What better place than here

Hey, they can not all be Lori from Brookfield. Hello!

Paul from Milwaukee, WI

Guys, I think we have two small advantages over the Sunday Vikings. First, the Vikings basically have the same team and we have the advantage of spotting what they did last year with the same players. Second, our defense is still trying to find its identity and we have many different players. I've seen that our defense can be improved over last year, so I think the Vikings do not really know what to expect. Am I on something? What do you think?

As impatient as I was to see what Green Bay's defense looked like in the first game, I'm just as curious to see what form it takes to face the Vikings. It would not surprise me at all if we witness a total change in the second match. I think this confrontation will boil down to the meeting of defensive minds. The Packers certainly know Mike Zimmer and his defense, and Mike Pettine's defense certainly adds a new twist to the rivalry.

Corinne from Chicago, IL

Pettine pointed out that her goal is to stop the pass in today's NFL, even if it means giving up a few yards. This was shown against the Bears with the high number of defensive backhands in the packs he used, and this seemed to work in the second half against Mitchell Trubisky. With the Vikings having an elite backtracking into Cook, does this defensive state in relation to the passage probably change for Sunday (for example, a more balanced defense against the pass and the race, stopping the first)?

Bill Belichick's patriots have gained a reputation in the league for creating game plans and specific packages based on the opponent. I am curious to know if Pettine is adapting a similar approach here in Green Bay. We will begin to discover Sunday.

Julian from Gastonia, NC

Whether Aaron Rodgers plays Sunday or not, I want to see the Packers win a big game against a very good team because of another aspect of the team besides Rodgers. How about an excellent performance of the game being run, or a very low score contest that the Packers have won because of their defense.

Regardless of the status of Rodgers, the Packers need everyone to intervene. I think this could be a great opportunity for the Green Bay game to do that. Whenever Rodgers has been injured in the past, the best friend of the Packers' passing game has been the constant production of the backfield. Yes, the race match started slowly last week and faces a historic Minnesota defense, but what better place than here in Lambeau Field to make an impact. What better time than now?

Ian from Onalaska, WI

I hear people comparing defenses, quarters and receivers in Green Bay and Minnesota. This does not make sense because the defense does not play in defense and vice versa. I think that they can do the big games they will need on both sides of the ball. My biggest concern for Sunday is to grant extra yards and first tries. Do you think game style adjustments will be made to avoid flags or will players clean up their own game?

The Packers examine the official squad that the league transmits and train their players accordingly. It is important to stay focused on their mission and keep your fingers crossed.

Who is the real Jimmy G? Graham or Garoppolo?

Easy. It must be the O.G.

Robert of Angola, IN

Has Mr. Cousins ​​ever faced a defense of Mike Pettine? If so, how did he play?

To my knowledge, this will be the first time he will face Pettine's defense.

Chuck from Green Bay, WI

I do not think the Packers coaches had the congratulations they deserved for the halftime play changes in the Bears win. what's your reaction?

I thought the adjustments were exceptional on both sides of the ball. Mike Pettine and the defense started to dictate the pace of the game after these first two rounds. Meanwhile, Mike McCarthy and Joe Philbin did a bunch of punches and set up a menu of games for Rodgers, especially since everyone seemed to be getting ready for DeShone Kizer to start the second half. -time.

Stephen from Washington, D.C.

So, if Rodgers plays, do you think he'll get by with some fire and repayment?

If Rodgers plays, he attacks this game with the same fire he brings to each game. As for the return on investment, there would be nothing sweeter than a home victory against the Vikings.

Scott from Richfield, MN

While Kizer did not win a game last season, how could his NFC North experience help him get ready if he played Sunday?

I would say that there were more advantages to Kizer taking shots of regular season in Lambeau Field than playing a divisional opponent. He knows what it's like to play in the Midwest, but playing Lambeau is a different animal.

Dana from Mayfield, KY

Davante Adams will be ready to leave Sunday?

Adams said he hoped to play when asked Wednesday. I'm sure he has trouble going out. Adams was again rated as a limited participant on Friday, so there seems to be no setback. There is no longer a "likely" designation, so guys should be labeled dubious if they have doubts about their availability.

Colin from Lansdale, PA

Mike is perfect in his assessment of Jaire Alexander on the third and second. It was a child's game made by a young corner in a big stain.

Watching Alexander fly the ball was very encouraging. As fun as the interceptions and deviations are, these extra tackles and efforts make the difference. Alexander just has the look of a guy who likes to be there. It also helps his confidence is unparalleled.

Bill from Bloomfield Hills, MI

What appears to be a solid group of outstanding secondary actors could be the best long-term news we have to date. Cover bags are as effective as fast pressure bags and safety devices can provide more effective support, is not it? Too soon maybe, but from Jackson, Alexander, Jones, and King, how would you classify them as a Revis Island Shutdown star or Woodson Ball / Play-Hawking star?

