We heard all offseason how the Packers' corners were the weakness of the team. I think Keisean Nixon heard it, too. Put some respect on his name!

I don't know how many times I have to say it…Give Keisean Nixon a chance and he'll make you look like a genius. Nobody has fought harder for what he's earned than Nixon.

It is wild to see that the addition of one player can suddenly make the Packers' pass rush elite. Is it really just the addition of Micah Parsons that has seemingly made this defense step up so far this year, or is it another year under Jeff Hafley and the defensive scheme that has helped create so much pressure with four? There is no way Jeff Hafley is going to be here long at this rate.

One of the best quotes that didn't make it into my content Thursday night came from receiver Malik Heath. When asked about the defense, the third-year wideout said: "Getting Micah over here, it changed up their whole personality. They're going to get it. They've been running to the ball, but now, like, they're on a whole different level." It's true. The Packers took an already talented defense and gave it a can of Red Bull. That's what it looks like to me.

Jesse from Colorado Springs, CO

This defense is so fun to watch. I'll admit, I am a huge offense guy, I love seeing the scores and Jordan Love heave it downfield. But last game I was so looking forward to our defense. They just play with so much heart I love watching it. GPG.

There's so much beauty in watching a dominant defense work. The Packers kept attacking Thursday night and that relentlessness broke Washington's willpower like it did Detroit's. Considering the two opponents, I don't know if I've seen two better defensive performances from Green Bay's defense in back-to-back games…and within a five-day window.

Samuel from Skokie, IL

We had Nos. 4 and 12 so we always had a chance. I have always thought defense wins championships. My son asked me when the Packers last had a defense this good. I told him 1995. We did well that year. As good as our offense is now, I think this team's signature is the defense. Always having to outscore teams is tough on the nerves. Is this complementary football?

It's the law of 20 points. You keep an opponent under that, you should win. You score more than that, you should win. And the Packers weren't given any freebies. Jayden Daniels protected the ball well. The defense only has one takeaway but still controlled both games. There's still a lot out there for this team.

Benjamin from Bear, DE

Please don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely loving the start to the Packers' season. Here's my observation. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I really don't think the Packers have played a complete game yet and they're still winning easily. What can we expect when the offense and defense are clicking at 100%?

To me, it's not whether the Packers have played a complete game. The bigger story goes back to my previous answer – Green Bay played two great football teams and imposed its will on them. Can the Packers get better? Of course. But they played pretty doggone well against Detroit and Washington. Both wins could have massive tiebreaking ramifications at season's end. Long way to go, but the start is darn promising.

Kyle from St. Charles, MO

I watched the replay at the line of scrimmage of the play where Parsons shot through the line and chased down Daniels looking over his shoulder before being upended by Javon Bullard. Awesome play. What I noticed when freezing frame by frame was how quick Micah's reactions and get-off to that snap were. He was up and going before anyone, offense or defense, had even reacted. It was wild. Glad he's on our side.

The power of explosivity and power. Josh Conerly Jr. and Jeremy McNichols didn't know what hit them.

JD from Madison, WI

Good morning, Wes and Mike. Great start to the season no doubt. Can you tell us just how fast does this defense play in-person? On TV they look faster than I've seen before. Can't wait to see them on turf. First one of five this year is at Dallas. Go Pack Go, zoom-zoom.

The Packers have speed everywhere on defense, but it's most obvious at linebacker. Quay Walker and Edgerrin Cooper are flying around right now at the second level. I should also add a healthy Bullard has been a difference-maker in the box. Packers beat writer Paul Bretl had a great observation as we were waiting to go into the locker room. Watching Hafley's defense feels eerily similar to the offense in Matt LaFleur's second year in 2020. Both units arrived sooner than expected but now the defense is really taking off.

Sean from San Diego, CA

Is Edgerrin Cooper playing in the Matrix? When he is running, everyone else seems to be moving at half-speed.

It's sort of like what I've been saying about Parsons. When you have a player who's as physically gifted as Cooper playing with that much heart, there is no ceiling on what that man can accomplish once he ties everything together.

Steve from Smithfield, NC

Very impressive play by the offensive line. Who would have thought Jordan could go two weeks without having to wash his uniform! And wow! The defense got a fire lit after hearing they couldn't stop the run without Kenny Clark! GPG! I'm having fun!

It takes all 11, right? The Packers are getting the job done on both sides of the ball right now.

Jeffery from Monticello, WI

Hello II, Jordan Love showed he has speed to run the ball so why doesn't Coach LaFleur put in some RPOs and let him keep it sometimes?

Because that's not Love's game, which I actually love (no pun intended). Way too many QBs with navigable speed tuck and run before going through their progressions. Love always keeps his eyes downfield.

Shane from Hooksett, NH

I absolutely love the transition from "very good" defense to "dominant" defense. Likewise, it probably won't be talked about, but I noted Love throwing the ball away when things weren't there instead of forcing a play and risking a turnover. I thought that showed a ton of maturity and, potentially, helped keep the Packers in control of the game. Do you think little details like that made a difference in a game like this?

I don't know what you thought, but it just felt like Love was in total command of that game. He protected the ball well, took some shots downfield and used his legs to extend plays when the situation called for it.

Joe from Swansea, IL

Indubitably, Tucker Kraft had a huge game filled with big plays. But I submit we might be overlooking one of the biggest – his 8-yard catch on third-and-6 in the TD drive where the Packers had a 17-10 lead in the fourth quarter. Nice to see Jordan Love's security blanket have his biggest game on the national stage.

Tucker Kraft is the guy. He is that man. His talent is only matched by his toughness and resolve.

