Don’t fancy our chances though. As much as I’d like the Packs to spoil Minnesota’s party, too mNy injuries mean we will be undermanned. Huntley to return as Rodgers returns to the injury reserve list.

Haha, good man.. :lol:

Hundley is no Rodgers that's for sure but he didn't have the cattle to work with either. No Adams, Nelson, Rodgers or Jones in the offence meant scoring was alway going to be tough. Having to play with 2 undrafted rookies just made it harder, although to be fair they gave it their best shot.

Looking at the stats, the Packers gained more yardage on the plays, had more passing yards, more rushing yards and only 2 first downs less. The big difference was converting the plays into points.

Vikings won, but against a very undermanned Packers without our star QB and our morale at a very low ebb. If that's the best you've got Vikings, then say good bye to the SB for this year as anyone of the NFC South top 3 would smash you.

Even though the Vikings had a whole lot more to play for than the Packers it was a disappointing performance. So unpacker like :(

You’re totally underselling the Vikings, mate.
A shut out at Lambeau is no mean feat, regardless of Packers injuries. Minnesota will get the first week off now & are a serious contender.
They have come back from injury set backs too the last couple of seasons.

That’s not quite guaranteed yet. Rams, Saints, Carolina all playing today can catch Minnesota. They still need to win their last game to guarantee the week off. Admittedly it is against the Bears, but one can only hope.

Anyway not underselling the Vikings would be like being complimentary to Bastard Rovers. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it ;)

Minnesota have beaten more quality teams then what the Eagles gave. NFC beat chance of winning imo

Vikings weren't great against the Packers but knew Hundley couldn't consistently put enough plays together to challenge them.

Have just come off one home game in 55 days, which included London (admittedly only against the Browns), and away games against teams who were still in the playoff hunt including Redskins, Detroit, Atlanta and Carolina, whilst thumping the Rams at home. To only lose the last of those games against Carolina by a touchdown for how we played, a couple of blown plays and O-Line injuries, prove we deserve to be in the conversation.

I'm sure other teams are in this situation, but the weekend was only the third time we had our starting O-Line for the season, and even then it was only briefly, with Guard Easton out for the season. More injuries and the depth of our O-line could stump us, especially if the centre Elflien gets injured as he's been really good as a rookie and when injured Easton moved across.

It is unfortunate there are a couple of challengers cruelled by injuries, Seattle, GB, and maybe Philly without Wentz, but then the last two years we virtually haven't had our first-choice QB's and RB's, plus all the other injuries we had last year.

Regardless of previous results, reckon the Saints, Rams and Vikings are all pretty even in the NFC and the Steelers are on a similar level. Would love to have a crack against the Pats in the SB, as I reckon we have the team to beat them.
