With the Green Bay Packers struggling mightily over the past few weeks (and really, for over a full season now) and looking like they will continue to do so in the immediate future, it is understandable if fans want to look to the past to make them feel better. The team has decided to induct a pair of former players into the Packers Hall of Fame soon, and both are very deserving of the honor.
However, for younger fans, one name will stand out among the pair: that is wide receiver Donald Driver, who had a remarkable career after being drafted in the seventh round. Driver's infectious smile made him a fan favorite, as did his hard-nosed play on the field.
Congratulations to Donald and to Mark Lee, who will join him in the Hall. In today's Curds, we look at those two players while we try to distract ourselves from the fact that the current iteration of the team appears to be headed on a downward trajectory.

Ha Ha's response when asked how the team could not have learned from their previous two losses: "Um, that's definitely a great question." That really inspires confidence, doesn't it?

Believe it or not, a member of the Packers' secondary makes the team this week - it's LaDarius Gunter, who was targeted just twice and broke up two passes (one nullified by penalty).

Michael is now on waivers again. Ted Thompson - who reportedly was very interested in Michael leading up to the 2013 draft - could put in a claim, but he has had multiple opportunities to do so in the past and has passed them up.
