Oh lord. No one home!

thats it walden, jog after him

Burnett with good follow and tackle. They had an alley he could jump to but Brnett got there first.

Wow, nice stop by woodson. Glad he's playing tonight!

[Guiness]

Ponder is the weak link this week IMO. The Viking offense had the advantage of peace and quiet last week in their dome. That won't be the case this week. It will be loud and cold. Ponder is dinged up. Woodson is going to be willing to fill the holes in the run game that Tramon pussed out with last week. I don't think Peterson has a huge day tonight. He'll get 100...but I'm not sure he'll get 150. I think the Packers will be focused on starting fast. That is the biggest key for them IMO. If Green Bay gets up 10 or 14 early, it's over. Ponder can't bring them back.

Like JH just said...EVERYTHING went the Vikings way last week. The dome, no turnovers, early 14 point lead, AP running for 200. They barely won with a last second field goal. The Vikings won't be perfect tonight. The Vikings gave their all last week and it will difficult to replicate that for a second week in a row. Ponder is dinged up. One big hit on him could completely change the course of this game. You can bet the Packer defense is counting on that.

This won't be a walkover. The Vikings and Packers always play each other tough, regardless of record. However, the Packers will be in control by the 4th quarter and a late Viking score will probably make the score closer than it actually is. Packers 31, Vikings 24

Bonus giblet...superkicker Walsh misses his first 50+ try tonight. Sorry kid, Lambeau in January isn't the Humpty Dome.

A lot of this is how I feel - so many things went right for the Vikings last week. It won't take too many bounces going the other way to change a lot of the outcome.

Webb is looking scary early, mostly that we don't know just what to do!

In the grasp!!!


Its a 3 and OUT! Hallelujah!

[pittstang5]

Wrap him up WAlden. God, thank you!

[mmmdk]

NICE READ D! First really good play.

[mmmdk]

That was a backwards pass!

[red]

need 7 here

can't settle for anything less

[Guiness]

What a brain fart by Webb! He luckily saved them 10 yards or so, but that toss straight up in the air was pretty close to turning into a pick 6.

nice to see the bad choice bug has already bit webb

Also, thank you to everyone who pointed out the redundancy of using "frozen" and "tundra" in the same sentence. BECAUSE SCIENCE! #sciencing

OMG SPORTSCASTERS STOP CALLING LAMBEAU "THE FROZEN TUNDRA". THE FIELD IS HEATED AND IS IN NICER SHAPE THAN HOUSTON'S. #WARGLEBLARGLE
