    Official Packers vs. Vikings II Discussion Thread

    This has the potential to be a trap game for the Packers:

    Packers are coming off a big win over the Eagles
    It's the week before a big game with the Patriots
    The Packers have already handily beaten the Vikings this year

    On the other hand, the Vikings just aren't very good. All of their wins are against teams with losing records. There is no logical reason the Vikings should be able to beat the Packers this week.

    The Vikings looked pretty inept against the Bears. All Bridgewater was throwing were ineffective screens.

    No, Sherrod is gone now. He wasn't on the roster yesterday.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    I think the Pack is really riding high setting up for a letdown, but they end up blowing out the Vikings. They're just that good with a rejuvenated defense.

    The Bears...THE BEARS...just beat the Vikings. The only thing that could potentially hamper Green Bay in this one is the weather...and even that won't be near enough to cause heartburn against the Vikings. The Packers have the chance to move up into the #2 spot in the conference with Detroit having to travel to NE. You have to expect a heavy contingent of Packer fans will make the trip over to MN...because Vikings fans will happily unload their tickets looking at the forecast.

    Rarely have the Packers experienced a letdown against a division opponent under McCarthy. That is one area he established as a focus from day one, and he's been extremely effective against division foes.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    Vikings have a good pass rush. If they are fired up (which they usually are at home against GB) then I think this is one of those proverbial games where you throw out their records and all that. It will be a close game.

    But seriously the only way we lose is if we turn the ball over a few times resulting it pick sixes or a short field for the queenies.

    Packers ranked number 2 in Football Outsiders DVOA Power Rankings. Vikes are 26th.

    Pack O is #1, D is #10, ST slips to #16. The Arizona Cardinals at 9-1 and ranked 15th.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Weather is going to be nice. Bridgewater is terrible. As long as our O-line holds we win this easy.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    Pack won't score in the 50s but should coast to a win.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    Looks like rain on Sunday.
