I think the Vikings were fortunate to even be in the game at the end. I thought GB outplayed Minnesota just about every where outside of stopping the run.
With that said the Packers' defense still contained AP for just about all day long.
I recall last year the Packers having a lot of sloppy penalties early on. For a while they lead the league actually. Now that came down last year and hopefully for the Pack it does again this year.
I noticed Minnesota just committed penalties. GB committed BIG penalties especially on the Driver play which was executed to perfection by Rodgers and Driver. I guess Tony Moll didn't get the memo.
Offensive Line I would say held up very well without Scott Wells.
Rodgers offensive player of the game
Hawk defensive player of the game
Blackmon special teams player of the game
Kudos to Bob Sanders for calling more blitzes.

If TJ didn't throw that pick, they were on their way to another score!
They were scoring alot in the second half. I don't think most of you know how close the Packers were to losing that game. Fortunately, the playcalling by the Vikings was terrible in the first half, or they might have won handily.
Some postives on the Packer side, but lets not get ahead of ourselves people. It was only 1 game.
The season is a long one, and we'll have to see how this team holds up throughout the year.
To me, it's too early to tell.
Look at New England.
