Wait a minute. A box of cookies to the office and not only can I get a submission posted but I can declare my own fan type? These new NCAA rules are getting out of hand.

And once again we're off, so we might as well get going.

Morning guys, I've been in a business when people are being made redundant and it's not fun. You guys go through it every year watching young men being told they never made the cut. The feel around the place must be quite dark?

It's not a fun couple of days. I'll be honest, I lay as low as I can while roster decisions are being made. If I can work from home, I do. If I'm in the office, I don't venture elsewhere in the building because I'd rather not have an awkward encounter. It's not enjoyable for anyone involved, and I'm not even involved.

I don't get all the perseverating about how many players to keep at each position. We should keep 11 offensive line, 4 RB, 4 TE, 7 WR and 3 QB on offense, 9 defensive line, 7 linebackers, 7 cornerbacks, and 6 safeties. Then add 3 specialists. Since math isn't allowed in II, it all works. So, are we going to break the undrafted streak this year?

With your 61-man roster, I doubt it.

Did the game help the brass decide the backup QB and the kicker? Or are the coaches/GM engaged in a spirited game of rock-paper-scissors at 1265?

As I wrote Saturday afternoon in my game recap, there appears to be a ton of uncertainty with regard to backup QB and kicker. The fact that with both spots LaFleur mentioned looking at all possibilities around the league, that felt significant, at least in the moment. What they do very well may depend on what other options present themselves.

If QB is the most important position, can I argue that the second most important is the kicker? We just can't go through another season holding our breath on short field goals and extra points. It's not fair to the offense and can make a big difference in the win-loss record over the course of a season.

Couldn't agree more. At this point, I don't know what the answer is.

Mason Crosby had a lull in FG success rate, but the Packers stuck with him while he figured it out. There was obviously a longer history on which to base that decision. Without that much history, what factors are playing into the decision whether to stick with Anders Carlson?

Development and potential upside, because he's still so young. But there's no guarantee. It was simpler last year, when the Packers were making a seismic transition to a new QB and a bunch of young offensive personnel, to ride out the bumps with a young kicker as well. Unfortunately, it hurt them in a game nobody ever envisioned them reaching. Now there are visions, clear ones, of such games so the calculus has additional complications. At least to me. Greg Joseph is more of a known commodity, a developed veteran. But after a really strong start to camp, he faded, then recovered in the preseason finale. Ideally, in an all-offseason-long competition for an important job, one of two things occurs. Either there's a clear winner, because one guy performs so well he leaves no doubt, or both perform to a level that leaves no reason for regret when it's time to decide and move forward. I don't believe either happened here, so I'll repeat, I don't know what the answer is.

Interesting preseason. Dominant win, debacle in Denver, dominant win. We know it's a week-to-week league, and these games don't mean anything. But I get the sense the overall roster is deeper and better, and this defense is playing with aggression and purpose. Too many good players is a nice problem to have, and it bodes well. Do you agree?

From the first unit on down, the players have bought into the defensive play style the coaches want. That was clearly on display Saturday. On the overall roster, I think the Packers have a surplus of solid players at some positions, but not across the board. Depending on who stays, who goes, and who returns to the p-squad, I could see several depth competitions continuing throughout the season in practice.

Double-digit wins sandwich a double-digit loss in preseason. Does margin of victory tell the coaching staff and football ops people something significant in deciding roster and practice-squad spots, or are they focused on other aspects of the performances?

They're grinding the tape and evaluating how players handled their individual assignments and matchups without regard to what the scoreboard says. Not everybody played well in a 30-7 victory, just as not everybody played poorly in a 27-2 loss.

CJ from Kinderhook, NY

I do not want to be in ML and BG's shoes, a lot of hard decisions to be made after that performance Saturday. Every player in a position battle seemed to make a big play.

It was pretty cool to see. Bo Melton, Malik Heath, Kristian Welch, Arron Mosby, Kalen King and others all gave the decision-makers plenty to consider.

Curtis from Moreno Valley, CA

Ladies and gentlemen, it's TIME! I have a feeling a certain individual will make the team after coming out of nowhere vs the Ravens. Tuesday is gonna be very interesting.

Always is. If there's one bubble player I didn't think would make the team but might've played his way onto the roster Saturday, it's Arron Mosby.

Ben from Guffey, CO

The draft pick no one is talking about that has impressed me the last couple weeks? Jacob Monk. Obviously I don't know what the coaches are grading assignment-wise, but boy does he often put the opposing fella in the ground.

I've mentioned Monk multiple times since the preseason games began. There's a lot to like about him.
