It's impossible to win a game with Rodgers being the pinata on his back constantly. The back-ups couldn't handle the blitz. This is the worst game I've seen the Packers play and Minnesota now looks like an insurmountable mountain. McCarthy should know that his O line is always playing with issues at the end of the season. If this was the "test" for the Packers, they flunked miserably.

I went back and watched the games before the bye, expecting to see a significantly different team. I'm not pretending like I watched the tape or anything like that, I'm just watching DVR versions of the TV broadcast. Here's what I noticed: the same issues that are plaguing them now, with some big plays/luck sprinkled in. My interpretation is that this team is good but not great. Maybe they'll get lucky in the playoffs, but that seems unlikely.

Damn. I don't want to see them lose to the Biqueens. To live in a world where the Vikings are crowned NFC North Champs by winning at Lambeau will suck hard. It might be better for the Packers though in the playoffs. But facing the 'Skins in the playoffs may be our best hope

Have to admit, last year I thought regime change. The Vikes has drafted extremely well for four years and that talent would pay off. Unfortunately they had early QB issues and that did not pan out but Teddy got some valuable experience and he seems to be a fast learner.

This year, I see the Vikes progress unfolding, coming together at the same time the Packers are going in the opposite direction.

Compare the Vikes running game to the packs. The Vikes linebackers to the Packs. The pass defense to the Packers, the special team play to the packers and these two teams are worlds apart.

Bottom line, next week the Vikes take over the division and have a long run at the top. They are there now and the Packers need help everywhere. Where do you start?

My solution to deal with the disappointing loss and frustrating season? Just watch some highlights from 2010-2011.
