Hi Shelly. I decided to join here and post with other Packer fans. Count Dooku, EJ tells me you're a big fan of the Packers. So am I. I have been a fan since 1964. The Packers cannot afford to lose to Favre and the Vikings again, especially at home. I think the team as had their eye on this game the past 2 weeks and is responsible for the poor execution on offense in both those games. I have a feeling Mike McCarthy has a special game plan formulated for Favre and the Vikings. From what I understand Matthews could have played sunday, but MM kept him out just so he will be 100% for this game. I also think the Packers have kept their offense and defense somewhat vanilla, so as not to give the Vikes any advance knowledge. The Vikings have not been able to do this because of the hole they are in and I doubt they have many special plays saved for this game. Moss is one weapon that will hurt Green Bay if they go to sleep on him. This game will be close, but I think the Packers will pull away at the end. 29 to 20 Packers.

OK who farted?

Count and jane I hope to Heck you guys don't lose that bet!!!! PAINFUL!!!

I know I couldn't believe Chilly did that either, but deep down I loved it.......During his years in GB Favre had pretty much a free pass from his coaches, although Holmgren did speak up a few times about his freelancing......there are big problems a brewin' in Vikings land...hahaha
Favre losing to the Pack then Romo having a broken collar bone and out 6-8 weeks....twas a nice end of the weekend in the NFL.....

I can't see how Favre can play this sunday. How can he possibly be at 100 percent? Or even 80%! Maybe that's better than Jackson

I agree but I kinda think to him this streak thing is bigger than the team, there were times in GB when he should have sat because of injuries and played like crap, I would be surprised if he sat, but then Chilly may sit him just to make a point and try and get the team back....who knows...

Maybe Chilly will give him the start and then bring in Jackson after the first series. then Favre can get his 292 start in a row and make it look like he gave it his best shot but he just isn't healthy enough to play the whole game. So he still looks like a hero.

Yeah that may be what happens, I would be surprised if he doesn't trot out there on Sunday to start though.....I would love to see him pouting on the sidelines after being taken out.....

Favre will be hard pressed to make it through the whole game but he is a determined player and has played through pain before and done well. The Patriots don't rush the QB well and that may bode well for Favre but 2 stress fractures in a surgically repaired ankle is not what I would call an "optimum" situation for any player, let alone a 41 year old player. If the Vikings do rebound and start playing better, do they really want Favre put in harms way and risk his availability for the stretch run?

i can't believe the Pack won that game the way they did. The defense looked fantastic, even with all of the injuries they just keep on going. It was a GREAT win yesterday indeed.
