It's not just about the math; it's about the strategy and the players.
Feb 04, 2026
Kurtis from Macungie, PA
"Half will be won and half will be lost." But it's not just about the wins and losses; it's about the strategy and the players.
Rick from San Diego, CA
"There was a certain assistant to the traveling secretary that might disagree with you." And he had a way to acquire Bonds and Griffey without giving up that much.
Ray from Phoenix, AZ
"The highest-rated player on the Packers' board when they pick in the second round is a receiver." Do they trade down to get more picks, or do they go for a position of need?
Brian from Manitowoc, WI
"The Packers organization doesn't divulge the head coach or GM contract details." But reporters have found out on their own in the past.
Barb from Marengo, IL
"Every team next season will be playing at least one overseas game." Half the league, maybe, and it depends on where they go.
Barry from De Pere, WI
"The Saints would play at the Stade de France this year." If the Packers are chosen, they'll play on Desso GrassMaster, the same as Lambeau.
Bill from Menominee, MI
"DeMarcus Covington was hired as a position coach." Was he considered for the DC role before Gannon was hired?
Kevin from Arlington Heights, IL
"It's easier for a defense to pick up a new scheme." Offenses have more variables, and defenses react to them.
Shawn from Colby, WI
"On an outside run, the runner can't just throw the ball." It's about blocking and penalties.
Don from Thompson, ND
"Preseason games are now regular-season games." Joint practices are still there for young players.
Ian from Kirkwhelpington, UK
"The Packers won't tender Emanuel Wilson." One-year deals keep options open.
Michael from Mesa, AZ
"The O-line needs to take a step forward." Cap space and free agency moves are key.
Matt from Fitchburg, WI
"The O-line is a concern." Moves can create cap space, and players like Jordan Morgan and Aaron Banks need to step up.
Jason from Boyle, MS
"Malik Willis will cost a lot." Salary cap estimates are high.
Jay from Benton, AR
"The NFL has never had a Super Bowl with two teams so far apart." The Dolphins and 49ers were 2,723 miles apart in Super Bowl XIX.
Tom from Yardley, PA
"Most starting quarterbacks in Super Bowls are stars." Maye and Darnold are stars, and Maye is likely to finish second in MVP voting.
Jeremiah from Middleton, WI
"Jordan Love was left out of the Pro Bowl top three." Disappointing, but the NFC's original selections were strong.
Jim from Eau Claire, WI
"The Packers won't use the franchise tag." Free agency moves and cap space are key.
John from Canada
"'Just get in' is realistic." Regular-season records matter, and close games are common.
Jeff from New Lisbon, WI
"Player safety comes into play at extreme cold." The line is drawn at severe frostbite, and games haven't been rescheduled.
Mark from Appleton, WI
"Football is a young man's game." Lambeau upgrades are needed, but indoor club seats are a priority.
