This is a picture as beautiful as the Sunset in Door County

A few weeks ago I asked you to compare and contrast today's TOs with those of 2011: Mike, thanks for posting this. Now, after a few weeks of good football, we see what sets this defense apart from previous years; Especially from 2011. While Jeff Hafley has a ton of talent, now that we have more choice, what do you see about him that's really different than in the past that players feel strongly about?

It enables players to be successful and enables them to play quickly and freely. The Packers have always had playmakers on the defensive side of the ball, but this particular group plays well together — and they're doing it all in the first half of Hafley's first season in Green Bay.

Gentlemen, I didn't see any mention of this, but I was wondering if you noticed the visible frustration of the opposing quarterbacks? Shaking heads, staring at the sky, throwing helmets, dropping chins, etc. To this fan, it looks like the personnel and plan are coming together well.

It's what you want to see. For a defensive coordinator, it's an image as beautiful as the Sunset in Door County – the players playing together and the opponent bearing their frustration.

Matt LaFleur said that Jordan Love's superpower is his ability to “move on from mistakes and not dwell on them.” History shows that we also have to learn from mistakes, otherwise we are doomed to repeat them. GPG! Eyes on the prize, green and gold.

The comment is more about Love's ability to bounce back from adversity and not just an interception. Sure, Love needs to protect the ball better, but the NFL is going through another change. The best QBs aren't afraid to throw a potential INT under the right circumstances. Josh Allen (18 INTs), Jalen Hurts (15), Patrick Mahomes (14) and Tua Tagovailoa (14) all finished in the top five in interceptions last year.

I think I remember Jonathan Owens tackling Mahomes before he left the field and getting a 15-yard penalty. I think the defenders just have to attack him and then at some point he'll stop going around the line and just go out.

If a QB doesn't make a “football move” to get off the field, I think it should be fair to hit him. Otherwise, it's a copycat league and the QBs will start abusing the protections afforded them on the perimeter. I still maintain that Owens did nothing wrong against Mahomes last year. If you mess with the bull…

Curious, what was the Texans' average starting position? With fantastic punts and turnovers, the Texans managed to score points on a tough day.

Houston's average starting position was 41 compared to Green Bay's 22.

Piggybacking on Kevin from Tinton Falls, NJ's question about Mahomes and the fake slide, we were the beneficiary of a similar play that all the talking heads and fans of other teams hated us for: Aaron Rodgers' hard offside count for zero play. It took a few years, but today they seem to have curbed some of it. To Mike's credit, they didn't do it when Rodgers was the “face of the NFL.” Perspective.

I would argue that the two things couldn't be more different. Rodgers manipulates the defense with his cadence. It's an art. He doesn't use the player safety afforded to the QB to his advantage. But as you said, the league has adjusted and no longer allows nearly as many “free spins.” Let's see how they handle the Mahomes situation.

Did anyone else notice the similarity of last weekend's Tucker Kraft TD to the Richard Rodgers TD against Dallas in the 2014 playoff game? We were in the north end zone and saw how tight the fit was. Looked very similar on TV, two great throws.

There are some parallels to the configuration of the secondary, but Kraft's catch was much more impressive to me because Love threw that pass with all his might. Rodgers made a great throw across his body to Richard Rodgers on that touchdown, but the ball wasn't thrown at the same speed. Love's pass of power might have taken off a finger. Impressive bang-bang game.

Mason Crosby kicked his first Lambeau Field FG for the Packers in September 2007… but had to wait a full 12 years later for his first Lambeau Leap. Unfortunately, there was no (easy) way to calculate how many FGs he scored in between at Lambeau, but hopefully Brandon McManus appreciates the fact that he was able to accomplish something that took the leading scorer in Green Bay history 12 years to accomplish . .on his first kick for the team!

McManus certainly does. That was clear enough after the game. His desire to make the Lambeau leap was rooted in an appreciation for the franchise's history.

I really appreciate Mike's response to Phil from Carlsbad, MA on Wednesday II. We, the fans, the press and the team, all know what games are coming up. But like you said, the matchups change from week to week – just look at the 49ers and Bucs after last weekend. It's not always who you play, but when you play them. It looks like the Packers will face that scenario this week with a Jaguars team that should have more confidence from their win in London than they did last week. Agree?

Under no circumstances can Green Bay take the Jaguars for granted, especially after beating New England. Wins are valuable currency in the NFL and it's still early enough in the season to turn things around. I remember the 2012 game between the 4-3 Packers and 1-5 Jaguars in Lambeau, where Jacksonville was more than just a two-touchdown underdog. This game went down to the wire because the Packers allowed the Jags to stay close. My message to this locker room would be that you beat 3/4 of the AFC South. On Sunday, you'll have to look at Jacksonville as the division leader and completing the sweep.

Oh no! Not the dreaded trap game in Jacksonville. These planners are evil, I tell you! Devilish!

It's not a trap. It's just another opportunity for the Packers to show they're as good as we think they are.

Greetings Inbox. Okay, Wes, short and sweet. The Packers win if they…

Get two takeaways and convert them into at least 10 points.
