    Packers v Vikings

    Last year correct me if I am wrong we didn't have Clifton or Tauch in against the purple punks right?

    Being under the deluge of crap in MN listening to the Fan on the way into work I cant handle them saying just because Favre is back they walk the division.

    If Harris is back don't we match up wonderfully against the Vikes this year? Tramon, Woodson, Harris and Underwood matching up against Harvin and Rice. Hawk v Thunderstick. Front 7 against AP. I like our odds on Defense.

    Offense Clifton stops JA. AR doesn't get sacked. Our WR against their D backs no contest and Finley catches 10 for 120 and 3 TDs against their LBs. I mean really the only thing they grade out better at is run defense against Grant and Kicking with Schlongwell

    I just wish it was on MNF this year instead of the Bears/Packers...

    Although one of the Vikings game is a Sunday Night Football game...

    I hope they beat Favre twice... That will surely make him come back for 2011

      It was fairly simple last year. Rodgers was sacked 14 times in the 2 games, Favre 0. If the Packers can do something about this difference, they will have a good shot at beating the Vikings.

          Interesting predictions. I believe however the last time Jared Allen went up against Clifton he sacked AR once for a safety, forced an illegal forward pass for a safety, and was in Rodgers face all game. In other words Clifton really did'nt fare much better than Lang.

            Clifton was coming off an injury and was reinjured in that game I believe. You're going down

              Jared Allen vs. Chad Clifton in his career:

              9/6/2008 - 0 tackles, 0 sacks
              11/9/2008 - 2 tackles, 1 sack (for a safety--which ARod should have thrown away, I believe)
              11/4/2007 - 3 tackles, 0.5 sacks

              Average = 2.3 tackles, 0.5 sacks

              Big difference between that and last year:

              10/5/2009 - 7 tackles, 4.5 sacks
              11/1/2009 - 5 tackles, 3 sacks

              Average = 6 tackles, 3.75 sacks

              Clifton has made him look pedestrian--while the guys last year single-handedly put Allen in the Pro Bowl. He had 7.5 sacks in those two games and 7 sacks in his other 14 games.

                    The Packers D will look bad this year as they did last year against the elite QB's. The passrush will be lacking and they will than get picked apart.

                      I love your August confidence bull. Ya know we have made a few adjustments to the defense since last year.

                            30 yards rushing from Grant isn't going to get the job done. If Rodgers is the leading rusher for the Pack it's over.

                            Also, I said it when the schedule was released: the NFL spared Favre (again) a cold weather game in GB. THe NFL also kept MN largely inside from late Nov through Dec. If I believed in conspiracy theories, these facts would drive me crazy!

                            Finally, the most important game in your season is the home game against the Division rival. You have to win that game. Packers win that gam last year, they get a bye and a home Divisional game. Huge difference. Packers HAVE to beat the Vikings at home. HAVE to.

                              I like how he includes a stat from a totally different line in the first comparison. Allen did not play with the likes of Kevin Williams, Pat Williams, Ray Edwards, LeTroy Guion, or Brian Robison in 2007. His teammates help his play, he helps his teammates play and so on. Either way to write him off, or any other member of the Viking's D Line is a mistake. October 24 is a long way out.
