With the speed that Watson and Matthew Golden have on the outside to take the top off the defense, shouldn’t that open up opportunities for other receivers running underneath and crossing routes? Is it because the other receivers can’t create separation or because the OL cannot protect long enough for those to develop?

Great question. I need to take a look at this on film when I have the chance. I will say, in a game with only eight possessions, four touchdowns isn’t bad. It’s just that the other four drives were all punts, with three of them totaling just 10 plays and one first down.

I know there were a number of people that questioned the Packers extending Christian Watson before he was reactivated, but what a difference maker he is. Those were big-time contested catches. He just brings an element the Packers need. Makes the organization look pretty smart!

Watson absolutely came through when the offense needed him. I’d call that his best all-around and most impactful game since the three-TD coming-out party against Dallas his rookie year.

A win is a win. With Josh Jacobs maybe being sidelined is there any chance we may see MarShawn Lloyd any time soon?

I’m sure they want to get Lloyd back in practice as soon as possible, but he won’t be out there until he’s ready, and I would imagine he’s going to need multiple weeks of practice before he plays in a game.

Just out of curiosity, does the recovery of the strip-sack in the end count as a takeaway?

Yes. Parsons gets credit for a sack and forced fumble, Rashan Gary for a recovery.

New play for the Packers. Pull the half of the offensive line that’s away from the hole. Get in b-e-h-i-n-d the RB. Everyone push for five seconds. Everyone else joins in. Push and/or pile on for five more seconds. Or more. Works like a charm.

I’m getting viscerally ill this is now such a key component of pro football. Please make it stop.

I have a question about coaching strategy. Say the Packers have been struggling offensively the past two games which they have, does Matt LaFleur ever consult with the other head coach like Nick Sirianni or Vic Fangio to get an idea about what they see on tape to make corrections after the game to get clear what the opposing coaches are seeing, or does that not happen?

You’re asking if one opponent would help out another after beating them? I’ve got three answers there: No, (heck) no, and absolutely freaking not.

Excellent answer to Mic from AZ. I can’t believe all the crap you and Mike have to read. I don’t know a lot about football but I learn something every day when I read your articles. Keep up the terrific work you do. GPG

You picked a fine time to write in, Lucille.

An old friend used to say … well, he said a lot of things, but a few things he said was “Don’t apologize for a win,” “Winning the division is the easiest path to the playoffs,” and “The season doesn’t start until Thanksgiving.” I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say the Packers’ season starts now – the division games are here, and it’s (dang) near Thanksgiving.

Three in a row in the NFC North, two at home. It’s about to get really real.

We are now 10 games into the season. Wouldn’t you say the toughest team the Packers have faced so far is themselves? We shoot ourselves in the foot so many times it’s unreal. It seems that whatever could go wrong has gone wrong. We were very lucky to beat NY. But, I’m confident (hoping) their best games are in front of them. GPG!

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Happy Monday.
