Last call for Viking game predictions

Monty hasn't been cleared today but the belief is he will be tomorrow.

 

Asked Ha Ha Clinton-Dix what the mood is inside #Packers locker room: "We’re all pissed off. We all have a chip on our shoulder right now."

Monty in?  

 

 

#Packers practice: on offense Lang, Bulaga not working. Sitton and Bakhtiari walk-through only. Abby out. Lacy, Montgomery in.

So it takes 3 loses to get a chip on a shoulder?  Pity the Purple.

Well it was the Lions at home that really defined that chip.

Lang, Bulaga not working. Sitton and Bakhtiari walk-through only.

Have they got any healthy OL? 

Green Bay - Four members of the Packers' starting offensive line were non-full participants, leaving a slew of backups to fill in during practice.

Guard T.J. Lang (shoulder) and RT Bryan Bulaga (knee) were not practicing at all. Left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) and OG Josh Sitton (unspecified) took part in the pre-practice walk-through and then left to do conditioning drills on the side.

Coach Mike McCarthy held practice later than usual and shortened it up to account for a number of injuries, all of which will be detailed in the injury report later this afternoon.

Bakhtiari practicing was a good sign given he was knocked out of the Detroit game. Lang was hurt in the LIons game also, but returned and finished up.

Running back Eddie Lacy (groin) took part in practice, but since the team didn't do any full-speed drills during the media period, it's unclear whether he was able to run fully. Wide receiver Ty Montgomery (ankle) was suited up for practice and did everything the other players did.

Wide receiver Jared Abbrederis (ribs) was present but not practicing. He isn't expected to play this week.

Cornerback Micah Hyde (unspecified) was working out on the side and didn't take part in the walk-through.

Predicted a double digit, big-time blowout over the Chargers 4 games ago, and the game was much closer than I thought it would be.

 

Predicted the Broncos in a close, defensive battle 3 games ago and it was a rout by Denver.

 

Predicted a Packer bounce back win in Carolina, and it was GB that got bounced.

 

So certain the Pack would defeat the woeful Lions last week that I did not even bother to contemplate the final score.

 

This week, I don't see the Packers being competitive in Minnesota. Hope I'm wrong, but I see a 28-13 Queens win.

About as many as the Pats

Throw the ball eleventy-billion times and get hit/sacked a lot, I guess you get sore.

 

Vikings outside in November.  Don't the Vikings always have a running back?

heard  childbeater was nursing his hamstring at queens practice today

So, you're saying there's a chance?

Yes, but...

 

Packers losses by 2 TD's. If Capers is fired in the next couple of days they blow the Queens out of the stadium.

Sad to say, but I'm thinking 31-10 Queens.

 

Also, I'll be at the game, so will probably be drinking heavily.

Around the NFL staff picks

I will shock you all and pick my Packers!!

23-10

We're doomed. Nobody wants to be the person "looking stupid" by picking the Vikings

Say Boris,

 

I got nothing to loose. 76 years old, got prostate cancer and bladder cancer (not mentioned to get pity but to illustrate I dont give a rats ass bout what folks say)--

 

Packers take a monumental ass kicking from the Queens then start to put out all the excused we have heard for the last 3 weeks--Times fourers really get down and figurative blood is spilled at the timesfour forum--

 

So, that said call me what you-all will!!

I will pick the queens.  Right now this team is anything butt offensive going against one of the better defenses on the road.  

 

What suxs is this doesn't need to happen.  How you turn the best player in the NFL into a potential four game loser is amazing Tom Clements.

Scareyfast nicely said.  I really appreciate the Rat's ass shout out.

Green Bay 27 v Minnesota 24

I don't know about you rubes, but I'm rooting for Scareyfast63 this weekend.

Bingo

He's faster than Richard Rodgers too.

Green Bay 45  Queens 3

 

AP refuses to play after watching Clay pace the sidelines with a switch.

Yeah...a real confidence booster. 

I've never heard of any of those guys. 

 

Hansuz, name sounds like a Towelhead.  Looks like one too. 

Orr, should be talking about hockey.

Patra, that's a Bohonk name. 

The other two, who cares. 

 

 

Good lord.

Al found us?

C'mon, I can't stand it!

A few weeks ago, the NFC North was a much different place. Sure, the Vikings were a nice story, but it was the Green Bay Packers' world. The Vikings just lived in it.

