Why GB should win Sunday.

link 

The Vikings lost a very competitive ball game against the Steelers. And now the focus shifts to Lord Favre making his return to Lambeau Field.

The fans will boo their least favorite traitor. And Green Bay will win the rematch. Green Bay is ready for the rematch.

Here are 9 reasons (the Schein 9 within the Schein 9, if you will) why the Packers are ready to win this time around and why they don't miss or need Favre.

1. In the last two games, the Packers defense pitched a shutout and gave up 3 points. Sure, it was against Detroit and Cleveland. But it is obvious that Dom Capers' defense has clicked since the bye week and the last Brett Favre soap opera in Minnesota.

2. Aaron Kampman is back. His hand is in the dirt. Kampman is getting to the passer. Kampman was dropping back too often in the first game against the Vikes. Kampman will chase Favre all day long, something he didn't do at all in the first matchup.

3. Al Harris and Charles Woodson make up the single-best combination of cornerbacks in the NFL. Woodson had a pick against Cleveland. Woodson and Harris will have two combined picks against Favre on Sunday.

4. The linebacker rotation is peaking. A.J. Hawk, Brandon Chillar, Nick Barnett and Clay Matthews make up a diverse and talented rotation of playmakers. I think they can bottle up Adrian Peterson.

5. Ryan Grant is coming off of his best game of the season, pounding the Browns for 148 rush yards and a touchdown. The Packers need him to get back to his 2007 form and last Sunday gave them the hope that he will get there.

6. Mike McCarthy is a better coach than Brad Childress. Did you see the run-to-pass ratio for the Vikes on Sunday? How about Chilly settling for the field goal the week before against the Ravens? McCarthy is an excellent play-caller. He puts a major emphasis on winning at home and the Packers will be ready for this unique environment come Sunday.

7. Aaron Rodgers is playing brilliant football. OK, so he isn't quite in the MVP mix like I predicted. But he's damn close. Rodgers has just two picks against 11 touchdowns with a passer rating of 110.8. He doesn't get enough credit for being great. Rodgers is a true extension of McCarthy on the field, something Favre really never was. Rodgers shares McCarthy's love of practice, film study and a 24-hour quest to succeed to the extent where he sounds like McCarthy during interviews. Rodgers will be a model of efficiency and dominate the Vikings.

8. Rodgers told me two weeks ago that he believes Greg Jennings is about to explode. With Antoine Winfield injured, this will be the week. Minnesota has been vulnerable to opposing passing attacks in recent weeks.

9. The pressure is solely on Favre. He will get booed in the stadium where he used to be a star and a legend. I think he has no idea what is in store. And I think it is going to get ugly with the sight of Favre wearing the enemy's colors and with Green Bay getting a chance to cut into Minnesota's division lead.

1: We've got a LT.
2: We've got Bigby back.
3: Antoine Winfield is OUT.
We lost Finley, but these other factors make up for that. We also got Ahman Green, who could be a secret weapon.

Oh yeah.
4: Clay Mathews.
Barnett is back to full speed and so is Raji.

I really hate to come on here and post something like this, but if Formo is going to go around posting YouTube videos about how great Favre is then he has to face up to the other side of it:

It wasn't as much a post to show how great Favre is.

It was a response to the OP and it's 9 reason's why GB will beat the Vikings, and how the maker of the video doesn't think it will happen.

Oh man. I have to admit that I just assumed what the video was and didn't look at it. I feel like a pretty big ass. Sorry dude :o\

Although... now that I've watched it, I still think my post stands up. The Vikings will only have more games like they did against the Steelers, especially in the playoffs. Those are the games Favre is good at losing.

Well, if your counting on this happening again I wouldn't hold my breath. It's ok with me you posted this because it replays one of two games your team should have lost.

The bottom line is these things have a way of evening out and the teams that should win these games will because the odds are with them at that late point in the game. This video doesn't show me how good the Vikings are it shows me how fortunate they are to this point not having three losses.

Where is the one of Baltimore missing the FG after kicking the Vikings rear end the entire second half? Or was that one not spectacular enough?
Sure, be happy, I would be if we were able to grab a couple of wins out of the clutches of defeat but I am not sure I would show this video to display how good we are.

It's like the guy walking down the street and turns into an alley and all of a sudden he's staring at three tough guys seconds away from kicking his ass. Suddenly the ground starts shaking and a quake hits and and the tough guys hit the dirt allowing you to jump over them and split.

Once it's over do you tell people how tough you are or how fortunate you were to get out of there alive?

Besides, we have plenty of those videos from the past, unfortunately, only one SB win. You might want to keep that in mind.

WRONG!












(Actually, it will be Woody and Collins who will get the picks).

Coulda shoulda woulda.

6-1. It's what matters.

The Vikings offense was JUST good enough to keep the Ravens from making a big comeback. Even with piss-poor defensive play.

The Vikings offense was JUST good enough to show up late that game against San Fransisco and put them late second scores on the board.

Good teams win those close games. Not lucky teams. In years past, the Vikings have been known to be in those exact same situations, and failed. Almost 100% of the time.
