What makes this year’s special teams better? I feel like there are less penalties.
Penalties are down, JK Scott is punting well and coverage has been solid. I think the Packers are just playing good, fundamentally sound football in the third phase.

If you saw the Denver game last Sunday the No. 72 should ring loud as this poor guy was flagged numerous times for holding. Time for the Smith Brothers to do their thing! I assume that MP will game plan around a potential weak link?
I’m not sure what’s going on with Garret Bolles but the stats are what they are – he’s been flagged for holding five times in two games. It’s not like he’s some undrafted plug-in, though. Bolles has a few pelts on the walls. He’s a two-year starting left tackle and a former first-round pick for the Broncos. Regardless of how Bolles is playing, the Packers still want to keep the pressure coming with Za’Darius and Preston.

II – Packers beat the Broncos if:
The offensive line keeps Miller and Chubb at bay and the Packers’ defense forces another takeaway or two.

So guys, how much longer can we continue to get these great waiver claims until our undefeated record removes all chance?
This is the last week. It shifts to current standings after Week 3.

II: Raven Greene added to an IR list that already includes Jace Sternberger, E.Q. St. Brown, Jason Spriggs, and Curtis Bolton. I really wish more than two could be designated to return. Maybe they'll modify that. The (partially) silver lining is that there are quality players at many positions available to return when (not if) the injury bug bites over the next 6-8 weeks.
Only two of those players – Greene and Sternberger – are eligible to return this season, though. Two others on the physically unable to perform list, Ibraheim Campbell and Greg Roberts, are eligible to practice and play after the Lions game.

Wes, a comment, not a question. I have a Canadian friend who is a Ravens fan. We talk NFL constantly, comparing team notes along with general NFL news banter. I sent him a link to your Mitchell Henry story and video. His comment back to me was, "This should be mandatory viewing for all NFL players. That would hopefully prevent situations like Antonio Brown, Melvin Gordon, and many others." Thanks for creating and publishing meaningful content on a continual basis.
Thanks, David. I quickly wanted to congratulate Madison and the rest of the Henry family on Mitchell being inducted into the Elizabethtown High School Hall of Fame last weekend. What a tremendous honor for all of them.

My husband had a liver transplant last week and was in ICU Sunday. The game was supposed to be televised down here in Lions territory, but FOX showed “Animal Planet” or something instead. I stood by my honey’s bed, sharing my phone with him as I watched on NFL Mobile, and cheered very quietly. The win was a super bright spot in my week!
All the best to you both, Judy. I’m glad you guys were able to watch the game.
Steve from Rockville, MD
Will Rodgers get the franchise tag on him if he opts out when his contract is up?
Let’s put a pin in this one for, I don’t know, five years?
Dave from Lake Mills, WI
First, what did you do, Spoff, to have Wes go back to calling you Michael? He was calling you Mike for a few weeks. Wes hardly seems like an arbitrary person, there has to be some reason. Second, any insight as to why the Chiefs let go of Tremon Smith? When Tyreek Hill says the kid has wheels, that means something. Any idea how the Packers plan on using him?
Michael is two syllables, so it gives me an extra second to collect my thoughts. I’m not sure what played into KC letting Smith go other than it needed a spot for Byron Pringle, but Smith was one of the league’s best kickoff returners a year ago. He’ll have a chance to make an immediate impact on special teams.

This secondary market comment made me want to share my story. Being a Packers fan originally from Austria, I met a girl from Wisconsin in summer 2016. We kept in touch and when she got secondary market tickets for the Seahawks game I decided to take her up on the invitation and booked a flight. Three years and three trips to Lambeau Field later we are happily married and looking forward to going to the Raiders game in October. Fair to say, the secondary market changed my life.
Wow. That kind of puts my story of meeting my wife on a class trip to Germany to shame.
Dan from Kenosha, WI
Insiders, Kenny Clark now has two more holding calls than any other defensive lineman in the history of football.
I’m going to try to ask him about that this week and see if he’s been given any explanation. I’m curious.
Arthur from Altoona, WI
While watching the video of the team in the locker room after the game, I noticed a guy behind coach without a shirt on looking like, instead of a six-pack, he had a 12-pack. Would that fellow be Dan Vitale by any chance?
Yes, it was. The biggest biceps this side of the Fox River.
John from Fitchburg, WI
Just read the mid-week chat. I really had to smile at Mike's response to the question, "Wheat Thins or Triscuits?” "It depends on the cheese" is so accurate, and SO Wisconsin! Well done, sir!
Triscuits. I don’t eat cheese.
