Official Packers vs. Vikings Gameday Thread

[pbmax]

Let's not forget the Giants. They have a medium-tough schedule, but their DL is really healthy right now. They're dangerous. They have half a game on us too.

It's three teams fighting for that 2nd spot. We're a half game behind both.


Jennings looked really good. Matthews and Woodson will be coming back. House has taken that spot from Shields IMO. Hayward is clearly our best inside CB. Shields is not going to play unless there is an injury. It was nice to see the run game pick up. Barclay is a tough guy. I like his style. . . . We put together a heck of a drive there in the 2nd half. Long drive. Nice to see. Peterson went off. Poor tackling again. Getting Woodson and Matthews on the field really helps our tackling. Will be nice to have Matthews and Moses in there. People talked about it. I'm buying stock in that. Take Walden out and put Moses in on those passing downs, and we could have something. JJ is a big TD weapon for us. No one better on this team going up for a jump ball. Finley ran a sweet inside route. Had the safety going to wrong way. That's rare from him. Showing some growth. Playing tough.

Overall, there are a lot of good things going for this team. We're going to have to get hot here. It's going to be an exciting finish. . . .

Isn't JPP out this week?

WOW! Watching Pit @ Bal and that 'old fella' Penguin backup 'backup' Charlie Batch is doing very well today.

He just made two excellent pass's on a 7 play drive and threw a key block on a J. Dwyer TD run.

Score knotted at 13 all. I'd love to see the Steelers get a win in Baltimore today with Charlie Batch at QB.

Justin Tuck and Jason Pierre Paul sat out yesterday's practise. Game time decisions?

Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul was unable to practice for the second straight day due to a back issue. The Giants' best pass rusher is listed as questionable for the game although head coach Tom Coughlin expects Pierre-Paul to play barring a setback. Pierre-Paul has dealt with back issues in the past.

Starting defensive end Justin Tuck (foot) and safety Antrel Rolle (illness) were also new additions to the injury report. Both did not practice on Saturday but are listed as probable to play.

That played out pretty much how I expected it to .

Dammit, I missed the game. How'd it go?

Heres the box:

Looks like All-Day kicked our ass, but wasn't enough on his own.

[digitaldean]

Go, go Joe Charboneau!

I mean Philbin!


Only Rand and baseball geeks will get that.

I remember the song for Cleveland player rookie of the year candidate Joe Charbonneau.

They had one chance. To run AP like a horse and for some reason they didn't squeeze the trigger on that. At one point that game looked lost for us and strange as it might see. That 47 yard FG by Mason Crosby in the 3rd quarter to pull us within 1 point or 13-14; seemed to light a fire under us. Morgan Burnettt's two picks were timely and huge. Both RB's Starks and Green ran well; but most importantly were used with some consistency.

Now we need to find out that we didn't loose any more starters.

GO PACKERS !

[woodbuck27]

How about Charlie Batch and the way he played today to pull off that huge win in Baltimore. I watched that game for the most part and he played very well.

[Pugger]

No, if the Packers win out, SF would only have to lose 1. SF is now 8-3-1, Packers are 8-4, and Giants are 7-4.

Go 'Skins.

What truly surprised me in the game was MN didn't keep Peterson in there on passing downs when they could have utilized play-action.

He can't pass protect. really, he can't.

Yes...we saw what Ray Rice did last week (Ravens @ Bolts) just coming out of the backfield to lend a short passing option for Joe Flacco when his reads downfield spelled nothing. Ponder's arm isn't good. Give him a short pass option to the best RB in the NFL. I felt that AP should have been used even more, given the importance of this game to the Vikings. Then there's this:

Looks like All-Day kicked our ass, but wasn't enough on his own.

He needs help from the Queens fans:
