Official Vikings Week I Thread

[Joemailman]

Packers lead all-time series 60-51-2. (59-50-2 in regular season, 1-1 in playoffs)

Last Meeting: December 24, 2016: Packers won 38-25 at Lambeau.

Last meeting in Minnesota: December 18, 2016: Vikings won 17-14 in first game ever played at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Zimmer vs. McCarthy - Packers lead series 4-2.

Packers under McCarthy lead series 15-8.

No betting line yet on the game.

Vikes move the ball (#7 avg. yds.) particularly throwing it (#7 passing yds.) but haven't been as good getting in the endzone (#21).

Diggs and Thielen are Football Outsiders #1 and 10 ranked receivers. It'll be interesting to see if/how the loss of Cook affects them.

They gashed GB last year in Minny. Without digging too deep, that looks like a key to this ballgame this year too.

[Maxie the Taxi]

It's essential that we keep the momentum from Dallas going. That's all.

Aaron Rodgers has as many third-down scrambles for first downs (35) as Cam Newton since 2013, per @ESPNStatsInfo. That's, well, amazing.

66 games for Cam
62 games for Aaron

Good lord. In the past 24 games (including playoffs), Davante Adams (@tae15adams) has caught 114 passes for 1,499 yards and 18 touchdowns.


A lot of #Packers fans had doubts about Adams. His numbers will continue to go up. Why? Said Mike McCarthy: "He's the real deal."

Top 10 Most Accurate Throws of Aaron Rodgers' Career

I was just tonight looking at YouTube video and in fact Davante Adams has indeed been on the receiving end of some of Aaron Rodgers most amazing throws for TD's. ie see NO. 3 at 2:30 of this Video. That was an amazing catch.

There's more and NO. 1 at 4:54 mark. Aaron Rodgers amazing athleticism and arm strength and accuracy make this reception almost look 'Willie Mays' easy.

Green Bay has had some terrific WR's in my time watching them play. Aaron Rodgers has enjoyed several of those.

I'd say he's a #2 who produces like a #1 because he's such a great fit with Rodgers. He can't run past many people but he can make them bite on his jukes then get get past 'em.

He also has a somewhat surprisingly low catch rate, particularly for a guy who doesn't really go deep that often. You'd prefer your #1 to be much more successful I think. His 57% catch rate is worse than every receiver ranked higher than him on the FO list except Brandin Cooks (54%) who gets thrown to way farther downfield on average. Jordy has a 71% catch rate and Cobb 73% by comparison.

Obviously he's an athletic playmaker though if not as consistent as you'd like or a burner that can just flat out beat guys deep like some prototypical 1's such as A.J. Green

He feels like a Reggie Wayne guy. Still growing into the NFL and has a good skill group around him. Hopefully he keeps getting better and better.

This is basically how I feel and you did a great job doing the research and backing it up with numbers. I'm just uneasy with him as a #1. I don't think you can pay your receiving corps 30M per year, so I think one of Cobb, Nelson or Adams goes. My gut feeling is this is Nelson's last year with the Packers.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Case Keenum owns the QB spot with MN now. He's surprisingly accurate and plays rather well. He's going to give the Packers fits if they cannot rush him.

[call_me_ishmael]

Seems like Minnesota has a boatload of talent at spots other than QB. Just my perception.

Packers worked out Mike Daniels' brother, Sean, a defensive end from Temple who has played in Arena League. Other workouts today: G Cameron Hunt (Oregon), S Charlie Miller (Dartmouth), WR Tevaun Smith (Iowa), S Ahmad Thomas (Oklahoma).

Packers open as 3.5 point favorites according to Vegas. I'm a little surprised it's not a bigger spread after Minny's weak showing against the Bears.

i think his catch rate % is affected by Rodgers throwing him low percentage type passes. most of the long balls go to him, high passes, jump balls, etc. so he ends up with over-throws, defensed passes, and the occasional drop that everyone but cobb have. jordy and cobb get a lot of their catches during scramble plays.

[gbgary]

kinda concerned about this game. with the min qb/rb situation being unstable, min coming off a monday game, and with the Packers coming off such an emotional win here in dal, there might be a bit of a let down. Packers leadership needs to makes sure that doesn't happen. i've got a feeling this is going to be knock-down drag-out because the Packers will take a while to get serious.

