Wes, this is just a prediction for Monday night. Jordan Love goes for a TD off a naked bootleg.

Heard it here first.

Tom from West Salem, WI

The keys to this game are simple. Stop Saquon Barkley, stop Jalen Hurts, stop their WRs, protect Love, run for 150. Easy right?

That and scoring in the red zone pretty much covers it.

John from Stevens Point, WI

It's supposed to be unseasonably cold for the Philly game. Is this Packer team built to compete in cold weather like the Packer teams constructed by Ron Wolf and Ted Thompson?

I think so, especially with Josh Jacobs in the backfield. The Eagles are built for cold weather, too, but you gotta own these elements if you're gonna consistently win in Green Bay. It ain't fun playing in Philly, but the Packers finally have the Eagles on their turf. Make it count.

Ray from West Des Moines, IA

The article Wes wrote on Micah Parsons' reaction to Marshawn Kneeland's passing really impressed me. Parsons revealed a lot about himself and the person he wants to be. The article was respectful and extremely well-written.

Appreciate you checking it out. I appreciated Parsons offering a few powerful words and perspective in the wake of Kneeland's passing. It's an important reminder life is not easy. We're all fighting battles few know about. Keeping Kneeland's family and loved ones in my prayers.

Jack from Black Mountain, NC

Wes wrote perhaps the most important article of the year about Parsons and Kneeland. Would you please write a feature article about the Packers' counseling staff and the mental health care provided to the team?

For sure, that's definitely something we could take a look at. In the meantime, our Taylor Rogers recently spoke with Packers director of performance psychology and team behavioral health clinician Dr. Chris Carr on his “Packers POV” podcast earlier this season. Their conversation is well worth your time.

Terry from Elroy, WI

I remember when Luke Musgrave was a rookie, he looked dominant in the first game or two (I don't recall when his injury occurred and I'm too lazy to go back to check). At the time, I thought to myself, "This guy looks like he could be the next Mark Chmura." Based on that (limited) sample size, I know Musgrave has the talent to tilt the field on Monday night (and thereafter).

I don't want to play the comparison game, but Musgrave has a clean canvas from which to work the rest of the way. I'm excited to see what he does with it.

Jim from Hudsonville, MI

Regarding offensive line continuity: Although some of our inconsistencies come from subbing in players due to injury, couldn't you also argue that some comes from rotating healthy players? Seems to me we're just complicating an already difficult situation. GPG.

Generally, I'm in favor of the rotations. That's how Elgton Jenkins, Jon Runyan and Sean Rhyan were all afforded their first consistent snaps in the NFL. That said, Rhyan and Jordan Morgan have each seen their share of fair snaps now. Maybe there is something to be said for sticking with one and allowing the other to settle into that sixth OL spot. But that's for the coaching staff to decide.

Chase from Diamond Springs, CA

We keep talking about continuity of the starting lineup (I understand the O-line is a little different), but I always go back to that 2010 season. That team faced a lot of adversity, and it didn't suddenly overcome those injury challenges and were all good for the playoffs. That team leveraged the experience and depth that it learned to work with in the most important game of the season...to win it all. Struggling at things while winning isn't the worst place to be...but there is a deadline.

I think it's more than just a little different, Chase. It's at the crux of the argument. Looking at 2010, four offensive linemen – Chad Clifton, Josh Sitton, Scott Wells and Daryn Colledge – started every game together that season. Bryan Bulaga stepped in for an injured Mark Tauscher and started the final 16. There may be a good argument in there somewhere, but I don't reckon the Super Bowl year is a proper muse when discussing the O-line.

Ben from Cripple Creek, CO

The weird thing is that AQ Shipley has been high on DEN's OL earlier in the season. I just hope that means that any line can have a day, and hopefully ours trends to good days as the season wears along. Usually, the OL plays their best toward the end of season. Just gotta hope for more continuity with less injuries.

The Broncos looked much better than Las Vegas, so it was probably unfair of me to lump them into the same pile. Progress begins with recognizing the need for improvement. The Packers are very self-aware in that regard. It's just stacking small victories from now until the end of the season.

