O-line, o-line, o-line. Holding off their defense is the main thing I'm worried about.
I can't believe the season starts Monday! What a long horrible offseason, Haha! |

Offensively, attack the secondary with slants all night long. Sounds perfect to me. Also Bryant McKinney is not playing so I'm rather thrilled about Kampman and KGB going up against bad back-up tackles. I have a feeling that the DL for both teams will be wreaking havoc... |

People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.

Containing AP is a must. That goes without saying.
But as long as we play efficient defense, keep the offense on the field as much as possible to make the Vikings pass, I like our chances. Nothing about the Vikings passing game scares me -- Sidney Rice seems good, but I can't really say too much on him yet. So basically, keep control of their run game, that is what makes me cringe the most. Should be a win if we do those things. |

Stop Adrian Peterson. If you stop AP, you'll beat the Vikings. It's that simple. Jackson cannot beat the Packers throwing the ball. They don't have the receivers for one and Jackson isn't good enough to do so in my opinion. If you stop Peterson, Green Bay should win.
Another focus is taking care of the ball. I think Jackson will probably throw the ball 15 to 20 times. He'll give the Packers a shot at an INT but because he won't throw much, chances are GB won't come away with more than 1. Maybe 2 if Jackson plays very poor.
I think Rodgers will throw 30 times. He can't afford to have a 2 or 3 pick game in my opinion. |

Thinking this group is a problem even though they've been playing together a couple years now isn't a problem or denial, it's ignorance. Wow, that got out of hand in a hurry. You know I love you, Zombie. We'll disagree there. Originally Posted by: "

Score early and often.
That I agree with. |

Contain Peterson, don't let T. Jackson RUN if no one is open for him to throw to. In the preseason, QB's were able to tuck it and gain BIG yards against us. Can't let them do that.
On O, we have to open some holes for Grant and Jackson to run through, and keep their guys off of Rodgers. |

(ok, im officially super pumped for MNF now! CMON!) |
