19. Minnesota (11th, 2-5)Nice win in Green Bay, and that Dalvin sure can Cook. Seems crazy to say, but the rest of this year, in part, has to be spent seeing if Kirk Cousins should be the quarterback in 2021 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20...=nbcsports

Tom Oates: Vikings exploit Packers' defensive flaws, proving it's time for some changes
GREEN BAY — An injury-riddled, inexperienced, short-on-talent defense has sabotaged the Minnesota Vikings' season. But against the Green Bay Packers Sunday at Lambeau Field, the Vikings had the best defense on the field.What does that say about the Packers defense? It says the Packers defense, the team's weakest link for almost a decade, remains the biggest obstacle standing between them and an NFL title. In Green Bay's embarrassing 28-22 loss to Minnesota Sunday, the Vikings' Dalvin Cook did exactly what San Francisco's Raheem Mostert did when the 49ers ousted the Packers from the playoffs in last season's NFC Championship Game. Whether he was overpowering the Packers, running away from them or making their tacklers whiff, Cook made the defense look bad. https://madison.com/wsj/sports/football/...532d3.html

Demovsky:
Same old Packers defense exposed again in troubling loss to the Vikings GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers doesn't need more weapons at the trade deadline as much as the Green Bay Packers' defense does.Something has to change, whether it's an influx of playmakers who can stop the run or a scheme overhaul. If not, it will be another year where the other side of the ball costs Rodgers a shot at his second Super Bowl. Not that Rodgers has been without fault in his pursuit of a second title, but Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings (2-5) -- who essentially beat the Packers (5-2) with one player, running back Dalvin Cook -- exposed the same issues that knocked out Green Bay last year in the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers. Those same 49ers just so happen to be up next on the Packers' schedule on Thursday in California. The Packers' first four defensive possessions Sunday at Lambeau Field ended like this:

It’s a trap! Packers lay egg against Vikings in 28-22 loss with 49ers on deckIt can’t happen. Not against a divisional rival. Still, the Packers appeared to overlook the struggling Vikings and it bit them. Green Bay came out rolling offensively but on a windy day got blown off course defensively, getting torched by Dalvin Cook and the hapless Vikings.Against a division opponent playing for nothing but pride, there’s no need to invoke a famous, meme-able amphibious Star Wars admiral. Playing the Minnesota Vikings can never be a trap for the Green Bay Packers, no matter who comes next on Green Bay’s schedule. Despite the historic Chicago Bears rivalry, in the Favre-Rodgers era, there isn’t a team the Packers love to beat more than the Purple and Gold. If Mike Pettine and the Green Bay defense had been daydreaming about the NFC Championship rematch with the 49ers next week, Dalvin Cook’s four-touchdown performance gave them nightmares in Minnesota’s 28-22 upset win.

This offense with a young mobile QB would be super dangerous even if we can’t upgrade the line to NFL capable.

The want-to on defense was beaten out of the Packers. You could see it.

Quote: @purplefaithful said:Dalvin Cook is the best back in the league. And I don't think it matters as much whether or not Cousins is our QB in '21. What matters is that we get his replacement on the roster this spring so that we know who the QB is going to be in '22 and beyond.
