Inbox: He's got a nose for the ball - Packers.com

Greg from Downers Grove, IL

II, don't you think the criticism of Pederson is a bit rough? If our Pack was in the situation, I would want the Packers to choose the sixth overall pick too. If teams want to make the playoffs, win baby, win.

If I'm the Giants' coach, I'm not standing up there Monday talking about disrespecting the game. I'm standing up there saying my team should have won more games. Period. This was not some double-digit win team losing a playoff spot on a technicality or convoluted tiebreaker. The outrage here is sorely misplaced in my opinion.

With three wild-card teams now, it just feels like it's time for one of them to (possibly) have a home game. A simple solution...don't allow a division winner with a losing record to host a playoff game. What are your thoughts?

The owners have always insisted on division winners getting to host. Extra team or not, if they were going to change it, they'd have done so long ago.

I know this is extremely early, but since there is a little down time, put a reminder to do a prospect primer on a QB or WR from Indiana State. Seems like they might fit right in!

Duly noted.

Do you think it's safe to say that last Sunday's game was the first time in NFL history where two different Indiana State alumni caught TD passes?

They are two of just 12 ISU alums to ever play in the NFL, according to Pro Football Reference, and only three of the others played an offensive skill position, all for one year each (1926, '71, '94). So, yeah.

Mike, given that Mason Crosby played all 16 games, is his 16 field-goal attempts in a season a record low either for the franchise or even the whole league?

I don't know about the league, but it's the fewest in Crosby's career and the fewest by the Packers in a full season since having 17 attempts in 1975 (a 14-game slate). You have to go all the way back to 1956, when there were just eight tries, to find a year with fewer than 16.

Patrick from Gulf Breeze, FL

I don't like living in the past, but regarding the Patterson opening play: From the rear camera angle, you can see clearly that his hand touched the ball prior to his foot hitting the ground, and when his foot does touch the ground, it's in bounds. So that's why I was astonished the play was upheld. No use crying over spilt penalties considering we won anyway.

I was with LaFleur, I thought the ball should have been spotted at the 1-yard line. If that had been the call on the field, replay wouldn't have reversed it. One of those things. I think the official on the field understood what Patterson was trying to do but didn't actually make sure he executed it properly and just cut him some slack.

Douglas from Bloomington, IL

Watching the game with some Bears fans, we all agreed that Cordarrelle probably touched the ball before going out of bounds and that Kmet probably was down before the fumble, but each was too close to overturn. Do you agree with the replay rules that the video evidence has to be overwhelming to overturn the call on the field, or that the ruling should be made based on the replay regardless of what was called on the field?

The latter. With the technology available today, I've said before I think the call on the field getting priority is an outdated notion. Particularly so on a play like Alexander's, where officials are inclined to let turnovers play out because they're automatically reviewed. But by letting them play out, they're giving weight to the play being a turnover based on the language of the replay rule. The logic, such as it is, is full of holes.

Slow down II junkies, please. I see that many want a rematch with Tampa. We did not match up well with them earlier and we still don't. Let's root to play who we think is the best matchup for the Packers to win. In my opinion it's the Bears. Which team is the best matchup for the Packers?

I think that's the first time our readership has been referred to as junkies, but I kinda like it. There's no question the Bucs are the toughest matchup for the Packers. I don't think it's close. Let's see what happens.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
