There seems to be a growing consensus that Rasheed Walker has emerged from the season-long competition as our No. 1 left tackle. What about the same competition at right guard? Do you see a clear favorite yet between Jon Runyan and Sean Rhyan, or do we still need two games to sort that out? Happiest of holidays to you and Mike!

I've been impressed with Rhyan. He's shown improved fundamentals and the power to move defensive tackles. At the same time, Jon Runyan has amassed a lot of experience and done good things for this offense, too. I think the Packers have handled things the right way, giving opportunities to both Rhyan and Yosh Nijman. It also gives the opponent another variable it must account for.

I don't know how NFL teams' "cap gurus" do it. I've been trying to determine where the Packers stand after the 2023 season as it relates to the Aaron Rodgers money coming off the books. Simply put, where do the Packers stand going into next year's free-agency period? My head's still spinning. Thank you!

I was digging around on Spotrac a couple days ago and left more confused than I started. We'll have to revisit that after the season. All I know for sure is the Packers have a substantial amount of "dead money" coming off the cap that should help lighten the 2024 load.

How did so many teams miss on Brock Purdy?

The NFL Draft is an entrance exam, not a graduation ceremony.

Rick from Trempealeau's question about losses you were glad to be part of got me thinking back to that 2015 game in Arizona. As a fan of just about every sport, I don't think I've ever spent the next day smiling about a loss before and never since. That next morning, I was just happy to be a fan of football, period. That brings me to asking the reverse of that question. Are there losses that are just so bad you can't forget them? The Seahawks playoff loss and the Fail Mary sure top my list.

I never re-watched the 2014 NFC Championship Game. Considering it's been nine years and I've still yet to cover a Super Bowl, I doubt I ever will. I know I've said it before in this column, but the thing about that Green Bay/Arizona playoff game in 2015 is the outcome didn't match the story. It's the only game I've ever categorized that way because Green Bay did more to win that contest than it did lose. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. Sadly, that was also the last game of James Jones' career. It was an absolutely maddening game to analyze on a newspaper deadline.

You know, Spoff, Bob Uecker isn't going to be on the air forever, as much as we all want that. What I'm saying is, there's still time to get your play-by-play chops up to par. Hopefully LOTS of time, of course. Don't you know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy? Larrivee has some pull somewhere, doesn't he?

The dream would be short-lived, I fear. In the heat of the moment, I've witnessed too much sodium chloride in Mike's baseball language. The FCC would take Spoff off the air after a week.

We're looking forward to a Packers win this weekend, but our trip to Florida means we'll be streaming the audio and following the live blog. I've only followed the live blog while also watching on TV in the past so this will be a new experience. Thanks for doing the blog each week, and for all that both of you (and the folks diligently working to support you) throughout the year. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Go Pack Go!

I made a crack in the office about how the largely regional broadcast of this game likely will result in big blog business for Spoff…just in time for his contract renegotiations.