Brad from Crofton, MD

So many national pundits are bashing the Packers for their role (Mark Murphy) introducing banning of the tush push, which of course, didn't pass. But it seems they were a year ahead of the curve with its likely banishment this next offseason. What do you guys think?

I'd prefer to keep my comments to a minimum, especially today…but I feel like Murphy and the Packers spoke the words most were thinking.

Sue from Three Lakes, WI

Two thoughts on our TE situation. If we need a blocking tight end, maybe Marcedes Lewis from Denver's practice squad? Luke Musgrave has an opportunity to make himself a boatload of money going forward. May not be by the Packers but somewhere else. Here's hoping he does it.

Nobody loves Lewis more than I do – well, maybe Matt LaFleur – but John FitzPatrick has done a nice job in that role over the past year. He also provides a little more in the passing game. Also, I can't imagine Denver would just let 'Cedes walk out the door. He only has one elevation left, so I expect Lewis will be signed to the Broncos' 53 soon.

Bruce from Travelers Rest, SC

No question, simply a statement. It is a pleasure to watch Matthew Stafford throw a football.

It's also one of the rare examples of a trade where there was no "loser." Both teams benefitted greatly from that deal. Matthew Stafford didn't just win a Super Bowl in the Rams. He's building a true legacy in L.A.

Mark from Great Meadows, NJ

GM, can you name the biggest win under Matt LaFleur? I'm getting concerned that he's a very good regular-season coach but is unable to win big games. He seems to get outcoached by better teams/coaches when it really counts. I feel like he makes very few adjustments at halftime and instead sticks with his game plan – trying to make it work as opposed to changing the game plan. I may be missing something here, but I ask again, what is the biggest game ML has won?

I mean, the man's won 75 NFL games. There's been a few big ones in there, including the Packers becoming the first No. 7 seed to beat a 2 since the playoff expansion less than two years ago. That was during the same 2023 season in which Green Bay beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. In the postseason, the Packers routed the Los Angeles Rams in the 2020-21 NFC playoffs. He guided Green Bay to a 37-10 rout of the Minnesota Vikings to clinch homefield advantage in 2021. If your standard for a "big game" is strictly Super Bowls, then you have 35 people over the past 68 years who meet the qualifications. And who is GM?

Billy from Sioux Falls, SD

Of course, we all love Packers here, but in the NFC North, besides the Lions, there is now the revitalized Vikings and streaking Chicago posting Ws. Any thoughts on who will finish last in the NFC North?

Whoever struggles to keep pace in the best division in football. From first to fourth, it's gonna be a race to the finish line in the North.

Kurth from Orange County, CA

When was the last time that the Packers and Eagles met on a Monday night in Lambeau Field?

The Packers have a storied past with the Eagles on Monday Night Football. The last MNF game at Lambeau against Philadelphia came during Ahman Green's historic 224-yard performance in a 17-14 loss on Nov. 10, 2003. The last MNF encounter between the two teams was a 27-13 Packers victory on Nov. 28, 2016, which is where "Run the table" began.

DB from Wausau, WI

Hello Insiders! I did it, it felt weird, but I rooted for the Giants this Sunday...and they let me down...now I feel like I should go jump in the shower and wash this filth off. At least the Ravens came through for us! No worries though, let's take care of the Eagles and make our own destiny. GO PACK GO!

It's a shame that Jaxson Dart got injured. I think the Giants eek that one out if he's in the game. The Bears remind me a lot of last year's Packers team. They're beating the teams they need to beat (sometimes minus style points) and winning gritty. They could ride that wave right into the playoffs.

Shannon from Ovilla, TX

The Bears are lucky or the Giants are unlucky? Or a bit of both? Amazing how one injury turned that game around. It will be interesting to see Dart's availability next week. Beat the Eagles!

In a league where every team is striving for full consistency, the Giants are wildly the opposite. But they're also scary for that same reason. They've beaten the Eagles and shown they can play with anybody. The problem is you don't know which Giants team you're gonna get.

