Vikings Week

[Fritz]

How many times the last several years have we seen an opponent's injury list be longer that the Packers' injury list, even by one player?

Of course, to offset this, the Packers' All-World QB is on the list, while only two of their players had even limited participation...

[hoosier]

Yeah, the Vikings injury list a BFD list whereas the Packers have a BIG FUCKING DEAL on theirs. Length is not everything, as they say.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The packer injury list has more girth.

[Tony Oday]

Hopefully it has less stamina!

Since it's Queens week, lemme remind y'all once again that Todd shoulda drafted hip-hop saftey Harrison Smith instead of the one-trick pony, injury-prone Nicki Perry. Man, H-Smith, the current NFC D-playa of the week, is one motherfucking stud. Dude could've been Collins' replacement in the Green and Gold.

The Packers had MD Fucking Jennings and Charlie Peprah playing saftey. Drafting Smith was a no-brainier. Instead, Todd incompetently took a defensive end to play OLB in the Packers' system.

[mraynrand]

Some advantage in this. Obviously we want Arod to play, but Kizer can use the work.

Yeah, no. Unless Rodgers absolutely can't go, Kizer should be doing no more than pulling splinters out of his tukus Sunday evening. As far as playoff goals are concerned, a home game against your top division rival is about as must-win as you can get.

AR listed as questionable... Does anyone believe he is actually not going to play on Sunday?

I did read somewhere else that Vegas actually had the odds greater that he wouldn't play on Sunday.

Cheez, I'd be shocked if he didn't play unless it's a solid grade 2 sprain they feel could get completely torn. I highly doubt that since only morons would send him back out against the Bears in that scenario. Especially in light of the huge contract extension.

My guess is a pain threshold thing and he ain't gonna be real mobile. I hesitate to bet against the Vegas guys but how could he miss this game and it's medically justified going back in last week?

I agree, unless playing on it last week actually made the injury worse.
I wonder if the sleeve he was seen wearing on his knee was a gift from Favre.

It could be a gift from Favre :^) . He's back in the fold. I suppose it could have gotten worse but I would presume since he didn't get drilled there during the game and the medical staff knew enough to not put him out there where wear and tear would cause it to get worse.

In terms of talent, Minnesota is considerably better across the board - except of course at QB.

The only chance we have is Rodgers and Pettine having great games, and the Vikings being a little out of sync.

[smuggler]

I wouldn't say "across the board" but they are a very talented team.

[mraynrand]

Cousins can be had, You don’t have to sack that guy to freak him out. Just get pressure early and often. Problem is you have to do it out of mostly a run defense formation or they’ll gut you with their running game. Though I’m not sold on their O-line. But they can be very patient. You can’t count on scoring a lot of points.

[Harlan Huckleby]

It is amazing that there are so many dummies willing to bet their hard earned money on roughly even odds when Rodgers is at 70%. It's one thing to be a fan and talk big in a forum. But to pay for it?
