Monday Morning Quarterbacking: An Odd Game

First it was the Vikings.

Then the Packers made a comeback.

First the Vikings' Starting Quarterback looked good, as did the Vikings defense. At the same time the Packers were falling prey to penalties and sacks. The announcers kept saying that the Packers had only looked good in previous games because they weren't playing anyone who could really beat them. (Yes, some truth in that.)

Then the 2nd half and Rodgers and the Pack looked like the team they really are. The Pack defense came alive and it went from a blowout to a football game.

In the end it was the disastrous first half for the Packers that gave the Vikings the edge. No doubt that the Vikings Starting QB is at the top of his present form. He continues to show the power that has made him such a presence even at age 40. In the end, the two QBs again were relatively even. The difference was in the teams. And the Vikings are a better team overall.

As a Packer fan, though, it was disappointing to watch.
