Inbox: They'll be determined to run the ball more than ever - Packers.com

Mate from Miskolc, Hungary

Hi Insiders! In one of your responses last week you mentioned you consider Russell Wilson as a potential Hall of Famer. Are you sure that he is really HOF-caliber? As it was mentioned several times this season he doesn't even have an MVP vote, let alone an actual MVP, his only SB win came courtesy of the Legion of Boom and he has been above average at most in his playoff appearances. In the last four years, even the Jaguars have more playoff wins than Russ. What makes you think he should be in the HOF?

I'm not saying he's a slam-dunk HOFer, but I think he's deserving and will get in. He's carried that team to the playoffs in recent years with constantly changing (and at times inferior) personnel around him. Those playoff results lately aren't great, but he's still 9-7 in the postseason for his career. I dislike the MVP vote argument. Voters only get to vote for one person each year. It's not a hierarchy ballot like in MLB. If that's the standard, it would disqualify a number of QBs already in Canton.

Bakhtiari has been a five-time All-Pro. If he retired after this season, is he in the Hall of Fame? If not, what more does he need to do?

The HOF selection committee looks more strictly at first-team selections, and Bakhtiari now has two in eight years. Tony Boselli had three in seven and is a HOF finalist again, on the verge. If Bakhtiari returns to his All-Pro level post-injury, that might lock it down for him.

I know all of our thoughts on adding another playoff team. I know that this wasn't needed. But after watching "Super Wildcard Weekend" I'm hooked. Three games is better than two. Six games is better than four!

I never said I wouldn't enjoy watching the games. It was an entertaining, relaxing way to spend the weekend. I'm glad the seventh spot prevented an 11-win team in the AFC from getting aced out, but it also allowed an eight-win team in the NFC that clearly didn't belong. There will be pluses and minuses every year.

How wild was it for the Packers to have three defensive touchdowns in four games during their Super Bowl run in 2010? I don't remember many defensive touchdowns in the playoffs the last few years, so I figured three in four games for one postseason has to be somewhat rare.

It's not the norm. To my recollection, the Packers have had only one since then, Shields at San Francisco in the '12 divisional to open the game. The Rams and Browns sure made theirs count this weekend. Both were tone-setters.

Nathan from Philadelphia, PA

Why are the Sunday divisional games scheduled two hours later than normal (2:05 and 5:40 Central)? The conference championships are always scheduled for those times in case either game is on the West Coast, but this year, there could have been at most one divisional game out west. Is it more of a ratings decision to let the later game run into prime time?

Ding ding ding. I thought for sure when the Bears lost that Packers-Rams would get the Saturday night slot, but work-wise I'm not complaining about an earlier kickoff.

Ashley from Durand, IL

I'm not sure how it's different, but I watch a game differently when I'm cheering for a team to lose instead of one to win. You know what I mean?

I don't know why, but this made me laugh.

You guys do a fabulous job of keeping things fresh. So, my question: Obviously you don't get to choose who you play, but in going 13-3, is it more important that the Packers only beat two teams with a winning record (NO, TN) OR that they only lost to only one team with a losing record (MN)?

It's most important they finished the regular season playing their best football on both sides of the ball.

Eric from Mequon, WI

A 13-3 record doesn't matter. Individual awards don't matter. Season totals in passer ratings, sack totals, and rushing yards don't matter. All that matters? Going 3-0 over the next three games.

You don't listen to LaFleur much, do you? All that matters is going 1-0 on Saturday. Happy Monday.
