    The Vikings are trending upward.

    You need luck at QB. That's just like every Top Tier NFL Team.

    How so? Because they defeated a beat up team that lost their starting QB and leader? They do have a couple of easy games coming up but who among us thought KC would lose at home today or Atlanta would lose to Miami?

    Yeah, no kidding. Football is so weird. Packers looked to have the whole thing coming back their way at the start of the game and then KABOOM it all gets blown to hell. Next thing you know, Hundley surprises everyone and turns into a season-long fuckdoggle extraordinaire and we're all like Hey, wha happened? ( I'm in the bargaining stage).

    But they did it without their QB, RB1 or WR1
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

    They had 2 or 3 weeks to prep a game plan for the backup. I bet Keenum actually saw some practice snaps too.

    C'mon, give the offense a week to adjust.

    I don't know how to feel about the defense. Despite all the carnage, they kept it close and got the ball back. Hell, they manufactured the offenses second score.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    They did it because of their defense. If we had their defense the loss of #12 wouldn't be so devastating.

    Then you evidently agree with wist43.

    Until TT and the Defensive expertise on the Green Bay Packers Staff can draft on 'D' the Green Bay Packers and Super Bowl is in all probability a mere illusion. Great NFL Teams have great 'D's'.

    It's a hand and hand thing:

    A great QB and 'O' also needs 'at least a decent 'D'.

    The Packers do not have a decent 'D'. That is particularly the case and Pass Rush now and in the Packer Secondary.

    The Green Bay Packers need a whole different direction and Drafting for the next five Seasons. For the past five Seasons Ted Thompson and his Scouting Team and the DC etc. have blown it and getting the help that Aaron Rodgers and the Packer 'O' has needed on DEFENSE.

    What's the answer Pugger if it isn't a prayer that TT steps away?

    The Chiefs are no longer undefeated, but they are still the top team.

    I'm feeling sorry but here's your Reality Check and where noted NFL Sites have the Green Bay Packers Ranked Vs our Rival Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have moved past the Green Bay Packers too Week Seven of the NFL Schedule.

    It is what it really is ! I'm feeling sorry for you and your fan.....ness. That has to be tough !

    The Viking are 'in fact' ahead of the Packers and THE NFL POWER RANKING and that's the case across the entire board on NFL.Com and ESPN and CBS and Yahoo Internet Pro Sports Sites.


    GO PACK GO !

    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    The nice thing about Clark playing so well is that he just turned 22 this month. So he’s still younger than over half the rookies. So next year will really be the year to know what we’ve got. He’s still developing.

    Who knows, maybe this year we struggle adapting to hundley, go 8-8.... then we draft a stud pass rusher, Clark becomes a dominant force just in time to catch the back end of Daniels prime.... who knows.... maybe losing Rodgers this year sets us up for a great defense next year.
