    D line is good, I forget his name but he killed the packers in the last meeting, they really need to focus on blocking him.

    Jared Allen?

    I believe you are refering to Jared Allen. They will need the hand of GOD to block him.

    Yes yes yes, Jared Allen, sorry was just getting done with lunch and didn't have time to look him up. He was KILLING us, and well hopefully they are ready for him this time. All and all it should be a good game, I know if the Vikings win it'll be a bad day at the office due to my boss being a Vikings van.... surprised to see he's still employed haha. jk

    Wow, did the OP watch the game? The Vikings had the ball with 1:36 left to go and were in the red zone. They should have at minimum tied the game. Chester was not ready for the screen pass and the rest is history. Now, if you think that one bad play at the end of the game equals getting your **** handed to you, then I don't know what to tell you. I chalk it up to football karma. The Vikings had no business winning the 49 and Raven games, yet they did. They were due to have a loss in a winning effort. What does that mean? They deserved to win the Steeler game, but they lost.

    6-1 is not bad considering I thought they would start out really slow in the beginnig while Favre was getting used to his new weapons.

    I think the Vikings lose in Lameblow. It's hard to predict this one. I really hope they win, but I will not be shocked if they end up on the losing end of this one. Without Winfield, Rodgers will have a pretty good game passing most likely. The lone INT in the first matchup was by Winfield.

    Typical packer fan... Living in the past! The Packers have one three super bowls, but only once since 1968, and that was still thirteen years ago. I don't go around bragging about the Twins world series wins from 1987 & 1991. The better team right now is the Vikings.

    Why dont you brag about the world series wins by the twins?! Arent you proud of your team? And if the viqueens had a past to brag about then im sure most of their fans would live in the past. Why dont you look at the post I replied to, I was referring to Zoomzilla saying the Packers still suck. Well the packers still had chances in the end of both games to win so if the packers suck then I guess the viqueens arent much better. The game today could have gone either way. I never said the Packers were better, and yes the viqueens are a better team now. The reason the vikes are better is a few reasons, first and formost is in the trenches on both sides of the ball, the offense and defensive lines are excellent. You have the edge with your runningbacks, since Grant joined the Pack he is #2 in rushing yards only to AP who is #1. Oh and ummm...13 years ago is still 1 more than the viqueens. :D

    Number two in what? Between the two teams, over the last two seasons? I suppose, that is true. Seeing as the he is the Packs #1 back and AP is the Vikes #1. Other than that, Grant is slightly above average back with only one, thousand yard season. In 2007 he only had 956 yards as the #1 back, while Chester Taylor had 844 yrds as the #2.

    #2 in the league, I can explain that to you if you need me to? Check the stats they dont lie, since grant JOINED the Pack he has the second most rushing yards in the league and Peterson is #1. GOT IT! Look it up before you talk ****!

    And as far as the twins are concerned you say "What have you done for me lately? This is a typical Minnesota bandwagon jumper statement(that means you only support your team if they do well). Well how about making one of the best runs for the playoffs in MLB history! Or since they werent in first so you didnt even notice that they did this! This way of supporting your teams is exactly why the MN pro teams cant fill the seats!

    If you want we can go on for days and I will keep making you look like an idiot who doesnt know sports. Reminds me of that ESPN commercial about the guy who talks out of his **** cause he doesnt watch enough ESPN:D

    Minnesota Baseball and Football have had no troubles filling seats for years now. I do not know about the Basketball or Hockey teams however. Personally I have not watched a hockey game since the North Stars screwed us back in 1993 and left for Dallas...

    How many packer fans does it take to change a light bulb?

    100. 1 to change the bulb, the other 99 to talk about how great the old one was.

    Stop living in the past dude. You have 12 championships. That's great. Did it help you after 1996? You have won how many since then? All Packer fans can do is talk about the past. Considering you went 6-10 last year and got swept by the Mighty Vikings this year, the past is all you have.

    Actually John the twins have been below average in the A.L. 25 of 29 yrs. 1987-89' they were above average and also in 1992. They were way above average in 1988. From 1995-2000 they were way below average, with 2000 being their worst in recent times with an average of 12,355.

    The Vikings have had better results since the early 2000's.

    The year before we did host the NFC championship game if I remember correctly, yeah thats right the one when Brent Farve played like ****...

    Yeah, did that... and they don't lie...
    2007 Green Bay Packers: Total Rushing Yards - 1597 (21st), Yards per game 99.8 (21st), Yards per carry - 4.1 (13th)
    2008 Green Bay Packers: Total Rushing yards - 1805 (17th), Yards per game - 112.8 (17th), YPC - 4.1 (11th)
    Now I don't know what stat or stats you are looking at. But I don't think the Packers are #2 in any of them.

    Season ticket holder since 1986 (since 2002 personally). When I'm not at the game the radio is on. Baseball, especially the Twins, is a passion for me. Do think that Cubs fans reminisce about those back to back World Series championships of '07 & '08? I will always want my team to be winning, but I still watch/cry/heart break when they don't!

    When we were talking about the Team rushing stats, we were talking about GRANT being #2 in rushing only to PETERSON since GRANT joined the packers. You dont seem to be able to comprehend very well.

    That is why I asked you what your ranking criteria was... Grant in 2008 was #8 with 1203 and in 2007 he was #19 with 956. In 2008, his best season, he wasn't even #2 in the division.

    So if the criteria was: who is the better rusher between Peterson or Grant... then yes Grant is number two!

    Who did you hear he was #2 from? Wayne Larrivee & Larry McCarren?

    No actually it was from Troy Aikman, then when I went back this morning and listened to his comment I found that he said 3rd in the NFC. Peterson is #1 since the second game of 07, with Portis 2nd and Grant 3rd since his start with the Pack. I stand corrected! :confused:
