A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once.
The Packers should play their stars on Sunday, compete to win, and beat the stupid Vikings. Win that game, and the young guys won’t just think they can beat anybody, they’ll know they can—anywhere, anytime. They’ll be going into January playing their best ball, and nobody in the NFC field will want to draw them.
I don’t just want a win for seeding, and not even just for pride. I want it for psychological dominance. I want this team to be a screaming-hot, 13-win wild card ballistic missile on a mission.
