first of all, rogers has only played a couple games and your saying the packers have a great passing game. Your just anti vikings and love the packers. you also said rogers will be better than brett? youve got to be kidding me. i can also guarentee u allen has a huge game. im not trying to get u down about being a packer fan, but the comments u have stated are absolutely horrible. it should be a good close game, but no way the packs vbow out the vikes 28-0. As for Tarvaris, hey i know hes not that great, but he just needs to be solid so that when given the opportunity, he can make big plays.

you're an absolute idiot.

First you didnt back up any of your statements, you just made assumptions.

And when you say Tavaris is going to make big plays, do you mean throwin 4 more picks than TD's and under throwing everyone of his horrible WR's?

Berrian is still hurt, and not that good to begin with. Sidney Rice, showed glimpses, but still is nothing special. And Robert Ferguson couldnt make it as a Packer, so essentially Tavaris is throwing to the garbage of the league.

You are an idiot, all you say is Allen is going to have a huge game...why? Are there any inclinations that he is better than CLifton? Because from what I have seen, Clifton dominated Allen.

First of all, who gives you the right to talk about somebody elses quarterback when your quarterback hasnt played more than a half of football. How can you say that jackson hasn't made any improvement when his first year was last year. You cant tell if someone hasn't made improvement until the second year and this is his second year of starting. Jackson doesnt have to go out and play like peyton or tom he just has to manage the game.

Also you say Peterson is going to get dominated this game because of a couple of linebackers you've named. You say they're much faster and stronger and whatever but i do remember peterson blowing past shawn merriman and his defensive company for 296 yards and 3 td's. So if you can blow past the best linebacker in the game you can blow past AJ Hawk and Barnett.If peterson wouldnt have got hurt in that second game against the pack then he would have had more yards then he did and atleast a touchdown. Something else you said was that peterson relies on being faster and being able to run through the dline and the lb's...Isn't that what a running back is supposed to do???

You act like all this criticism doesnt go both ways. I can write a blog just like this going against the packers but i have better things to do. but i'll give you a quick summary. Aaron Rogers hasnt been on the field long enough to show anyone he can play. Grant is just coming off a hamstring injury and is going against a healthy vikings defense without one addition, Madieu Williams. You mentioned a matchup for our lines and you said clifton and allen. OK but what about the williams boys. Lets see yall stop that. I see both qb's throwing 1 touchdown a fieldgoal or two from both a touchdown from peterson and grant and a touchdown from our defense and i'll say the game ends 24 17 vikings.

Also dont get me wrong i think the Packers are a good team better then any of the other two in the division but i think the vikings come out swinging harder then yall do on monday night.

maybe even 24 20

Your stats are terrible. Last season, they were not in the top 5 for any major category. Im talking about FR, ints, Total yards, rush yards, pass yards, sacks, turnovers, fg allowed, passing tds allowed. The only stats I can see with the Packs in the top 5 are 3rd dwn stop % and rush tds. So where are you getting the idea that the Packs are a top 5 defensive team. Where do you get the idea that they have the deepest wr corp? The Lions easily have a deeper wr corp with 4 wrs with top 50 rec yds and other teams also have deeper wr corps. Also, the first time AP played the Packs, he got 112 yds on 12 runs. The other time AP got hurt with 11 plays for 45yds. He avged an impressive 6.8 yds per carry. There is only 1 person who avged more yds per attempt in the top 100 leading rushers last year. Tha is far from a dominating stat that you want to brag about. Also, where does it say the packers have the best linebackers in the league? Espn ranks Cowboys then Chargers. Where do you get the idea that Aaron Rodgers will be able to out preform Brett Favre, one of the best QBs of all time, with many years under his belt, and playing one of the best season's he has ever had. So even though Rodgers has thrown less than 60 NFL passes, he will be a MVP candidate is 2008 (Brett was so if he isn't an MVP candidate, he probable didn't play as well as Brett did). The only thing that you said that was true was about Clifton being a great tackle. Now I know preseason doesn't mean much, but it means something when your QB gets hit repeatedly. Have you seen what the 49ers did to Rodgers? The Packers allowed 4 sacks in the first half and Rodgers struggled with the pressure. I think the Vikings will win a close game over the Packers but what I am sure of is that you have no idea of what you are talking about. You just said that somebody is stupid because he didn't back up any of his assumptions. Now I am disproving all of yours. So what does that make you?

not u vikesfan

You didnt dissporve any of mine. I meant that the Packers are a top 5 defensive unit this year. And For sure they will be.

And all the rest of it was based on assumptions. You can say that Rodgers will be bad, I am saying he will be good. You're an idiot too if you think that is refuting my argument.

You actually said nothing in that long paragraph that even resembled information on why Rodgers wont be good.

I say its because of the system, the Packers offensive system is based on using slant routes to take LB's out of the pass game and using check down RB's and WR's to go underneath the defense. This requires a lot of roll outs and a great accurate passer. Both of which Rodgers is better than favre.

Next, against the 49 er's, you realize the Packers were without 4 of the 5 offensive lineman and most of their backups. Josh Sitton was starting, he is now a 3rd stringer. Essentially it was their first team vs. Packers 2 or 3rd team.

What you said about AP is all true. He is a good RB, but the fact of the matter was we were playing without 2 of our good DT's that game, Ryan Pickett and Johnny Jolly. Both of whom are the big run stoppers. Not to mention, Shawn Merriman is good and all but his strong suit isnt run defense, so your whole argument about AP running through him is trash.

And I certainly didnt see AP trash a defense like that again, sure he had good games 150 yd, 100 yd...but nothing like 250 again. He will be average in this game and probably wont score a TD.

The Vikes are loaded at 3 positions, O-line, D-Line, and RB. The rest of their team is the trash of the league. You know why no one else offeren Berrian big money...because he isnt that good and hes hurt.

and dont write one long paragraph its hard to read, do like i did, seperate it.
