Border Battle 06...Round 2

[Green&Gold]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PACK!!!!!!

Good luck all you Vikes fans out there. Lets see what your young prodigy Tarvaris can do. Hopefully the cheezy D can give him a bunch of new looks and bring the pressure early and often to throw him out of rhythm.

Oh yeah, and congrats on your pro bowl picks. Please someone tell me how Serena...err...I mean Pat Williams doesn't get in. Geez I though Al Harris got robbed, but PW not going is ridiculous!

As I told one of my fans from cheddarville. My predictions is two really bad teams play a not very good game and the score is kept close by both sides' numerous errors. UGGGH! I remember when this game used to mean something...

[buzzsaw]

It's a bad year when both teams fans can't even get under each others skin cuz it just doesn't matter... except for bragging rights I guess.

Go Tavaris

Buzz, the winner of this all important game has a shot at the playoffs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what a thought hey?

Love him or hate him, this might be the last time you see Favre...

[mnwild]

Sounds like Williams is going to get in as an alternate because a guy from the Bears is injured and I agree with you 100% about Al Harris he should of made it.

So what is everyone's prediction on tonight's game??

My guess is 34-17 Packers with Favre throwing 300+yrd's and 3 td's.

[buzzsaw]

I could see Favre having a nice game as well... but I also could see the Vikes rookie doing good in his first start. My heart says Vikes 27-24 and my head says packers 24-20... and Otto my main man, if either of these teams somehow made it into the playoffs, it would be one and done.

[Green&Gold]

I'm gonna say 24-17 Pack. This could be a different game than what were used to. Who knows what Tarvaris will do. He could run all over and convert every 3rd down on his feet. If that happens it will be a long day for the Pack. On the other hand, if he gets pressured alot, he could really show his lack of experience and make some really bad decisions. Either way, I'm predicting a total of 6 turnovers combined.

If TJ is smart, he will be watching closely when the Vikes are on D to see how a true professional conducts an offense.

I was thinking the same thing about Pat Williams. Tommie Harris is on IR, so he probably won't be going. That means Pat will probably be called up. There is still a reserve before him though. Then there's Hutch starting. I'm sorry, I just don't agree with that. To me, he's totally just getting in on his name/huge contract.

It should be called the Popularity Bowl, not the Pro Bowl. I mean, John Lynch made it this year! He's got 0 sacks and 0 interceptions!! Past reputations play way too big of a role in the whole thing. Pat Williams has NEVER been to a Pro Bowl, and neither has Antoine Winfield!

Weather report for GB tonight!

This Afternoon: Occasional rain possibly mixed with sleet. High near 39. East northeast wind around 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

I bet the Favre wants to have 50 pass attempts since our pass defense sucks so bad and we have zero pass rush. But with this weather will they be forced to run the ball more....? If so I like our chances better. But we'll se what T.V. can bring, can't be any worse that with B.J....can it?

[outdoor ran]

I wish this game was at the dome. How crazy is that. The pack have been just horrible at home the last 2 years.

[The Donk]

I personally don't care, I am just excited to see Tjack for a whole game. This kid is something special... for no playing time, all 'yall are going to be amazed- Oh, yeah Vikes 33, pack 20

[The Crumpler]

Was that a Frabill Ice House behind the Packer bench?

If so, that's a good idea!
