Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 699742">The Packers entered the Cowboys game with Lacy being questionable after being limited in practice all week and Ripkowski, who at that point had touched the ball three times in his NFL career. That is far from being ideal but plain and simple stupid.Thompson should have promoted Don Jackson from the practice squad before that game and put Shields on injured reserve, a move that happened only two days after losing to the Cowboys.Nobody is expecting Thompson to know about injuries in advance but it's his job to address positions in need of an upgrade once the depth chart is hit hard by players going down.Thompson gambled by going light at running back and inside linebacker on the 53. Once injuries hit those positions standing pat wasn't the way to go.The cornerback position is a different story as everyone expected the position to be a strength entering this season and there was sufficient depth on the roster. Unfortunately it didn't work out for several reasons but Thompson's lack of activity to make a move has left the Packers with a glaring weekness entering the playoffs. I don't understand any Packers fan disagreeing with that.</blockquote>