John from Dakota Dunes, SD

You'll find a question in here someplace. Being in the Vikings dead zone here in SoDak, I opted to listen to the Packers broadcast on Sirius XM. It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to listen to Wayne, Larry and John call the game. They rose and fell with every play, and I could feel their disappointment at final. I'm not familiar with any other radio crew other than the Viking whiners. Can you think of another team's radio crew with the knowledge and fervor of our maestros?

They pretty much take the cake. Literally, I was thinking earlier this week about the countless number of times I've listened to Wayne and Larry provide the soundtrack to some of the great highlights in Packers history. They are two of the best at their craft and John has been a wonderful addition.

John from Tucson, AZ

In the Panthers game, the last play they ran with I think 10 seconds left on the clock. Could not the Packers have instead of tackling him kept him running down the field and run time out before they could call a time out? Seems to me the scrum could've been used to our advantage to end the game on a tie.

How long do you think it was gonna take for Rico Dowdle to run 31 yards to the end zone?

Sherman from Eureka, CA

What steps did the lowly Saints take that the Packers didn't which enabled them to handily beat the Carolina Panthers this week?

They stopped Dowdle and won the red-zone battle. Period.

Mark from Minneapolis, MN

Condolences to the entire Tagliabue family. Much of the success of today's NFL seems to reflect the leadership of Paul Tagliabue. There are goals for global expansion for the NFL, but before that there was room for growth in the U.S. Paul seemed to be involved in both. I also remember him being a voice for the better gameday experience with new stadiums and venues. I've only been to a handful of NFL stadiums, but Lambeau and others give a reason to attend in-person. He will be missed.

Tagliabue was a polarizing figure to some, but objectively the NFL saw exponential growth under his leadership. I think it also spoke volumes about Tagliabue's love and appreciation for the Packers franchise that he chose to receive his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring at Lambeau Field back in 2021. May God rest his soul.

Ted from Amherst, NY

The "Three Things" about the tush push was the funniest ever. I never thought I would see the day when I would criticize Larry's analysis, but the tush push isn't about blocking, it's about using the quarterback as a projectile. As an engineer, the way to stop a projectile is not to keep your pad level low, it's to go airborne. If you hit him head on, you'll probably both get concussions. But if you hit him at an oblique angle, you should be able to turn him far enough the push will just spin him.

Or you can just take the ball away from Jalen Hurts like Kayvon Thibodeaux did and the referees do nothing about it. I love Larry and that edition of "Three Things" will go down as one of my all-time favorites. But my stance on the play remains – the league must learn how to properly officiate the play or remove it from the game.

Graeme from Tucson, AZ

As I watch non-Packer games this weekend, I'm pretty objective about what I see; maybe it's a good play, a good scheme or even a poor refereeing decision. I fully admit that I'm less objective when I watch the Packers and I'm sure that will be the case against the Eagles. The question I have for II is why is that a bad thing? In some ways that's almost the definition of being a fan. Isn't this the mentality that provides the drive and competition? Always be respectful, but passion is OK too!

I think the problem is the "respectful" piece. Some occasionally find that part optional.

Kay from Lewiston, ID

Used footballs..."...if no damage...they're used in practice before being sent to Belize." What's with Belize? Refurbished? Donated?

No "Breaking Bad" fans in Inbox, huh?

Aaron from Tucson, AZ

Here's perspective: Miami crushed Buffalo, a common SB favorite for many. Do you think they will lose their status as an AFC power over the rest of the season? Not likely. Everyone loses, and most will lose to supposedly lesser teams along the way. It's just one game. Bring on the Eagles and the one-week reset!

The past is the past. One opportunity was lost, but another is just hours away. The Bears and Lions are nipping on the Packers' heels. Tucker Kraft isn't coming back anytime soon. Critics are chirping. Well, what are you gonna do about it? Nothing but air and opportunity tonight, boys. Enjoy the game everybody.

HAVE A QUESTION?
