One of the best things I learned from Vic first and both of you since is all we can do is watch. Game’s over, I move on…It’s hard to win in the NFL! Fans seem to forget that one of our previous Hall of Fame QBs is still the all-time interception leader and our other Hall of Fame QB wasn’t 100% perfect all the time and had his share of “earned” losses. Love leads the league in deep balls and is exciting to watch…So we need to sit back, watch and enjoy the ride.

That’s a nicer way of saying what I just said.

How is TK85 doing after playing through a bum knee in Week 3?

Tucker Kraft was limited on Wednesday with knee and elbow injuries but keeps chugging along. Kraft has shown time and time again that he’s gonna rub some dirt on it and keep going. He ain’t going down without a fight.

What are the keys to winning this weekend against the Cowboys?

Clean up the penalties and get after Dak Prescott, who’ll be without CeeDee Lamb. Offensively, the Packers need to get their foot on the gas. Dallas just conceded 385 yards and 31 points to Chicago. Score 20-plus points, win this game.

Teams so far have defended our run game pretty well. I think Josh Jacobs is a key player this week and he could really, finally go off. I would love to see us destroy Jerry’s beloved run defense. Who are your three key players this week?

Jacobs is one of them. The Packers have played some strong run defenses, but it’s time to get back to establishing the ground game. Elgton Jenkins has a major role to play in that while a huge matchup looms against Kenny Clark, his longtime practice rival. My third key player is Micah Parsons. Emotions will be high, but he needs to tune everything out and play his game.

A lot has been said already about Parsons returning to Dallas this week. But I’m betting Kenny Clark will have some mixed emotions about playing against so many friends and former teammates. He has always been such a class act. Do you think you will have an opportunity to talk to him?

I’m sure of it. Clark told reporters in Dallas on Wednesday that it was one of the biggest shocks of his life when the Packers told him that he was being traded. Like Parsons, I’m sure there’s a little extra fire in the oven for Clark to play well against his former team. But beyond this game, Clark’s impact continues to be felt inside this locker room. He was the standard bearer for that defense for nearly a decade and helped bring along so many young defensive linemen. You have the entire D-line room scrapping to swap jerseys with the man. That’s the definition of a legacy. I’m hoping to catch Kenny before the game, which I know may be difficult. I’m sure I won’t be the only one.

Besides Micah Parsons, who on the defense needs to step up and have a big game to shut down this stingy, sometimes flashy, Dallas offense?

The defensive front against Javonte Williams, who’s quietly off to a terrific start to his first season in Dallas. The Cowboys currently sit third in yards per rush (5.36) after ranking 30th last season (3.97).

Other teams make it a point to try and punch the ball loose when tackling. Why not GB? You never see that with them. The Lions had it on full display Monday. Thoughts?

The other guys get paid, too.

What are some key ways this Cowboys team has changed since that 2023 playoff game (besides the obvious one)?

It’s nearly impossible to compare the two just because of how much Dallas has changed in that time on both sides of the ball. There are several veterans, though, who have taken some big losses to Green Bay over the years and would love nothing more than to turn the tables.

Hi guys. I have a question or two about the offensive line. The team has drafted offensive linemen with the idea that they can be flexible and cover at least two (or more) positions on the offensive line. This has seemed to be an organizational philosophy. Who makes the decisions on who plays where? Is it GM Brian Gutekunst? Head Coach Matt LaFleur? Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich, offensive line coach Luke Butkus? How about who fills in for injury?

There is constant dialogue between the coaches and scouts, but ultimately, it’s the job of the personnel department to stock the cupboard and the coaches to cook with the ingredients. The Packers put all the pieces and contingencies in place and that’s the team they send onto the field.
