They are going to let his broken collarbone heal on its own. "If we had to do something later on we could, but we’re not even going to chance it at this point." That's what I had expected, but it's

This is not new territory, but it's been a few weeks since I've posted something like this about the Green Bay Packers. It's probably worth while from time-to-time as opinions change over the next couple months. And as players rise and fall on draft boards ... It's gotten my attention again after Pete Doughtery wrote a draft needs article at the Press-Gazette.

There were a lot of pivotal plays made during the 2010 season for the Green Bay Packers. Many of them could be looked back upon as the play of the year. For example, NT B.J. Raji's INT in the NFC Championship game was the difference against the Bears. Or when LB Clay Matthews forced a fumble from RB Rashard Mendenhall in the Super Bowl, and he changed the momentum of the game. ... But looking through this slideshow of 100 photos by Corey Wilson at the Press-Gazette, I'd have to go with the
