Yup Shannon, this injury will likely have unforeseen ramifications on the playoffs. He injured the calf muscle in last week’s game, which explained the low score (20-3) over a team that should have been run out of the stadium.

That’s a real bummer about Aaron Rgers, Adee. They need this win more than ever now, to get the bye week.

Drove past our rain gauge on the way to check on the neighbor’s horses while they’re out of town. Gauge says 0.6″ and growing, and it’s still 40 with a steady breeze that has some teeth now.
Hope the Texans also have some teeth this afternoon.
