Who Cares? I Do!

I hear a lot of talk about people who aren't at all excited about the Packers and Vikings match-up this Sunday.  Why?  They straight-up don't care.  I'm not here to say they're wrong, but I simply can't say the same thing.

I remember last year when the Packers lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and afterward, everyone claimed, "The Packers' season is over!  They suck!  Fire Thompson and McCarthy!"  The week after, everyone said that the Packers would get destroyed by the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night football.  What happened though?  The Packers defense stepped up and they got a win that lead to a five game winning streak and they finished the season 7-1 down the stretch.

Now, I understand that this year injuries play an even larger factor than last year, but I feel like this is the same situation.  If the Packers can get a win over Brett Favre and the Vikings this Sunday night, they could get some momentum for a tough stretch against the Jets and Cowboys the next two weeks.  It seems that when everyone counts out the Packers, that's when they're the most dangerous.  Let's hope that holds up this weekend.
