It’s hard to think of a Packers game this season that will be as revealing as New Year’s Eve in Minnesota.
It will determine if Green Bay keeps its playoffs hopes alive or plays its last meaningful game of the year. More important, it will provide a true indicator of how much progress has been made in the post-Rodgers era. We’ve seen the offense at its best and worst. We’ve seen the defense at its best and it’s still the worst.
With everything on the line, we’ll see if the coaching staff has this young team ready to be physical but disciplined, with a game plan designed to neutralize the Vikings strengths and attack their weak points.
