Dallas is getting Dalton back for the Minnesota game which should help their chances. How much will Mike McCarthy's familiarity with Minnesota be an asset?
Anytime you have a familiarity with a defense like Zimmer's, it'll help. They're really good at disguising stuff and knowing that going in, and potentially getting a veteran QB back to face it, will be big for Dallas.
I was really impressed by AR's comments on how having a role increases buy-in, and can inspire performance beyond expectations. I don't see him wanting to coach after playing, but I think he could be a good one. He already is part owner of a pro sports franchise...any chance he will ever get involved in leading from the front offices of a team?
I don't know about that, if by front office you mean GM and building rosters and such. I could see him going further with the ownership thing, though.
What if anything has AR said about his thought process on the interception on Sunday?
He said on the McAfee show yesterday he was looking to Equanimeous St. Brown first and when he came back to MVS on the cross, he didn't see the defender undercutting the route.
Are the Bears going to need to go out and find another quarterback?
It sounds like they're confident Foles will be OK after the bye week, if that's what you mean. I don't think Trubisky is out for the season, either, with the shoulder.
Of all the players currently on the roster, who do you think are best placed to get the players more energized or do you think this problem is more for the coaches to resolve?
It's on the players. I believe they'll get it figured out.
With all the injuries every team has to deal with, are you surprised Clay Mathews career seems to have come to an end?
I'm surprised he's not playing somewhere this year, but I don't blame him for not playing if he's not interested in playing for the league minimum. Maybe that's all he's been offered, I don't know.
It looked like Davante landed pretty hard with all his weight coming down on his elbow/shoulder on that TD catch last week....hopefully all is well for him now that Lazard is back.
That was pretty amazing he could jump that high to haul in that TD on the bad ankle.
Are you feeling good about our prospects in this game?
The Packers are plenty capable of winning this game. They'll have to play their most complete game of the season in all three phases to do it, and that's a mark they haven't hit yet, which is OK. It's still November.
It's not just a week to week league for teams, but for players too. A few weeks ago, Russell Wilson was the unanimous MVP, and 2 losses and 7 turnovers later he's not! Let the games play out and enjoy watching!
Exactly. So much can change.
It seems simple, but the thing I miss most this season is the fun, dual, locker room interviews with the Smith Brothers. That 5-10 minutes of fun and candor always made my week!
There are a lot of things with the media coverage that we all miss this year, but we just have to make the best of it.
While the Packers control their own destiny that doesn't guarantee they'll win every remaining game. So, for this week, Go Falcons, Go Cardinals, Go Rams, Go Cowboys, and, as always, GO PACK GO!
When we get to December, I'll see about bringing back Path to the Playoffs.
When Hicks pulled up lame with a hamstring Monday night, you could see the holes begin to open for the Vikings run game. That could be huge for GB in 2 weeks...in my opinion, he and Cook may be the 2 most important divisional players we face
Yeah, Hicks is a stud. The bye week is at the right time for him.
Having a baby boy and new Packer fan any day now, any advice?
Congratulations in advance, and I'll just say what my father said to me when our first child was on the way: Trust your instincts. With that I'm going to sign off, folks. Thanks for all the participation today. You guys kept the questions coming fast and furious. Enjoy the game Sunday and we'll talk again next week. Take care, Mike
