Hello again Packer fans. After a brief hiatus to re-introduce myself to the wife and kids, I am back to once again discuss all things Packers. I have had several weeks to digest the Packers playoff loss to the Cardinals and their season, in general.
Who to Blame?

Packers-Vikes Rivalry
Throughout the 48-year history of the Packers – Vikings rivalry, there have been some special moments, but probably none that will live up to this weekend’s events. An aging Viking leader returns with a new band of men, looking to plunder the very homeland he once loved.
