They have a very good defense, but the injuries have been
unsettling. I'd have given them as good a shot this year as any
team when they were healthy. Now it's a deal of they're doing
well, but when will the next axe fall?? Who's going down next?

I am not sold on their defense. They have given up way too many
points to acclaim their defense good.

That would make sense given "luck of the Irish" and all that.
However, you look at that pass td in the ala miss game and
realize that other teams are lucky too. Hope the domers do well
and the cubs and
the Bears but am not going to put much stock in it.

Records With and Without A Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers Edition
by CHASE STUART on DECEMBER 14, 2013
Green Bay started the season 5-2 and seemed on its way to
another playoff berth. But in the first quarter of the team’s
eighth game, Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone. The Packers
lost that game (technically on Rodgers’ ledger as the starter),
and have struggled ever since. In his stead, Seneca Wallace went
0-1, Scott Tolzien went 0-1-1, and then Matt Flynn got a chance
to lose on Thanksgiving against the Lions before salvaging a win
against the Falcons last Sunday.
Unsurprisingly, Green Bay is much worse without Rodgers. Using
his .625 winning percentage as a starter this year, we might
presume that the Packers would have won 3.125 out of the team’s
five games that he’s missed. Instead, Green Bay has won 1.5 out
of five games; that means Rodgers would have provided 1.625 Wins
Above the Other QBs on the roster. (If we did not count the
Bears game as a Rodgers game, then Rodgers would have provided
2.79 Wins Above the Other QBs.) Rodgers has been ruled out for
the Packers’ pivotal week 15 showdown with the Cowboys; a loss
there would bring Rodgers’ value up to 2.25 Wins Above the Other
Green Bay QBs.
Where does that rank all time? The biggest discrepancy belongs
to the 2002 Rams. The Rams started 0-4 under reigning NFL AP MVP
Kurt Warner, and then lost the team’s next game when Jamie
Martin started in relief of an injured Warner. For the sixth
game, the team turned to Marc Bulger, who led the 0-5 team on a
five game winning streak before suffering a finger injury just
as the starting quarterback was ready to return. Warner started
games 11 and 12, but another injury forced Martin started game
13; St. Louis lost all three games. Bulger then returned and won
his 14th start. At that point in the year, St. Louis was 6-0
under Bulger and 0-8 under everyone else. In game 15 against
Seattle, Bulger was hurt on the St. Louis’ fourth play from
scrimmage; Martin came in and the team lost 30-10. The final
game of the year was a meaningless one and started by Scott
Covington, although Martin took most of the snaps in a victory
over the 49ers.
All told, St. Louis went 6-1 in Bulger starts (including the
Seahawks game), while the other Rams quarterbacks posted a 1-8
record. Since we would project a 1-8 team to win just 0.78 out
of 7 games, Bulger is given credit for being 5.22 Wins Above the
Other QBs for the team.
The table below shows all quarterbacks from 1950 to 2013 to
produce at least 2 Wins Above the Other QBs for their team. The
formula to calculate WAOQBs is simply the difference between the
winning percentages with and without the starting quarterback
multiplied by the number of starts by the quarterback or by the
other quarterbacks on the team, whichever number is smaller.

A couple of things for context.
1) Seneca Wallace sucked and was out of GB after the season.
2) Scott Tolzien was out of football when GB picked him up. He
was not ready to be inserted as starter and it showed. Since
then GB's coaching staff has coached him up and in 2015 had a
very good preseason.
3) Matt Flynn benefited greatly from the coaching up at GB.
Both of our backup QB's could step in today and produce better
results than the back up status in 2013.

While ND has been successful I haven't been satisfied they are
unbeatable. To me they have been very "lucky".
