Vikings at Packers 9/29/24 Pregame Thoughts

[Thirteen Below]

I take this game seriously, but I'm not worried about it. I'm surprised at some of the pessimism here... if we're as good a team as we've all spent the last 6 or 8 months telling ourselves and one another that we are, this is a team we should be confident going up against.

I don't see the Vikings as a Top 3 team at all - I see them as roughly a Top 10, maybe 12 club on an early hot streak. They're dangerous, to be sure, but last I checked so are we.

The general consensus in here all summer is that we're a highly probable playoff team and even a possible SB team. If that's true, then we need to be able to beat teams like the Vikings. If we don't expect to be able to do that, then we might want to stop talking so much about playoffs.

Packers, 30-27

Absolutely. It comes down to one of my old favorites sayings from an old Tom and Jerry's cartoon. Is you is or is you ain't?
