Regarding special teams...It really seems to be that Davis has speed but lacks the natural ability to be a returner. He's too indecisive, and even when he makes a decision he isn't adept at making one person miss. Plus he catches balls he has no business catching, like a punt at the goal line. Do the Packers have any other reasonable choices here? Maybe Cobb or McCaffrey? I don't mind seeing Cobb back there as he's not a top receiver and we have numbers at the WR position.
-
Randall Cobb is still very important to the Packers offense, and he's made plays the past few weeks. I don't disagree on anything you said about Trevor Davis' return ability, but I think the Packers are still in a place where they want to see him improve, because his natural speed is so enticing. Davis has the speed to return kicks all the way.

No, I don't think anyone asked Mike McCarthy why he was so stupid as to do run the wildcat with Randall Cobb, because there's such a thing as professional decorum. He was asked about it, and really didn't provide much of an answer. I do agree it provided little production to the offense.

That definitely wasn't me. I wrote about the benefits Martellus Bennett was expected to give the Packers offense, some things he does better than Cook, some not. Sure, he was expected to be a more complete tight end, someone who could block and play in-line, but not a bigger playmaker. Always thought the Packers should re-sign Jared Cook.

Lost on the Benny Cunningham replay overturn yesterday was a really poor tackle attempt from Damarious Randall that would've prevented a first down. Now, Randall sometimes makes really good tackles in run support, and other times he doesn't. I wouldn't say he's scared to make a tackle, just that he's inconsistent. Ultimately, if he's making plays and plastering his receiver, the Packers will live with it.

Hey Ryan even though Sundays game was a nice win lets remember that it is still the Bears and not Minnesota. We needed that win but will it be enough later down the line when crunch time really means a playoff slot? We still need improvement but yes there were a few bright spots your thoughts
-
I don't think anyone is losing sight of the fact it was the Bears. The damage to losing that game was more significant than the reward to winning. A loss, and the season would effectively be over. A win, and there's still a ton of work to do, but victory at least prolonged the season's relevance.

MM and TT needed a win yesterday in the worst way given that the Vikes are essentially running away with the division despite essentially being on their 3rd string QB. There is no question that the Vikes defense is superior to the Packers defense. Even with Hundley I would give the slight edge to the Packers offense over the Vikes offense until Jones/Monty went down. I would give the Vikes special teams the edge over the Packers. Just shows you how much coaching and actual quality depth helps, right?

JS never wants to use my question. Let's review, on Rodgers last pass attempt of the season, Marty ham handed it. He's also the guy who flubbed the winning touchdown in last years Super Bowl, his miss allowed James White to be the hero. And he's impugned the Pack, the doc, etc. A national radio show had a clever survey on who was the bigger fibber, Marty, or his brother off sides leader #72, for the Seasquawks. How come you guys won't comment on the quitter?

I don't think anyone has been too quick to downgrade Brett Hundley when they're pointing out he's not playing very well in the moment, because it's true. Now, if fans are saying he'll never be a good quarterback, of course that's premature. I agree with you, Hundley needs a few more games to show if he can build off what he did in Chicago, and continue to improve.
-
The long pass to Davante only took 2 seconds in the pocket. As Hundley gets more comfortable with his reads, he can look first to a Davis or a Janis on those medium-long routes. This pure speed option will open up both the run & passing games even more. Synergy is the watchword.
-
You could be right. I asked David Bakhtiari about his quarterback in the locker room yesterday, and he said it's Hundley's third start, and you saw the expected improvement. I think that was good for the locker room to see overall. There's a morale boost in winning, but also a boost in seeing the QB play well.
