[QUOTE="PFanCan, post: 677961, member: 1989"] The Vikings have not been a great team recently, so would be on thin ice to claim being great currently. Most experts (and most reasonable Packer fans) would agree that they are a good team, though. Defending North Champs and currently 2-0. Hard to argue otherwise. But, IMO, in order to obtain that "great" adjective, winning in the post season, owning some recent trophies, and/or a sustained level of dominance need to occur first. Then, one can say, this team "is great". I agree that the Vikings seem now to be a team that does not rely on the one player that they have relied on for many years now. Peterson has done nothing, yet they are 2-0. So, the "stop Peterson and you win" no longer holds water. I still hold that the Vikings WRs are not great either. For the same reason as above. No history. Diggs certainly looked like he might be the real deal, but is still largely unproven. No one else would start on any "good" or better team, IMO. And most would agree that the Vikings have a good defense. Especially the front line. Not sure what your point on this was. Your last two comments about the Packers are nothing new to this board or to any reasonable Packer fan. We've been talking about how other teams have "figured" out Rodgers and McCarthy's outdated play book for years now. And, yes, if you stop Rodgers over the past years, you typically stop the Packers. Thanks for reminding us... :mad: Your post above seemed to indicate the general sentiment of all Packer fans. This is not the case. Instead, what it is are sound bites that you take from one post or another, which cover a wide range of posters, including trolls and emotional band-wagon fans, all stitched together to make the Packer fan-base look to be completely dismissive of the quality of the Viking team. Again, this is not the case. Most Packer fans thought that the Packers would win, but not by much. Very few fans foresaw how poorly Rodgers would play versus the excellent game that Bradford played.
