Costly Turnovers

The 2009 Packers were known for their league-leading turnover ratio.  The offense was careful with the ball, while the defense was forcing fumbles and picking off passes.

The 2010 Packers have been less effective, including two very costly turnovers in their loss to the Redskins last Sunday.  The final turnover (an interception) cost us the game.  The first turnover (a fumble) evidently cost of Jermichael Finley.  While the preliminary estimate was that Finley would be out 3-6 weeks, NFL.com is now reporting that our superstar tight end is likely out for the remainder of the season (Finley out for season). 

Move over, Nick Barnett.  Move over, Ryan Grant.  Another one bites the bench!

Not since the mid-90s has a Packer squad entered a regular season with such high hopes and hype.  And not since the Black Plague has such a significant percentage of a population gone down.
