While I totally agree with your sentiments (on the Giants), it's interesting that several Eagles players were also outraged that Hurts was pulled from the game.
That's a completely separate issue, and I don't blame the Philly players for being miffed. Not at all.

The Packers finished at or near the top of the league in most offensive categories, despite never going up-tempo except at the end of halves. If memory serves, LaFleur stated he wanted to incorporate more of that but the truncated offseason derailed those plans. Given the success of this year's offense, do you believe they will still look to incorporate that in the future?
As a wrinkle or change-up, sure. As a primary concept, no, not the way LaFleur likes to constantly change personnel.

Do you think since the Packers have so many players in the HOF it hurts Butler's chances of getting in? Do voters want to get more teams represented, bringing more interest to fans of all teams to visit? Whether I agree with it or not, it's a business, which means revenue always trumps "fairness."
I don't think that's a factor. Individual opinions differ, but the voters I know are interested solely in honoring the best players, no matter their team(s).

With the bye week can we take a moment to appreciate the fact we got to watch Charles Woodson play football?
Rodgers has called him the best player he's ever played with (and Adams is now in the conversation). Woodson is without peer as the best defensive player I've ever covered. His instincts and ability to impact a game were off the charts.

From Rodgers' second season as a starter through the 2014 season, the Packers were 64-23 (.736) in regular-season games AR started. In the four years after, the Packers were 28-22-1 (.559) in games AR started. And since the coaching change, they are 26-6 (.813). There are many possibilities for the drop-off in the middle: hangover from the NFC Championship loss, lack of talent, or tired schemes. It does not, however, appear to be caused by the diminishing skills of the QB.
If you recall, I said when LaFleur was hired that the mental challenge of mastering a new system might be just what Rodgers needs to maximize what's left in his career. His mind is razor sharp and the challenge might have expanded it and made it sharper yet. But he's credited physical improvements, too, citing how he worked out differently this past offseason, especially with his lower body. There are many angles to this.

The comment on replay standards interested me. I, too, have been bothered by officials swallowing whistles to allow replay when there is a built-in bias to favor the call on the field. I wonder if they could employ two standards: (1) challenges can only be won if indisputable visual evidence is found; and (2) auto-booth reviews are not bound by that higher standard. There still could be times when there is insufficient evidence to change the call on the field.
Stop it. You're making too much sense. Though I believe you're also complicating replay well beyond where the league would want to take it.

Everyone talking about getting Rodgers another ring before he's gone, but nobody's mentioning Mason Crosby. I think it would be great for him to get a second ring, too. Show the man some love.
Trust me, if there's going to be any rallying cry in the locker room with that sort of sentiment, it'll be for getting guys like Marcedes Lewis and David Bakhtiari a ring.

Raven Greene's injury was a huge blow to our defense. We always seemed to be better with his versatility. As a result, we have had to play a bigger personnel package more often. Has this been a blessing in disguise? Or just ascending players getting better?
The bigger personnel being used more often has been matchup-based more than anything. The Packers adjusted better to Raven Greene's injury absence this year than last year, in my opinion, because Adrian Amos became that much more knowledgeable/comfortable in the scheme and more of a leader in his second year here.
