A question from many fans: How many cans of beer can be consumed by a GBP football team during a 40-minute flight back home after a big Game 1 victory?
None. The NFL does not allow alcohol on team flights.

Did any of the coaches talk about what Krys Barnes did to go from practice squad to starting ILB, passing by Oren Burks and Ty Summers in the process? Give Krys credit, he didn't seem to be out of place and did a great job.
It was a solid as well as surprising debut. No one saw the depth chart shaking out like that, and I'm sure Pettine will be asked about it when he speaks with the media later this week.

II, talking about perfection for Sunday's game, except for wasting timeouts to avoid delay-of-game penalties. Why still the problem carrying over from last year? Would have thought shortening the verbiage would improve the timing.
It was supposed to, and I think it did in some instances. There were multiple occasions Rodgers had time to try the hard count and/or survey the defense extensively. LaFleur also suggested on Monday several calls included two plays, giving Rodgers his choice at the line. I suspect some of those longer calls created the delays. Clearly there are segments that remain a work in progress.

An observation from the weekend: the six teams that got "better" by drafting first-round WRs went 1-5 in their openers. Perhaps there's more to a team's improvement than just who they do or don't draft in a given year?
By a longshot. Anyone who's read this column regularly knows that. At the same time, though, judging any rookie impact based on Week 1, this year in particular, is immensely foolhardy.

In response to Josh from Melbourne, as of Sunday, the word was that the Packers game will be the Saints' first go with fans in attendance. Even still, limited capacity is far better than full capacity in the Superdome!
True that.

Mike, do you expect to see more productivity from the TE position against the Lions?
That's a matchup question. The Packers' four tight ends combined for more than 100 snaps. They were on the field plenty, but only three of the 44 pass attempts went their way, the rest to the receivers and backs. Why? I'm guessing Eric Kendricks and Anthony Barr. That's as good a pair of cover linebackers in the middle of the field as you'll find, and the Vikings had a bunch of young corners the Packers wanted to attack. The plan was to look for those matchups first, and check it down to the backs if nothing was there. Not every defense will be built like Minnesota's.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Aaron Jones' blitz pickups? I saw him stop a defender blitzing 12 and stopped him in his tracks. Not once, but twice. Both times it was beautiful work.
We've come to expect it, but we certainly shouldn't take it for granted.

Getting Tyler Ervin for nothing is the NFL equivalent of Ed McMahon showing up at your door with a Publisher's Clearing House check. I might be showing my age with that reference.
Opportunity and circumstance matter in the NFL. The lottery and sweepstakes don't necessarily work that way, but I get your point.
Jim from McLean, VA
I imagine the Lions will be coached all week to not fall for the hard count. They'll likely be offsides less than the Vikings, but that small bit of uncertainty and hesitation should give Rodgers and Co. an extra beat for a play to develop in their favor.
Bingo. Rodgers from last week: "More than (getting penalties and free plays), it's on their minds. I think it takes a little bit of the steam and the aggression out of getting off on the snap count."
Richard from Mifflinburg, PA
Could you please put the play on the website of Josiah Deguara making the big block. I missed part of Sunday's game but heard it on the radio and the announcers went nuts over it! Please let me see it!
It's in my WYMM segment as Play No. 3, which I included because of everything else going on during that play in addition to Deguara's great block. Don't miss his block in Play No. 2 either.
