Oh he'll be clean. The game is in a dome. :lol: How about unbloodied and unbruised?

My two concerns are the Vikings pass rush and Peterson. That is it.

I'm concerned with the Vikes' rush, Peterson, Harvin, and Favre. And Chester Taylor, because he always seems to do the real damage.

They may have allowed some sub-standard teams to keep things close, but thus far they look to be the class of our division - calling it like I see it.

BUT.

The Packers can beat them. They're not all-powerful. We'll just have to hope for all-out preparation this week and that they'll put it to use on the field Monday night.

One thing I fully expect, and I expect it early: a big TD throw from Favre. The mojo's just lining up that way, I feel it in my gut. As long as they weather that initial storm, though, I see them overcoming it and winning the game.

I think that the Vikings are the better team overall and coming from that amazing miracle win on sunday, all that energy and excitement will carry onto this next game. Some of the matchups to look for is the packers front 7 against Adrian Peterson, Packers Pass attack vs Vikings Secondary, and the Oline pass protection from both teams. I think favre and rodgers have what it takes to take march their group down the field, i give the edge to the packers for their passing but the running game will go to the Vikings. I think for the Packers to win this game, they have to play their A game, limit mistakes (penalties, turnovers) have a strong passing game, and stop adrian. For the Vikings, they will need to be able to stop the passing attack, and see if Favre and his receivers can beat the great packer secondary. I still think the Vikings will win this first meeting just because its at the metrodome, the vikings have a better momentum going in (3-0 and coming off that huge win), and brett favre may have a big day.

I actually think a team coming off of a game like that tends to be in line for a letdown the next week. It's teams that lose games like San Francisco did or Cincinnati in week one that tend to worry me.

Minnesota is the favorite and they should win. The pressure will be on them, but keep in mind, both games were close a year ago with either team having a chance to win and Childress is 1-5 vs. McCarthy.

Ok so I lied, they are pretty good, lol.

That Rams game, they looked awesome. Their defense did bend but did not break. Favre looks like he's comfortable with the receivers and AP has not even got it going yet.

But luckily they have a kryptonite - Chilly!

I missed the game because I was in Kansas City for a conference. But from what I hear from my uncle (biggest pessimist I know) is that the Vikings looked like they sucked. lol

I'm serious. Exact words that came from my uncles mouth. I couldn't believe it, actually.

Anyway, we'll see this coming few weeks when they face more challangers.. The Vikings only faced two real competitors so far this year (49ers and GB). I'm looking forward to seeing how they fare against Baltimore next Sunday..

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

but ya our seconday is much better then what SF has. IMO the best in the league.

I'm actually hoping farve starts throwing downfield more. I know woodson/harris/williams/jolly could use some more catches.

What is your point with this? That he didn't spell Favre correctly? That he said what most people thought, that if Vikings QB was to throw it downfield we'd get some picks? You fail to understand there was no pressure therefore his WR had all day to get open. There is no mother fucking secondary that can cover a WR for 7.3 seconds! There's no secondary that can run stride for stride with WR's for an entire game while the QB gets little to no pressure, especially a QB who's played in over 270 games!

Go to the Vikings board and boast. It's LIONS week here, move the hell on!

PS, Bring this back up during Vikings week! lol

I mean, how many different ways can you really say "The Pack is gonna trounce the Lions". We all know it's gonna happen. We all know this will be a 25 point blow out.

I must be allowed to profess my "Vikings QB" love all over the internet!!!!

Zero2Cool (16h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (23h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
