I don't believe in this "peaking too early" crap. If we are, then New England is too, and nobody seems to be saying that.
as for the Vikings game, we've scored over 50 against two better teams/better defenses (theoretically anyway) the past two weeks; Why would we not beat the Vikings even worse than that?

Packers 56 - Vikings 14

I really hope we have Tolzien active this game; I'm getting a little tired of seeing Flynn flounder when we get way ahead instead of Tolzien having a chance to show why he should be the number two.

Flynn is the backup, when he goes in it is usually with other backups, it is unrealistic to expect them to play like the 1st unit, especially when the opponent is still playing their 1st string guys.

Flynn showed last year his knowledge of the system and experience far outweighed the fact that Tolzien has a better arm.

Tolzien is right where he should be, he will get his shot again next year and will probably have a good shot at supplanting Flynn.

As for Flynn, the guys have dropped a number of his balls when he's gotten reps this year. Not worried about him at all. He is what he is.

I try to stay away from being cocky as a fan but the Packers have made that difficult for me to do with the way they have played the last two weeks...especially with the next opponent being the Vikings. Does any one really see this game being close? Sure, there is the chance the Packers come out half-assed and looking forward to next weeks game but it is a small chance. This can also be considered the Vikings super bowl. I believe this team has their head on straight and are looking at one game at a time though.

Jay Cutler and his receivers lit this defense up last week so there is no doubt in my mind that Rodgers and his receivers can't do better.

Rodgers throws for 300+ and 3 touchdowns (1 to Jordy, 1 to Cobb and 1 to RRodgers)
Lacy rushes for 100 and has 2 total touchdowns
Defense has 2 turnovers, 1 touchdown

Packers- 45
Vikings- 14

I'm going to say Rodgers and Lacy both have big games and we hit the 50-burger trifecta: Packers 54, Vikings 20

I don't do predictions but isn't it awesome that our run defense is finally below 30!!!

Show we can get it done on the road.

These division games are always a free for all. Throw the records out, because these teams always play each other tough.

It will be interesting to see how the Packers show up. We expect a solid victory.

Checkdowns that start 5 yards behind the LOS, and go nowhere. It's going to be a bloodbath if our offense looks anything like it did against the Bears.

And I hope our D shows up this week. I don't know what that was that showed up vs Chicago. Yeesh, Robinson was dreadful, and Barr was missing tackles all over the place. The defense showing up is our only hope at keeping our doors from getting blown off. There's no way our offense is going to keep up with yours. Rodgers almost had more TD passes in 1 half a couple weeks ago than our entire offense has had all year (7). Beyond anemic.

Unfortunately he has been thrust into the starting job because of injury, but I do worry that being rushed into the job will hurt his confidence going forward. He shows flashes that he can be a good starting QB in the league and then as with the Chicago game he looks like he looks like Ponder V.2.
