Like this Viking clock?
I got to admit though. The Viking fans were always on top of things:

If you think the Vikings are a waste at kicker, the Bears invited nine kickers -- all at once! -- to camp.
They are so staaaaaaaacked they don't need no Diggs.
I know 2 football ex-spurts who can run patterns for them!
Gerg Jennings and who?
Vikings - Rebuilding since 1960.

Should have invited the soccer player Carli (what her name) to camp. Never mind:
1) She waits until the ball is placed to start her motion.
2) She takes 5 or 6 running steps to the ball before kicking it.
3) So we don't have to mention her kicking motion (after the steps) doesn't start before the ball placed
4) Has never kicked with a real rush coming at her.
5) Could almost guarantee a blocked kick on every try.
Yet, she thinks she can do it. That puts her light years ahead of the guys they had at camp.
I'd like to see her fill a lane and try to tackle Cordarrelle Patterson. That would be worth the price of admission. 240 pounds running at full speed vs 140 pounds.
Yes, that is another issue. Also she is 37 years old - an age when most teams are telling their kicker to retire. Maybe they figure she is a young 37 years old. She might need a year or two to get it right.
As for the Vikings, once they realize that humans play the game, not robots, maybe they will hang onto a guy long enough to develop.
Develop what, Boobs?

No, develop as a kicker. There was a time when some Packer fans wanted to dump Mason Crosby. If the Packers had not given him a chance to correct his kicking, he wouldn't have had the career he has had in GB. The Vikings don't realize that maybe the merry-go-round has to stop long enough to see what you have instead of constantly cycling kickers through your roster. Maybe the Bears have figured that out by keeping Pineiro.

Pineiro made his only field goal attempt and proceeded to kick the ball out of bounds, on the ensuing kick off, to give the Packers the ball on the 40 yard line.
Viking fans on Twitter dismissing our victory last night. Winning in the NFL on the road is never easy.

Because male kickers are so well known for their tackling prowess.
Viking Fans are already getting their excuses ready. If the Packers do something good on offense it is because the Oline held. If the defense does something good for the Packers it is because Zim is horrible head coach and their offensive coordinator is a dolt. Rogers cheats when he catches the defense with too many men on the field. If the refs blow a call in favor of the Vikings it is ok because it is a makeup call from all the times the Packers got favored on a call.
Phuck them. The spermhead fans are like the little brother of someone in your neighborhood who is just beyond annoying and just won't shut the hell up.
They need to worry more if they can beat the Falcons. The Falcons are a team that is very talented and I could see them beating the Spermheads easily.
them and for good measure
them

Pathetic, aren't they?
They were crowing hoping Biscuitiski and Rodgers would tear ACL's in one thread and praying Julio won't sign in another. Then there's Pedmo who is the biggest idot on the planet. 
I'll be interested to see how this improved Packers D handles the Vikes talented offense. In terms of WRs, TEs, RBs, I think the Vikes skill position guys are one of the better groups in the NFL. Not a single Bears skill guy would start for the Vikes. Cousins is at least a bit more proven than Trubisky. If the Pack's D slows them down, it will bode well for the rest of the season. Get some pressure on captain Kirk, keep Cook contained from breaking anything big and I like the Pack's chances.

Don't want to Opie in that situation either...
If the Packers D plays close to the level they did against the Bores they will crush the Queens. The MN defense is good but Chicago has the best front 7 in the league and the Vikings LBs canât cover anyone. The middle of the field will be wide open so expect a big game for G Mo and Jimmy I canât block Graham.

Disagree.
Allen Robinson for sure & Tarik Cohen. If Cohen doesn't "start" he's going to get a ton of work.
Not to mention Mitch-boy over Kark.
And you know MLF and ABM haven't shown us their entire playbooks yet, either. I'm looking for Gary, Vitale and Kumerow to get a lot more playing time today than they did last week. I see Montravious Adams playing tough against Minnesota's run game, too. I think Gary will be a solid component along side the Smiths' edge rushing and Amos' blitzing plays.
I'm predicing a beatdown along the lines of 30-10, five sacks for the D, one INT and a fumble by Cousins, great game by MVS.
I really want to see Kumerow.
As to the game, so much uncertainty given the offense and realizing at least part of its futility last week was playing the Bear's defense and not yet acclimated to the new scheme.
Finally, always curious if Kevin King stays healthy.

You forgot to predict the last 3 quarters. Otherwise you were money.
Reason #4762 as to why the Vikings Suck:
They have no justification for what they do. At least Cousins didn't.
"You just can't do that," Cousins said. "It happened last week in our game, against us, and we talked about it all week how you can't do that. It's uncharacteristic of me..."
This is why you never ban a Viking fan. They are an endless source of entertainment after games like yesterday.

Nah...F 'em.....

As others have mentioned, Cousins does seem a little bit like their version of Jay Cutler. He's has good moments that can tease you at times, but makes just enough mistakes that he really doesn't elevate the team and may even bring the overall team down a notch.
He truly was the GOAT of the game yesterday and I don't mean Greatest Of All Time GOAT. If he's even halfway decent, the Vikes win that game. They really outplayed the Pack in just about every area but their passing game really hurt them with all the missed throws and turnovers as a result of poor decisions.

That's not necessarily true. Some of those poor throws and TO's were the result of the constant pressure they were getting on him and the job the secondary was doing on their WR's. When pressure and coverage works together, QB's get impatient and start taking more chances (TO's) or go into a shell and play it safe (incompletions).
