The Green Bay Packers appear to have their offense back on track. Their defense is playing pretty well. Mike McCarthy is back to calling plays again, which is what he’s best at.
Nothing can stop the Packers now!
You know, unless a virus was running rampant through the locker room.
Flu bug's been going around Packers locker room. Players. Coaches. Datone Jones had 100* fever vs. Cowboys, still played. Dehydrated, cramps

Well, that’s great for Datone Jones. They must have pumped him full of something to get him out there.
Not only did he play, he played more snaps than any other defensive lineman, with 36.
What did he do with those snaps? Well, that isn’t as impressive.
He didn’t do much of anything. Jones one item on the stat sheet was a pass defended.
We don’t really know what the takeaway should be here. You can go ahead and choose one of these below if you like.
- The Packers play guys who are sick (and ineffective) more snaps than they should.
- Guys can play even if they have the flu!
- We’re screwed!
- Pump them full of drugs!
- Datone Jones is not a good example of anything.
No one on the Packers is making excuses, but we doubt the flu is running through Oakland’s locker room.
I get sick to my stomach every week watching my favorite team, but do I give up? Hell no! I pound a 6 pack, choke down assorted cheese-filled delicacies, and scream at my tv until my throat bleeds. You gotta soldier on thru this season!
^This…is a Green Bay Packer fan.
Defense against germs wins championships. Wash your hands often.
McCarthy says the key to fighting fever is Pad Level.
Datone was on the Larry McCarren show Monday and looked fine to me.
LOL Feck
Plenty of great players have had fantastic games while under th inFLUence (herherher)-His Airness and Winslow senior come to mind. That said it’s pretty damn understandable if someone stinks up the joint when their head is on fire and their stomach is a microcosm of the Atlantic when three fronts collide.
