I'm just hoping we see the offense start to look like it did pre-2015. I'm tied of nearly every pass being a stupid back shoulder throw, or Rodgers having to dance around and wait for somebody to finally break free. USE THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD MM!

And one-hopping the ball out to the flat? There's something up with that. It doesn't seem that Aaron is right.

AR will be fine. Remember, he had no real preseason, so he will be getting back his timing real quick.

I hate saying this, but you have to give a lot of credit to the Vikings management because that back 7 defense looks like it could become great, and the front four aren't bad either. Of course they're not all fully healthy right now either.

If they can form solid or better lines on both sides of the ball, the Vikings could be scary with good QB play... even if it's just a good game manager type. Of course that's assuming AP is back to his normal self, but I'm hoping his age and that big contract got to him and he finally starts dropping off some.

I got a feeling after seeing the successful TE screen that the Jags ran on the Packers, that the Vikings will have some screens of their own as well.

It'll be interesting to see how the Packers handle the DL... do Daniels and Guion continue to play a VERY high percentage with Peppers and Datone subbing in for interior work? Or do they get the young guys like Clark more involved?

Also how do the Packers hold up without Shields this year. Put pressure on the Vikings backfield and holdup in one on one with the WRs and you could potentially shut the Vikings offense down. Of course that's easy said than done. But Bradford might now know the system that well (yet) and you "run blitz" the pocket to get to Peterson, you'll also be putting pressure on Bradford to get the ball out quicker.

We came out with a week one win to start the season and now we get to start seeing week to week adjustments with growth and start to learn about this team. Anything can go in these match-ups with the Viqueens.

On offense I am looking for cleaner breaks on routes from Jordy that don't fade a good half yard to lead to cleaner connections in the flat from Aaron. I hope to see some effective passing game through the middle whether it be seams/curls by Rodgers/Cook and Cobb out of the slot.I don't yet believe that McCarthy can remember how to call a game that includes the middle of the field. I want another quiet day where the only times that Bakhtiari and Taylor's names are brought up are on solid run plays.

On defense I want to see more of the 10 tackles for loss with 3 sacks. That was on a sweltering day when the offense wasn't doing the defense any favors for multiple possessions in a row. The biggest plays given up were when both Daniels and Guion were resting on the sideline. If we can keep that rotation fresh and guys like Clark, Lowry, and Ringo start to get some game it could be a long day for the Viqueens offense. I need to see Martinez not be Hawk 2.0, but I am guessing those visions will never go away every time we see him trying to chase down a running back or tight end across the field. With Shields out the spotlight will be on Rollins to pick up where he left off from the 4th quarter of the Jaguars game after that abysmal 2nd quarter. Gunter will see plenty more snaps as well and look for more learning experiences for these young kids. It won't always be pretty but better to get burned and learn now than later in the year. I expect Rudolph to frustrate us on a couple 3rd and long conversions that we can't stop after a sack on 2nd down.

Prediction: It will be an annoyingly close division match-up but look for the Packers to spoil their stadium opening at the final whistle. Mason Crosby with the game winner as time expires.

I'm looking for a continuation from the end of the game for Rollins and the whole game from Randall, our young corners. They are two players I've been keying in on since their performances last year, Damarious in particular. Who will cover the middle of the field, and how effective will they be. That's a key matchup.

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
