1. I have a feeling the Packers will win.
And I'm a Vikings fan. Yes, the Pack have serious OLine problems right now but the Vikes have struggled at times (thus needing a miraculous TD throw and catch to win a game against the 49ers, whom they dominated just about the entire game). With Favre missing all of training camp and all but one half of one game in preseason, it is taking awhile for he & his receivers to get used to each other. Plus the rookie and the first-year starter on our OLine have had their own lapses.

I think the Packers are the best team they've faced so far, and while we could afford to fall behind to the Browns and Lions and come storming back, I don't think that can be done against the Pack.

2. Jared Allen is going to menace that line
I am really not digging the Packers' offensive line this season, and it may keep them out of the playoffs and harm Rodgers' career. The guy is a good quarterback, could be great, but no one can take 4-5 sacks a game over a season and remain effective.

If the Packers had a guy who could run the fucking ball every once in a while, it would go a long way; sticking with a running game, even when it isn't working, helps you win by keeping the blitzing down on passes.

4. As a person...
who used to worship at the altar of this tratiorus fuck let me tell you what is going to happen because I have seen it time and time again against the Cowboys. He is going to try to do it all himself and end up throwing the ball in places that he shouldn't.

6. You had me at Traitorous Fuck
You are right about him in Cowboys games, and in many other big Playoff games as well. He cost us several Super Bowl appearances by getting too "up" (Vicodin?) for many of those big games.

I have a sinking feeling that the Vikes will run our defense into the ground and their defense will chase Aaron Rogers all over the backfield. With that much pressure off of the Traitorous Fuck, even he can't screw it up for the assholes in purple.

I think he will suck in Lambeau, though.

7. I don't understand
the "non-liking" of Favre. I can understand bashing Bellichick and what he has done to the NFL but Favre? Didn't the Packer head shed have something to do with his leaving the team? I listen to Bradshaw and some of the sports reporters and it sounds like Favre had a nefarious plot to join the Vikings just to fuck with the Packers. I don't see it, but if so, so what. The Vikings, nor the Jets had a gun to their heads.
