It is my belief, that without the benefit of the play action, Ponder at this point cannot beat us.. so if we stop Peterson.. So ordinarily I would agree with the concept, but I just don't think Ponder with a bum elbow (listed as questionable) and playing in his first cold weather game can beat us. So alas.. stop Peterson.. we improve our chances significantly. Hence the thread on this game. Quote:Injury ReportChristian Ponder, QB Questionable Jan 4 Comment: Ponder (elbow) was limited for a third consecutive practice Friday and is listed as quesitonable for Saturday's playoff game at Green Bay. However, he's expected to start. "I think he'll be all right," head coach Leslie Frazier told ESPN 1500 am Twin Cities on Thursday. "He's going to do everything he can to make sure he's ready to go. He's doing a lot more stuff mentally than physical right now. But he should be fine." |

You won't stop Peterson. EVERY DC IN THE NFL thinks they can stop Peterson and what happens? Peterson gets his yards and Ponder finds people wide open.
So, don't.
Someone please even try to refute the facts I posted up there. I can go back years too. Every year, it's the same thing. GB vs Vikings - Peterson gets his yards, we win because we stopped the pass. The exceptions - well, there are 3 of them. Brett Favre throws for 7 TDs vs 0 INTs in 2 games and we lose them both (2009). Ponder has a 100+ rating last week and we lost that one.
So, stop the pass. AD will get his yards. AD = best player in the NFL, and that's not even debatable. These sports writers who are saying otherwise should be force-ably sterilized because one generation of idiots is enough.
Refute those facts I shared. I dare ya.
(I only went back 2 years because I'm lazy, but if you want to go back longer, you'll see the same thing - stop the pass and you beat the Vikings. Key in on stopping Peterson and you lose. Brett Favre sweep in 2009. Christian Ponder victory in 2012. What did those 3 games have in common? Anyone?) |

Let him take 8:00 off the clock to get 60 yards, rather than doing it all in one play. |

No one needs to refute those "facts"... there is a reason I posted this for this game. Ponder is winged... it will be even more dependent upon AP to keep them in it. To be clear... to me.. 100 and a score is containing him. This thread has two purposes.. one.. take away the Vikings on facet. Second, to give those that want to walk Capers a platform to tell him how to fix it. |

But Zombie.. want a fact.
The Packers ran over 20 times the first game they played the Vikes.. won.. ran 16 times the second game.. lost.
Now.. prove that fact wrong.. or the many that I have posted with regards to running the ball over 20 time vs under and the winning percentages between the two. Your not the only one that pays attention to history. [grin1] |

Here's my thoughts as Dom Capers on how to stop AP:
Look, the dude's not married, right? Fill his Green Bay hotel bed with a couple of hot bodies to wear him out all night, then he won't have the legs to last four quarters.
Packerchick? 4PackGirl? :-"

OK, I can't make it any more clear than this. When the Vikings' QB has a solid day, we lose. When the Vikings' QB has a bad day, we win. AD cannot be stopped. We never stopped him before and we probably won't stop him until 2016. AD has run 200+ yards and 170+ yards in defeats. It doesn't matter what AD does. What matters is what their QB does. Here you go. I went back 4 years and there's not a single exception to my thesis. Not one. Quote:

What zombieslayer said.
What nerdmann said.
Plus if the Packers are up by 17-21 at the half, it won't matter. |
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
