When the question was posed regarding holding Henry to under 100 yards, I laughed thinking we'd be lucky to keep him under 150. What an impressive defensive performance. Was this the first complete game from the Pack?
The kicking game left a bit to be desired, if we're being fussy. But for only five of Henry's 23 carries to go for more than five yards – and three of those five coming when the score was 33-14 – is tone-setting run defense.

Kudos for the job that the defense did to contain Derrick Henry. However, it appears that the best way to stop Henry is to have your offense score a boatload of points.
It helps the cause. It's a team game.

If say Trubisky were to get hot and lead his team to the NFC Championship, do you think the Bears should keep him? I think years of evidence should not be overturned by one hot stretch, but I can imagine it would be a tough decision for a GM.
The Bears aren't even in the playoffs yet and you've already got them winning at least two playoff games. Slow down.
Paul from De Pere, WI
Still some cleaning up to do, but that was the most consistent performance of the season so far. If three or four calls change (offsides on blocked FG, hands to the face, Jones out of bounds) this could have been a different game.
Agreed. The Packers made two of those breaks really count.
Paul from Lincoln, NE
With Krys Barnes in the traditional ILB role, Christian Kirksey seemed to have his best game this season.
I noticed last week Kirksey seemed to be more impactful playing fewer total snaps, and that held true again.

Question: Regarding your favourite Christmas songs, one of you said "Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24" and the other said Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Carol of the Bells." Aren't those the same song?
Indubitably.

Scary Ninja has to go on the plaque with Yellow Weasel and New York Bozo. Where do these audible names come from? Who comes up with the names?
There's a suggestion box outside LaFleur's office. Or not. I have no idea.

Third-and-10 with 4:02 left in the game. That one play should solidify Rodgers as MVP and Davante Adams as Offensive Player of the Year.
It's worth considering, though I could see Henry rushing for 200 next week vs. Houston to clinch a division title and win OPOY in the process. I do think Rodgers locked down the MVP last night.

How can we win the No. 1 seed?
Just beat the Bears, or have the 49ers beat the Seahawks.
Mark from Bettendorf, IA
Could the same defensive strategy work against the Bears? Put the game in Trubisky's hands?
The root of Chicago's late-season offensive surge is the running game, particularly Montgomery. The defensive game plan starts there.
Daniel from Los Angeles, CA
During the halftime show, the presenter said if we tied with a 12-4 record with Seattle and the Saints, the Saints will get the No. 1 seed. But we would get the No. 1 seed if we only tied with the Saints at 12-4. This made absolutely zero sense to me...care to elaborate?
In a two-way tie with New Orleans, Green Bay's head-to-head win is the tiebreaker. In a three-way tie with New Orleans and Seattle, head-to-head doesn't apply and the Saints would get the top seed with the best conference record of the three. To fend off the next question, in a two-way tie with Seattle, the Seahawks get it due to the common-games tiebreaker.

If your brains aren't drained, please explain the NFC East playoff picture.
Ha. It's actually not that difficult. If Washington wins, it's the division champ. If Washington loses, the Cowboys-Giants winner takes the division. I correctly predicted late Sunday afternoon the Washington-Philly game would be next Sunday's prime-timer, because it became the only one with a win-to-get-in scenario (albeit for only one team) regardless of any other results.
