There have been a lot of parallels drawn between this team and previous Packer teams that won the Super Bowl (third-year starting QB, 27 years old, etc.). Here is another one (sorta). The 2010 team never trailed by more than a one-possession score. This year’s defense has only spent 59 seconds on the field while trailing by more than one possession. The three drives the offense has had when trailing by two scores resulted in FG, missed FG, TD.
It’s a good observation. What’s more, the defense has had the benefit of playing with a lead during most of this four-game win streak. That’s a massive advantage for any defense and allows Jeff Hafley to tweak his schematic arithmetic.

Good morning all! Jaquan Brisker spoke about the fans and players being quieter than usual in the Bear game. What was your perspective on crowd noise from the booth? I know section 120 “brought the noise.” I went to sleep with ringing ears from the constant noise from the row behind me. GPG!
Brisker must not have been listening when Wright’s hold of Parsons ran on repeat on the Lambeau Field videoboards. I completely disagree with Brisker. I thought the Lambeau crowd was great on Sunday, one of the best all season.

With Philip Rivers returning to the NFL with the Colts, one has to wonder if the phone was ringing in Green Bay asking about Malik Willis.
We’re past the trading deadline now. The Colts’ only options were to sign a “street” free agent, pull a player from another team’s practice squad or coax someone out of retirement like they did with Rivers.
There’s are a couple “trap games” coming up this weekend. The Bears are upset about their last game and looking forward to the next game. Browns win. Also, the Seahawks will be upset by ole man Rivers.
The Colts haven’t named a starting QB yet, though Riley Leonard (knee) is practicing this week. As far as the Browns are concerned, here’s hoping Myles Garrett finds his way to Caleb Williams, and Shedeur Sanders can keep rolling after an eye-opening performance vs. Tennessee.
Are you curious to see if Collin Oliver gets activated and gets to make a role in an odd front alongside Parsons?
We’ll have to see. A few years back, the Packers opened the 21-day windows on Patrick Taylor and Jonathan Ford to get them practice time but didn’t activate them to the 53.

In a billion-dollar business, you get fined for throwing a $100 football into the stands. Why are they so cheap that they won’t allow them into the stands?
It’s a safety issue. The NFL doesn’t want to get sued.

We did it, folks! “The Dan Patrick Show” was discussing the merits of laser goal posts today. Only a matter of time…
One small step for Inbox, One Lambeau Leap for football.
I agree with Spoff that 11 wins puts this team in the playoffs, but the mentality in the locker room must be that 12 wins gets them a home playoff game. They need three of the next four. Mile High goals.
