Hey, Isn't it Viking week?

MM is notorious for following up a bad game with a stellar game the next week.

Ponder has played terribly of late and while AP is having a terrific season, he hasn't been enough to overcome the QB's recent bad play.

It could very well be close, but I don't expect it to be. GB's at home. Jennings is back. The inside slot routes that weren't there now will be.

I'm expecting a good deal of rust between AR and GJ. Anytime those two have been separated for an extended period of time results in "timing off" upon return.

Queens are also without Harvin yes? I don't believe he's been active in 3 weeks and the Vikings have won just one game with him being out. He was there only real WR.

Any word if he will miss the Packers game?

game time decision

According to the heading under my avatar it's always Vikings week!

indeed it is and I can't wait to get back to Lambeau this weekend.
I'd sure like to keep the meager home winning streak going.
just can't fathom blowing this one at this time...
but heck, I'll give 'em a hometown A game from the stands and we'll see what they think.

Nope. There is a Bears week (two of them annually), but no Viking or Lion week.

TBSS!! Regardless of the week!

This always warms my heart...

(sorry I don't know how to imbed)

Doesn't look like Harvin will be playing. Never like seeing guys hurt but that's a huge loss for their offense. They'll be relying a lot on Peterson and why the hell not, the guys been amazing. Hopefully the D brings it.

Looks like Sherman and Browner will be playing this week vs. the Bears. Gotta say I like the Seahawks chances v. the Bears. Should be a good game at least.

Seattle is a completely different (read: worse) team on the road. They are 1-5 as the visitor. The Bears will beat them by double-digits.

That Saints highlight will never get old. Porter doing the lasso was the cherry on top. Ponder passing...prophetic Paul! Prophetic.

The Cardinals one is FAR better. The Vikings collapse actually had a benefit besides laughter for the Packers. Apparently they weren't who Denny thought they were.

Watching brint play in a Super Bowl for Minnesota would have been unbearable. The weeks leading up would have been torture.

I'm pretty sure if you polled a few hundred Queen fans the Saints game is the most painful loss they've ever endured (other than those 4 Super Bowl fails).

2009 was their year. The Silver Fox that was cast away by TT became a Viking and beat his old team twice. 13-3 record. An absolute beatdown on Dallas in the divisional round. Chester Taylor rips off a 14 yard run to the N.O. 33 with 1 minute left. After 50 years of failure they were winning the Super Bowl.

On the cusp of their greatest triumph....everything went pitch black (warning, angry queen fan language!!!)

Nate Poole will be the odd ball trivia answer that every Packer fan will know right off the bat.

That was one of the most fantastic Schadenboner moments ever.

The third clip of fan reaction is the best. Just too funny.

@RobDemovsky
DNP for the #Packers: Woodson, White, Shields, Matthews, Driver, Pickett, Wilson.

@TomSilverstein
#Packers practice: Matthews goes through extensive workout on side, including less-than-full speed sprints and agility drills.

@RobDemovsky
Not sure what's wrong with Pickett but considering Adrian Peterson is coming to town, this probably isn't the week to be without him.

@RobDemovsky
Greg Jennings looked full go.

@RobDemovsky
Of the injured guys, Pickett, Wilson were working out on elliptical. Woodson was doing a little jog thru. Matthews was working to the side.

@TomSilverstein
#Packers practice: No changes in the starting OL. Same five were in place.

I'm hoping they're just giving big grease some rest early in the week.

looks like the D will be without Matthews and Woodson again. Hopefully Pickett doesn't miss time.

JSO practice blog

@WesHod
No update on Cedric Benson. He's going through a medical process

@WesHod
#Packers updates: Woodson and Shields already ruled out. Pickett has a quad and did not participate

@WesHod
MM on PIckett: He obviously missed practice today but he should be back tomorrow. Not concerned about him not being back

@WesHod
#Packers DNPs: Driver (thumb), Matthews (hamstring), Wilson (knee), White (concussion). Greg Jennings was a full participant

@WesHod
Benson had a one o'clock appointment today.

@WesHod
MM: Had a chance to watch Clay Matthews go through rehab today. I think it would be a stretch to play (Sunday). Evaluate again on Friday

@WesHod
MM on Wilson: CJ's situation. The initial diagnosis is he probably will not make it back this week

@WesHod
MM on reason #Packers have won nine in a row in division: Coaching (jokingly). We understand importance of winning division games

@jasonjwilde
McCarthy says Benson had a 1 o'clock medical evaluation. Won't share specifics. Sure sounds like he's done. We'll see.

@WesHod
MM: We're coming down to December. I don't know if it gets anymore important than that. As a football team, we try to keep our focus tight

I wish that GB could have pulled off a trade before the trade deadline.

Give up a draft pick, and for someone who can't even play in a 5-wideout set? Inconceivable!

Gone for the next 2 years.

3 weeks from now, a second opinion will determine he passed away shortly after the Giants game.

More on Wilson

with Harvin out and Ponder at QB, if GB doesn't dare the queens to pass against them and make stopping the run THE priority...

Is Harvin definitely out?

He practiced today. Ran some half speed straight line stuff. Then tried a few routes. Didn't sound like it went well. Limping noticeably.

But no, he has not been officialy ruled out yet.

@TomSilverstein
#Packers practice: Pickett returns. Quarless out. Wilson, Matthews, Shields, Driver, Woodson, White still out. No pads today.


@TyDunne
WR Greg Jennings continues to practice and looks good in the portion of practice open to the media. Running a lot of routes, cutting fine.

Jennings cutting will probably be fine. It's if he needs to stretch for a ball that the muscle will be tested.

@TyDunne
Cedric Benson will remain on injured reserve the rest of the season.

@WesHod
MM on Benson: "Cedric Benson had surgery yesterday. That was the final conclusion. He will not be back with us this season"

@WesHod
MM on running backs: Cedric I thought was playing very well. We've been rotating. With John Kuhn back, feel we have good rotation

‏@TyDunne
McCarthy on Cobb/Harvin: Both are guys you can play on all four downs. Ability to play different positions. Very versatile.

@WesHod
MM: You're seeing the quality of perimeter players coming into our league from college every year

FTFY

@AdamSchefter
ESPN NFC North blogger Kevin Seifert said WR Percy Harvin "could barely jog" today and "it's hard to see him playing versus the Packers."

There he is again referring to Kuhn as a RB.
