[QUOTE="Hauschild, post: 255295, member: 1638"] It's clear - the Vikings are better. However, Green Bay doesn't have to play Minnesota anymore in the regular season. GB has an easy schedule and should make the playoffs as a wild card. I can't think of very many other NFC teams Green Bay couldn't beat - they'd probably struggle with Philly and New Orleans, but I can see them beating the Giants and Dallas if it came down to it in the playoffs. The Cowboys-Giants-Eagles still have additional losses coming because they have more game to play amongst each other. Atlanta? I'm not sold on 'em because they have Philly, New York G's and the Saints twice. The Vikings tried like hell again today to give the game away, but they did enough on offense to keep the pressure on. Minny really needs to address the second half let-down because it is going to bit them in the *** when they can ill-afford it - like maybe in the playoffs. I would hate to have to face Green Bay AGAIN this year. Remember when the Packers spanked Minny twice during the regular season only to succumb to Moss' full moon in the playoffs??? Again, how many rushes for no gain did All Day have again today??? There's gonna come a day of reckoning when Minnesota is going to have to rely on AD instead of Favre - they need to get the run-blocking tweaked, if that is possible. I thought Rodgers played as well as he could have played again today. He isn't Favre, so to expect Favre-like decision making is unfair. Just like the first game, when he got time, he carved up Minny's secondary. I suppose TT still hasn't learned his lesson about nickel-diming on the O-line, but we're witnessing the extent to which TT underestimates the importance of a stout O-line. All those 1st round DT's and 2nd round WR's - it is the sole reason why Green Bay isn't undefeated at this point. Now, we're reduced to having to write off another season - now by this I don't mean Green Bay can't pull it together, but I'm talking from practical standpoint. As a GM, you have to learn to play to your A-player's strengths and for Rodgers that means giving him time to throw. He's not the improvisational type that Favre is. So, by writing off another year, all you do is see your A-players a year longer in the tooth, forces the O-line to be a major priority in FA or the draft, and then you still have to cover normal attrition due to retirement, etc. Cliffy could be done any year now, Tausch the same, Driver is getting up there, Al Harris and Woody are no spring chickens either. I still say Green Bay makes the playoffs and say that without hesitation. [/QUOTE]
