But once again, Parsons was NOT THE ONLY GUY THEY WERE MISSING BY THAT POINT!!

For that matter, he was NOT THE ONLY MAJOR PLAYER THAT WENT DOWN THAT GAME - They also lost their best OL for the rest of the season in that same game!!!

And yes, they were winning games before then (Denver game), but if you actually watched those games, you'd have realized that the ship was starting to take on water even before then. There were some pretty poor teams during that stretch just before the Denver game, that Green Bay barely squeaked by (Bengals, Cardinals, Giants), and also, they lost to Carolina. All WITH Parsons.

So, again, we're about to see what happens when Parsons is the only major player who is down with injury.

My bet: They'll do well enough to remain in contention, and then Parsons' return will provide just the boost a team needs to go into the playoff run. They might even win a wild card round playoff game. But, I don't think they've improved the overall team enough to do make a much deeper run than that...
