That pass rush of Davenport, Cam J, Peyton and Tanoh really needs to bring it with authority

Granderson is the guy that really steps forward this year...

Exactly. I think so, too.

That’s gonna be a tough out vs Green Bay.

With no league MVP Aaron Rodgers on our turf. They have obstacles, too.

I'm having serious concerns about the medical staff handling this issue. We're getting close to the one-year anniversary of this injury. How is a high-ankle sprain, even a bad one, taking on this big of a timetable?!

Remember he had surgery right after the Tampa game.

This is another surgery unfortunately.

If there was that much risk, he shouldn't have been cleared to play in the post-season. This has become a high-ankle injury with a Tommy John surgery time table. I don't know how this makes any sense. I fear whoever treated Thomas' ankle totally pooped the bed.

In other news, Dak is reportedly fully healthy, and that injury occurred at least a month after MT's. Go figure.

If I had to take a guess, Mike wanted to lay it all on the line for Drew, even while injured.

He said said that explicitly. He said the only reason he played through the injury was for Drew.

The hits just keep on coming. You definitely have to give Hill the nod. Winston won't have a chance without the #1 receiver.

Without our #1 receiver we need Hill at receiver more than ever. Why waste Winston on the bench doing nothing when he can be at QB and Hill out there catching balls, running the ball, making tackles, returning kicks, blocking, and coming in for the occasional wildcat. That would be the best use of our talent.
