2021 Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings Official Game Thread

@RobDemovsky:  Packers inactives:

WR Allen Lazard
RB Aaron Jones
OLB Rashan Gary
T David Bakhtiari
WR Malik Taylor
DL Jack Heflin
S Vernon Scott

That's quite the list!

Yeah, that blows. Will make a win that more satisfying though. Please stay healthy.

That's a bummer on Gary but if he only misses one game after that ugly looking hyperextension that's a big win. Explains why they elevated a LB instead of a 3rd RB.

Ugh, too many injuries. My first thought was that it’s going to be a loss. If we win it will be a most pleasant surprise. Let’s see how it plays out.

Not really surprised by Gary (conservative medical staff). My guess is they rest him until after the bye.

Weeks ago people here were making the case for Bakhtiari to start vs the Cards...

I like Olsen as an announcer.

Last of the negativity I promise, but Lazard season quickly entering disappointed land. Thought this was his year to make a big breakthrough, but now he’s starting to remind me of Geranimo Allison in his decent. Still got time to turn things around though.

I just want a respectable showing, if they lose.  All the injuries, Aaron not really practicing, our kicker having problems…….damn, sure don’t look good.       

I expect a W today.

Interior DL will get a push so Cousins can't step into throws, allowing for 2 picks, one of the 'six' variety for Savage.

Dillon with +150 rush/receive and a TD. Long TD for MVS, and a TD for Big Dog.

31-13

It's almost like he was a UDFA.

I see what you’re doing here.

Lazard has probably been struggling with injuries because of all the blocking that he has been forced to do as a defacto TE. He may be tall but he is slight in build. All that rough stuff, that the team brags about, can take it’s toll.

Kenny needs to own whoever they have playing at guard and center today.

Still thinking JBar will need to get creative with some blitz packages as I don’t see the Packers front four generating much pass rush on their own.

Watching game back up in God’s Country as part of Thanksgiving Break. A win today would be a damn fine thing.

He'll be a Vikings fan, today. I will be watching the game on TV and listening to Wayne and Larry call the game on The Packers' Radio Network.

Let’s just say WI.

Go Pack!!!

I expect the Vikings to disguise the rush with different fronts and keep the safety’s back. Aaron trusts Adams and Cobb but nobody else. So I can’t see the high yardage passing attack that many are predicting. Instead it’s blitz beaters, the run and maybe screen game. On defense, I think the loss of Gary will be significant. Also the DB’s will be tested as they will face a tough test. But it’s the special teams who will break our hearts.

Edit: I am going to give MYSELF a thumbs down!

Would like to see Keke be disruptive after missing the last few weeks.

4 of the 5 on Sunday countdown are picking the Vikings. FWIW

If FWIW is a question it is worth nothing

Zilch, nada, zip.

Also like Patrick Taylor for some positives today.

Pack is battered, really battered.

Vikes need this game like Zim's "girlfriend" needs likes.

Zero expectations on the outcome just like the KC game.

That said, it would be nice to see someone like Tylor, MVS, or anyone else emerge as a legitimate offensive threat.

Packers lose the coin toss. Vikings defer. GO PACK, GO!!!

And immediately on winning the coin toss, the Minnesota Football Team blows that ridiculous horn.

Nice YAC by Davante.

Rodgers could've forced it to ten Adams with that much space.

DAVANTE WIDE OPEN!!!

12 to 17 wow
