10.11.17 - Four & one

• I'll start out bullet style...easiest way to portray random thoughts about the game and season
• Watched the Dal-GB game a second time just for the pure enjoyment...what a shootout!
• Enough cannot be said about AR12; still hard to believe the Packers' have had such greatness at QB since Favre...Only the 49ers can say they've had back-to-back HOFers at QB
• In shootout type games, if the defense can come-up with one or two big plays it can be the difference.  Say what you want about #23 Damarious Randell but that INT return was such a game changer...  I still don't know what to expect from Randell though.  He's very talented (physically) and has good ball skills.  Obviously he's immature...
• I like the Packers' style of offense and how they're playing.  Obviously, AR12 is the key.  
• Lane Taylor...he's becoming my favorite OL but I'd still rather see him at LG than LT
• Aaron Jones...wow!  Now the Packers will have a real nice combo at RB 
• I don't think the lack of game breaking speed at WR will hurt that much; besides, Jordy can still sneak deep on occasion as well as other players (Kendricks, GMo); the consistency of the passing attack has been apparent and will get a little better with time.  
• Maintaining control of the ball is always a good thing; scoring is even better.
• AR12 has a lot of toys at his disposal.  AR12 having 3 TEs to use is very interesting and they've got three that can catch the ball!
• Yeah, Davante Adams is a stud...will Ted pay him Dez money?  Fortunately, the cap goes up next season, Ted will have roll-over $$ to spend on Davante, but will likely have to make decisions regarding Jordy & Cobb's 2018 cap numbers.  It's going to be hard from a cap perspective to pay huge contracts to three WRs...but they might be able to get away with it for one season.  Jordy's probably good for one more short term (e.g., 3 years) contract.  
• Cobb hasn't been worth his contract payout the last couple of seasons but is is definitely valuable when healthy.  Extending Cobb a few seasons for cap relief is an option.
• Whoever said that Mike McCarthy is a stale play caller / Offense Coordinator is clueless.
• There's people out there who think Dom needs to go (i.e., be fired or needs to retire) I'm not one of them.  I'm not saying he's the best DC there is but I'm certain there are worse.  The grass isn't always greener on the other side.  I also prefer to stay with the "3-4" concept.
• There's no doubt coaching plays a very important role in wins & losses but ultimately it's up to the players to make plays vs designed schemes that matters the most.
• The defense needs Kevin King
• I like Josh Hawkins but he's still very, very raw
• I'm still amazed by the finish in Dallas...brilliant throw and catch for the win!
