Are we worried about this? Do we think the Packers are going to turn into the dirty ol Saints? Or do we think this is just something blown up by crazy @$$ Packers fans and the media?
Maybe the hit just adds to the rivalry a bit more? If so, I like it!

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr said Thursday he isn't concerned about retribution for the hit that broke Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' collarbone last season.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Barr said, "I'm not too worried about it. It's football man. It's another game."
The Week 6 hit on Rodgers essentially ruined Green Bay's season, as it struggled with Brett Hundley under center and missed the playoffs.
There was some thought that the hit on Rodgers was late, but Barr insisted he wasn't trying to injure the All-Pro quarterback.
Rodgers later appeared on Conan with Conan O'Brien and said Barr made obscene gestures toward him as he walked off the field after the injury.
Barr then sent a tweet that was later deleted, in which he said Rodgers antagonized him by shouting profanities.
In December, Barr revealed he received a large amount of hate mail, some of which included threatening language.

.... to the degree that it did the Pukers when they lost princess. Man do they really turn into a dumpster fire when they lose just 1 player lol. I mean twice now. Amazing how McCarthy still has a job.
