    Packers proved a couple things:

    -The secondary still fears Rodgers and Nelson, hence why 3-7 yard passing game was there everytime we wanted to go to it. DO IT MORE!

    -Our TE's represent a mismatch that our playcalling seems to refuse to give into. Richard is slimmer and more of a threat, and Cook was brought in solely because he is a threat...yet we continue to ignore them for the most part. That one drive where Cook had like 3 quick receptions illustrates this point (also RR's couple quick catches for good gains).

    -Aaron Rodgers is not the AR we all know (love or hate), it is very apparent. He has doubt in his eyes more than ever before and as a GB fan it gives me a gut ache. In years past (not 2015) his confidence made me never feel out of a game...now I can see his doubts as if they're thought bubbles popping out of his head.



    While it sucks it is entirely far too early to predict anything. Lacy is looking better, TE's are awesome, secondary while has had struggles are strong, Defense is doing great.... 1-1 big deal.

    Also as I have many a Viking fan friend...Bradford plays like he did last night, I'd be 100% fine if Teddy is done. (not wishing him ill at all) but the Bradford of Sunday night is a 10 win QB for sure for you fellas.

    Cheap shot? LOL. Just because it's your golden boy that got hit? That was a perfect non-call. If that had been Lacy, Starks, Peterson or ANY other ball carrier on the league-except a QB we are not even discussing this.

    My wife-a RABID Packer fan-saw nothing wrong with the hit. Her words were "that's nothing. What about the hits on the receivers in the end zone? They are worse hits and those are not called".

    First, off congrats Vikings on your win.


    But you Viking fans are funny. You feel like you won the superbowl last night, don't you. This game went pretty much how everyone predicted (except for Sota) being very close. The Vikings D is as good everyone said it was. The Packers had nothing on Bradford in that offense to prepare for. I suspect after teams start seeing tape on him things will cool down a bit.

    I'm not surprised the Packers lost as my prediction indicated.

    Its not a shock the Packers are struggling on Offense since they didn't practice at all. I said this prior to the season that since the Packers bye week is week 4 I'd be willing to have the Packers struggle early on with the lack of practice for health later in the year when it counts. The Packers will be fine. They lost to a good D on the road in their new stadium by 3 points.

    Keep drinking cool-aid Viking fans cause we all know they will break your hearts in the end. You would think you guys would of learned this by now?

    Hahahaah. Good try. You trying to get under ones skin and failing is what will be fun to watch. Keep going though.


    So I take that as a yes on the gay butt sex. Its ok. They say there is nothing wrong with that.

    Typical Packer response. Wonder how that would have read had it been the opposite.

    My guess:

    Good try, Viqueens.
    Losing two big draft picks just to get in Bradford and he can't even get a home win on opening night of the stadium. Rodgers does it again with a comeback win against you guys. You'd think you'd just give up hope of beating us. So much for a rivalry. Our defense sucked last night and all our injuries and we still beat you guys.

    PS, we've won the superbowl.


    Anyways,

    Where's Sota?

    I suspect your last sentence is priority one for the remaining Viking opponents. The Bradford-Diggs show WAS entertaining. Now, the rest of the receivers and Bradford need to get on the same page. And the other running backs if AP is going to be out.

    What is wrong with what he said really? He gave props to the better team last night, praised your D and vented frustration about his own team?

    Bottomline, Pack looked lost at times and besides Waynes at CB struggles your D did awesome...Bradford played out of this world and you got the W.

    As of right now I have no shame saying Minnesota is a better team than GB. I do however hope and feel it won't be that way come week 17.

    If we don't concede the rest of the season right now and hit the panic button we are typical Packer fans. Ok, I guess that means I'm a typical Packer fan.

    In all honesty we should have won by a lot more. The penalties and not being able to fall on a fumble seriously killed us.

    If we continue to play like this on Offense I see 1-2 or 2-1 in those games sadly at best. No way we beat 3 teams playing this way offensively.
