Week 16 Christmas Eve: Packers Will Beat Down The Vikings

[Mondio]

We need to pressure Bradford, repeatedly. Our offense needs to get going early.

This I got a feeling we'll do.

 

[Mondio]

This I got a feeling we'll do.

I'd like to think so, sometimes we get good pressure and other teams it seems nobody gets close ever. Like the last game. Besides that 1 play by Peppers, I can't remember the quarter back every having to even take a step off his spot before throwing the ball. Even when we blitzed a few times, it was right into a waiting lineman's arms and stuffed.

If we don't get pressure, Bradford is a very accurate QB.

That shouldn't be hard to do. Our O-line sucks. Clemming couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag much less stop someone rushing the QB.

Our run game will be ineffective because the O-line can't make a hole.

Peterson will be a non-factor. See above.

I think the defense is getting tired of keeping them in games only to see the offense not score points. Mainly because the O-line sucks.

I expect the Packers to blow them out. Anything less than a blowout and I would seriously consider replacing your entire coaching staff.

Will all depend on whether they have any pride/fight left, and I think you answered that question above with the defense being frustrated by the offense's lack of ability to score.

I think the Vikings are out of fight, and will have Santa on their mind. At least I hope so.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

I don't see the Vikings laying down. The Vikings still have a very outside chance at making the playoffs. Also, much like the Bears last week, this is a game of pride for most of them. They have a chance to beat one of their biggest rivals and in doing so, possibly knock them out of playoff contention. Packers can't overlook this one.

Asiata is an awful red zone back this year. He has some tds but has been stuffed at the goal line a lot. Mckinnon really isn't a huge receiving threat. He is averaging under 5 yards per target. Rudolph scares me and the up and down Diggs scares me. Not because Rudolph is great but bc I have seen TE's beat us too much over the years and with Diggs he can explode for a big game

I expect Burnett to cover Rudolph for most of the game. He did a great job containing Graham two weeks ago.

 

[Deleted member 6794]

But overall, yes, I am the guy that wants 2-3 plays and a first down, for 8-14 play drives. A few in a row. Pick your places to take your shots. Not every set of downs, but once or twice a possession when you've set them up.

I would prefer the Packers offense to play that way as well. Continue to use a scheme predicated on a ball control, short passing offense and take deep shots once you´ve set up them up and Rodgers is able to exploit a mismatch.

Hard to get any yardage when you are consistently hit in the backfield by a defensive player. Don't blame Asiata for the failures of the O-line to even open up a crack.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

I believe the point spread right now is 7. over /under 48.

Well it does seem like sometimes he hits the hole facing backwards somehow. There were a couple games where the TV crew showed there was a small seem but asiata just missed it.

Great point. As much flak as capers gets for not adjusting (and rightfully so at times) this was a great move

 

[mongoosev]

minn should be wary of our O being effective now that our run game has been doing well and our passing has overcome some of it's performance farts of uncertainties. they are not going into the game with a team that they faced early in the season. Nelson was still testing out his knee cap and lacy was testing out his new weight. Adams found his game(hopefully his fingers aren't frozen like they were in Chicago). they will have to face green and gold at Lambeau.

diggs had a good game against us but will feel the wrath of shields' spirit that he will transfer into the secondaries' souls. Bradford will feel the wrath of our own viking that hails from USC, #52. He will have 2 sacks while salt and Pepper will put more pressure on Bradford's causing him to check on his poor sensitive fingers.

Well looks like he destroyed his gloves after the drops. Hopefully the new gloves work better.

Wut?

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Not sure if this is good news or bad news for the Packers. This was about the first time in a long time that I wasn't even thinking or worrying about AP.

I just feel people are underrating how much of a classic trap game today was. To me this Bears team reminds me a lot of that 2010 Lions team, bad record-wise but could go up against good teams and play them close, even beating us in that one game.

This Vikings team on the other hand is not playing good at all. There's no way a team that's any good loses 34-6 to that garbage Colts team. Just no way. I mean that is Cleveland Brown bad football right there, no other way to spell it.

This Vikings team is a DUMPSTER FIRE!!! We should be favored by 20 in this game.

I hate to remind anyone of this but we lost to the Colts, so we have nothing to brag about.

Go stand in the corner !!

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

But not by the score of 34-6

On any given Sunday....I just hope the next 6 "Sundays" go well for the Packers

 

[mongoosev]

Wut?

the force.

 

[PFanCan]

... and I would seriously consider replacing your entire coaching staff.

Now THAT would be something new to talk about 'round here...

I give the Vikings a lot of credit considering where they are at (7-7) and overcoming the setbacks they had. Losing Adrian Peterson and Teddy Bridgewater. Having a new QB two weeks before the season starts. Starting the season 5-0 with a dominating defense and good special teams play.

I give the Lions a lot of credit for being 9-5 despite no Suh and Megatron. Stafford could be in the running for MVP considering the comeback wins.

I give the Bears...... ?? Well.......?? Uh....?? At least they play somewhat inspired against the Packers.

I keep telling my buddy who is a huge Bear fan, "The Bears are THE best 3-11 team in the NFL"
