With Aaron Rodgers' recent knee injury we need to have a backup quarterback that can step in in case Rodgers' season gets ended. We always seem to have a backup QB that has good athleticism but isn't too good at reading defenses. My question is why didn't the Packers sign Teddy Bridgewater when the Jets cut him? He was the QB of the Vikings and he knows all the teams in our division well. I feel the front office blew a golden opportunity by not signing him.

The Jets didn't cut him. They traded him to New Orleans for like a third-round pick. Thanks for playing.

I know the two of you have little if any interest in the NBA, but are you going to at least visit Fiserv Forum for a Bucks game this season? I hear it's REALLY nice.

I've heard the same thing. Excited to check it out. I try to make it to a Bucks game every year. Coincidentally, the only game I attended this year was the same game Aaron Rodgers was announced as a new part-owner.

"Unscripted" music: Want to know which one of you is ripping the guitar and who is on drums?

That's Spoff on guitar and Marv on drums. I'm more of a cowbell guy.

There's a lot of consternation of late but it's way out of proportion. While the record matters and 1-1-1 is disappointing, the team is fine. Consider this: everyone in the football universe (except Al Riveron) knows the Packers are a really a 2-1 team with division wins over co-leader Chicago and preseason favorite Minnesota, who is now 1-3. We have a winnable game at home this weekend. Who wouldn't be thrilled with that team? That's the Packer squad taking the field on Sunday. GET LOUD!

Sunday's game is the most important game because a 2-1-1 record at that quarter pole keeps the Packers in the driver's seat of the division with a win over Chicago and with Minnesota off to a 1-2-1 start.

I'll be honest, I had to scroll up and check who wrote the column when I saw the "Christmas Vacation" reference. I thought Vic might have made a brief comeback.

We come from three different generations, but I think we're all well-versed in "Jelly of the Month Club" references.

Unbreakable records? How about the all-time rushing leader Emmitt Smith? Unless the game changes drastically again, this record will never be broken. The backs are devalued, they aren't playing as long and there is just too much passing. I'll go a step further, not only is Emmitt's record safe, but once AP retires, the top 10 may be the same for a long, long time.

You're not wrong. I'll throw Frank Gore into that, as well. There's a dying breed of bell-cow running backs good for 300-plus carries and more than 1,200 yards when the games start every September. It's a different game now.

While I may not be Lori from Brookfield, I have had a question or two answered here and I thank you. Having said that, a couple days ago I wrote in asking you to post an email address for the NFL offices so I can voice my concern about officiating. Can you help a guy out here?

Who sends emails anymore? Just tweet at them if there's something you really need to get off your chest.

So if the Packers want revenge on Anthony Barr, apparently all they need to do is match him up with a wide receiver.

It's a copycat league. I'm curious how the next three or four teams on Minnesota's schedule attack the Vikings' defense. Yes, it didn't have Everson Griffen, but I'm not sure how much that would have changed what the Rams did to Mike Zimmer's defense through the air. Stay tuned.

Wes, you have a great imagination. What is it like taking questions and comments for the Vikings Inbox right now?

Based on my experience, probably something like…

I saw the instructional video on tackling the QB for the first time. The first example of an illegal hit was Barr taking Rodgers out last season. If I remember correctly Barr was not flagged for that hit even though there were no other bodies in the way and a ref was looking right at it. After the game, the league "doubled down" by saying it was correct to not flag it. If that is correct, then the league doesn't have much credibility in my mind.
