The Inbox is far and away the best sports read on the inter-webs! Thank you so much for all the X's and O's, pre and postgame breakdowns, sarcasm, and wit! I chuckle, scowl, shake and nod my head daily as I digest the season's quest from the best! Where can I get one of these shirts? Inbox On fellas!

I'll have my people (Spoff) talk to Tom's people.

Did DeShone Kizer win the lottery? Being in an environment that has produced some quality QBs, being able to presumably take the majority of the first-team reps during practice, and being able to develop without pressure of winning each week must be somewhat of a relief for him, especially after his last year with the Browns.

It's a rare opportunity for a young quarterback during the regular season. It's somewhat beneficial for Tim Boyle, who is getting more No. 2 reps than he'd otherwise see. This is a great environment for a young QB to develop even when Rodgers is taking all the starter reps, but you can't simulate the experience Kizer is getting right now.

Hi Insiders! Love the column. One of the key principles in sports psychology is "locus of control," meaning that as an athlete you must only focus on those elements that you can internalize and influence. By my estimation, everything we've seen from our team is controllable and therefore within our ability to improve. Officiating is external and not controllable. We're playing hard, we're in on every play and I have a really good feeling about this team. What's your sense about where we're at?

You just have to stay focused on the game ahead of you and not what happened last weekend. Buffalo is the only game that matters now. Sunday was tough, but the Packers have to put it behind them and not let it snowball. That's what winning teams do.

Risk in overusing Aaron Jones? Didn't you scold me for suggesting we not risk Matthews playing too much because we want our best players on the field because they give us the best chance of winning? All this talk about reps. These are million-dollar athletes playing a game once a week. They will be fine, and if not, next man up. If you are not using them to win now, you won't have the playoffs to worry about them being over used anyway. Jones is our best back, statistically. Why keep him on a bench?

I have a hard time recalling whom I previously scolded. There have been so many. Also, I'm not sure how many teams have won Super Bowls with the Week 3 mentality of "they will be fine, and if not, next man up." Typically, you want your playmakers on the field in January. I don't get why the concept of "the long game" is so difficult to understand. Jones hadn't played in an actual game for two weeks and was coming off a hamstring injury before that. Let's see what the Packers have planned for him Sunday.

Is it possible the league looks at extremity injuries, even as serious as a torn ACL, as the better alternative to multiple concussions? If so, I see where they're coming from; walking away from football with a bad shoulder or knee is much preferable to walking away with brain damage. The rule changes in the last few years seem to have made it easier for rookies or backups (Fitzpatrick) to dominate (sell tickets) when a star inevitably gets injured. Should I get out my tin foil hat?

The NFL wants to minimize concussions and rightfully so. I just don't get how "scooping and driving" or whatever is contributing to that. In my opinion, neither Kirk Cousins nor Alex Smith was in a compromising position on those hits from Matthews. Unfortunately, William Hayes was when he tried to contort his body in an unnatural fashion to avoid landing on Derek Carr with his full body weight.

I'm excited for Clay's first official sack of the season. Here's to hoping the ensuing celebration is him imitating tucking the QB into bed.
