    Official Packers vs. Queens II Discussion Thread

    Packers lead all-time series 63-56-3.

    Last meeting: November 21, 2021. Vikings defeated the Packers 34-31. Kirk Cousins threw for 341 yards and 3 TD's. Justin Jefferson had 8 catches for 169 yards and 2 TD's. Aaron Rodgers threw for 385 yards and 4 TD's. MVS had 4 catches for 123 yards and 1 TD. Davante had 7 catches for 115 yards and 2 TD's. Vikings won the game with a walk off field goal after the Packers had tied the game with 2:08 left.

    Offensively, Vikings rank 12th in the NFL, 9th in passing and 12th in rushing. Kirk Cousins has passed for 3971 yards with 30 TD passes and 7 INT's. Justin Jefferson had 97 receptions for 1451 yards and 9 TD's. Adam Thielen has 67 receptions for 726 yards and 10 TD's, but had been hurt a lot lately. Dalvin Cook has rushed for 1067 yards and 6 TD's. He has missed 4 games, including last week with Covid.

    Defensively, Vikings rank 29th overall, 27th against the pass and 28th against the rush. Opposing Qb's have thrown for 3727 yards with 26 TD passes and 14 INT's. The Vikings have sacked opposing QB's just 25 times, which ranks 28th.

    Vikings have won the last 2 meetings between the teams. Vikings have not won 3 in a row since 2008-2009.

    No chance we win this game. Our D suddenly can't stop the run and Jefferson will run free in the secondary, couple that with our poor starts and I think the Vikings roll the Pack.

    I'm with Tony. The Vikings offense is very good and they don't turn the ball over. Our defense has become a sieve, unable to put up any kind of resistance against the run or pass. A good gambler would take Minny and the points this week.

    Vikings offense is very good when Jefferson, Thielen and Cook are all healthy. With Thielen injured, teams can put more of their focus on Jefferson. A lot will depend on the status of Thielen and Cook.

    It would be nice to get MVS back. He had a big game against Vikings in November.

    A star from the CFL might be one option for re-energizing the Green Bay Packers’ return game late in the 2021 season.

    The team reported a workout for wide receiver DeVonte Dedmon of the Ottawa Redblacks on Monday. Dedmon, who went undrafted out of William & Mary in the 2019 draft, was a CFL All-Star in 2021 and the recipient of the John Argo Special Teams Award, given annually to the best special teams player in the league.


    Dedmon returned 48 punts for 737 yards and two touchdowns and 49 kickoffs for 1,223 yards and one touchdown this past season. Over only 16 career games in the CFL, Dedmon has five return touchdowns, including two kickoffs over 100 yards and two punt returns over 70 yards. His five return touchdowns in his first 15 games set a new CFL record.
    With Amari Rodgers out woth Covid, he might have a chance to get signed.

    It’s do or die time for Bakh and Zadarius. Either they practice and play over the next two weeks, or I believe it’s time to move on from them this season. Jaire may still have a chance, but I guess we’ll know tomorrow.

    Meyers and Turner, having played this season can perhaps work their way back in for the playoffs.

    I think all four will be back by the playoffs at the latest. Reinforcements will arrive. They need to. It's do or die.

    That said, the Vikings season is over, so the Packers win this one. They have to. Do or die time. Aaron and the D will both nut up. 27 - 24 Packers

    The Vikings season isn’t over. With a win over the Packers their playoff odds would improve to 50%. They have a tiebreaker over Philadelphia, and Philadelphia has to play Dallas. The Saints could be a bigger problem for the Vikings. They have a tiebreaker over Minnesota, and they play Carolina and Atlanta the last two weeks.

    Matt LaFleur said the Packers' COVID list is "continuing to get longer unfortunately. I think we're somewhere around 15 right now."

    Means there will be additions today.
    Rob Demovsky

    Matt LaFleur said that while Jaire Alexander will be added to the 53 today off IR his return to game action will be "gradual."

    "When he's ready, he'll be available. It's making sure everybody feels comfortable with where he's at and making sure he's good for the long haul."

    Rob Demovsky

    No reinforcements expected on the offensive line just yet.

    Matt LaFleur said David Bakhtiari will not practice today, Billy Turner isn't ready to practice yet and Josh Myers isn't ready to start his IR practice window.
    Ryan Wood

    Matt LaFleur says RT Billy Turner is "still a little ways away" from practice, "but he's made really good progress from what I'm told." #Packers hope to get Turner back "sooner than later," LaFleur says.

    Jaire was activated from IR today. Hopefully, we can get him on the field now.

    Procedural. They had to activate him this week. MLF said he's not ready to start practicing yet.

    Jaire has been practicing. Whether he's ready to play is another matter.

    I think he's been doing individual work on the side. I haven't read that he's started practicing in full. Have you read otherwise?

    I'm not sure. The information we get from practices in-season is pretty limited.

    New Packers on Covid.

    Additions to the COVID list:

    P Corey Bojorquez
    S Henry Black
    TE Tyler Davis
    DT Kingsley Keke
    Bojorquez tested positive yesterday, so he could possibly be available Sunday. Others will be out I believe.

    If Marcedes Lewis is out Sunday, Packers would be down to Deguara and Dafney at TE.
