I get it, we're banged up but so they are (but obviously not as much as us). They have a bunch of key injuries to the CBs and Safeties, all we have to do is pick on Lito Sheppard, he gave up 3 TDs in the Dallas game. Plus their O-Line sucks with Sullivan in and it sucks even more with Sullivan out. Our passing game plan should be able to exploit some weakness in their secondary and our blitz should be able to get some sacks.

But the biggest reason why we should be confident is that the Vikings are on the road.

They are 0-2 this year

@ Saints (L)
@ Jets (L)

They lost in the playoffs last year

@ Saints (L)

Then last regular season

@ Bears (L)
@ Panthers (L)
@ Cardinals (L)

They've lost 6 straight games on the road (someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is based on looking at their schedule).

They are a horrible road team. I will be very disappointed in this team if they lose, the injuries are obviously a factor but with Matthews back, we should beat them at home.

Btw, on the road at this point, @ Vikings, I think we get beat, probably easily. Because they are very good at home. But come on maaaaaaaan, they've lost 6 in a row on the road, we can do it!

I don't think Brett Favre alone is a huge reason. He's been terrible this year. But, Favre vs Capers is a huge reason.

Because the Packers have an odd ability to make bottom feeders look like Super Bowl contenders for a day.

Don't underestimate Favre's ability to play like a god when he comes back to Lambeau. Last year was ridiculous. I hope we don't see a repeat this year.

If you happen to see a gent with a limp and a whole bunch of security on his ass.. that will be I making a dart to try and spear the life out of Brett if he comes out of the closet with a throwback game Sunday night. :lol:

I don't want him injury.. but I want him to feel this game come Wednesday.. he and the rest of this team. Piss on the fines.. lay down the hammer on our neighbors to the west. Don't just beat them.. physically beat them down.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before
beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
