Official Gameday Thread: ViQueens vs. Packers

[Fosco33]

Here's my hope:

Packers get 100+ yards rushing (and a TD) and 300+ passing for Brett (2 TDs and less than 2 INTs).

Packers hold AP to less than 150 yards and keep the Vikes under 20 points.

Don't think the Packers will cover 6.5 point spread (40% shot) but do go to 8-1.

Let's Go PACK

Now that we have the adolescent name calling out of the way, it's GAME DAY!

Hoser.

They have to get physical with AP. Every chance you get, fall on him awkwardly and inflict as much pain as possible. It sounds bad, but if you watch NE, they make it hurt every time they tackle. That is how defense is meant to be played IMO.

Bigby, Rouse (allegedly), Hawk, Poppinga and Barnett all have a nasty streak. I like the toughness in the middle of our defense and I hope they make Peterson pay a price for every extra yard. The key to the game is beating up Peterson.

Heres to a Packer win.

If I recall it was All Day putting the hurt on Collins in the first game.

1° of angle in that fall was the difference between Collins twisted knee and AP's broken ankle (see the similar Hawk tackle on LJ)

[RashanGary]

All I'm saying is they have to come out and punch AP in the mouth. The more physical team will win.

We have turned into the finese team and the Vikes are the physical team. If we don't get a running game going, the cold weather advantage Lambeau usually afforeds us, will be a detriment to our passing game.

If that's the case the Vikings have a great shot today.

[RashanGary]

Nobody has run the ball against Minny. Beating the Vikings is about takign advantage of their weakness (pass defense) and stopping their strength (AP)

To be honest, I'm not too worried about the offense. I think Favre will have a good day against a bad pass defense. I am worried about stopping AP. The defense has to be physical.

haha, we shall see.

AP is doing extremely well but don't think that Hutchinson and McKinney haven't had anything to do with it. The Vikes WR's are also blocking down field very well also.

Ladies and Gentleman, I present you the game inactives.


Green Bay Packers
Inactives: WR Shaun Bodiford, CB Will Blackmon, FS Nick Collins, LB Desmond Bishop, G Tony Moll, TE Bubba Franks, DT Justin Harrell, DT Daniel Muir.

Fantasy take: Donald Lee will continue to see more work at tight end with Franks out. Ryan Grant is active and will start against Minnesota



Minnesota Vikings
Inactives: QB Kelly Holcomb (3rd QB), WR Sidney Rice, DB Mike Doss, CB Antonie Winfield, FB Naufau Tahi, TE Garrett Mills, T Chase Johnson, DE Jayme Mitchell.

Fantasy take: Tarvaris Jackson is active, but Brooks Bollinger will start in Green Bay. Troy Williamson, Robert Ferguson and Bobby Wade will see most of the work at wide receiver. The absence of Doss and Winfield is good news for Green Bay's wide receivers and tight ends

[Rastak]

Shit, Rice and Winfield are out. That ain't good.

DD is going to have a big day :P
