Sean from Baltimore, MD Packers have lost six NFC title games dating back to 1995 (right?). Is that an NFL record for conference title games lost? It's the most since '95 yes, but not the most since the 1970 league merger. Since '70, if my impromptu research is accurate, San Francisco has...

Donald from Fayetteville, NC Does J.J. Watt qualify as Spoff's big missed news or is that too many degrees of Packers separation to count? If the "big news" results in me grabbing the Advil, then it counts…and I made two trips to the medicine cabinet on Friday. Gary from Davenport, IA...

Mike from White House, TN The Bears just hired Mike Pettine as their senior defensive advisor. In cases like this who has the upper hand, Pettine knowing what the weaknesses of the Packers' offense or LaFleur knowing Pettine's defensive tendencies? Neither. I think these things are...

Nicholas from Baltimore, MD I've often wondered what makes a special-teams unit good? Like what traits are they looking for? Seems like it's a weird position of motivating backups to stay hungry and get down the field, but are coaches just kind of stuck with the players not good enough to...

Nick from Quebec City, Canada Can you tell me the year when the Packers' offices were moved from the Washington Street location on the east side of town to Lambeau Field? I'm talking about the two-story offices that had a beige brick design and were located on the north end of the stadium...

Bret from Hertel, WI Dear Mike and Wes, thanks again for your awesome reporting and your team providing the best media in the NFL! This season saw many players improve: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Rashan Gary, Darnell Savage, and Robert Tonyan. How important do others need to improve with a...

Jon from Monument, CO I was a bit shocked at the Joe Barry hire, but I'm hopeful he'll be a great DC for the Packers. I think many of us don't know a lot about him. That being said, what can fans expect/look forward to from Coach Barry? I've heard nothing but good things from people outside...

Ralph from Mönchengladbach, Germany After watching the SB, Tampa won the same way it won against us – Dominant and relentless line play on both sides of the ball. They went all in mentally and that's the only all in that really counts. The Bucs were dialed in. They looked at home. Well, they...

There was a lot on the line when the Packers traveled down to Soldier Field for their regular-season finale against the Chicago Bears. Green Bay was looking to claim the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs for the first time in nine years, while Rodgers looked to put the finishing touches on an MVP...