[Bossman641]

When is Bakh going to be back(h)? This is getting ridiculous

[Joemailman]

Most of the country sees the game. Thom Brennaman and Troy Aikman with the call. Buck must be doing baseball.

I noticed in Michigan LP gets the Lions/Saints (Green) and UP gets the Packers. Is that always the case?

I don't see a letdown. Packers lost there last year and I'm sure they haven't forgotten it. I do see a tough game though because they're facing a desperate opponent. If the Vikings lose, they'll be down 2 games to the Packers with a game yet to be played at Lambeau. Vikings have already lost at home to the Lions. They can hardly afford another home division loss. This is pretty much a must-win situation for them, and they'll play like it.

Packers CB Kevin King has made progress through the concussion protocol, coach Mike McCarthy said. But no word on whether he's advanced enough to do some work on the practice field.

McCarthy on Ty Montgomery: "The plan is to practice today and see how he progresses."

David Bakhtiari is feeling better and looked good and practiced well yesterday, coach Mike McCarthy said. Could he play Sunday at Minnesota for the first time since his Week 1 hamstring injury? "We'll see what he's able to do today," McCarthy said.

[pbmax]

Listen, I honestly think they should rest Monty and his ribs. Those need to be healed up good for the stretch run. Even if he is RB #2 or third down guy, they will need him down the road.

And my advice is not because I just picked up Aaron Jones in FF.

[Pugger]

BASTARDS! Someone changed the listing for the Philly area. I checked Monday night and my guide said Packers/Vikings. NOW, it has the Redskins/49ers.

No, we should use Ty as our change of pace back and let him give Jones a breather.

This all seems like the perfect setup for one of those games in which the Vikes come out flying around and hitting, crisp and sharp, and the Packers look lost and dazed. Vikes pile up points, Packer fans swear and throw beer cans at the TV, the word "Fat" appears with increasing frequency in front of the word "Mike," and by halftime the Packers have a measly field goal and we're all wondering WTF.

What happens in the second half, I do not know.

Ya, but question is when do they bring him back? Wait till he is fully healed? Broken ribs take a couple months.

I think Montgomery's injury is a bigger loss than is appreciated. You really need to healthy backs who can produce every game.

The JSO article on Rollins today was interesting. I always assumed that what he lacks in straight line speed he makes up for in quickness or agility. The JSO writer suggests he is deficient in both speed and quickness. If that is the case, what was he drafted on???

In Minnesota, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer ruled out No. 1 wide receiver Stefon Diggs (groin), starting left guard Nick Easton (calf) and quarterback Sam Bradford (knee). With Bradford out, Case Keenum will get the start.

Missing Diggs and Cook are pretty large. That’s a lot of talent out. Doesn’t hurt my feelings one bit.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Missing Diggs and Cook are pretty large. That’s a lot of talent out. Doesn’t hurt my feelings one bit.So true. The Packers struggled when both Lacy and Nelson were out. But we still had Arod. Imagine if it was Keenum instead of Arod at QB. This game should tell us quite a bit about what both teams are made of.

I use vipbox. Seems to have much less malware and is much faster than other sites I have used.

Here was one suggestion this year. If I google it, I get https://vipbox.nu, which I have never heard of and have no idea if its legal, but it does list the Pack Vikes game this week.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Here was one suggestion this year.

Yeah, I will be using VIPBOX to day I'm in DC helping my son fix up his new, er 1900, home. Picture quality is by far the best and they provide multiple links per game so if one dies, just flip to another. Be sure u are running a malware detector though, I use malwarebytes which stops all the malware before it can be installed. I am not being paid by either vipbox nor malwarebytes.

It is clear to me that The Packers would suck without Aaron Rodgers who is IMO the Leading Candidate for NFL MVP so far this season. Give Rodgers better protection to throw the pass and it's going to be very tough on Minny.

The Packers game on the Road to lose. The Vegas line might have been moved from Packers -3.5 to (-7) !

A very large game not to lose.

GO PACKERS !

Yes red I just saw Fritz's post and our inactive Secondary.

Might have no picks, but also only 4 TD passes in four games (3 in one game, 1 in the other 3). A gunslinger he is not, and with Cook gone, their O doesn't look to be very dangerous.

Yup. Case Keenum has to have a huge game to keep the Vikings in the game.

This is the Packer game to lose.

They must leave Minny with a 'W' somehow. 4-2 here will SUCK.
