We have to turn our clocks back this weekend? We do not need another hour of 2020. I'm still not over the extra day back in February. Can't we just fast-forward to 2021 and the playoffs? Where's my uber-high-tech remote control? It's laser-powered...
I'm not sure where to start with that, so I won't, even though I did.

Would practices during this part of the season normally be closer to walk-throughs, or is this a result of the high number of players on the injury report?
The latter, combined with the fact the Packers have another game four days after the Vikings contest.

If Team A trades for a player who is in the final year of his contract, and that player subsequently signs with a different team in free agency, does that player factor into Team A's formula for compensatory picks the following year?

What's your favorite Packers vs. Vikings memory? Mine would have to be Week 1 of this season, although that's probably due to recency bias. Here's to hoping my new favorite memory is this coming game!
As far as a game I covered, and I've told this story before, it would have to be the one at Lambeau Field in 2010, when Favre returned a second time. It was a prime-time game, the Packers pulled out a close one, and the intensity in the stadium was palpable. Postgame, I've never heard the "Go Pack Go" chants echo louder through the concourses as everyone exited. They were almost deafening. Going back to a game I just watched on TV, I'd say the 1997 Monday-nighter at the Metrodome. Favre hadn't won in that building yet and the Packers, who were coming off the cathartic home blowout of the Cowboys, dominated and exorcised some purple demons. It was another monkey off his back and started the repeat Super Bowl run.

Follow up from the Mid-Week Chat, if the league does go to a playoff bubble, how will they decide the venue? And if playoff games at Lambeau aren't an option, should we hope for the Rodgers-owned AT&T Stadium?
I don't know how the league would decide, or if it's going to. The mojo choice is obvious.

Excited to see reports that Allen Lazard and Christian Kirksey are designated to return from IR. Do you see the new IR format sticking around? I think the new IR rules are an absolute game-changer, and if nothing else positive comes from this season, at least we got that.
I'm not sure the three-game minimum will become permanent. There are still a handful of guys on the roster who will be inactive on game day every week, so in non-pandemic circumstances I don't think the league will be as concerned with the ability to maintain full rosters at all times. That said, I could see the number of returns from IR increasing (though perhaps not remaining unlimited) with the minimum stint back to 6-8 weeks.

I was surprised when we didn't draft a WR, and we've had one of the most explosive offenses in the league. I was bummed we didn't draft Queen, and it looks like we have strong options with Krys Barnes and Kamal Martin. I was taken aback that we didn't address right tackle early in the draft, and we've had one of the best O-lines in football despite near constant shuffling. Perhaps I'm not cut out for arm-chair GM-ing.
I wonder about plenty of moves or non-moves, too, but I always tell myself to just wait and see what happens.
Michael from Morrison, IL
Thinking way too far ahead here, but when will a decision be made on the date of the Carolina game in Week 15?
The league is supposed to announce those Saturday-Sunday decisions in Weeks 15-16 no later than four weeks prior, so for the Packers-Panthers game, that means shortly before Thanksgiving.

Would you have pulled Blake Snell after only two hits? He seemed to be in control.
I didn't get a chance to answer this the other day because I'd written the column before Game 6, so please indulge me now. It was an incredibly disappointing and head-scratching decision. It robbed the baseball world of a potentially historic performance. No one had struck out nine batters through four innings of a World Series game since Koufax, and Snell was replaced by a guy who had given up runs in six consecutive playoff appearances (now an all-time record seven). Analytics are great for big-picture analysis, but it's malpractice to apply them universally and ignore the singular specifics of a situation. That said, I take nothing away from the Dodgers. They've been a whale of a team the past four years and finally got a well-deserved title.
