vikingsrule Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Probably close to a must win in terms of building some confidence for a playoff push. 5-5 vs 4-6 seems like a pretty big difference 10 games in. Real chance to start gaining some momentum with the easier part of the schedule coming up. Let’s hope Rodgers is still a bit rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 While it would be nice to get back into the thick of things, Green Bay is clearly the best team in the NFL right now. This isn't going to be pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 As much as I'd love to see a win, I just don't see it in the cards. Our defense is too depleted. Even at full strength it would be a challenge. Without Hunter and Peterson, we'd have to play lights out. It may end up being an entertaining shootout, but I think their Defense will rattle Cousins more than ours will rattle Rodgers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be completely unfeasible with how both have played this year. However, GB clearly has the defensive advantage, will be a tough game.

This isn't going to be pretty. I'm certainly not expecting a win, but I don't think the Packers are the best team in the NFL, though their record suggests it. I'm not sure there is a team in the NFL in the top 20 that can't beat any other team on any given Sunday, and the Vikings are barely in that top 20 (I have them at #20 in my power rankings). People may call it parity, but I call it lots of bad football being played. The era of the "elite" team probably has been over for quite some time now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the game in GB where the kicker couldn't kick.....it can be done. Not likely, imo, but it can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how the Bills lost two games ago. There might be two great teams in the NFC, but I'm not sure. OTOH, I thought KC and Buffalo were great still/again. (I just expected KC to outscore everyone.......just goes to show having an elite QB is not a guarantee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason the Chiefs made 2 Super Bowls in a row was that their defense was competent to more than competent. It's not this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Zimmer has always done a good job scheming for Rodgers, minus the season opener last year. I would expect that to continue. Whether that leads to a Minnesota victory? Who knows. But for the Vikings to get a win they will need to play smart, disciplined football, and be aggressive from start to finish. The crowd also needs to bring their A game. The crowd could be the difference. Hopefully we don’t see a stadium with ~50% green and gold in the stands like the last time the Packers came to town.

viking Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Pat Pete needs to be back and looking sharp. We're not winning the SB this year but beating the Packers would make the season more bearable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I’d still be surprised if Cole started over a healthy Bradbury, but Zimmer was far more noncommittal on the issue than I would have expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with all 6 out though, Green Bay is still the easy favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
