OFFICIAL Packers @ Vikings Game Thread

Is it the bye now?

Yes.

[Badgerinmaine]

If TWill doesn't get hosed on that pick and Lee grabs that TD pass, we might have won the game. It's amazing how a couple plays like that change everything.

How about if Woody's INT in the endzone was held up??

That would have changed a lot--good point. I can't complain too much about the refs tonight, but that was a ticky-tack call.

[Brohm]

Speaking of D, our DBackfield is decimated. I don't think TWill is a starter. We have no SS. Collins is a FA after this year. After AL and CW we have squat. Kampman is not fitting well atm. Chillar or Barnett next year?

[PackerTimer]

Is it the bye now?

Yes it is. Hopefully Clifton will be healthy and we can move Spitz and Colledge back to their normal positions.

I don't recall hearing Barbre's name once tonight. I think he's getting better. Maybe if we can just get some guys back to their normal position things will improve.

But I agree with others, I'd really like to see us bring in a vet or two over the bye and see if we can improve some.

Favre owns Capers.

That's a little funny because there are at least two wins for the Pack and Favre versus the Steelers that were completely luck. Yancey Thigpen's drop and one other game where Pittsburgh just beat us to death and we still won. I think the second one was in the Burgh.

Barbre had a bad play early on, but not as bad later.

If Rodgers has a line that gives him 2 more seconds to work with it's a different game....instead he's getting worked OVER again.

...and we have ZERO sacks.

TT needs to drop some $$ on appropriate extensions and get a couple vets in over the bye.

Well Waldo called it, Colledge will be paid like a guard.

[Fosco33]

Iffy call(s) on CWood's INT

TWill wiffing on 3rd down leading to a TD

4th down

Any of those change the game - granted the Vikes wouldn't have been in prevent to make the game closer.

[woodbuck27]

Well, that is the ball game. Valiant effort at the end. If Lee caught that TD we are going to OT despite getting dominated. That is at least something.

I give Rodgers a ton of credit for continuing to fight tonight. He got his ass destroyed and fought to the end.

Overall this was a dam well played game by Aaron Rodgers; far short of perfect but this is only his second year

What did Ron Wolf say? He would never put stumblebums in front of Favre?

No one remembers that he struggled to find guards and a new LT, but he eventually got it right in spades.

Thompson needs to get it done now.

Will Ted Thompson ever get it right. . . .

Already has.
Rodgers.

The QB (ARod) is very sound but there needs to be so much more man.

My bad, it was Woody's pick I was referring too..

I cannot believe the game was this close at the end. They were destroyed in all three facets of the game in my opinion. We were a dropped TD away from OT.

What does that say?

I'm so pissed at Capers. The powder puff 4 rushers is what lost the battle on 3rd down and long imo.

The game wasn't as close as the score. The Vikings relaxed on D and we scored, but come on. We were dominated that whole game in every area. A couple bright spots were Arod playing his ass off and stopping the run. Everything else was horrible.[/quote

I agree with you 100%.

I rarely agree with that assessment, 60 minutes is 60 minutes, the score is the score. Stats were also close except the mistakes and sacks.

I think I remember that now. But he's been much better since the Chicago game.

Hoo boy. Going to be an ugly 2 weeks on the Internets.

Yea. It'll be a good time to hide out and get some work done.

Rodgers PC on WISN. He is a very good team mate and handles interviews very well.

[Partial]

Wow, 55 yards is all AP had on 25 carries? I feel like he had a few long ones, too.

That is something to be happy about. 3rd and long was horrible, though.
