If any head coach in the league had performance results similar to what Al Riveron produced last year, how loud the wolves and how quickly the dismissal. Food for thought.
Preaching to the choir on this one.

Aside from Rodgers and Crosby, are there any Packer players from Super Bowl XLV still playing?
For the Packers? Bryan Bulaga and Tramon Williams.

Sunflower seeds or peanuts?
In the stands, definitely peanuts, as long as my son isn’t with me (he’s allergic). In the dugout, seeds.

II, can a challenge flag be thrown and then picked up if the coach gets better information before the ref asks him what he is challenging? Like how the refs can throw the penalty flag then pick it up after consulting with each other.
Not that I know of. Tossing the red flag in effect calls a timeout. If the official were to allow the coach to pick up his red flag and not challenge the play, I think he’d still charge him with a timeout.

With as deep as this draft is rumored to be, do you anticipate that the rookie of the year awards are going to have a lot of competition? Or do you think there will be a few that rise to the top as is usually the case in most years?
There probably will be a few that rise above, but this draft strikes me as one with a lot of rookies who are going to play right away. They’ll still have to prove themselves, though.

"Over time we’ll get clarity." Really Spoff? When has that ever happened?
I thought we were getting clarity on the catch rule after a handful of years, until Dean Blandino left.

In regards to Dan's question about scoring plays being reviewed and the possibility of a pick play causing PI, can a coach ask that something be looked at on the automatic review?
He can try to drop a hint, but I’m not sure how much good it’d do.

Did you see the 49ers auctioned off a couple seats in their draft war room for charity? I warned my wife to watch our life savings if the Packers ever did this! Oh, to be a fly on the wall...priceless.
I’m quite certain your life savings is safe.

Will the pack pick at No. 12 or trade up/down? Will they go offense or defense? And don't answer "best available" BS.
If you think BA is BS, I can’t help you.

With the new PI challenge rules, who is watching what to notify the coach to challenge? The coaching staff all have their own players and areas to concentrate on. Do you foresee teams adding a "TV monitor" position to their coaching staffs whose sole duty is to concentrate on the TV views and replays to help the coach make the call?
There is one member of the coaching or support staff in the booth upstairs whose primary game-day duty is to do just that.

How do you see the WR positions playing out, particularly in the slot? And do think Moore can make the jump to being a solid contributor this year?
At this point, I can see the Packers trying various guys in the slot until someone emerges with the right chemistry with Rodgers in that position. I’d put Allison as the leading candidate right now in the early stages. Moore can make the jump, but others are going to keep improving as well. It’ll be competitive for playing time.

Hi guys, my first question ever but I was really wondering about this year’s draft. I totally agree that many mock drafts see us picking a TE at No. 12, but there seems a lot of "experts" thinking that we should go with WR with the second pick. In my mind this is the one skill position we have enough depth on the roster. Should we not try to move up a little bit to get a really impact player on defense? What are your thoughts on our picks and/or about trading eventually up on the board?
There’s enough depth at wide receiver, but if another Nelson or Adams is there in the second round you don’t pass him up just to add another defender. You want playmakers, not just players. Rank them, see where they fall. I’m generally not in favor of trading up, but going in with 10 picks it’s a more viable option and I’m not ruling it out.

When there are NFC Championship-quality teams everywhere you turn like the Saints, Rams, Bears, Eagles to name a few, why do we as fans get excited about this consistently underperforming team? The glass isn't half full...even with the Amos and Smiths FA signings, the upcoming draft with all the early picks and having Aaron Rodgers, I see no way to even win the division in the next five years. It's over.
April Fool's! Good morning! Hope is a good thing!
Make it a great Monday.
