Gentlemen, that game went from “Holy (moly) where’s the Tylenol” to some Marty Schottenheimer- type “gleams.” I felt Matthew Golden had a much larger impact on the proceedings than his stat line would suggest, for example. Looking forward to Thursday, which team has the tougher task in recovery/preparation in your view?

Golden came up big for Green Bay’s offense, especially on those gotta-have-’em plays. The fact the Packers are hosting maybe swings the pendulum slightly in their favor, but the Falcons also appear to be getting Michael Penix back.

The new O-lineman, formerly a starter in Cincinnati, has at least experience. Maybe give him a shot.

Depending on the availability of Aaron Banks and Donovan Jennings, John Williams and Travis Glover will need to be ready on Thursday night. They’re the next (line)men up.

Hey Wes, at risk of sounding like a whiner, do you feel like there are certain teams that are given a bit more latitude in terms of penalties based on their reputation as a team? I have played and coached at the high school and small college level, so I like to think that is not true, but I have seen some really ticky-tacky calls this year while similar things are not called on our opponents. I don’t think it’s done purposefully, more like a subliminal thing.

I see the argument for Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes getting a little preferential treatment as the faces of the NFL, but the stats are what they are. Nobody has had more accepted penalties against them over the first two weeks than the Packers (26 for 231). They gotta do something about that.

End of regulation, two seconds on the clock, why not try the long FG? Seems like a higher chance of success than the Hail Mary, and it doesn’t come with the risk of your QB getting injured behind his Swiss-cheese offensive line. Afraid of a block and return?

Well, who do you think blocks on field goals? What’s more, you’re telling me you wanted the Packers to attempt the longest field goal in NFL history in the rain while three offensive linemen are unavailable. Bold strategy, Chili.

Hey Wes, was there any mention after the game on choice of running backs during the game? All three had some good moments. Kaleb Johnson was impressive to me. Did MarShawn Lloyd get a seat after the fumble? Thoughts on the running game?

The running game did just enough to relieve Jordan Love’s burden, but the Packers still need more. Introducing Johnson to the offense was a nice wrinkle, though.

Was there any explanation on why the Jets decided to take the ball in OT? Wouldn’t you want to put your defense out first to see what your approach should be when your offense takes the ball? Packers stop the Jets and Packers knew all they needed was a field goal, which seemed to be a huge advantage. Even in the Chiefs vs. Colts game Patrick Mahomes was trying to convince the Colts to take the ball first in OT. What am I missing?

I wondered that, too, but as Spoff astutely pointed out to me in the press box, Aaron Glenn might have wanted to give his defense a breather after how regulation ended. I was more confused about why the Jets let Green Bay run out the clock at the end of regulation, which allowed the Packers to attempt a Hail Mary without any consequences besides a possible return for a TD.

I thought the two pass interference calls drawn by Matthew Golden by launching back into the defender were very notable. In the past four to six years, Packers receivers just kept running with the chance the defender could come up with the catch. Great improvement in the Packers’ receiving corps!

Not an inconsequential moment. Golden showed focus and physicality fighting to make a play and ultimately causing the referee to throw the flag.

Who would have thought Minnesota would be leading the division this week? But for the Packers, other than needing better O-line play and discipline, the big thing I noticed this year vs. last year is they need to be better on third down.

That is a big one. Green Bay currently sits last in third-down conversions at 19.1%. That’s part execution and part penalties.

Good morning gentlemen, I was at the game yesterday and there was a lot of Green and Gold under those ponchos. My favorite part was the Jets fans booing the “Go Pack Go” chants, making it just a little harder on their offense. I guess we will have to wait and see what this team looks like after wildly different performances Week 1 and Week 2. But it’s better than if we had had either of them two weeks in a row.

In pro wrestling, that’s called “Getting heat.”

Good morning Wes, would you please share the name of your friend’s New York restaurant? Packer Nation might want to enjoy a good meal while trying to see a Packers employee celebrity at a nearby table!

Via Della Pace in the East Village. My favorite restaurant on this planet and why New York is my favorite NFL road trip. If you ever go, tell Giovanni that Wes sent you.

On all the people who want Love to show more emotions, I don’t get it. My Danish dad was always cool, calm and collected. He never yelled at me about any of my multiple screwups, but his look of disappointment was devastating and motivating. Infinitely more than the bosses who thought yelling was effective. The only time I remember my dad raising his voice was when his mother came to visit on a football Sunday. She was prattling on when he yelled, “Shut up, the game is on.”

Let me get this straight. For years, fans said Rodgers showed too much emotion. Now, Love doesn’t show enough. I don’t know what to tell you, Goldilocks, other than the chef offers his commiserations for the temperature of the porridge.

The Packers were the first team to win a game with less than 200 total yards on offense, over 100 yards in penalties, and a negative turnover margin. Let’s not push our luck again. Is it October yet?

Hopefully, that superlative stays on a 107-year rotation. Have a good Tuesday.
