Is Mike McCarthy going to be the next Dallas coach?

by RRx 12/1/2019 5:41:38 PM
That would be interesting, wouldn't it? Maybe the Bears hire him? He could wind up here in New York maybe? There should be some openings for him.

by Tom Silverstein 12/1/2019 5:42:21 PM
Glad to hear the coach call out the OL saying it’s the worst game up front this year. I think Linsley is The most over rated on an over rated line.

by Rob 12/1/2019 5:42:28 PM
I think he had a really bad game last week, but I wouldn't call him over-rated. He does a lot of things people don't notice. He's not one of the highest-paid centers in the league. But his value is good.

Back in Fairbanks after the California debacle Sunday night!

Tom: nationally speaking it appears the Packers have rendered themselves inadequate after that performance in SF. Even with much needed wins vs Giants and Skins do you think the Packers will be looked at as a force only if they can win vs Vikings?

by Bad Finger 12/1/2019 5:43:47 PM
Yes, that will be a defining game. Also, I want to see if SF is as good as advertised or GB is worse than we thought. If Baltimore whips SF, we might know more about them.

Tom

Your pregame blog sure beats the heck out of CBS and FOX. Pregame show😀

by Mike 12/1/2019 5:44:34 PM
Thanks!

Tom: does all the tight ends Active mean the running game will be featured?

by PackerBacker50 12/1/2019 5:44:42 PM
I think it will be. I think we'll see a lot of Jones and Williams early.

Tom, do you find it strange that the packers are offering up to 8 post season tickets per customer this friday?

by James 12/1/2019 5:45:06 PM
What has it been in the past?

by Tom Silverstein 12/1/2019 5:45:11 PM
How long before Veldheer can get up to speed as he has to be a better option than Light

by Paul 12/1/2019 5:45:15 PM
It will take him a week or two of practice.

by Tom Silverstein 12/1/2019 5:45:29 PM
Tom - What's your current view of Jace Sternberger's blocking effectiveness? In the game video footage I've seen of him, he's been blocking effectively and with enthusiasm. Thanks.

by AZWarrior 12/1/2019 5:45:35 PM
His technique isn't great, but he sure doesn't cheat anybody. He's willing to throw his body around. He wasn't perfect two weeks ago, but I thought he showed promise.

When Tom was a little guy many decades ago, what teams jersey did he want to open on Christmas?

by PackerBacker50 12/1/2019 5:46:29 PM
I was a Houston Oilers fan. Loved Earl Campbell. But that was a looooong time ago.

Hi Tom hello from Galesville

by Chris G. 12/1/2019 5:46:55 PM
Regarding Gary, any idea if they've considered giving him reps at ILB? He's as fast as Burks, had agility drills comparable to TEs, and is bigger than Matthews. Not saying it would work, but at least consider it?

by Hyo 12/1/2019 5:47:02 PM
I haven't seen any sign of it. In fact, I saw them have Fackrell and Z. Smith stand up like inside linebackers a couple times in recent weeks. I would guess if they wanted Gary to do that, they would have done it by now.

by Tom Silverstein 12/1/2019 5:47:42 PM
BTW, I can't tell you how few fans there are here at this very moment. Thirteen minutes before kickoff and there's like 10,000 people here.

by Tom Silverstein 12/1/2019 5:48:18 PM
Tom, should Oren Burks be focused more on his football career, or this bitcoin thing I read about?

by Collarbone12 12/1/2019 5:48:23 PM
I don't think what guys do off the field necessarily affects them. Most guys get their work done during the day and do other things to relax their minds.

Do you think they’ll let Linsley go when his contract is up and move Jenkins to center?

by Jerry K 12/1/2019 5:49:50 PM
It's always a possibility. But Jenkins has been pretty good at guard. Linsley will continue to get better. But Jenkins would be a force in the middle.

Greeting from Fort Myers Tom! Let's give'em hell today!

Checking in from Rochester ny after a 2 week absence (you never post my questions or comments so I was like...what’s the point!)

I’ll try again for you Tom

by EcuadorBucky 12/1/2019 5:50:43 PM
Is there any chance NJG puts pressure on AR? It seems like that adjusting to pressure has been the offense’s greatest challenge so far. I’m hoping for 30+ points today!

by Browan 12/1/2019 5:50:50 PM
If you mean blitz a ton, I doubt it. Teams don't have much success when they blitz. When they can pressure with four, they shut down the offense.

by Tom Silverstein 12/1/2019 5:51:15 PM
Its time to try Ty Summers at ILB

by fredo 12/1/2019 5:51:18 PM
There are some well designed screen passes in college and the NFL that are being run. Not really seeing that recently with GB, thought this would be a great opportunity for MLF?

Question about McCarthey; if the Pack had held on to the lead in Seattle, and gone on to win the Super Bowl, do you think that would have been enough for him to have weathered last year's storm?

by Hyo 12/1/2019 5:51:45 PM
Most definitely. If they had made the playoffs, it would have been tougher to fire him. That's why I think they fired him in December. Murphy might have been afraid they'd go on a run and he wouldn't be able to make a change.
