Dear Vikings,

Thanks, now I have to worry about the 49ers.

Sincerely,

Hey, the Pack isn't last in defending the run. Vikings are. So we got that going for us...which is nice.

[Upnorth]

So did I miss it or did Jake Ryan not even suit up??? I read he got a tackle but was it on ST?

[3irty1]

I'd bet on Lane Taylor being the odd one out.

McCarthy and the Packers not the only team in the NFC North playing coy on the injury front. Caldwell in Detroit getting testy in Detroit over not revealing the nature of his injury:

I did not realize Levy hasn't practiced in over a month.

Last week the papers made it sound as if he might play this weekend against the Vikes, but now they're making it seem he'll be out for a few more weeks.

Those guys played some pretty inspired football, and the Vikings looked like week old shit.

Well this sucks,

Hopefully Barclay makes a jump

Same knee as his ACL tear and an MCL a few seasons ago. Throw in the cartilage damage now, and a reported possible MCL again, and this knee could start to really affect both his performance and longevity.

Time to start restocking the OL in the draft. TT drafted only Linsley in 2014 and nobody in 2015. Except for Tretter, every Packers backup on OL was undrafted.

Agreed. NFL careers pass quickly, and it won't be long before Sitton will be looking at the end of his. They are young at two spots and mid career at three., so rebuilding the line hopefully can be orderly.

Cordarrelle didn't get a snap on O? Oops. I see he did return two kickoffs.

Jesus H! I just saw Joe Buck. What the hell is that??? How does one look in the mirror before leaving the house, see that and go "oh ya, I got it going on baby!"

[Guiness]

They're saying it's a fractured clavicle - that's his season, isn't it? Is there even any point to Designated to return?

[Joemailman]

So who can we definitely say are really good teams in NFC? Packers, probably Seattle, Arizona (as long as Carson Palmer stays healthy), maybe Atlanta?

You know its bad when people are seriously suggesting that Washington could win the NFC East.
