    I just find it insulting having to say how bad other professionals on the team are in order to inflate another player who is already a sure fire HOFer. I've seen the same things said about Favre, Manning, Brady and seen many saying it about Rodgers now. Personally of current era QBs, Peyton is probably the best, but I don't put any of them above the likes of Marino, Montana, Elway, Favre or Kelly of the QBs I've watched. If Marino had todays rules to throw under he would be hitting 6 or 7k per year for yards.

    Huge Rodgers fan and a huge "hater" of Brady...but Brady adjusts and works with what he has probably better than ANY QB ever to lace up that I've seen in my short lifetime (I yield to Tom's age lol)...It is almost as if when Brady is throwing to certain guys he puts it in their gut if they have terrible hands and vice versa if they have good hands but can't hold on to it if gut shot....all the while eluding somehow a rush with his awkward under-but-achieving athleticism. I dislike Brady in a big way but dang it if he isn't good....really really good....and deserves to be in the short list of GOAT discussions (for the record I don't feel those discussion are ever definitive).

    I agree that Brady is really good. Just watching him operate in the pocket, he's on a level higher than anyone else in the league. You'd never know their O Line was in shambles since he gets rid of the ball so fast.

    Rodgers always seams to have the Vikings number and I think the Vikings will have a tough time winning in Green Bay I just hope it is a good game till the end.

    Tom believe this or not, I do not have the confidence in the Packers to talk a bit of smack, not even at work.

    That's the sad part. They're playing like crap and will still probably find a way to beat us. Usually do.


    I haven't been following the 'this team needs to win, this team needs to lose' talk in the last couple days.

    What are playoff scenarios looking like with a Packers loss and with a Vikings loss?

    Which ever wins, take the Division and the #3 seed.

    Packers lose they become the 5th seed.

    Vikes lose and Seattle wins Vikes are the 6th. Vikes lose and Seattle loses Vikes are the 5th seed.

    The Packers simply have no chance in the playoffs. That offensive line is like swiss cheese. Rodgers is lucky he didn't end up in the hospital after the Arizona game.

    True. Just about every so-called expert had the Vikes winning the last game and you see what happened there.

    If we can beat the Packers in Lambeau and win the NFC North, I'd be satisfied with this year. Any win past that would be gravy.

    We might be able to mitigate that if someone could get open. As it stands, we can't block and nobody is open. Not a good combination.

    Watched a few replays of the AZ game. WR were all running routes 10 yards down field. Nobody short or on quick routes. Play calling is killing this offense. Watch Brady and Hoodie compensate for their beat up Oline with quick passes and Watch McCarthy keep running everybody deep.

    Just beat the Vikings I really don't think the streak without a playoff win since 2009 is going to be broken.

    If both the Vikings and Seahawks both lose the Packers would face the Seahawks and I would be willing to make a wager that the Packers will lose that game :)

    I think both teams the Packers and the vikings will be over matched in the playoffs.

    Yup. Both teams will play their annual playoff game.

    I wouldn't be so sure of that. Seattle having to pass because of the lack of run game now plays into the strength of Packers defense. Only question would be if the Packers offense could manage any points. I would expect a low scoring game likely decided by FG.

    I do have a question for the viking fans. Considering the 1-9-1 over the last 5 years, the 6 year play off drought, and the fact that the vikings are a terrible road team in prime time why are you all so damn sure that the vikings are going to win?
