Who in the hell are we kidding?
The Green Bay Packers, Mike McCarthy’s Green Bay Packers, are perennially one of the most injured teams in the NFL.
It’s where we got the “next man up” phrase from. Because McCarthy’s teams ALWAYS need the next man. The guy who was supposed to be the man is on frickin’ injured reserve!
This has been a constant in McCarthy’s tenure. Do you know how many guys were on IR when the Packers won the Super Bowl after the 2010 season?
Fifteen!
That’s nearly a third of the damn roster!