Jack from New York, NY

Great start out of the gate Pack Nation! I am really impressed with what Savion Williams brings to the table. It was great to see him run that wildcat play for a nice gain. It's a bummer to see Jayden Reed get hurt, but could you see Savion filling in for him?

A direct snap to a rookie receiver motioning behind center goes for 16 yards. Then, LaFleur calls a sweep to another rookie wideout, Matthew Golden, on the next play behind an unbalanced set. LaFleur never wants credit, but he called a helluva series when his team needed it the most. And boy are Williams and Golden tailormade for this offense.

Scott from Palos Park, IL

Malik Heath obviously had a tremendous catch along the sidelines. With Reed out for a while catches like that can help get Malik more snaps. The more important observation to me was what appeared to be at least two occasions where his downfield blocking played a big role in helping the team get extra yardage. Did Heath's blocking grade out as well last night as it appeared watching from my couch?

It feels like every time Heath gets overlooked, he makes a play that grabs everyone's attention. In that same vein, there's a lot about Heath's all-around game that goes unspoken. He is a tall, physical receiver who does the dirty work without complaint, same as Allen Lazard once did.

Hal from Lanesboro, MN

I'm wondering if, given how good special teams looked in Week 1 and the relatively poorer performance on Thursday night, if the loss of Bo Melton to injury has any impact on the level of teams' performance?

Melton isn't easily replaced. The Packers had to mix their personnel on the core-four units without No. 16 available. Like Heath, Melton does so many things well that go unnoticed. It's a good experience for the young guys, but certainly it would help to get Melton back out there soon.

Alex from Bethany, CT

What a great start to the season. Despite not having two preferred starters on the O-line, the offense was good enough against a seasoned Washington front seven. If Aaron Banks is back for the next game but Zach Tom can't go, do you think LaFleur and Adam Stenavich would look to move Jordan Morgan to RT instead of Anthony Belton or Darian Kinnard?

For all the cross-training Morgan did during training camp, I don't recall him lining up at right tackle this summer. Meanwhile, Belton played right tackle almost exclusively in camp and finished Thursday's game there.

Thomas from Cedar Rapids, IA

As always, health will be one of the biggest factors going forward. We got through Week 2 with two starting O-linemen out and did it with flying colors. Hopefully they are both back after a mini-bye. If there is an injury silver-lining, it's that Jayden Reed's foot will have time to heal. Can we assume he is designated to return status? And does it look like Christian Watson will miss the minimum number of required games?

It's tough seeing Reed go down. He was battling through so much already. However, this is a chance for the third-year wideout to press reset and hopefully come back 100% for the stretch run. The Packers are gonna need him. I have no update on Watson other than his window to return from injured reserve opens after Dallas.

Randy from Carrollton, TX

"Let the refs have some other-colored flag they can throw." Why don't they just use two different colored cards, and make the ball rotund, and make everyone run around is shorts with no pads? We could even call it futeball. Sorry, I just couldn't resist. That one's for Vic. Seriously though, I like the concept of the idea and could see it applied in other ways too!

Do they make referee flags in invisibility cloak? Maybe the NFL could try that for its next "Emphasis of the Month."

Paul from Ledgeview, WI

Wes, when the Packers come back to work will they have the opportunity to make the corrections from the Commanders before turning the page to Cleveland, or will the focus be all Cleveland upon return? What challenges will the Browns present which could upend the Packers' momentum? What are the seeds of an upset?

They'll review the tape like they always do before turning the page to Cleveland, which has a championship-caliber defense despite some major questions on offense. I'll tune in for Sunday's game with Baltimore. I'm sure most, if not all, the Packers' players and coaches will do the same.

Douglas from Johnson Creek, WI

I was wondering in the first half if the goal posts had magnets in them. Just another reason for lasers, am I right?

There would've been some charred leather, that's for sure.

Donna from New Auburn, WI

A few comments. I was at Lambeau Field for the first two games. The crowd silenced the many (too many) Lions fans and then impressed the national audience with the Thursday "winter white" display. The place was just electric. A shout out to the announcer who urges the crowd to cheer on the team and pleads for silence when the Packers are on offense. My favorite saying is when the opponent has third down and he says "lookie here, third-and-long; let's get loud." This team might be the real thing.

There may be nobody more critical of Gold Package seat-holders than I have been in recent years, but they showed up Thursday night. A hat tip to my friend Liv Hoffmann for helping me come to that realization. Seriously, that atmosphere was everything that's great about Green Bay football and gives me hope for the Packers having a true home-field advantage in marquee games this season.

Calvin from Livingston, MT

Hey guys, the first NFL game I ever watched was with my dad and it was Green Bay vs. Detroit. My dad loved Brett Favre and that made me love him. Fan ever since. My dad passed away at the beginning of the week, but before he did, we were able to watch Green Bay vs. Detroit again. Tell the fellas thanks for the win. On a different note, Parsons seems to truly be enjoying the love he's getting from us. That is awesome to see.

Our deepest condolences to you and your family, Calvin. I'm glad you were able to share that final moment with him last weekend. He had the best seat in the house on Thursday.

Dave from Edina, MN

This team looks amazing, but let's keep perspective. They most likely won't go undefeated. There will be losses. I think this team is playoff bound, but the ball doesn't always bounce your direction (exempli gratia, the game that shall not be named). Can we all agree to just enjoy the ride? I'm loving it so far. Mike and Wes, thank you for all you do!

That's sage advice, but there's good reason to be excited if this team can stay healthy. Because the Packers are doing a few things I've never seen before. Have a great weekend.
