The Official Vikings@Packers Gameday Thread

Nice to see several Packer players coming over to kindly greet him

I'm sure there were several Viking players coming over to kindly greet Rodgers, but you wouldn't know it.

[Tarlam!]

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.

The Collins INT was a great play on the ball, but Bert shouldn't have thrown it. I do give a lot of credit to the makeshift D. No qustioen. The point is, it's a makeshift D, and the Vikes should have put more points up than they did, as should the Packers.

Give the Packers some credit Packer fans![/quote]

his limp got noticeably worse after he got into the tunnel

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

Surprised he didn't throw in an elbow grab as well.

The decision to not even try and score before halftime was dumb.

Yep. Thankfully, it covered up ANOTHER McCarthy brain fart by calling a timeout to try to get the ball back. Your defense is mostly on IR. The other team has Randy Moss. WHY IN THE HELL DO YOU CALL A TIME OUT THERE??? MM got lucky that Childress wimped out.

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.

Everybody loves to shred TT, but let's give the man some credit for giving us such a deep team that can still hang despite all the injuries.

TT's biggest fault is that he's in bed with MM and won't can him anytime soon

Guys on KFAN basically accusing Favre of faking the ankle..Hilarious..

It's pretty easy to see how much Matthews, even though he didn't get a sack, changes the complexion of the defense. It would be nice if there was someone on the other side that was also a serious threat to pressure the QB.

We just had our 2nd draft as a 3-4 team and picked up a good T, a good DE and a good S. Give us a little more time to find the bookend to CMIII.

he rattled bret one play and the next play by bret was an interception. Clay should get a half int. to his record for that

This pic says it all for tonight!


Thanks BERT!!

I'm feelin' ya Dan. Good point. Neal looks like he's got the goods to be a solid player at least... Burnett too. He got Matthews already... Jones in the 7th is a steal.... Zombo... He's actually done very well in that time.

It's just amazing to me that they beat the Vikings with only Raji, C.J. Wilson and Jarius Wynn on the DL. For all of MM's questionable decisions, he does get this team to respond well to adversity.
