Kudos to the entire offensive line but a special shout out to Lucas Patrick. I want 11 Lucas Patrick on my team, any team. What an unsung warrior! He was fighting his butt off on every single play to the last second. It was a privilege to watch.
No NFL team has won a Super Bowl with 53 first-round picks. You need Lucas Patrick, Rasul Douglas, De'Vondre Campbell, Allen Lazard and Corey Bojorquez. Patrick may not be a "starter" on the team's (unofficial) depth chart but he's as important as anyone in that starting five. He will not quit. Ever.

Per Jennifer's comment, what more does Matt LaFleur need to do to get serious consideration for COY – walk on water? Speaking of which, I really think that God must be a Packer fan because there may have been some divine intervention on that last play.
It comes with the territory of being the head coach of the Packers. I touched on this two years ago when the AP voters selected John Harbaugh over LaFleur for Coach of the Year. Again, LaFleur isn't losing sleep over it. In his first 40 games as the Packers' head coach, LaFleur has won more times (33) than any coach in the Super Bowl era. I promise that is all he cares about – winning football games, preferably the granddaddy of them all.

How good can this team be? A 7-1 team that talks more about the mistakes they made, the points left on the field and how much work needs to be done speaks volumes.
As good as they want to be. I mean, it's all out there for them right now. The Packers still have a tough November slate ahead but they carry with them the knowledge they can play with the NFL's best even when they aren't close to full strength. As players return, they must continue to grow but this team's mental toughness cannot be questioned.

Was that a legal hit on Kylin Hill during the kickoff return? The viscousness of that tackle makes me doubt my love of the game.
It was completely legal, yet brutal. As I tweeted, it's those types of plays that made me happy the NFL moved kickoffs up 5 yards several years back. After watching both Hill and Jonathan Ward get carted/stretchered off, I'd be cool with maybe moving kickoffs up another 5 yards.

There was a great little video last night of Tongan limping with his hand on a trainer's shoulder. One of those shots that says such a lot about the game and its players. Wishing Big Bob all the best.
I think that's the hardest part of this whole deal. Tonyan has done it the right way. He is a team-first guy who became a self-made star last season. You could hear in LaFleur's voice how much Tonyan's injury affected him and undoubtedly that locker room. Tonyan still has a lot of good football ahead of him, and hopefully in Green Bay. Until then, it's up to Lewis, Josiah Deguara and perhaps Lazard to help fill the hole Tonyan's absence creates in the offense.

Is it true Coach LaFleur is 26-1 when the team is leading at halftime?
Correct…and 25-0 under LaFleur in the regular season when the Packers win the turnover battle.
Ron from Superior, WI
Can the league enhance the fine on the player with the late hit? It was not only late but he drove Rodgers into the ground.
Jordan Phillips needs to have a few zeros wiped off his game check. For all the ticky-tacky QB penalties we've seen this season, hits like that remind me why the NFL is having to enforce it the way that it is.
Graydon from Menomonie, WI
How does playing on Thursday night change the team's schedule (practice, prep, etc.) for next week's game?
Besides rehab and weightlifting, players are in the midst of a three-day break. The team will get back together Monday for an extra practice day and then shift back into its normal routine Tuesday. And then it's onto KC…
