Plus, I guess, D.Anderson actually managing to look like a real QB.

Why would it be a given to say the Vikes should win this game. Not the way they’ve been playing. AP can only carry this team, but they aren’t even giving him the chance.

Arizona sucks, but so does Minnesota. Just don’t understand why everyone expected the Vikes to easily win that game.

Bigby is activated to our roster. I don’t know if he’s starting or what.. Peprah has done a nice job. But our safety position looks quite strong now.

The last piece, would be Harris as long as he can do enough job to provide depth at the minimum. Tramon has been outstanding, and Woodson is still doing an OK job. The secondary looks pretty decent, and I’m excited.

Because think of this.. our pass rush has deeply improved. Raji has become a workhorse. And that Howard guy. Wow I like him. He’s a massive guy, who uses the body to an advantage. He might be one hell of a player. That helps Raji so he’s more fresh throughout the game. Could really use Pickett, but Jenkins does a nice job as well.

Interior guys really do a nice job of collapsing that pocket. And Clay just doesn’t stop. Zombo I believe is starting on the opposite, if he can get in a groove and start providing a more consistent pressure, our defense will be tough to beat. We’ve really shored up all areas on the defense: secondary, interior line, pass rush and the linebacker play has been pretty good.

Maybe Hawk has finally gotten over the hump, and lets hope he continues to be consistent. Not too bad lately, still a few problems. Just his hesitations. He just needs to figure out how to read and react a play much faster. In stead of waiting to see where the play is going, he should be there. But I think it’s possible with his elevated play we’ll maybe start seeing it some more. I hope, I wanna like Hawk, I really do. His coverage though isn’t great, but that too has improved a ton this year.

Very frustrating, especially that final game in 1996. MNF, Packers D held the Cowboys to field goals all night long, but offense couldn’t do anything.

I remember after the Packers win over the 49ers in the Divisional round of the playoffs, the crowd in the stadium was chanting “bring on the Cowboys”. (Of course, it was not to be, as the Cowboys lost to the Panthers the next day)

I want to see the Pack win by 50, get Wade Phillips fired, and make Jones cry like a baby. I want the green and gold to harm them so much psychologically that collectively the whole city goes into a deep depression lasting decades. Step on their throats as DaveK says, then rip them out trailed by every internal organ including 17 feet of bowels. Then springboard off the pile of guts into a beautiful bloody Lambeau leap.

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

This Cowboys defense has been giving up a bunch of points this year. Hell, the Bears scored 27 in week two. (Remember all the Mike Martz is a genius talk after that game!) They gave up 35 points to Jacksonville at home last week.

The thing that worries me about this Packers team is they haven’t learned how to step on a team’s throat. They let teams hang around too long. Good teams don’t do that. Let’s hope that changes this week.
