What is the Vikings'/Favre's Record vs 3-4 Defenses? The only 3-4 defenses I can clearly remember the Packers playing (when Favre was QB) would be the Cowboys. If memory serves, he didn't do that well, appearing to be overwhelmed or frustrated by the constant pressure. This give me some hope. If Capers and our D are capable of bringing pressure it might rattle him and force some errors. I don't know if I am just missing it, but the last two games seemed to throttle back on blitzing the qb a bit compared to the Bears game.

Thoughts?

Cleveland runs a 3-4. Houston did last year as well. And AP's rookie year, the Chargers ran the 3-4. All three of them were beaten by the Vikings. And against the then highly touted run defense Merriman and the Chargers had in '07, AP set a single game rushing record. The Niners run a 3-4, but they run it hard nosed and aggressive. I think the Niners have better personel for the 3-4. To be fair, though, Favre was picking apart the Niners blitzing defense.

It'll be interesting in the next 7 days..

I think the Packers' secondary is better than San Francisco's. If GB can pressure Favre with the blitz, he might not have the same success as he had against San Francisco. From what I understand, Favre was very mediocre until the final drive of that game. He threw over 300 yards, but 60 of that was on the final drive when San Fran got very laid back. So 240, 1 TD, and 1 INT for example is solid, but not ridiculous.

I haven't watched the game though.

The key to the game is still to stop Adrian Peterson. If he runs wild, won't matter how good Favre plays or how poorly he plays.

As far as his history against the 3-4. He lit up San Diego in 07 and they run a 3-4. If you want to go way back go back as far as Carolina vs. Green Bay for 96 Title. Carolina's head coach was Dom Capers and they ran the 3-4. Favre threw 292 for 2 TD's and 1 INT. Following year they met late in the year and Favre threw 3 TD's for 256 and another INT.
