Packers: Green Bay claims running back Christine Michael off waivers

But the Packers need a warm body that can play running back, and taking a flier on Michael carries no risk.

“I think it’s ridiculous”, Rodgers said. Written by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the story probed the relationship between Rodgers and McCarthy, a relationship described as calamitous. Do you think the Washington Redskins or Green Bay Packers will win this week? The Packers quarterback has been criticized throughout his career for not taking enough of the blame, and those criticisms have come back around this season.

Michael’s track record doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence he’ll make an impact in Green Bay, including a notably well-traveled 2015 season. They will end up coming through with a close win over the Packers. It seems the chemistry is off. We have to respond better. But it’s been a hard lesson as the Packers have given up 111 points in the past three games.

“No one walks through the National Football League unscathed”, said Packers head coach Mike McCarthy. However they still have lost those games. However, many key players including G TJ Lang, OLB Clay Matthews, ILB Jake Ryan and TE Jared Cook are all questionable. The entire defensive chemistry is messed up without him on the field making plays. The Packers defense has only forced 5 fumbles and 7 interceptions.

In other words, everyone 25 and younger has had two losing seasons.

Rodgers also brushed off criticism of his leadership style, calling it “white noise” when the team is in a rough patch trying to get back on the winning track. That isn’t a guaranteed situation, but the Packers know that they can’t afford to struggle much longer. Lacy is on the injured reserve again and Starks has also been hurt. He might finally have a running back who can make that happen. He was drafted one pick after Green Bay took Lacy from Alabama. They hope to return to that form when they return to the nation’s capitol this weekend. He may be getting complacent thinking the season is already over, but it’s not. “You might go through a little adversity and then everybody’s blaming coach and doing all these things when you have to realize there’s a lot more to it”.

“My senior year of college is the most recent one”, Packers safety Micah Hyde said. Green Bay simply hasn’t looked like a team that can compete for a Super Bowl appearance. They’ve only missed the playoffs six times in that span (and four of them were the aforementioned seasons, and one was 1992).
