten very few reps in practice according to McCarthy). The NFC North race has gotten interesting in the past 24 hours, though, I will not lie.

Definately one of the more interesting divisions this year. Minus the Vikings all the teams have a shot at the playoffs in that division
In other Packers news, Jermichael Finley was placed on IR (along with a backup linebacker), and OT Derek Sherrod has been activated from the PUP list. Sherrod hasn't played since 2011 against the Chiefs where he suffered a broken leg that required multiple surgeries.

Good news for Gary Kubiak. He was released from the hospital today after suffering a transient ischemic attack or TIA.
From ESPN: "It occurs when blood flow to the brain is briefly interrupted, typically by a blood clot or narrowed blood vessels. TIAs are often called mini-strokes and can cause stroke-like symptoms including sudden dizziness, numbness, vision loss or unconsciousness, though symptoms last only a few minutes or a few hours and no permanent brain damage occurs. TIAs are often warning signs for a future stroke."

I don't think so. The Packers have Scott Tolzien on the practice squad, and they really like him and view him as they viewed Flynn a couple years ago. It could happen though, but my guess is not - unless Wallace gets injured, then it would be much more likely. Also, Wallace has been in a west coast offense his entire career, and that's what we run, so I think Wallace just needs some reps and he will improve hopefully. Can't replace Rodgers, though.

Hey, the Cleveland Browns won! Just shows how bad Weeden really is. Any QB can run this offense, just not him.
