The Vikings had to play to win tonight. If they lost to Green Bay they would risk losing to them 3 times in one season, that would be unbearable. The ultimate goal is the Super Bowl and you can't be afraid of anyone on the path. I'm a diehard Viking fan but a realistic one, this team is a year away from being a threat to the big boys, tonight was an ugly win by two teams who are slightly above average because most of the league is below average. For the Vikes it's babysteps and they have a lot to build around and if they get their ass whipped by Seattle again then I hope it makes them make the changes they need to make to get better and beat them the following season.
It won't be that bad this time around, I'm not expecting a Viking win but their 3 best defensive players were out and they were playing with two backup safeties in a game that snowballed by half. If Joseph is playing it will help, Vikes secondary matches up fairly well with Seattle's Receivers, I just don't know how the Vikings are going to score. They have no downfield passing Game. I'm thinking 24 - 10 something like that and low scoring.
