Hello II, regarding the onside kick rules, is there anything preventing the kicking team from attempting a “pooch” kick? Kicking over the receiving team’s head might increase the chances of recovering the ball. GPG!
Teams can do whatever they want as long as the ball travels 10 yards. But if you watch closely, the Packers have players lined up behind the hands team in case there is a pooch.
I disagree with the idea of fans “looking past” an opponent. I do it all the time without penalty because we are not the ones on the field!
If only fans could keep that same energy when the Packers fall short…Not every victory is the mountaintop, not every loss the vale.
Per ESPN, the league office has told the officials to start calling a penalty if the Eagles’ offensive line jumps before the snap on the tush push. What a novel idea.
Perhaps somebody in the league office finally found the lid to the cookie jar. Now let’s see if the officiating crew’s got the sand to call it inside the Linc this Sunday.

So, you’re telling me that if I submit something overly whiney, without actually doing much research on the topic, there’s a chance the great Cliff Christl himself will answer it? Challenge accepted!
Oh, this one made me giggle something fierce.
As a 61-year-old Packer fan, I don’t understand the concerns about who is wearing what number. I would actually consider not retiring numbers; just honor the player and move on. Maybe it’s just the curmudgeon in me.
Totally fair. Cliff said, or wrote, everything that needed to be said on the No. 1 front. As Cliff wrote, players in the 1920s and ’30s wore all sorts of numbers. Personally, I feel it is time to retire Paul Hornung’s No. 5 officially. If that was Lombardi’s intent, why not finally see that through?
The recent conversations about Tom Brady got me wondering what actually happens in a network production meeting and what kind of details could one gather from it that might provide an advantage to one party or another? Thanks for the great work you guys do.
I don’t know the specifics, but if I’m a head coach or player, I wouldn’t feel comfortable telling him the sky is blue right now.
When a team has back-to-back road games, does everything come back to Green Bay or do they just go ahead and move all the equipment to the next game? Take our next two games, where we are going from an open-air stadium to a dome stadium, so I imagine there are different needs between the two. It has to be a logistical nightmare to move all the stuff around.
That answer and many more in our travel essay from a couple years ago.
With barely over three minutes left in the game Thursday, the Dolphins had the ball first-and-10 just outside the red zone and only down seven to the heavily favored Bills. Just. Beat. Cleveland.
Yup (oops, I did it again). And what was the difference in the game? A turnover. Protect the football. Win the game.
No, it’s not a trap game. Yes, the Packers will be focused on the Browns, and the Pack will prevail. Reasons to believe: 1) This dominant defense has stymied two really good offenses. They will not relent. 2) Jordan Love, all year long! 3) Superior weapons on offense and look for a Golden breakout. 4) Coaching. I’ll take the GB staff any day. 5) Brandon McManus/Daniel Whelan. These guys really are special. GPG!
As I’ve repeated ad nauseum, the Packers cannot look past this opponent. However, one team is 2-0 and the other is 0-2. The Packers need to play clean football and not give the Browns any breaks.
After listening to Jeff Hafley on Thursdays, does anyone else feel they are ready to run through a brick wall for him?
I tried and quickly reached my deductible.
