The Official Packers Vikings Game Day Thread

[ThunderDan]

The Packers finally have a test tonight after 3 games against teams that were easy wins as long as the Packers stayed focused.

The Vikings are 6-0 at home this season but just like the Packers they played the NFC East and AFC West. Their best home win might be against Oakland.

The Packers need to do two things tonight and they will win the game. First, they need to stop the run. This will be easier without Cook playing but still needs to be job one. Second, they need pressure on Cousins. We saw what happened in week 2 at Green Bay.

I believe the Packers can do this and win a nail biter, 17-15.

Tonight will be TV sound off game for an extra boost of winning and an attempt to remain sane.

It will be like the 1980s in the house tonight as we get this new fangled thing called Entertainment and Sports Programming Network going AND listen to AM radio which is 8 minutes ahead.

I think the D plays lights out tonight and the offense gives Jones the ball enough to win.

David Bakhtiari now leads the league in pass block win rate as a tackle this season, at 95%. That means he has sustained 95% of his eligible pass blocks for at least 2.5 seconds.

Bakhtiari was second in PBWR as a tackle in 2018 and first in 2017.

MAYBE NOT AS BAD AS I HAVE BEEN IMAGINING.

A lot of the pressures seem to come from miscommunication or a misread by the C-RT spots. Like when they forgot to block Mack and instead doubled on the DE.
