Just curious.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A camera operator, who presumably worked for the league because she said afterward the NFL called her, was trying to talk quietly on her phone while LaFleur was answering a question. It doesn&#8217;t matter if that call is from Roger, you don&#8217;t answer it in the middle of a press conference.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cindy from Minneapolis, MN<\/p>\n<p>Chris Berman refers to the NFC North as the NFC Norris; now that the NHL doesn&#8217;t use it anymore, maybe we can?<\/p>\n<p><strong>I appreciate the sentiment, but when the Bears get their new stadium built, three of the four teams in the division will play indoors. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;ll warrant any special name, unfortunately.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the column of comments by coaches and coordinators, Bisaccia mentioned &#8220;three phases&#8221; and &#8220;five phases.&#8221; What are they?<\/p>\n<p><strong>In special teams, the &#8220;four core&#8221; are the punt and kickoff return\/coverage units. Then the additional two beyond that are field goal protection\/block.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Susan from Santa Cruz, CA<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure Stephie Rae from Flowery Branch was confused about what was on the Madden patch, rather than why Madden was honored. Personally, it took me awhile to see Madden&#8217;s face in it. Once I spotted his face, it was obvious. But, I showed the pictures of the patch to friends (without context) and no one could figure out who was depicted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;ve never had any trouble seeing it, but it&#8217;s like one of those positive\/negative space things, I guess.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Detlef from Breitenstein, Germany<\/p>\n<p>Where can I find official gamebooks from the games? Packers.com provided them in the past for all games but I cannot find them anymore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the desktop site, go to<\/strong> <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.packers.com\/schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the schedule page<\/a><strong>, and then click on the Game Center button for any completed game. In the scoreboard box at the top of the page, in the lower right corner, is a link to Gamebook PDF. You can find it there.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think LaFleur proved he isn&#8217;t a conservative coach. The fourth-down calls all had an enormous effect on the outcome of the game. The last one was unexpected but the TV announcers said the analytics were 50\/50. Would you prefer an Eagles victory to move into first or Bears win and control your destiny by beating them twice to possibly win the division and have a better conference standing at the end of the year?<\/p>\n<p><strong>I get where you&#8217;re coming from, but I&#8217;m always focused on winning the division first. Whatever helps the Packers do that is where I lean. But either way, there will be a good result for Green Bay. That&#8217;s two eight-win teams, and both can&#8217;t get their ninth win this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In response to John from Illinois: Spoff and Hod, today I am thankful for all you do, pithy headlines and all.
