Vikings Message Board.Com

Has any team looked worse in their last two home games than the Packers? They struggled in both to just keep the game close enough to keep their fans from streaming to the exits.

I apologize for laughing but that was funny...

... and engaged in many shootouts but fell short. In one year, their defense managed to make enough plays and tighten things up enough to get them to the Super Bowl. Because of that people described them as the makings of a dynasty and multiple time SB champion, but their offense isn't as high powered as it used to be...

That conclusion seems a bit premature one game into the season. They led the league in scoring last year with 560 points. That's considerably better than the 388 points they scored in 2010, the year they won the Super Bowl so unless their performance on Sunday against what is probably one of the best defensive teams in the NFL proves typical, I think it's too early to say their offense isn't as high-powered as it used to be... when "used to be" essentially means last season.

And now there they are, a team capable of putting up points and sporting a winning record, but not a real threat to win the SB anymore.

That may be true and I sincerely hope it's true because I really don't want them to get anywhere near the Super Bowl but it still seems too early to make such declarations. We'll learn a lot more about the Packers when they host the Bears this Thursday. Personally, I hope the Bears clobber them. I love the thought of Green Bay starting 0-2 and then going on the road to play a MNF game at Seattle, followed by a home game against the team you compared them too: the Saints.

Green Bay definitely has some issues to resolve and i think they've been seriously over-hyped but I'm not quite willing to rule them out as a Super Bowl contender yet.

packers will have dug a nice hole if vikings beat lions and packers lose which is very possible.

would you rather have the saints be 0-4 or the packers 1-3? I can't stand either team, so this is a tough choice. Anytime the packers lose is good, so i would rather have the saints win and push the packers to 1-3.

The Packers are one of the youngest teams in the NFL - younger than the Vikings, even. It's hard to imagine that more than a handful of players on that team ever played with or against Brett Favre.

You gotta hope the Packers go 1-3. I know the Saints are dirty scum who stole our Super Bowl but the Packers are in division and the thing is, I'm 26. AKA, older than a typical Packers player, right? I'm old enough to remember the Green Bay Packers led by the Anti-Christ Favre, The Beast Reggie White and The Horn That Speaks For Them And Seduces All The White People Away From Carter Righteous To Packers Evil, Don Beebe.

If the Vikings can't win my immediate request is for the Packers to lose. Always.

The saints are desperate for a win, and I think Brees will deliever. 27-23 saints.

I know this isn't really a Viking thread, but it's pretty significant for us.

Brees is desperate for a win. He'll pull it out. 27-23

saints defense = vikings defense.......oh wait.

I know I am new here, but could I request these types of thread be moved to NLF Talk board. This board should be about the Vikings, period.

The Precious Packers' fans sound a little unhappy.

Eh, winning by a touchdown now.

How can Joe Buck talk with Rodgers' nutsack in his mouth? I haven't heard ball washing this hardcore since every time Madden called a Favre game.

Joe Buck's announcing is basically gay pornography.

The NFL's precious packers facing adversity? Get em' Saints!

Ha, they all wanted the real refs back and look what happens.
