Yes, not having fans present creates a competitive disadvantage. Especially for teams that enjoy a significant advantage from having a loud, raucous home stadium. The Vikings provided definitive proof of it on Sunday. With no fans at U.S. Bank Stadium to disrupt the Green Bay offense, Aaron Rodgers and company sliced and diced the Minnesota [more]

Florio is still full of it. Not having fans in the stands is NOT a competitive disadvantage. It creates a more level playing field not a disadvantage. But the home field team should still
have a slight advantage. They are after all, at home. It is simply not as big of an advantage as they are used to having.

Quick Reality Check

The Vikings scored 34 points against the Packers.

Great offensive shows are great, but rarely repeatable. The Packers will need improve on defense as the season moves forward.

But yeah, teams that don't get.behind with run the ball more.and better QBs might be able to do more than Cousin and good OLs will give us hell, especially if we don't have Clark.

I prefer the stat of the 43 points being the most points any Zimmer Vikings defense has given up... of course the old record was 42, but that was set in Zimmer Vikings first meeting with Rodgers back in 2014 before he got to make it indepth his.

As for Flirio's excuse, I think context is key, if he means it's a disadvantage from what a home team would normally have, then he's right, if he meant there was just purely disadvantage, then he's being a crybaby making excuses.

Again you are correct about the defense. MN may have scored 34 points but the Packers were up by 2-3 scores for most of the second half. Right or wrong the Packer defense was coasting. They stepped up big time in the 1st half when it mattered more.

I can guarantee that the GB Coaches have not conveniently overlooked this point. Much attention will be paid correcting weaknesses that the Vikings took advantage of. GB's Defense should do well against Detroit, but they will face a much better Saints team on the road in week 3.

Also don't you dare over look the Lions! Kenny Clark is injured and they have Adrian f****** Peterson and love to run the ball, plus the Packers CBs could cover Lions WR Kenny Golliday last year until he got injured... the Lions will surely be looking to run over our defense like the 49ers...

Which yes running over our defense like the 49ers has become a stupid, annoying cliche but with powerful linemen is the Lions preferred methods and RB Peterson has given us hell over the years...

We won both games against the Lions by the skin of our teeth last year.
So I’m not taking anything for granted.

dfosterf (20h) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (20h) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (23h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (23h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (23h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (26-Aug) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks

schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented
