Mike, you never know a good book after reading the first page. Rarely do you know it before you’re halfway through. After Week 16, this book is heating up. They are making the plays at crunch time now. And to be honest, sometimes, that’s all it takes.
There’s no more reliable formula for victory in this crazy league than being the better team with the game on the line. That’ll never change.
Absolutely loved the triple block by Allen Lazard and his and Rodgers’ reactions after the play. It was a critical play on that drive.
It certainly was. I believe my comment in the live blog referenced bowling pins. Kudos to Mike McDaniel for the strategy with the intentional offside to follow, but that run by Jones forced the Dolphins to use all their timeouts, and the clock was past the two-minute warning when they got the ball back for the last time.
Hi Mike, first off, wanted to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas…Wes too! And to say thanks for the great in-game blog. I watched Rodgers’ postgame interview and was wondering if you were the “Mike” he addressed when talking about playoffs. I thought his response was entertaining.

The nasty Midwest weather prevented several Green Bay media from getting to the game, so I was doing my best to ask LaFleur and Rodgers questions to help out everyone with their stories, and my own of course. I was taking live notes on my laptop at the same time, too, which helped me get my game recap sent back on the bus ride and the editorial shipped before the plane took off. I missed a couple road trips this year, but I was back in the zone yesterday, baby. I hope Vic is proud.

Which team has been the biggest surprise so far this season and which team has been the biggest disappointment?
For biggest surprise I’ll go with the Vikings. Improvement was expected after 7-9 and 8-9 the past two years and the regime change that followed, but 12-3 with two games left is still eye-opening. There have been a lot of disappointments in the NFL this season, but I’d have to put the defending Super Bowl-champion Rams, yesterday’s blowout win notwithstanding, at the top of the list.
I know I’m getting ahead of myself here but should we all start sending Mike McCarthy gift packages asking him to play his starters Week 18? Crazy to think GB’s playoff chances may come down to whether or not their former coach plays his…
