With the new overtime rule, where both teams get a chance to score, do you think we’ll see more ties this year?

Hey guys, I just rewatched the Browns and Cowboys blocked kicks, and I’m no ball coach, but in both instances, including some other kicks I watched that didn’t get blocked, there was at least one guy not moving with the snap (Tucker Kraft) or lunging forward with nobody to block (right guard). I can’t image they’re coached that way, so what’s the issue? How realistic is it to have your starters play significant snaps on ST on top of offense, rather than playing the backups that continue to struggle?

It’s never one thing, but right now it’s too many things for the Packers’ operation. Green Bay has a reliable kicker again but needs to support him both on field goals and returns.

The league has a special-teams problem that is negatively impacting the game as a whole. It’s not just the long field goals, but the changes to kickoffs seem to have made it easier for teams to start drives at the 35-plus. The art of the long drive is fading. It used to feel like getting the ball while trailing with less than two minutes was an uphill climb. All too frequently, now, it feels like a race to get the last possession.

Were any DPI penalties called in Dallas? I know I saw at least three that were pretty obvious, making contact and “face-guarding” without looking for the ball. Any comment?

I get what you’re saying and your assertion is valid, but I’m OK with no DPI on the Dontayvion Wicks play because that’s how Ron Torbert’s crew officiated the entire game. As long as the referees keep a level playing field, I’m fine with swallowing the whistle. It would’ve been an unpopular call either way.

I assumed in the first three games the defense had a great blend of talent and scheme. Then (Sunday) night it seemed we had neither. So, is the line between what we saw the first three games on defense and last night really that thin?

I implore some of you to watch more than just Packers games. How many caught the Giants and Chargers on Sunday? It is not easy for any team to go into another team’s stadium and win. You gotta be on your stuff to come out of road environments with a W and so far Green Bay has fallen short of the mark. The Packers are back home after the bye and must make certain they improve to 3-0 at Lambeau. The defense will be fine.

Not a loss, not a win, not sure how I’m going to handle the sports media buzz the next two weeks. Hats off to Jordan Love for a pretty impressive game. How valuable is McManus? Micah came through with a critical sack at the end…it seemed like he was fired up after the long completion to Turpin on the sideline. I wonder if he will play with more fire now that Jerry Jones said Dak is indispensable and Micah is not!

That’s all water under the bridge now, at least for me. The Packers could play Dallas again in four months or another four years. Micah Parsons is a member of the Green Bay Packers and they’re happy he’s here. The end.

Even though I knew it was coming, it was a jolt to my system seeing Clark in a Dallas uniform. Did you catch up with him?

Our paths never crossed unfortunately. By the time Clark came out, I was already doing pregame radio in the press box. I am proud to announce I changed my fantasy team name to the “Dallas Clarks,” though. I’ll catch Kenny down the road.

Normally I’m bummed during a bye week. If we win the week prior, I like to keep the momentum going. If we lose, I want to get the bad taste out of my mouth. But this year, I could use a week to recover from this emotional roller coaster that’s making my head spin and turning my stomach inside out!

You’re not the only one. I am fried.

My wife showed me this yesterday and made me laugh. A Packers tie is like a dry wedding in Wisconsin. Technically it’s a party but nobody’s happy. It’s healthy to laugh. GPG!

Thank you for that, Mrs. Mark from Big Bear City.
