What's your opinion about the Packers loss to Favre and the Vikings at Lambeau Field?

	The Vikings are just a better team.
	It's only one game, there's a lot of football left to play.
	The Packers should have taken Favre back when he wanted to come out of retirement.
	Green Bay can't win with that offensive line.
	Fire Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy!
