A couple of myths about Sunday

The Packers defense is crap.
--This defense is the #3 in the entire NFL going into this game. They still have the best CB duo in football. Their switch to 3-4 has yielded results.
--The simple fact is Brett Favre excels against top defenses, He's like 11-0 now against Dom Capers, and the guys that Brett hit were not wide open. Every big play you see Packers swarming and Brett puts the ball exactly where to go.

The offensive line advantage was too great.
--The Vikings gave up 18 sacks, including 5 the week before to the Steelers. The Packers were the #3 defense in the NFL. Brett's o-line stepped it up big time. It's not like they shut out everybody, they just shut it out for their leader Brett. Aaron has NO special bond with any players and his line protected him well against other teams.
--If you watch the game again, count in hour head after the ball is snapped. Brett unloads that ball in 2 seconds or less, with a couple plays in 3 seconds. When Aaron held on more than 2 seconds he was sacked or was incomplete.
