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

...then they can go for the quad against the Pats. [rockon]

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.

Rivalry aside it worries me what they are doing with Teddy. 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.

    Martha Careful (3h) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
    beast (4h) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
    Zero2Cool (20h) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
    Zero2Cool (21h) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

    Mucky Tundra (23h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
    Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
    beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
    beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
    Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
    Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
    Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
    Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
    Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
    beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
    beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
    Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
    Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
    Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
    Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
    buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
    buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
    Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
    Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

    Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
    dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
    dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
    Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
    Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
    earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
    beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
    dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
    dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
    Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
    Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
    Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
    dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
    dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
    Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
    Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
    Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
    packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
    Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
