From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
The Vikings will be lucky to beat the Bears out for the NFC North's likely wild card playoff spot.
In addition to all of the personnel losses on defense that you listed...
Sheil Kapedia has an article up at The Athletic talking about strength of schedule for this year. He uses the QB ratings he got from the 50 coaches and personnel guys he interviewed - to map out who has the toughest 2020 schedule. And based on quality of QBs on the schedule, the vikings are the lucky winners as having the toughest one of all.

The Vikings play a league-high 11 games against quarterbacks in the top two tiers. They face four of the five Tier 1 quarterbacks, including Aaron Rodgers twice, plus the top quarterback from the second tier in Tom Brady. Mahomes is the only Tier 1 quarterback the Vikings do not play.

MN always brags to Packers fans that they have a harder schedule which is not really fair because the only real difference between us and them is we play Philly. They play Dallas. We play SF and we play Seattle.
We actually have the harder schedule in theory because we placed first.

Honestly, I can't WAIT to see Mike Hughes and Jeff Gladney take turns getting torched by Davante while Cameron Danzler and Holton Hill try to keep up with our big guys. I'd bet right now they pull a CB for performance during the game.
I can't WAIT to see what Z will do to a rookie OT in Ezra Cleveland who is athletic but needs to gain strength in the NFL. Can you imagine? Truncated offseason, no NFL strength program, already considered soft, and your FIRST NFL matchup is ZaDarius Smith?
My goodness that A+ rookie class is gonna be looking weak by the time we go to bed Sunday night, September 13th
