Henry getting to full speed

It's not easy to find positives from Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

Want one? Corner Anthony Henry says that he felt as close to full health as he has since suffering a high ankle sprain on Sept. 30. The first step was getting back on the field. Then, continuing to get healthy while playing. And finally, it was returning to a full-time role and feeling good doing it.

"That was the first time I was able to start and play healthy enough, at the intensity I’m used to playing," Henry said of the Eagle game. "My conditioning’s up."

Considering some of the uneven play the secondary -- which has two Pro Bowlers and an alternate -- has produced over the last three months, this would qualify as pretty good news. For the record, Eagles QB Donovan McNabb had just 208 yards passing, a 56.1 completion percentage and an anemic 5.1 yards per attempt against that now-healthier group.

When you get right down to it,

If the Boys cant beat a 6-8 team, with a rookie QB making his 2nd start, directing an offense that has averaged less than 16 points a game this year,

well, it it may not matter to the boys how cold it will be in Green Bay cause they probably want be there.
