Rodgers always looks good until Jared Allen is down his throat.

When Indy really cared the GB defense looked pathetic in the first quarter.

Last years stats vs the Vikes

Game 1: 384 yds, 2 TDs, 1 pick

Game 2:287 yds passing 3 TD, 52 yds rushing

Uh....looks like pretty good stats to me

Uh...nice try though!!

Jareds stats vs the Packers

Game 1: 7 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble and a WIN

Game 2: 5 tackles, 3 sacks, and a WIN

7.5 sacks in two games that resulted in 2 GB losses, Jared was down Rodgers throat all season.

[RiverFish]

And yet he still managed to pass for 671 yds, rush for over 50 yds, throw 5 TDs and only one pick last season against the Vikes. I would take those numbers against any team!

[flipper]

I precict the Vikes and the Packers will split this season.

I would rather have the 2 wins!

That's simple....he was playing from BEHIND in both of those games and NEEDED to throw the ball. Please go lay by your dish.

[RiverFish]

Agreed, wins are what are most important.

[RiverFish]

Zepman,

So are Allens numbers skewed than because he knew the Packers were going to be throwing?

What it the comment about the dish?

[zepman]

Probably...but his numbers proved to be more important in the end of those two games because he brought home the WIN!!

[RiverFish]

Allen didn't win the game by himself.

[zepman]

Almost...

[RiverFish]

Really.

[InTheNorthwoods]

...how bout that Tavaris Jackson.

[zepman]

Really.

Well, him and Favre...thanks for him by the way.

[Scott K]

...how bout that Tavaris Jackson.

I want to see T Jack play against the first string, in a real game before giving him any atta boys.

Last week I think it was the first time I have seen him lead the team, and it didnt look like he was lost out there. It looked like he took control over the team, like a real QB would do, and not just follow the play that was called. Maybe he learned something from Favre?

[RiverFish]

Yeah 7 passing TDs and 0 INTs in 2 games will usually win you those games.

[RiverFish]

Do you see the Vikes drafting a QB (1 or 2 round) in next years draft, with at this point knowing Brent is retiring?

I really hope so!

[zepman]

Either way it's too late IMO...they should have crossed that bridge in each of the past two years. Green Bay struck gold with Rodgers and I'm afraid the Vikes are going to be on the outside looking in for quite awhile after Favre leaves. Too many good YOUNG q-backs in our division and we're going to be left with TJack after this year. It was a good ride.

We can always trade for another old washed up QB

[RiverFish]

Bring back Cunningham

If you are counting Pre-season he had 2 of the best pre-season games in Viking history last season before Favre came in. He had a perfect QB rating in one game and near perfect in the other. He was fantastic. But why let the stats get in the way of a good whine session.

What makes you think he will REALLY retire this time?????
