According to Vaughn McClure, Zack Bowman was entirely healthy Sunday night and doesn’t seem to have any idea why he didn’t play down the stretch.  About the only positive thing that came out of the last two minutes at Lambeau Field is the fact that the entire organization should now be able to move beyond the Nathan Vasher reclamation project.  They should start the healing process Sunday or face the prospect of a Santonio Holmes choreographed dance number in the Soldier Field end zone.
