[QUOTE="sschind, post: 1041164, member: 10247"] I think many Packer fans, myself in particular, would love to pick apart a vikings win. The bottom line is of course a win is a win but there is nothing wrong with breaking it down like you did. The giants are a disaster so its easy to discount that win. The 49ers are not a disaster but how many times do teams go on a 98 yard drive ;) much less score on one play? Not very many. A very high percentage of time starting at your own 2 results in a punt at best. I wasn't aware of the INT at the 49ers 10. How many times do you get a turnover inside the opponents 20. Again, not that many ;) give them credit they did get 7 out of it. My point, as I think yours was, is that although they did win, and I do give them credit for that, it wasn't a dominating win. Several things happened in that game that you can't count on. Of course a few things happened to the 49ers that you can't always count on either to keep them in it (see my first ;) above) You can say that about a lot of wins but there is some legitimacy to it. I'm still not sold on the vikings. Just like I'm not sold on the Lions fall from grace. I still think it will end up a 2 team race for the the North between the Packers and Lions. However, I fully admit that my thinking is somewhat influenced by my intense dislike for the vikings and has a degree of wishful thinking factored in. [/QUOTE]
