Who won? Vikes are 2-0!!!!👅 Im happy to only lose by 3 in a game where Bradford wont play like again and a game where Rodgers was atrocious. I think we will still win division. Peterson and Bridgewater out would be killer I think the Packers are always a tough opponent and the division championship will come down to the Vikings & Packers. The thing about Rodgers is that Zimmer is a damn good defensive coach that puts together great gameplans to slow him down. If you check his stats since Zimmer took over in Minnesota, the QB rating for Rodgers has dropped about 20 points per game (used to be around 105 per game, now about 85). For the Vikings, the offensive line needs to improve a ton this season. They have not been able to run or pass block very well at all. If they can improve in that area, the Vikings should be able to make a run in the playoffs. As for Bradford, I think he's capable of playing like that a lot this year. He made a few throws that Teddy would never even try or have a prayer to complete(i.e. the sideline throw to Rudolph over the CB and the throw when Diggs had the diving catch deep down the field). Last night was the best the passing offense has looked since 2009 with Favre, and that was with a guy that's been here for 2 weeks. Again the key is the offensive line, Bradford needs time and to stay healthy. Either way the Vikings will be solid because that defense will keep them in every game.

I love Zimmer as a coach and he does a nice job with Rodgers, but it wasnt just him last night. Rodgers isnt the same since last year. I do think Zimmer was a great hire and wasnt happy he went to Vikings. Tough guy to dislike thats for sure. Bradford looked really nice, hence why I dont see him replicating that game. I see more of a softer version of that. He needs Peterson although. McKinnon doesnt warrant the same amount of defensive strategy. I still think that the Packers win the division unless it takes 8 weeks for Rodgers to return to his MVP self. I wish we had Diggs after last night. The guy talks a lot of smack, but he sure did back it up (except for that dumb penalty on him when he left sideline). I think the Vikings easily beat the Bears and Lions in the division by just their defense alone.

Is Diggs legit? I drafted him to be a backup and he's out producing all my WRs.

I thought he was hit or miss type receiver but he burned Damarious Randall is pro football focus rated as the best DB week 1 multiple times. Randall read his routes well but couldnt stop Diggs from getting separation. Ugly to watch as a Packers fan.

Abuse Preschoolers is no loss at this stage of his career. McKinnon, and Asiata proved they could handle it before, and they can also catch the ball where Abuse Preschoolers couldn't run block, or catch.

Diggs is a beast, he is so quick that he can really cause damage after the catch. My worry is always health, he needs to avoid the big shots to keep his body from breaking down.
