I think this is an underrated win. Really impressed with our balance right now. Rodgers is locked in. Next week is big.

They looked really good tonight. and I feel that's a bit of an understatement. I don't want to get extremely carried away, though. Afterall, it was the Vikings.

Great win. I can't wait to get Casey Hayward back. Tramon has looked like poop. Hyde stepping up and showing his return abilities. Love what the running game has been. If we can keep James Starks healthy the rest of the way, we are looking at a very dangerous two-headed monster. Add the fact that James Jones should be coming back and we are looking nice for all the injuries we have had to endure.

I agree with the theme of balance, Luke. How complete of a team we are becoming is what stands out most to me. The last few years we've relied heavily on an elite air threat to be successful. We still have the same pass thrower, very good pass catching options(more so once Cobb and Jones are back), a couple good to very good runners, good blocking, a good secondary, a good front 7 - maybe great once Perry and Matthews return, and a returner in Hyde who I'd be fine if he just caught the ball, but even showed he can break one tonight. Sorry for the long winded sentence, but I'm pretty excited about this team.

This game was a lot closer than it actually was. It was a fun game.

Don't turn the ball over next week and I feel the Bears D can be shredded much like the Vikes D was tonight. Their D has really fallen off this year. Injuries and age finally catching up to them. I suppose if this was in Chicago I MIGHT be a little nervous, but Monday night in GB? I think we blow them out.

As for tonight, Rodgers was locked in, running game continued to look great and the D continued to play as well as they have since roughly week 2.

I think we are the best team in the NFC if we get healthy. Wouldn't have said that without the OL run blocking like they are. That's a dimension we haven't had in a long **** time.

Greg Jennings was gone from the #Vikings locker room by the time reporters were let in.

Wow. Wouldn't surprise me if he was begging to come back in that post game conversation with Rodgers.

40 minutes to 20 minutes in time of possession. Running games are good.

So are **** offenses that you can get off the field in 3 plays.

All of us already made the reservation for u. This is a just about a yearly event for u and we figured the least we could do this year is save u a little trouble... :-)

Everyone from Ted to the whole coaching staff deserves a ton of credit for the team still managing to play well even though so many starters and many key starters have been out injured.

One thing which rarely gets talked about is the continuity of the coaching staff. We've lost very few assistant coaches over the last 4-5 years and between them and McCarthy i think that's helped the team stay the course even as injuries seem to ravage the Packers more than most teams.

Obviously having Rodgers helps a ton, but this whole organization is just so stable from top to bottom. The coaching staff buys in completely to Ted's vision for building a team and there really have been very few players over the years who seem to have a strong me first agenda over team first.
