After last week's win against us, i think the Queens will be on an emotional decline, which will be hightened even more once they get behind a few points.
As i said before, last week was the Viking's "Super Bowl". (Well.....not really, cause if it was, they would have LOST![grin1] )
I see GB getting a big win today
GB 37- Queens 17

If Mike McCarthy can't get his team up for this game, he needs to retire. We should win this game comfortably.
I do think we will win, but does anyone doubt it will be unnecessarily close?

Hopefully Dom gets his head out of his ass and goes to stop the pass. He did so in 2010 and 2011 and the first game of 2012. Then in the 2nd game, he had the stupid idea of trying to stop AD. That backfired, as Christian Ponder ended up looking like Peyton Manning because he had guys open all day long.
On the O, come out aggressive and force them to abandon the run by taking a quick lead. None of this "balanced" crap until the 2nd half when we're comfortably ahead.
I was worried about this game. Then Vikesrule bet on it. Now I'm feeling much better. [grin1]

OMG. Just read a report on PFT that Joe Webb may be starting. Apparently Ponder's problem is bursitis.
Ouch! Thought that was a problem of geezers. Remember when my dad had it. Elbow swelled about the size of a pool ball, severe pain. (And my dad had an incredible tolerance for pain.)
All I can say is this better not be Jason Garrett II. Or was that Gary Hogeboom?

I saw some reports saying the same thing, that as of right now, it's more likely Webb will start than Ponder. This ought to be interesting.
I bet Vikerule's bet caused Ponder's bursitis. :-k

I'd take Webb over Ponder any day. Dude can run. CONTAIN, CONTAIN, CONTAIN. Both AP and Webb.

Yes, this could make things very interesting indeed.
Packers have prepared for Ponder all week and Webb has done pretty good when the opponents aren't ready for him.
Joe Webb running bootlegs with Adrian Peterson in the backfield could be a nightmare for the Packers D.

Aaron Rodgers is gonna throw for 5 TDs anyways so no matter who is back there won't matter.

That's huge news. I bet the Packers defense is cramming to put a game plan together for him, heh. Although I'm sure they had a partial plan for him anyway, but still. I really don't see any way the Vikings can stay in this game now, but who knows.

Ponder declared inactive. Webb will start for sure. Just heard it while watching the other playoff game.

I've always liked Webb. He's better than Ponder any day.
Great scrambler too.

This bothers me.
It may be my imagination, but it seems like historically the Packers have had a knack for making no name backups look like stars.

Jason Garrett for one. Can't stand him to this day for that Thanksgiving day win.

Zombo and House are inactive?
Two solid tacklers.

Why am I worried about a large dose of Wildcat with Webb at QB?

Quote:About Vikings QB Joe Webb...The Packers probably weren't preparing for Joe Webb. And he's much, much different than the guy in front of him.
Webb has been a fan favorite at times in his three years with the Vikings. A versatile quarterback from the get-go, he's been used everywhere from quarterback to receiver to kick returner.
*In his first career start, Webb led the Vikings to a 24-14 upset win over Philadelphia in 2010.
That game he threw for 195 yards on 17-of-26 passing with no interceptions and one rushing touchdown.
*Replacing a struggling Ponder in a 2011 game at Detroit, Webb rushed for 109 yards on seven carries and was 12 of 23 for 84 yards with two total touchdowns.
The 109 yards set a single-game franchise record for rushing yards by a QB.
*He also led the Vikings to one of their three wins last season, shining in place of a concussed Ponder at Washington.
With three scores -- two passing, one rushing --- he finished with a perfect 158.3 passer rating in the win.
Talked to Webb for a story on the Vikings' turnaround last week. Don't think I've met someone with bigger hands than him.
*As a rookie, Webb became the first quarterback in Vikings history to return a kickoff.
