The Official Vikings@Packers Gameday Thread

Favre said he doesn't know if he'll play next week...he says that all the time...but he looks like a player that's had enough and it drained.

That would be so gratifying! Packers game end his streak!!

I swear...I don't think he'll be starting next week. He looks like he's drained and maybe done with the game. When he left the podium...he looked like the needed a wheel chair. He had to be helped down the stairs.

At least he wouldn't end career with int.

the suspension that's lurking will kick in instead. he'll be back in time for our visit to MN. NFL likes to create drama

Favre taking the high road so far
Said he can't disagree with Chilly on his read on the Hawk INT

No matter what Favre has done lately, tonight he showed more class in defeat than his coach. It will be an interesting situation between those two going forward.

The streak is probably more historical than Cal Ripken Jr.'s. I hope it ends after week 17 this year and not a moment sooner. Don't forget, most of the streak was in green and gold.

In my mind, he's a dirtbag. I do not wish him well. He went to the Vikes to stick it to the Packers, for no other reason. I can't play football, but I can be just as spiteful as Bert.

Good night my Packer family. Great night to be a Packer fan.

Exactly. The texting shit finally tipped me from a bert fan, but now after his presser i gotta admit he's still the bert I knew for the last 20 years

Great win for the team...needed it badly. Still upset with some of MMs decisions...not challenging the spot before the second 4th-and-1...the fake FG play...running the same damn 4th-and-1 play after it didn't work the first time...continuing the trend of tossing 40 yard bombs on 3rd and short. Amazingly, he gets some credit this week for rushing the extra point after the Quarless TD, which was huge.

This game was won in spite of another mediocre showing from the offense. Rodgers did not seem to be on the same page with many of his receivers, and got happy feet again at times. Driver has all but disappeared the last 2-3 weeks and we need to think about promoting both Jones and Nelson over him IMO. Running game had its moments, but it seems they either gain 12 yards or gain 2 yards...not much in between. Can't gain a yard when they need it either.

Defense played well again considering how many regulars are out. Capers is nothing short of a magician considering what he's working with. The guy has a college level DL in there half the time. Still were able to collapse the pocket on occasion. Coverage made big plays when the defense did get pressure on Favre.

Chilly tossing Bert under the bus is funny...Favre was driving that team for a win until their RT decided to yank Clay's facemask around a few times to see if he could play a role in The Exorcist. Chilly should've been calling AP's number all night anyway. The Vikings win if they just pound the ball on the ground all night long.

Goodnight from Denmark - thanks to all - and nice post, leaper, I agree with 99%

[imscott72]

Listening to KFAN right now, and they think Favre wants to quit. They think he's totally emotionally and physically spent. After watching his presser I'd have to agree. When asked if he was going to go next week, it was like he didn't want to answer.

[The Leaper]

Favre won't finish this season...the guy's body simply is breaking down after years of punishment. Tack on the fact that the fun is now gone considering the Vikings situation, and I'd be surprised if Favre was still playing 4-6 weeks from now. He's a warrior, but it is quite obvious that the guy isn't at 100% right now...and this is even after he's had the bye week to recover. I honestly can't see Favre playing when December rolls around. He won't be able to walk by that point.

I thought MM should have challenged the spot on Jennings' catch but other then that I thought he coached a good game. He stuck to the run a little bit more than normal, and mixed in a good amount of RB screens and even some TE screens (which was a new wrinkle).

I know everyone likes to criticize when Rodgers throws deep on 3rd and short, but without knowing which WR is the first option on those plays there's no way to know whether to put it on Rodgers or MM.

Good! It's just the career ending I want for the friggin' treacherous slimebucket.

When we started discussing this game on the Vikings thread, I posted no team would win, one team would lose.

If Bert doesn't throw 3 picks, Vikes prolly win. So my prognosis was correct. The Vikes, or Bert, lost the game.

I'll take it, though!

You have to give the Packers D a lot of credit. The first INT was due to pressure and a guy hanging on Favre throwing him off balance while throwing. The second INT was a GREAT play by Collins. The third was a miscommunication between Favre and Moss. Blame Favre for that one.

Rodgers also took two certain scoring opportunities and threw them in the toilet, so it wasn't all Favre giving this game away.

Give the Packers some credit Packer fans!

Now i get to watch the late vikings tv sports whiners

Post the best reactions. But I am sure WI sports radio will all be giving the W short shrift tomorrow morning. Bunch of complainers you people!

Over at a Vikes forum here in the Twin Cities they are pissed as hell at Favre and Childress.

General concensus is that Favre hung on too long and Childress is a terrible coach. The decision to not even try and score before halftime was dumb.

The usual moaning on how the refs gave the Packers the game. But they complain about the officiating in every loss.

A lot of grumbling about the DL. Wondering how it is they have fallen so far so fast in the pass rushing department.

[HarveyWallbangers]

his limp got noticeably worse after he got into the tunnel

Camera was still on him. Limp got noticeably worse after each interception.

[vince]

The Packers D-Line battled hard while SEVERELY short-handed to start the game. Then Jenkins and Pickett go down tonight...? My God, that was a herculean effort by some late round kids in Wilson and Wynn. Hell they had Zombo playing DE at the end.
