The last catch by Robert Tonyan showed us our tight end for many years to come. He is getting better and better, and with Adams on the outside it should open up things for Rodgers, especially in the postseason.
Speaking of natural, Tonyan is just a machine out there – the play-action rollout late that's been mostly unstoppable this year, his chip block that bowled over three Lions and of course his penchant for finding open holes in the red zone. Tonyan is the one.

Which Packers do you think are starting to show they should be AP All-Pro? I see Aaron Rodgers, David Bakhtiari, Davante Adams, and Jaire Alexander all getting in either first or second team. Elgton Jenkins? Za'Darius Smith? Perhaps Corey Linsley? Though I'm sure his injury hurts his chances. What say you?
It's so tough to be named All-Pro but Rodgers, Bakhtiari and Adams need to be. I won't accept anything else. Alexander has a case for garnering individual recognition but he kind of fits in that Darrelle Revis category, where he's not going to lead the NFL in INTs necessarily because QBs simply don't throw at him that often. And obviously, you know Z's feelings on being "snubbed."

Rodgers has more TD passes than JK Scott has punts. That bodes well for the playoffs. But that defense...change my mind.
That's the No. 1 sign your offense is healthy and producing.

After the placekicker issues the last couple of weekends, a comment rather than a question. In addition to the quarterback over the past 30 years or so, we have been blessed with placekickers. From Chris Jackie, Ryan Longwell, Mason Crosby (and one season Dave Rayner) we have avoided many heartbreaks with these talented men. Many teams have seen a lot of different players go through that position.
We talk so much about how Packers fans need to be appreciative of having back-to-back Hall of Famers at QB but one thing that often gets overlooked is the stability the Packers have had at kicker over the last 25 years. Sometimes kickers get rattled and knocked off their game when adversity hits. That's never been an issue with Crosby. He continues to only get better, even in Year 14.

If they still give out game balls, I would think Mason Crosby would get it not only for the long field goal but the tackle that led to only a field goal.
That, too. He's always been a willing tackler – sometimes too willing. Crosby has perfected the art of rolling into the returner's legs to trip him or at least slow him down.

I thought Tavon Austin looked super explosive. He definitely should be a weapon for the rest of the season.
LaFleur lamented not getting Austin more opportunities but it was an encouraging start for the eighth-year veteran. He not only looked natural on the jet motions but it also struck me how comfortable he is fielding punts.

How does the Packers' daily schedule change this week with a Saturday game?
Nothing too crazy. Monday and Tuesday (player off day) are the same. Wednesday and Thursday are just more condensed. Perhaps they don't practice in pads. I lost track of how many they have left.

Do you see any potential "boosts" on the horizon? This could be either from players returning from IR/COVID or younger players who still have unrealized upside? If so, from where/when do you see this coming? Thanks.
Thankfully, the Packers no longer have anyone on reserve/COVID-19 after AJ Dillon's activation. Corey Linsley, Billy Winn and Tyler Ervin are eligible to return for the regular-season finale against the Bears.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Aaron Jones keeping his streak of uncalled facemask penalties going. There was no replay, but in real time his head got jerked back pretty hard on that first-quarter run.
For whatever reason, Jones gets no respect on those plays. Maybe it's the Oakley visor keeping their hands out of his eyes.
Dick from Oshkosh, WI
The offense has been cooking and it's been so fun to watch, but wondering if there is a reason the RBs haven't been getting as many receptions/attempts in the passing game?
I think there are two reasons for that. First, they haven't run as many two-RB packages over the last month with AJ Dillon and Tyler Ervin out. The Packers also have been using more empty sets. It's not impossible for Aaron Rodgers to target the running back in that personnel grouping but he's not usually the first or second read.
