How good are the queens at stopping the run?

[pbmax]

Football Outsiders has them 22nd with an emphasis on more recent games. 23rd against the pass and 9th against the run. Their numbers are very close to NE's defense, but they have been much less consistent, getting better lately.

I want the Packers to win so badly that I'm actually pretty scared of a Vikings win - it would destroy me [for a few days]!

C'MON PACKERS

The Viking 'D' was very good last week all round @ Houston. They gave up a very low 34 yards on 16 carries. Recall that Arian Foster was reported as having a heart murmer in that game. That may be a factor as he only had 10 carries.

The Packers Injury report should give you hope:

Jeremy Ross looked pretty good on that punt return last week. I was just curious what kind of athlete he is. Guy is 6' tall 210lbs, ran a 4.37 and 4.52 at his pro day. 39 inch vertical jump. His agility numbers were equal to Cobb. . . . He's a good notch over Cobb as a pure athlete. He sure looked quick and fast on that return.

At Cal he wasn't a particularly good WR, but he was a good returner. I wonder if he could be play coverage units on ST's (maybe even gunner. He has that body type) and return punts/kicks for us next year. He certainly looked capable last week.

DuJuan Harris had 14 KO returns for Jax last year. We might see more of that in the future. I don't think they'll be looking to take Cobb completely off returns, but they will want to reduce his workload, especially on KO returns.

Yes. Yes it does. The hope on hope here is that we get this win and following the bye week it, it looks even better. We have a chance here, to look like the beast of the NFC. This game means a lot and it will tell a lot.

Packers vs. Vikings: PJD's Masturbatory "For All the Marbles" Game Preview

" HOLY SHIT. OK, let me get this out of the way first. I think we win. I don't know why or how, but I think we do. I haven't even dreamed of another world for the past week where we aren't playing again the following week in the playoffs. I've visualized these events occurring so god damn hard that I'll be concussed probably if it doesn't all come to fruition. I'm so sure the Vikings are firing at all cylinders that I haven't even really thought about this opponent as being the Packers, really, it just seems like another bunch of assholes that we're going to ram our Vikings' spears through and call it a day. Now THAT's confidence! " Fr. LINK

Comment woodbuck27:

Maybe that's just ' positive thinking ' rather than ... the 'power of ' positive thinking.


GO PACKERS !
