In response to the "he's just a kicker" concerning Mason Crosby's longevity, he's saved us on more kickoff returns than I care to remember. Exactly how many tackles has he made?
In his pro career, Crosby has been credited with 27 tackles on kickoff coverage in the regular season, plus three more in the playoffs.

Mason Crosby kicking in 255 games for the Packers is extraordinary! Let's count the number of times he didn't score. Am I using just one hand?
I found five for sure. Three shutouts (two in 2017, one in '18) and two games the Packers scored eight points (at Arizona in '15, at San Francisco in '19). It would take more research than I have time for to see if there are any others.

Wes and Mike, you guys occasionally mention the crazy work schedules you have to keep, late nights, long hours, deadlines galore, nothing the same from one week to the next, the relief you feel when you finally get a chance to spend some time at home with family. Do any of those things ever make you wish you'd gone into some calmer, more predictable line of work?
I tried that when my second child was born, leaving the newspaper business, and it wasn't for me. Two years later I landed here and am forever grateful, so any complaints always come with that caveat of context.

I think it's now safe to say the announcer jinx is real. Buck and Aikman said only two FGs greater than 50 yards had been made in GB when it was less than 25 degrees. BAM! 55-yarder from Gay. Then they talked about how the Rams haven't had any TDs to a tight end. WHOOSH! Touchdown Higbee. How do we put a stop to this before someone gets hurt out there? Should we stop giving odd stats to announcers so they just call the game as they see it instead?
"The Packers have never won a road game on Christmas." Of course they've never played a road game on Christmas, but I'm tryin' here.

Looks like our wild-card rivals have a tough slate this week. I know the focus is on the Dolphins, but as fans it's tough to ignore. Anything here you'd like to expand on?
The Commanders getting their seventh loss and the Seahawks getting their eighth would be nice to toast to on Christmas Eve.

Matt LaFleur has had an incredible amount of success as a head coach. However, he and the Packers have never endured as much adversity under his watch as they have this year. Players and coaches always say that how you respond to adversity is the true measure of a team. If we can somehow make the playoffs, maybe this team is better suited to succeed than the 13-win teams that fizzled out. I know, I know. Just beat Miami.
To me, the playoffs are a crapshoot whether you enter them with 13 wins or nine (or maybe seven in the case of the eventual NFC South champion this year). However you get in, it's a roll of the dice.

Spoff rooting for a 7-10 division winner tells me one thing: He's an anarchist. In a pear tree.
Or something like that.

Do you think the Packers have peaked too late for a run at the playoffs?
If the Packers have peaked, they aren't making the playoffs. If they haven't peaked yet, they have a chance. Happy Thursday.
