1. We should win this game but the dome always gives us trouble.
2. I believe if we shut down the Minnesota running attack that our defense could cause (insert bad QB) a lot of trouble.
3. Minnesota's Run D is probally top 5 in the league...good thing we don't/can't run...I look for us to spread the field and use the empty backfield package with alot of regularity.
4. Get the ball to Ryan Grant the kid is a gamer

That's all I have for now.

GO PACK GO

Here is a Vikings message board you can read to get your kicks.

The Pack needs to come out running in the first quarter. Don't laugh!!! They need to throw off the gameplan that the Vikings will try ( I did say try) to employ to limit the Pack's short passing game. There is no way the Vikings will stack the line so holes should be open. I would say try delayed handoffs or shotgun handoffs to get the LBs and DBs think pass.

Antoine Winfield is begging the coaching staff to cover Driver all day. I say let him,let Jones or Jennings have a big day instead.

On defense, the Pack needs to take away the run game just like last week. The Pack will be facing a decent running game (like last week), but a very poor QB (T-Jack or Holcomb) and horrible recievers (Bobby Wade, ) . I don't think either of those QBs can throw 15 straight receptions. I say blitz the holes created by their linemen to stop the run or get to their QB.

I don't see any problem with destroying the Vikings except the whole dome situation. That may keep the Vikes in the game for the first 5 minutes.

We won't run at all nor should we. Minny has the best run D in the NFL bar none, and their passing defense is well below average. Driver has absolutely MURDERED the Vikings recently, and Griffin is in for a long day covering Jennings/Jones.

Key in this game is to score first and make Minny have to beat you with the pass. AD is a game-breaking RB, but the rest of their offense is, in a word, pitiful. I hope we blitz more this game, I really do, because if Jackson is throwing 4 INT's against Detroit, he has to be easily gotten to.

We'll spread them out and throw on them all day. Their pass D is very suspect and their ability to pressure the QB is not good. No fumbles or INTs and we could have another 30+ point game.

Defensively, we'll force them to pass, which they can't do. Holcomb may start this week since Jackson is banged up. Either way, they suck. Their WRs are horrid as well.

My main concern is not in terms of how we match up, but how we play after what was a very emotional game. A letdown on the road against a team we match up very well against would be a disappointment.

This Vikings fan gives a great pre-game analysis.

I disagree about the running game. We need to establish it if the Vikings drop 5 or 6 (maybe 7?) into the secondary and try to make the Packers run it. But I agree that if they play the Packers straight up and have 7 in the box, we will have a field day against them.
