The Queens are the most over-rated team in the NFL wich is exactly what this team does not need. The Queens biggest problem will, again, be getting over themselves. They need to replace that helmet tadpole with a DA for Deluded Again.

Jared Allen didn't do much against the Pack last year b tmaybe his mouth will get him arond Chad Clifton. Another big mouth. lard ass Pat Williams was so gassed in the first quarter of the 34-0 game he looked like an expiring whale out there. The guy's over the hill like Sharper.

The Queens have serious problems in their pass D again, which is why most teams that have a tv won't waste much time running the ball. The o-line stinks and AP and TJ will be hurt again from being gang-tackled in the backfield.

And, Childress is the worst coach in the NFL but he's loved all over Wisconsin and by the millions of Packer fans in Minnesota.

You gotta play the games:

Pack 42
Queens 3

Gravedigger, your post has great validity other than chosing 3 pro-bowlers as a reason for weakness, exaggeraging the time that Madeiu Williams will be out, and you absurd prediction of the final score. Nice job! Better luck next time.

The past two years has demonstrated that the Packers new coaching staff has consistently out coached the Vikings new staff.

If we think the Packers are going to drop Rodgers three steps and have him sit in the pocket to wait for the rush, we'd be idiots.

The Pack will utilize plays that eliminate an effective pass rush.......screens, draws, play action, quick underneath routes, roll outs...it will be endless.

If the Vikings stop the Packer offense, it won't be because of the sack total, it will be the play of the linebackers.

The Vikes D-Line certainly does have a name: The Four Norsemen of the Apocalypse!

Brett won another today, had good numbers too, and you expect Rodgers to follow suit? LOLOLOLOL, good one.
The pressure just mounted, and Aaron is still sitting on that chair he spent all that time during draft day on.
If Aaron does lose, will the press ask him about Brett? Like, now that it's your team, are you glad that Brett is in NY now and still winning?
The pressure cooker is just getting warmed up.

Ignore gravedigger -- that dude's doing the same thing many of us do on cheeser sites. The difference is you can get about 50 immediate indignant cheeser responses since they're too stupid to realize the post was made to rile em up, whereas most people here ignore the losers. I agree with Mad Dog on the coaching differences and the need for strong LB play Mon night. It will be interesting to see how great their coaching looks like without Favre. Given the injuries to 2 of our 3 key free agents, other than the QB's, the teams aren't really that different than the ones that played that last game 34-0, so I don't see why everyone is so dang cocky.

Last year the running game for the pack did not arrive until mid-season. It looks gimpy again. Last year BF carried them while they gimped. Rogers will not be able to do that. He will be hit often and early causing him to make many mistakes. I can here "Bring back Bret" chants by the fourth quarter. Actually I would not be surprised to see a comment form BF at halftime. If Rogers takes a beating, Bret may be glad he was dealt. There has been no camera all week. I just feel that the 0-4 Vikes are ready on explode onto the field and mess up Rogers day the same way they messed up the opening day of the stadium. For once I hope we get to see some offense creativity. I cannot wait. No matter what happens it is just one game, but Brad C needs it bad.

We will see tonight if our new D-line will take its place in team history right up there with the Purple People Eaters. Four Norsemen of the Apocalypse. Catchy. Go Vikings!
