Is this Vikings Week?

[Tony Oday]

Wow I thought we had passionate rats here...our team hits a little road bump, struggles a little bit and you can't get excited for a rivalry...honestly its like reading stuff from the Vikings fans...wow

That can't possibly be true - Viking fans don't know how to read, let alone write.

Just spit my sprite all over the computer...thanks!

That's right! BRING BACK THE[ CLAYMAKER!!

Half man, 20% aluminum oxide, 23% silicon oxide, and 7% water!

I just heard "Bang on the Drum All Day" driving home from lunch. It's a sign.

The Packers will score at least 35 on Sunday.

Bank on it!

Is that a Todd Rungren or a Ringo Starr song?

I'll be watching the game Sunday night rooting like hell for the Packers to whomp the Vikes.

My guess is a close game, like they all have been so far this year.

But if Matthews plays and stays healthy (and if the team doesn't suffer any more injuries) then dangit, they can win.

We'll all feel a lot better Monday morning if the Packers win that game. Then posters will be studying the upcoming scheduling and wondering how long before GB catches da Bears.

I think its the start of a 9-1 run!!! GO PACK!!!

Not only do I think the Packers will not win, I don't even think they have a chance. I'm prepared for a loss and the season being officially over.

Hey channtheman - just noticed you live in Mesa, AZ. I was born in Phoenix - been there long?

Vikings WR Harvin limited in practice with hamstring injury

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin has a hamstring injury.


Harvin was added to the injury report Thursday and listed as a limited participant in practice. Harvin returned a kickoff for a touchdown in last weekend's victory over the Dallas Cowboys, and afterward he called himself as healthy as he's felt all season.

Tight end Jim Kleinsasser took part in some of Thursday's practice, and Vikings coach Brad Childress said he doesn't believes "there's any doubt he'll play" this Sunday at Green Bay. Kleinsasser has a groin injury.

Starting safety Husain Abdullah sat out again, recovering from a concussion. Cornerback Chris Cook was limited in practice, but Childress said the rookie moved around better than the previous day. Cook is recovering from a torn meniscus in his left knee.

I know the headline dictates this should go into the official Favre thread, but it's a spin on the game, so I put it here:

3. Gunslinger back again

Brett Favre returns to Lambeau Field for the second time since he left the Packers. Green Bay has not beaten Favre yet, but things could change. Last year, the Vikings sacked Aaron Rodgers 14 times in two games, and that was the deciding factor. Minnesota is not getting after quarterbacks this year with only six sacks and just one from Jared Allen. The tables could be turned with the Packers getting Clay Mathews back, and the Pack tied for second in the NFL with 21 sacks. The Vikings have also lost six road games in a row, including the playoffs, heading into Green Bay.

Forecast for rain, which I think is good, maybe it'll force M3 to run the ball more. It'll be a fistfight.

[Tarlam!]

It'll be a fistfight.

Well, that worries me with the OL. The only guy who play with any attitude is Josh Sitton.

Better hope Picket gets back, he, Raji and Jenkins are all pretty agressive.

5. Pass protection issues

Pass protection is key to winning and losing. The dam broke for four teams last week, and their quarterbacks were sacked at least five times. San Diego (seven sacks), Chicago (six), Cleveland (five), and Green Bay (five) have to fix a major problem, or a quarterback will be lost sooner rather than later.
