Cheese Curds: Green Bay Packers News and Links for October 27, 2015

As week eight approaches, week twelve is also in sight, and with it comes the Green Bay Packers' contest with the Chicago Bears that evening. One of the most exciting facets of that game, in addition to the opponent and Brett Favre's induction ceremony at halftime, is the possibility that all three legendary Packers quarterbacks will be able to take the field simultaneously.
