You guys. Super Bowl XLV. The Green Bay Packers went into the playoffs as a sixth seed. A very banged up sixth seed, but held it together. That "next man up" and "we are a team" mentality served your Packers well. The Packers went into the Super Bowl without Charles Woodson (arguably the Packers' most important defensive player) and Donald Driver (arguably the Packers' most important receiver) and they were still able to hold off the Steelers last minute drive in the 4th quarter and win 31-25.The Vikings, under Zimmer, have that same mental attitude. It's one game at a time. Only look forward to the next opponent. As a football coach of over 20 years, I really respect the instilling of this kind of  philosophy in the players. It's much the same as I instilled in my program... "Learn from the Past. Live in the Present. Prepare for the Future." Good luck this week against the Cowboys... Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott are forming quite the rookie-tandem from the Cowboys. Then it's on to a short week as you host the Bears on Thursday night.SKOL!</blockquote>
