ORIGINAL: marty I hate the Packers and cheer against them. Sounds like a Packer fan, right ? I might be more realistic than 'fatalistic' Art. I have a feeling this season could be a disappointment while right now I feel that 2017 will be the season the Vikes will put it all together. But that could change in a hurry, like if the Vikes smoked the Packers in the first meeting. I think a loss at home would set the Vikes back, and they might not recover from it until if and when they get revenge by winning in Lambeau later in the season. I would REALLY like to see the Vikes kill all this optimism surrounding the Pack (with regards to their fans, their team, and media about them) with a Vikings blowout win over them early on in the season. Whatever optimism there is for the Packers is just that. It's not based on anything legit at all. They are old and worn down. Aaron is more Erin now. They can't protect her and they have no defense. Best possible outcome for that team is 10-6 and that is if a lot of things go right. Move on here people. Nothing to see. Actually the Packers are younger then us. Rodgers is one of their oldest which some would say is their whole team anyway. Along with Pepers, and Matthews the represent the core of that team. But they definitely are very young (3rd youngest in the NFL last year) I didn't know that as a whole they were young. I'm thinking of their significant players. Rodgers, Nelson, Mathews, Peppers. Our significant players, Peterson, Teddy, Smith, Barr, Kendricks, Joseph, Griffen, Diggs. Technically they may be younger than us, but we are for what matters younger than they are. I think guys like Newman and Hill spike are numbers. Although TT rarely signs any FA's. So many young players make the roster every year. Our core, as KG pointed out, is a lot younger with the exception of AD.
