But you never know what Farve will do. He has a little extra motivation. And our last game against them was pretty close. I don't think that this'll be an easy W.



Agreed.
At Lambeau, they were one classic "Randy being Randy" moment from being tied at the end of the game.
In the Dome, this is going to be a tough, tough win.
The Packers are more than capable of it, but anyone predicting a laugher is just bound to be here on Monday moaning about how much the Packers suck if the Vikes manage to step up and win one at home.

I know this much, Matthews will manhandle Loadholt. That O-line isn't build to face pressure from the LDE and/or LOLB position. That O-line really isn't build to well in pass protection, overal.


Matthews was supposed to "manhandle" Loadholt in the first game too. And our pass rush was also supposed to dominate their OL.

And we got, what, 1 sack? On the last play, I think?

1 sack, yes.

But those interceptions where a direct result of getting pressure.

Brad Jones hanging around Favre's ankle caused that first pick.

Jarius Wynn killing Favre caused that second one.

On the last pick, Charles Woodson was half a second away from causing a fumble.

Favre gets it off fast. He doesn't like to take sacks, he wants to make something happen. That results in some miracle plays, but more often than not, in interceptions.

The stat sheet doesn't show it, but we were getting some pressure.

Next to that, Matthews was manhandling Loadholt, but Phil got away with some blatant holds. He had to snap Matthews neck before finally getting a call against him.

Rock.. you forgot multiple face mask calls.. one called on LoadHolt verse Clay.

Now.. put Clay on turf and his speed is only going to cause Loadholt more issues.

Loadholt was mugging him the whole damn game - and that's precisely what I mentioned to a Vikes fan friend when he started bitching about the refs in that game.
He tried to deny it, so I offered to have him come over and watch the game on DVR with me so he could see it - oddly enough, he declined.

Without Phil grabbing his head every other play, Matthews would have had more than the one sack, easily.

Wasn't the vikings game clay's first game back after getting injured? I am sure he was still banged up from that injury.

Plus the fact that our team seems to be jelling right now, while the Vikings have been on the decline.
I'm not taking them lightly, but it seems pretty obvious they are NOT in the same mind set as they were last time we played them.
Favre has been knocked around like a rag doll, their WR's are hurting, and our O is finally clicking, and our D has been playing lights out.
I really feel that if we get on them early, it will demoralize them.
If we let them get any momentum going, thats what would worry me.
Get a TD on our first possesion, batter Favre, and keep the pedal to the metal all game.
