Bridgewater did not practice today.
I'll be there. Guaranteed win. Big win too. 35-10 Packers.

#Packers who did not practice today: Barrington, Boyd, Boykin. Matthews was a full participant, B. Jones was limited.
I would say brad jones is very limited
I watched Minnesota against Atlanta and they looked good. Asiata and McKinnon at RB consistently gashed Atlanta. Their receivers are top notch...as good or better than ours. A lot hinges on whether Bridgewater is ready to play. The kid is the real deal. Also, they're banged up pretty good. Kyle Rudolph and Greenway are also big injury question marks. If Bridgewater and Rudolph play, it could be a nail biter.
Let 'em run... they won't beat us with that.
And Red-- great Randy avatar. Want a cheeseburger? One of the few good things to come out of Canada: TPB
The Vikings have the best O-line in the division. They will definitely be able to run on us. We have to play good coverage and not miss tackles. Their defense doesn't scare me, but if we make too many mistakes, it's a game we could easily lose.
Must win game against a divisonal foe. Pack will win.
Had to sell our tickets because I am on vacation.
with bridgewater's ankle the Packers better not fall for any of that option crap. he won't be running. also...I'm watching the min v atl game rewind... he threw to the backs a lot.
Nine points? Hmmm....not sure about that.
Could be thunderstorms during the game. Don't think you can predict who that might favor. Kind of depends on who can hold onto the ball the best.
Yep, he did.
Lotta old school screens, too. they have one screen from the wide side with all the receivers throwing blocks for the wide screen man. It was a cool play.
AT UL, TB would have a great game, maybe two. Then an average game, followed by one or two stinkers.
I'm rooting for a pipe bomb game for the rookie.
His mobility is cut down, let's heat him up and run him outta Lambeau.
Black QB? Shheeeeiiitttt, that be like Kryptonite for the Packers. All we need is Mobb (aka Infamous) here to sing his praises and the Pack is fucked. Hate that pesky kneegrow.
My prediction is this: The Packers run off the field at halftime, losing the game, and the fans are showering boos down upon the team and the coaches.
Defense will be gashed, offense will sputter.
The second half? I dunno. But I see them stinking up the joint in the first half.
Rudolph is out.
They actually have a very nice 1-2 punch with Asiata and McKinnon at RB now. Asiata is a guy that can get what's blocked, very solid in short yardage and a pretty good receiver. McKinnon is an athletic freak with raw talent that can bust one from anywhere on the field. This is what I think the problem will be. We can stop their passing game but can we stop the running game? Recent history say NO.
The Vikes will look to slow this game down by pounding the ball on their end. Forget Bridgewater. Their gameplan cannot possibly consist of them trying to win a shootout with GB.

Confirming what @McClain_on_NFL reported earlier, the #Texans have signed CB Jumal Rolle off #Packers' practice squad
If you're the Vikings OC, wouldn't you run the jet sweep with Cordarelle Patterson 15 to 20 times? Or until Green Bay proved they could stop it (which would probably be sometime during the 2016 season)?
Dom will roll out the new 1 - 1 - 9 alignment to stop that running game cold!
Favored by 9? I'd bet on the Vikings to cover that. Nothing has come easy for the Packers this season and I don't like the matchup.
Edit: apparently Chewy says we'll win by 30+
The Vikings are reeling a bit... Peterson is gone, Bridgewater may not play - Ponder can't win games on his own.
As inconsistent as we are overall, and as abysmal as we are on defense - I would still expect we will cover the 9 pts.
I think the Packers win this fairly easily only because I think Ponder will start. Stubby supposedly has said this week that he needs to start using Starks more. We will see about that, he will probably stick with his predictable game plans until the day he's fired.
Packer Report @PackerReport 2h2 hours ago
For #Vikings vs. #Packers, Greenway and Rudolph are out. Bridgewater was limited participation and is questionable.
Ryan Wood @ByRyanWood 3h3 hours ago
#Packers injury report:
Barrington doubtful
Boyd doubtful
Boykin out
Jones probable
Lang (no injury)probable
Matthews probable
Neal probable
I'm sorry, that was unnecessary roughness against a senior citizen.
Stubby made a statement today that Boykin's injury is worse than they originally thought.

60 pounder!! Nice fish.
I hope they keep reeling like this. 550+ yards of offense last game. As for Bridgewater. they are playing the gametime decision but I think they forgot to tell Teddy to play along. He talked about how much fun it will be to play tomorrow in such a historic stadium. Sure didn't sound like an "if I play". I suppose that in itself could be a ruse.
I grade on a different scale of the rest of you guys I guess... I fully expect we should beat a lesser team like the Vikings - no offense Rastak ;)
If Bridgewater plays?? He's a rookie, i.e. he'll be big-time up and down... long term he may be the answer for the Vikes, but this season is going to be a big learning curve; and if Ponder starts - Ponder is Ponder.
We got waxed by 2 teams that I consider to be better than us - Seattle and Detroit; and we beat a bad Jets team, and looked terrible on defense beating an about even team in the Bears.
If Peterson were playing?? I don't think the line would be 9, and I don't think we'd cover 9, but given the circumstances - yes, we should cover. Even with dunderdummy preening his spraypainted hair in the coaches booth ;)
