Echoing a Vic-ism, that funny-shaped ball takes funny bounces sometimes. What seems to differentiate the good teams from the great teams is their ability to make the ball bounce their way, such as the punt preceding the safety (great job by Shields), and the forced fumble on that last kickoff return. Tip your hat to Gurley for coming down with the tipped ball at the end of the first half. I look forward to the Packers learning and growing from going toe-to-toe with an undefeated team.

Like I said last week, to be the man, you have to beat the man. Unfortunately, J.J. Dillon grabbed the Packers' ankle when they hit the ropes and the Rams managed to get out of town by the skin of their teeth. The Packers have to keep showing they are the team they looked like for much of Sunday.

Someone mentioned yesterday we went toe-to-toe with the Rams, who are as solid as it gets. Given the youth of the players we relied on, do you see our young players giving us an edge in a rematch? I know anything can happen in these next several weeks, but if these teams play again in January, it seems to me our guys – especially rookies – will be even better by then. They may have a higher ceiling than older Rams players who may have already reached their plateau. What do you think?

That's historically been the M.O. of Packers teams in the McCarthy era, to play their best football down the stretch. If the cornerbacks stay healthy, I like the secondary's chances during the second half. Jaire Alexander, Kevin King and Josh Jackson are a big reason for optimism moving forward. I can't say with certainty how a rematch would play out, but those young guys would be better for what they went through Sunday at the Coliseum.

A lot of comments about that being the best or most complete game by the Packers. I think "so far" should be added to those comments because I truly believe that wasn't their ceiling.

It better not be. As Clay Matthews said after the game, the Packers have to keep that energy up despite the loss and channel it towards a much-needed road win in Foxborough.

Why did we not try to take time off the clock when we had the lead with six minutes left? The Rams were vulnerable to the run and their pass rush was having some success against our O-line.

Because the Packers didn't complete the first down. Thanks for your question.

I owe an apology to special-teams coordinator Ron Zook. After the game I commented he should be fired for not requiring Montgomery to take a touchback. I was wrong, he apparently told Montgomery to do just that. There have to be consequences, Montgomery needs to be gone. Either cut or traded. That will definitely send a message that the coaches are in charge.

How big of you.

So impressed with the defense on Sunday. Of course, upset by the outcome, but if the defense continues to play our next few games like they did Sunday, I see us winning the division. As you so rightly point out, the other teams in the division have yet to play each other. Three of the four teams all have three losses. May not be a 10-win season, but all we need is to win the division.

There is still a lot of football left to be played, but the defense definitely did its job Sunday. I know there was some disappointment afterwards, but that unit gave Green Bay a chance to win the game against arguably the best team in football.

Robert from Seattle, WA

Todd Gurley doesn't run it in at the end not because Troy Aikman thinks he is a nice guy, but because he knew that if they missed the extra point, we still had a few seconds left being eight down.