Fast forward a bit, and as Andy Benoit of the MMQB wrote, things have changed ever so slightly:

America, meet the Minnesota Vikings, the best team in the NFC North—both in record and in actuality. During the summer, many predicted the Vikings would take that Next Step under second-year coach Mike Zimmer. But no one forecast that a Week 10 victory at Oakland would be their seventh of the year. This morning, they lead the North for three reasons:

1. Their offense has a distinct identity, centered around Adrian Peterson and the power running game.

2. Their defense is young, fast in all the right places and very well-schemed.

3. The rival Packers currently have a poorly coached, mediocre offense that happens to be led by a phenomenal quarterback. (And that quarterback has been inconsistent lately.)

 

Above is the latest analysis from "Bleacher Report" with the consensus pick being the Queens.

 

Sad to say, however, I agree with their opinion UNLESS the PACK pulls some serious shift in offensive scheme and coaching changes and sticks with it for the remainder of the year. MM has "over tinkered" with the offense this year, I believe the players know it and are reacting to it. Also MM has been "slick talked" by Capers into believing he is doing an adequate job. Coaching or the lack thereof is the major reason the young players cannot progress to a higher level as well as the fact that w/o Jordy the Pack has the slowest receiving corps in the entire NFL. It is so painful to see all these factors coming together in somewhat of a "Glaring Problem"

 

This sort of mentality on MM's part could very well cost him his job. 

All the respect in the world to you, ScareyFast.

 

**** the Vikings. Flavor of the week.

Say cuqui, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, no offense taken, this is a forum, aint it?

last time I felt this positive the Packers were going to get blown out was against the Texans when Aaron through for 17 Tds in the first half. 

Screw all the bandwagon fans!  Pack 28 Vikings 10.  Go Packers! 

I'd be happy with one if the Munster even lets him out of the house

Talk I've heard from MN fans is that they are as nervous about this game as the Packers fans are. If the Packers are going to turn this mess around, now is the time to do it. A loss here means the Packers will be two games back in the division. That is unacceptable. Both teams are having trouble scoring on offense. MN's ST play has won them games. AP rushes for his 100 yds/ game but doesn't score all that much.  Cold weather could be a factor here and Green Bay better be ready for a tough match up. I'll go 20-17 in a must win game for the Packers.

The Minnesota Vikings. Playing a solid brand of football. Strong running game & good defense. 

 

The dysfunctional Green Bay Packers. Playing a $hitty brand of football the last 3 weeks in all 3 phases.

 

Why is the spread Vikings -1? Let's dig a little deeper....

 

Adrian Peterson has a "hamstring issue" oh BTW, he's probable after fully practicing on Thursday & Friday.

 

Teddy? He's playing after "passing" the concussion protocol from the previous week. Good to go vs. the Raiders right? 

 

Packers defense has sleep-walked through the last 3 games. Forgot how to rush the passer. Forgot how to cover a WR. Forgot how to stop the run. Forgot how to jump up & block a pass. Forgot how to strip the ball or get an INT.

 

It all stops in Minnesota. IT ALL STOPS IN MINNESOTA. IT ALL STOPS IN MINNESOTA!

 

Enough! This $hit has to end. This Packer team is far too talented to play this poorly week after week. We didn't hear anything about a "come to Jesus" meeting. We have no clue how practice went. Media is talking about everything EXCEPT the game. The game is the escape for these players & they're going to BRING IT this week.

 

This IS your #1 rival. You haven't won a football game in over a month. It all comes together on Sunday. Offense, Defense & Special Teams.

 

I see a complete team win for Green Bay. 

 

Something along the lines of a 31-23 victory for our heroes in Green & Gold.

 

Packer Defense gets a bunch of turnovers (4, including a pick 6) to help out the offense & Rodgers goes "Houston Texan" NUTS vs. that pass defense. Packer Running game picks it's spots & performs adequately & the O-Line gets back to ASS-KICKING.

 

Dom's defense playing with a lead. Packers jump on them early. They take Peterson out of the game due to a fumble or 2. Here comes the INT's!

 

Rodgers shows why he is the MVP & all is right again in the world. 

 

BTW....If the above doesn't happen, I have the Vikings to win in Vegas.....and there is NO WAY in the BLUE HELL I'm cashing a ticket TWO weeks in a row!
