The Green Bay Packers 2008 season was stirred by drama even before the NFL preseason officially kicked off. Brett Favre retired on March 4, then was reinstated July 29. The media constantly covered the ensuing talks between the Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre, and he was traded to the New York Jets on August 6. Many fans viewed this gesture as an act of loyalty and faith in the Green Bay Packers' new quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. In fact, Aaron Rodgers was the first Green Bay Packers quarterback to start (beside Brett Favre) in 16 years!
During the Green Bay Packers' 2008 season, Aaron Rodgers did remarkably well. His stats weren't far off from the imposing legacy of Brett Favre. However, the team ended with a 6-10 record, though it is important to note that 7 of those 10 losses came within just 4 points or less. The Green Bay Packers replaced 8 coaches following the season, so their strategies and game plans will be new for the 2009 NFL season. The Minnesota Vikings will also be implementing a new game plan in 2009. In 2008, they finished the season with a 10-6 record and also won the NFC North title. Though they lost in a wild card game to the Philadelphia Eagles (26-14), they still played well. This Vikings Packers game will be intense.
