As someone with no loyalty either way, that's got to hurt.

Same old problems for the Pack - crappy offensive line, Ryan Grant sucks, and Rodgers doesn't know when to throw the ball away. Either that or the Poor Vikings are really, really awesome on defense. Probably a little of both.

The Vikes DL is very, very good; but they just feed on the Packers OL.

It would have helped if they chose to block Jared Allen. Sometimes they just didn't want to, apparently.
He's pretty good - you might want to leave a RB in there too to at least try.... Oh, and McCarthy sending out Crosby to try that FG was a mistake from the start, and I knew that was going to be missed. However, the Vikings deserved to win. Harvin is a monster, they just need to make sure his head stays on straight. Him and AP are two of the top 5 pure athletic talents in the NFL. |

Packers are a very good team. I think they arent aggressive enough for the talent they have. Their dbacks were giving the Vikings WRs too much space IMO. They had an interesting piece on NFL Network about the difference in defense the past 2 games prior to the Vikings compared to how they defend the Vikings. Perhaps they like to keep their corners back in case AP breaks through the line but geez they have too much talent to play that way. Capers is now 0-8 coaching a defense against Favre.

I think the secondary coverage was pretty strong, and has been. There were plenty of plays where the QB ran around and still didnt get a pass off. They just couldn't tackle in the open field for **** in the 3rd. EVERY damn play they were missing tackles. Winfield, the best tackling corner in the NFL, would have made a difference there.

BTW Cheeseheads, what is with Raji? I thought he was the main piece to your new 3-4 (nose tackle). That was what the claims were for picking him first. Is it just that he sucks and isn't who they thought he was?

Best in the NFC, for shizzy.

I think his point is that the Vikings dominated yet another team. The Vikings, Saints, Colts and Patriots seem head and shoulders above everyone else in the league right now. Should make for some fantastic Conference Championship games and some boring Divisional Championship games.
