Uncle Bill Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Vikes will look awesome the first half. Scoring quickly, totally dominating the pack, offensively and defensively... . . . . And then a completely different Vikings team/staff will emerge for the second half, with safe little running plays for little gain , no first downs, go into the prevent defense that totally gives up the middle, allow the pack to score at will time after time...... and blow it. Happens all the time... Aint easy being a Vikings fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solbes Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I don't think the Packers are that great of a team anymore. Against most opponents, I'd say they are pretty vanilla. 10-6 is their ceiling this year, I bet they finish 9-7 and contend for the division title (North blows this year).That said, Rodgers will have a field day with our D. His numbers against us are insane. Maybe Zim has a prescription for defending him, I can hope.If Teddy can replicate what he did last week it will be very entertaining indeed. Isn't it supposed to rain a lot tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haleysgold Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The latest report says the Vikings "are leaning towards not starting Teddy".I'm changing my prediction if that's the case.GB wins by 17No way Ponder can get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMusky Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Unless Bridgewater is 100% I hope he sits. Let him rest. If it rains like they bare saying running game should be key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YiGGiN4SLoBS Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 with a better QB playing at home. . This i can agree with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YiGGiN4SLoBS Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I don't see it being that close. The pack are just plain and simple a better team Pack win 31-10. This i don't agree with at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YiGGiN4SLoBS Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ha! Gotta love blaming the refs for the loss before it even happens. Pack win but don't cover, 31-23 Out of every stadium in the NFL the vikings have played in since i started watching them in the mid 80's, Lambeau field is the one stadium where the refs seem to screw the vikings the most. Doesn't happen EVERY time they play there, but I can remember dozens of horrible calls going against the vikings. More then any other place by far. Thats why my prediction went that way!

walleyeking19 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Really? The spread is something 9 points for GB !And I think the 2nd biggest spread for ALL the games this week. Really??!!I realize Rogers is flippin good but he's all they got.I'm saying close game. MN is due to pull out a close one for a change.MN - 28GB - 27 Rodgers is all the Packers have? What about Jordy Nelson (leading the NFL in recieving yards), Randall Cobb, Eddie Lacy (last years rookie of the year), Clay Mathews, Julius Peppers. I understand the Pack havent look great this year, but if last week is any preview I think they're starting to pull it together. Packer's defense bends but doesnt break, offense picks up where they left off.Packers-31Vikings-16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if Blunder gets the call tonight...Fudge will come out smellin good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Unless Bridgewater is 100% I hope he sits. Let him rest. If it rains like they bare saying running game should be key. I agree all the way. Would rather have him for the season than one game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHINGURU Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I agree on letting Teddy sit on the short week and bad weather. Unless his ankle is better then they are letting on, but if it's tender he'd be out there slipping and sliding too much to risk it. I'd rather have him at 100% next week.If Blunder starts I look for it to be a MASSACRE, they won't need to respect the pass and will be able to key in on the run. The corners will be able to lock down our WR's without much help. Their run D isn't that great but in reality either is our run game. Blunder will feel the pressure and take a lot of sacks, throw INT's, and fumble.Short week, away team, 3rd string QB, bad weather, no AP...that does not sound very good to me.If Bridgewater does play then I expect it to be more competitive, I still don't like our chances but atleast they have to respect the pass and won't be able to play the run every time.

amateurfishing Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 2 things needed for vikings, outstandind o line and d secondary. If the vikings run well and play keep away from rodgers and secondary shuts down jordy nelson and randall cobb the vikings have a great chance especially in this weather.

YiGGiN4SLoBS Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Well, they just said Ponder is starting, Bridgewater out. Oh Goodie. I would like to change my pick from the pack by 7 to Pack win by 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snagfinder Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Dont get me wrong never liked Ponder but the team has to play for him. Defense looks like its trying now .If we can get the offense (line in particular) to do the same, at least we only have to lose by 17 or so.
