Looking forward to watching Christian Ponder again, he was brilliant 2 weeks ago against the Panthers (obviously tougher defense tonight). Credit to Leslie Frazier as well, they've given him some responsiblity. Thought it was going to be all hand-offs to Peterson, but they ran a pretty varied offense, play-action rollouts, using Peterson as a short receiver, draw plays, downfield passes, and when you combine it with Peterson's runs, it was great to watch.

I'm predicting a rough night for Ponder. It will be interesting to see how he handles the cold weather. Coming from a Texas high school and college in Florida I don't think he will have seen anything like what he will see tonight. Should be about 4 degrees with the wind chill and a nice little cross field breeze that will make things tough too. So far his two games have been a dome game and in nice weather in Charlotte.

I think the Packers will spank the Vikes tonight and I think the under on the points is a real good bet too.

Schaub and Cassel look like their done for the year. Costly weekend!

Deffo hurst the Texans big time but the Chiefs were going nowwhere anyways so its not going to make much difference there. A lot of weird things happen around Matt Cassel, I remember last year he made the probowl because Brady was injured, and thats how he got his chance in the first place. Now he goes on IR and the man who kept him out of a job at USC is getting an opportunity with the Texans. Its all just a bit freaky for me anyways.

Anyways Leinart gets his opportunity and I'm very interested in it. If he has improved fair play to him but if he hasn't then my value binkie from the draft TJ Yates may get an opportunity. I firmly believe Yates is going to make it in the NFL.

I dunno, I think the Vikes have a chance. They were 1 drive away from the win last time and I think GB will be surprised sometime. I've had a small dabble at 6/1 on the Vikes.

I think it depends on the early exchanges. If GB get on top early it will be a blowout. Otherwise I think AP and co will keep it close

A rare treat to see the packers live.

Hoping to see a good d performance.

Randallllllll!!

Chucky the tree

gamepass down for anyone else?

UnitedIrishman

Brilliant start, Rodgers doesn't even have to come onto the field and we're 7-0 up. Cobb you beaut, bit easier than the Saints kick off return in Week 1!

Hulk Hands

And that comes about because a ridiculous hold on Shiancoe on 3rd down wasn't called.

The officials to screw the Vikes at Lambeau 2 years in a row?

Looks like it so far

Lovely lovely drive.

UnitedIrishman

Nice pass Rodgers, 14-0.

Deffo not an int, while they were fighting for it the ball hit the ground, not a Woodson's knee but before that.

Arawn

should be overturned

UnitedIrishman

Nothing going right for the Vikings so far. Packers defence doing relatively ok thus far, nearly more interested in how they do tonight than the offence.

Stupid decision to kick again after the penalty...it barely went over at 47yards...am extra 5yrds was hardly going to make it easier

Well in fairness he had made 8+ from over 50...its a stadium he's used to kicking in...and the first attempt wasn't on target....flags and whistles will do that....and it wasn't that far off!!

Yeah, sometimes I wonder how these people get jobs. I mean you are taking a chance on something thats unlikely to happen and giving great field position to the Packers if you don't get it.

Arawn

Great decision to go for it!!!

cooker3

Wow 17 interceptions. We may not have much of a pass rush currently but our DB's know how to catch a ball.

Arawn

Was a terrible decision tbh, you don't throw towards double coverage when one of the players was the leagues leader in int's last season!

Arawn

great run by starks saved us from kicking a ball into great field position

Hulk Hands

Sigh

Ok, the Vikings are never going to win the way Rodgers is playing, but it would be nice to have a fair crack at it.

14 Packers points now off Officials errors

Arawn

I know that realisticly that we have to lose at some stage but I honestly see no team beating us once we go up by 14

Rodgers has been very impressive today, even by his standards, this could get embarrassing.

Arawn

FFS!!

Meh...he made up for it!

I'd prefer mistakes like that to be made while up 24-0 instead of in a close game!

And fair play to him for coming straight back with a 50+ return!

cooker3

Jesus, that stat is crazy. Rodgers equals Mannings record of nine 100+ QB rating games in a season...in his 9th game.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn

I know but the shut out was wanted

Great run back though yer right bout that!

Edit: First time this season that our defence has been playing very good. Delighted Matthews is having a good game!

Ah woulda loved Woodson to get the pick 6 there!

Doesn't he need 2 more to equal NFL record?

Arawn

woulda set a return yardage record they said

kmart6

Needs 1 more to tie the return record!

cooker3

Oh there we go, 2 more to beat the record.

Arawn

Woodson....Seriously he is all over the shop.


Quite happy with the D tonight

kmart6

Jesus this is beyond a joke now! Bad enough the back up QB gets nearly the entire 4th Quarter...but letting him walk it in is just embarrassing!

Flynn > Tebow :pac:
