Official Packers vs. Vikings II Discussion Thread

[Tyrion Lannister]

The Vikings claimed RB Ben Tate off waiver from the Browns.

LeGarrett Blount is available if the Packers wanna counter. I realize that Thompson will get his dog killed if he signs Blount, but I wouldn't mind having the guy to run McCarthy's awful fullback dive. Ain't gonna happen, so haters, keep calm and relax. 3 reasons: 1, the Packers are not desperate at RB (Feed DuJuan the rock!); 2, Thompson loves his dog too much; and 3, Anyone who quits Mike Tomlin, the friendliest players' coach in the league, probably is not a team player, and therefore not "Packer people."

Still, lemme post this to keep folks humble. Some are starting to get cocky over the Pack's last two wins. Burnett, Williams, Hawk, Sheilds, WTF?

never saw that Burns tape before. Holy crap. Love the mention of Bob Schnelker - Hey Bob, run the reverse!

QFT. It's like they shut down Darren Charles or something!

Life imitates art.

I'm sweating sympathies after watching that vid. Is Burns still around?

Yep. Still kickin'! Ripe old age of 86 and living in Michigan!

Fuck. He looked 86 in that video.

Fuck. He looked 86 in that video.

Maybe but don't fuckin blame Schnelker for it. Fuck. He can't make the players not fuckin suck ass.

Had he just cursed them out and left the podium it would be the greatest coach rant ever. The longer he stuck around, the more he just seemed wounded and defeated.

Oh well, looks like Blount will returning to Lambeau Field after all...as a Patriot. Fuck him.

The 6'6" Darren Charles was not easy to shut down in high school. He was named Mr. Football in Wisconsin as a senior. Suffice it to say, it was David vs Goliath all over again when some short, whitish corner from an Appleton public school shut down Darren Charles.

That being said, we now return to your regularly scheduled programming about old Viking coaches.

Perry has a shoulder. If he can't go, Neal would be the logical replacement. Or does CMIII go back to the outside for a week? I am guessing Neal, but doesn't that raise concerns about ability to set edge on the left?

I dunno, I think he redeemed himself with the parting comment. Any response to that would've been railing against the wind.

Neale has been getting reps these past few weeks, where has he been playing? LOLB, with Perry and Mathews rotating at ROLB?

[Freak Out]

WTF?

Weather is going to be nice. Bridgewater is terrible. As long as our O-line holds we win this easy.

I heard there is a good chance it will rain so it could be a sloppy field.

vikings have to play in Detroit next Thursday. Two AP style whuppins in 4 days.
