The Packers were 31st in 2013 and 3rd in 2014. What a coincidence seeing that last season is when Mike McCarthy started utilizing some Sports Science and once again changed his practice habits. You need to give coach some more credit fans.

The odds we have great injury luck like last year isn't very encouraging. Still, it's considered great injury luck when your starting NT is lost for the season and your all world QB is hobbled for some games.

It isn't really the amount of injuries but how bad they are and to whom.

If we were 31 in '13 and 3rd in '14... Where we going to end up this season? I would guess middle of the pack. I'll guess we have a lot of tough luck injuries in the secondary this year.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Media and fans (justifiably) bitched and moaned about health. We then witness one of the healthiest years this team has seen in as long as we can recall.

It goes w/o saying that 1 year is a small sample size and it sucks when your MVP QB is hobbled...but we just had the 3rd healthiest team in all of football and we're finding ways to bitch about it?!?

They should keep it going but also put extra focus on certain players. Nick Perry for example. Casey Hayward.

Only a small handful of injuries actually deal in "luck." And GB's average injury history means much less because the injury program did a 360 in 2014.

70% of all MCL/ACL/PCL injuries are noncontact and some of the 30% of the contact injuries, contact was only a contributing factor or happened despite the injury that would have occurred with contact or not.

Walter Payton had instincts that allowed him to know when to plant, zig, zag, twist, curl up, lay out and/or leave his feet, etc. to avoid injury. Much of this was natural instinct; but it's an instinct that can be honed to a degree through muscle memory and alertness established during practice. EG, a lot of injuries occur when guys are standing around “the pile” with the awareness of a jamoch waiting for a bus. Then someone rolls off “the pile” or guy/guys playing "after the whistle" away from “the pile” but moving toward it careen into the back of the legs of the pile-watchers. Focusing on having your head on a swivel when standing around the Pile in practice will bear fruit during the game in reducing injury and this will have a cumulative affect year after year.

Hamstrings, other muscle or soft tissue injuries are overwhelmingly caused by a lack of discipline concerning nutrition; hydration; stretching; warming up/down and/or recognizing muscle fatigue and taking measures to reduce that fatigue.

The “Monday morning treatments;” the practice schedule; things like constant hydration testing [which serves to hold players accountable]; Mike McCarthy continuing to refine and develop good practice habits and muscle memory techniques designed to reduce the odds of injury; and guys like Hayward, who were resistant to change until witnessing last year’s results and today stand as determined to buy into the program; will keep GB’s 2010-2013 injury history in the past.

Injuries in the coming years will be much more like 2014, rather than 2010-13.

I don't buy it that luck has so little to do with it. Luck has virtually everything to do with injuries IMO. Unless somebody is doing something blatantly stupid, it's luck when an athletic 20-35 year old gets injured.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
