Minnesota Vikings Appear to Have the Advantage in Rematch with Packers

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2603 ... th-packers

All going to come down to turnovers.
Hopefully we can keep enough pressure on Rogers that he's looking through the ear hole of his helmet for most of the game.

Rodgers looks really rattled and frustrated. This matchup couldnt come at a better time. The ONLY downside is that it is in GB. Of course, winning there will make it even more EPIC. His OL looked as bad as ours has been this year and his receivers are NOT up to snuff. Curiously, its their RB who will likely be the difference. When was the last Packer game where their ability to run was the main threat?

What leaves me scratching my head is how can Lacey always have good games against the Viks? Wasn't he pretty much written off as a long john eating fool before we played last time? We cannot continue to let him look like the second coming of Earl Campbell.....and I'm still not convinced of our run stop ability.

The last game we played we missed tackles ALL OVER the place. I do not think that is an Eddie Lacy thing so much as it is our defense not bringing it's "A" game. The same thing happened in SF and happened again against SEA. IMO, it is a sign of our youth, but I could be wrong.

I agree on TO being key. I feel that if our defense plays like it has the past two weeks and our offense can not make stupid mistakes then this is a game we should be able to just grind out and win with AP.

VIKINGSSS: 70... PACKERSS: 3

This entire season.

We avoid Buck and Aikman. That's always a positive.

Yep not having to listen to Buck and Aikman slobber over Arron Rogers all game is worth being flexed for sure .

Luckily this Viking team can actually win on the road unlike years past but the Packers were in a rough patch the last time we played them so recent struggles don't give me any comfort. I agree that the key to this game will be turnovers and also limiting penalties. I don't think the score last time was indicative of the on field play, recall that Peterson had a key fumble when the team was in scoring position that really turned the tide. I think the game was closer than the final score reflected (although the Vikings were certainly outplayed that day).

Winning in Fallout 4, excuse me, Lambeau is always a challenge but hopefully the Vikings are up to it. They need to control the clock and take the lead early. Play disciplined (no personal fouls/false starts) and have special teams help control field position.

Make sure All Day has extra fusion cores, hes going to need that power armor for Sunday.

Last game Erin was bailed out by some ticky tack pass interferences and illegal contacts on big third downs. One that led to a score right before half. It felt like they had 40 flags thrown against them that game.


AP had HUGE fumble in the red zone


I stand by my thought that zimmer let the team get their azz beat against Seattle to give them a reality check. I think he saw it coming in the week of practice leading up to the game.

Hopefully their qb doesn't get every call he whines for.

Only thing that is scary is that the pack just got whacked in the desert. They will be angry. Get pressure on little Ewin and this one is in the bag.

I like the Vikings 27-17

it will come down to our qb as i've said all year. if bridgewater has a good day passing they will win the game. i don't think its realistic to have 2 more pick sixes and 6 or 7 fgs. it has been noted that we kicked too many field goals last week and i agree. with that said, i thought brigewater threw a great pass to wallace and the defender made an excellent play in the end zone. we will face rodgers, (likely wilson) and god willing either palmer or newton. if we can't get the passing game rolling consistently we won't beat those teams. i can see us winning this week because zimmer will change up his game plan. and i think the same thing regarding seattle; we might not beat them, but we won't get stomped by them like the first time.

What ticky tacky PI or illegal contact are you reffering to? I remember a roughing the passer call that I could have seen gone uncalled, but other then that none of those penalties on that final drive of the first half seemed like there was much room for argument, maybe that PI flag that was picked up for an uncatchable ball.

Mike Zimmer did not allow his team to lose a game, especially one that had clear playoff seeding implications, that is silly.

I think this one comes down to the O lines and the running game. Our O line is massacred with injuries so you may be able to take advantage, hopefully though we will have most our starters returning.

If Eddy Lacy or James Starks runs for more yards then AP, I think this one is in the bag for GB, if AP has a big day I don't see this going well from my perspective.

I am pretty sure that is not what you have been saying all year (

Actually you have been saying all year is that TEDDY SUCKS AND WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING. Hope that you have been wrong because I have been saying all year that TB is the real deal and will be leading this team for years to come.
