Good morning from Eagan, MN! Go Pack (and Lions)!! Wishing everyone well today.

I live in the DC area. Skins suddenly have a bit of a pulse. Contain the run and put some heat on Haskins early and often.

Checking in from Des Moines and missing bring surrounded by all the green and gold during our annual Wisco Thanksgiving trip. GB represents well everywhere but there's still nothing like the born-and-bred fans I grew up with.

Good Morning Tom from Appleton

The team spent big on 3 free agent defense players and 2 number 1 picks on defense. In addition there are 3 other number 1 picks on this defense.Yes there has been improvement, but how long does Pettine get a pass on this underperforming unit

by Paul 12/8/2019 5:44:59 PM
Probably through the end of the regular season. After that it's do or die. If the defense fails, I wouldn't be surprised if LaFleur decided to bring in his own guy. Remember, he didn't hire Pettine. He was already here.

by Tom Silverstein 12/8/2019 5:49:30 PM
Did King aggravate the shoulder, do you think, or is it more "resting" him in a presumed win?

by MikeB 12/8/2019 5:49:33 PM
I think he must have aggravated it.

by Tom Silverstein 12/8/2019 5:49:39 PM
So Tom, hoe important is today’s game to get GB moving in the right direction?

by AlrightThen 12/8/2019 5:50:15 PM
I think every game down the stretch is important not just to win but to improve.

by Tom Silverstein 12/8/2019 5:50:32 PM
Tom -- we have not had good TEs on offense for how many years and we have not been able to cover TEs on defense for how many years and do you see the GM finallly not just addressing but FIXING these problems next year?

by bob in MN 12/8/2019 5:50:40 PM
Well, he can address the tight end situation, which he will, but I don't know what you do to improve covering a tight end. He drafted a fast safety and signed a tackling safety. His defensive coordinator likes playing five and six defensive backs. So it's more on the DC than it is on him.

by Tom Silverstein 12/8/2019 5:51:42 PM
Any chance Stern' contributes anything more to the offense than blocking today? How serious do you think they are about working him into the offense these next 4 weeks?

by Hyo 12/8/2019 5:51:46 PM
I think it's a great time to see what he can do. He's done a nice job blocking and on special teams. They need to at least get a look at him in the passing game.

Following in Qatar, not televised here. Go figure.

How many fumbles has the new guy had on returns in his career? Wasn’t he cut because of one? The cold makes it tough to catch

by John 12/8/2019 5:52:30 PM
I have not researched that.

Pettine did more with less last season, less with more this season.

Greetings from 35,000 feet above California. Hope the coffee is warm and the seats are soft. Does WASH have anything at all other than AP?

by Joe Creitz 12/8/2019 5:52:54 PM
Derrius Guice is for real. WR Terry McLaurin is a guy to keep an eye on. He's spectacular at times. DT Matt Ioannidis has been impressive and Monteaz Sweat is a better performing Rashan Gary.

by Tom Silverstein 12/8/2019 5:54:07 PM
I think people are too hard on this defense. They are pretty good. The worst games they have had has coincided with horrid offensive games. Defense was actually solid in those games early. The offense was on and off the field so quickly theh got gassed. Field position was slso awful. The defense is not where we want it but nowhere near as bad as people are saying.

Surprised that Kadar Holman isn’t up with King our? He seemed to show a lot of promise early this year.

by Kevin K 12/8/2019 5:54:57 PM
Yeah, he did. I thought maybe for special teams purposes he'd be up a couple of times, but they must not think he's ready.

by Tom Silverstein 12/8/2019 5:55:19 PM
On board and ready from SA TX .Let the sunshine on Lambeau from TX

by Kowski 12/8/2019 5:55:25 PM
Will LaFleur be allowed to make that change?
