I’m not a person who goes to bars to watch Packers games. That’s not my scene. But for a fundraiser for my girlfriend’s family, there I stood in a bar when Aaron Rodgers went down with a potential season-ending collarbone injury. Last time, I was still living with my parents sitting with them on a Monday night wondering if things were okay. This time, the news was given swifty as Rodgers broke the collarbone of his throwing shoulder. A part of me is still stunned and in disbelief that this happen again and another season could be lost.

Comparing 2013 to 2017 might seem like apples to oranges, but this year felt special. Mike Daniels, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and others talked about how they wanted to get Rodgers another Super Bowl ring. And this team looked like one of the best teams in the NFC for the first six weeks of the season. If they won this game with a healthy Rodgers, Packers are likely the top team in the NFC. Instead, there are a team wondering how good Brett Hundley is and if Tony Romo should come out of retirement to play for his home state team.

Packers got through the hardest part of their schedule at 4-2. That’s pretty damn good. And if you look how the schedule sets up, things would have been pretty nice for Green Bay (More of this tomorrow). It’s frustrating to see a season that had so much promise vanish into thin air with one hit by Anthony Barr in the first quarter. Losing one of your favorite players to a long-term injury feels so goddamn unfair. Like why me? Why us as Packers fans? We get robbed of another year of potentially seeing this team play for the Super Bowl.

Next week is a new week though and all of Packers nation from the front office to the littlest fans must move on. This team is not dead yet, and they have a ton of grit. I still believe and I hope you do too.

Charlie.
