Are the coaches considering pulling Mason Crosby until he gets his mojo back? It's kind of obvious when the camera pans to him prior to a FG attempt he has already missed it in his head. What is Crosby doing to get past his mental block?
I've covered Crosby for 10 years, including the nightmarish 2012 season. While we can't talk with him like we did back then, I wouldn't categorize this as a "mental block." I feel like the field-goal unit's struggles are due more to a lack of execution than a lack of confidence. Good kickers are difficult to find, which is why you gotta stand by those guys.

It's unendingly impressive to me how the NFL has consistently defined parity in league sports. The Packers can't overlook any team, on any week. For every blowout we've rung up on some low-ranked opponent, we've laid an egg versus another similarly ranked team. Everybody knows how to play, so it always comes down to a combination of luck (in injuries and the way the prolate spheroid bounces) and how well they do their jobs. At the risk of beating a dead horse, "just beat the football team."
People had fun with Urban Meyer's comment earlier this year about how every week is like playing Alabama in the NFL, but there is a lot of truth to that. It's a league of parity and there isn't a whole that separates a good win-loss team from a bad one.

Wow, until watching WYMM, I never really paid attention to all the precision that goes into the blocking to make a screen play work. Not just by the big guys, but the receivers all took their turns making huge blocks. And my hat goes off to the unsung heroes of football, the tight ends. They do so much more than catch the football! Thanks for the breakdown, Mike.
Mike had a good blow-by-blow of a couple screens the Packers set up against the Seahawks. Be sure to check it out if you haven't already.

Follow up to Jake's question about Aaron Rodgers being off-target a lot: He said in his Pat McAfee Tuesday interview he was having trouble getting a read on the wind. It's definitely worth checking it out to get his full explanation.
It's worth watching to get Rodgers' full perspective on the game. This toe thing is something to monitor, but all-in-all, I'm not too concerned. Rodgers has been doing this for a long time. He'll be ready.

When a player moves from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, is he paid more money as a roster bonus or is he paid the same as he was on the practice squad?
That player receives a game check concurrent with his experience level. So, a rookie would receive the prorated amount (1/18th) of the base minimum for this season.

Sounds like Tim Boyle is going to get the nod this weekend. You gotta be excited, eh, Wes? Weren't you the one talking him up in the offseason?
This offseason? More like since Day 2 (I think Michael Cohen and Andy Herman probably get the Day 1 credit). I can't say I'm unbiased as it relates to Tim Boyle, the human, but I'm pretty high on Tim Boyle, the quarterback, too. If Tim gets his opportunity, I hope he lights it up. He's one of my all-time favorites. TBLS 4 Life.

One word: Trap game.
Two words: Stop.

So Wes, I just watched "Unscripted" (for the second time) and was looking for big changes! After all the build-up about the new glasses, I was expecting some sort of 1970s "Elton John-ish" style! Instead, we got pretty much the "Same ol', same ol'." Come on Wes, step out of the comfort zone!
I am whatever you say I am. If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

Today (Nov. 17) is my birthday, and all I want for my birthday is a Packer score of 17-0 this Sunday. 17-0 every quarter, for a grand total of 68-0! Is that too much to ask?
Possibly but you never know. Speaking of birthdays, I want to wish my dad, Pa Hod, a very happy 60th birthday. He is my hero and I wouldn't be where I am today without him. Hopefully, the Packers will grant me a few hours off so I can celebrate it with him tonight. Have a great Thursday, folks!