I am very interested in King's potential as a cornerback half because his speed and size allow him to follow a receiver across the line of scrimmage. I remember talking to his coach, Jimmy Lake last year, and Lake to mention how stable and efficient King was in Washington. Alexander and Josh Jackson also have a lot of talent and versatility. Pettine has a lot of young gaming leaders at her disposal.

Mike from Somerset, WI

Randall Cobb looked good in the first game. How many people report being wrong to cut Cobb during the off season? This guy is dynamite!

Cobb had a good game before his 75-yard touchdown to pass Green Bay after the PAT. His seven second – period catches helped Rodgers and the offensive to keep pace. Moving the chains is what it does best.

Steve from Janesville, WI

Just my opinion: Aaron is too important to put on the field and risk injury. The Vikings will shoot him cheap. The Packers probably have a 50% chance of winning, Aaron has a better chance of getting hurt. Be smart and fight another day.

As Mike McCarthy always says, they will gather all the relevant information and make the best decision for Rodgers and the team. You have to play smart, not afraid.

Daniel from Los Angeles, California

I just thought I was going to clear up the minds of Rodgers' injury history. Aside from his ripped ACL, which was in high school, he had no major injuries. Knee sprains can heal within a month or two, and broken collarbones only help with injuries. He does not play with the father's time with these minor injuries, this is only a drawback for his availability, but not for his health.

McCarthy said Friday morning that he hopes this type of injury could fade in season. Yes, it's not fun to play, but it's not as if he has suffered injuries with consequences on his career.

Jeremiah from Denver, CO

Curious to see how the position of the inbox on the drink is rigid. Would you ever boo? Are you already hesitating at baseball games? Personally, I will never drink the performance, but I will be ashamed. Something wrong is Mary or Ndamukong Suh-to-the-groin worthy. It's great to have this Packer family and the season on us!

I save my race for professional wrestling events.

Verne from Davenport, IA

Mike made a statement about the Professional Football Hall of Fame: the focus on inductees should be on what they accomplished and not on what they accomplished. I have supported him for years regarding Gale Sayers. I do not think he's worthy of the HOF because of his career statistics (less than 5,000 total yards and only 1,000 yards twice). He relies on what he could have done if he had not been hurt, Sterling Sharpe should, too. Agreement or disagreement?

There is no doubt in my mind that Sharpe would have been to Canton if he had played three more seasons, but that obviously did not happen. In my opinion, the part of Sharpe's story that is not talked about enough is that he never missed a game in his first seven years in the league, making 112 consecutive starts. It's tragic that it ended like this.

Mike from Glenwood, IL

One of the reasons I do not trust QBR is that the formula is vague and has not been published. I can find a passing grade and insert the numbers in the formula. Part of me, the situation of the game being taken into account, believes that the notation is somewhat subjective. Do you have access to a formula to calculate QBR?

I do not use it for three reasons – it's a manufacturing statistic developed by a media entity, most of the public does not know how it is calculated and finally, there is nothing wrong with the smuggling log, which I find simple and effective compare quarters.

Ein from Rochester, NY

I wanted to say thank you for posting II every day. Thursday, a devastating announcement was made that my lacrosse team (Rochester Knighthawks), in my hometown, was moving out and being replaced by an expansion team. I found myself looking for any place to express my confusion and sadness. There was not one. It really made me appreciate this forum that allows fans to ask questions, to rejoice in victory and even to complain collectively (sometimes with pitchforks). Keep up the good work.

We are glad that you have chosen to share your fandom Packers in this space, and if I knew anything about lacrosse in the room, I would be happy to bring a shoulder.

Jacob of Glendale, AZ

I think the Packers will win this week if they leave it on the grass as Herm Edwards would say. What about them? Sun Devils stuns MSU?

I know our "uncertified" producer, Matt Arvin, continues to mourn his alma mater.

Jim from Muskego, WI

Hi Wes. It is 1:30 Friday and after a hard work week and three children, I finally catch up with my insider reading. I have just one question: Mike and you have you ever thought about fighting in a cage match?

It's like the Inbox Insider version of Conor-Khabib. Spoff would have understood well if there had been strikes in the first five minutes, but I believe that my experience in wrestling and my jiu-jitsu experience would allow me to take it to the laps following.

Garrett from Houston, TX

Here is to hope as father, as son, and Cillian changes it further by pronouncing it Hod-kai-wick-zuh. Who knows, maybe in a few generations you will be the Hesters.

We can only hope. I am proud of my name and proud of my heritage, but I would still have taken a pseudonym when I started writing. It would make things easier, but you do not think about it at the age of 18.

Nothing beats a Packers-Vikings noon game at Lambeau Field, where the only cloud in the sky is generated by cooking marmots.

Amen brother. Enjoy what might be the last 80-degree weekend of 2018 in northeastern Wisconsin, everyone.
