It's a mixed bag. The Vikings appear to suck, but they do have a couple strengths: Adrian Peterson and their defensive line. AP did his thing but the Vikings DL wasn't that great on Monday. The Packer offensive line deserves some credit for that. Clifton took out Jared Allen, who had 0 sacks and 0 tackles. (Maybe the Chiefs knew something, but even so, Clifton shut him down completely.) I was surprised at the depth of the Packer offensive line. In any case, the first real test will be the Dallas game.
I'm a Packer fan, but i don't see how they can go all the way. Rodgers or not, they were beaten in the trenches in last season's NFC title game and in Dallas. Both lines are essentially the same.
