Early in the season the saying "a win is a win" is especially true. That's one reason for the high degree of frustration with the loss to the Bengals last weekend. It was a home game against a team the Packers were favored to beat.
Next Monday's grudge match with the Vikings will be for the lead in the NFC North. The game will show which team is better at this stage of the season. With the exception of the Packers turnover differential, I think the Vikings probably have the edge.
It may actually be more important how the Packer OL is playing in the second half of the season. Can Alan Barbre and Josh Sitton actually become assets? But if the Vikings win this one and keep winning, the Packers will be playing for a wildcard slot and have acquired an inferiority complex to the Vikings. That's not a script Packer fans want to see play out.
