Farve vs. Packers - Page 3

CueTheMusic · 10-06-2009, 08:04 AM

Between this game and the Iowa State Cyclones losing on a blocked extra point, this has been one of the worst football weekends for me in a long time (and I know bad football weekends, I'm a cyclone fan....)

Packers really need some help on the offensive line, and some healthy safteys.

I'm so stoked for this game tomorrow. I'm a life long Vikings fan living in Wi so life the season has been interesting to say the least. I 100% behind the Vikings but I am hoping for a good game. Not to say I wouldn't take a Vikings blowout victory but I would prefer a good game and Vikings victory.

I initially was not for the Favre experiment but I have to admit he has played well for the Vikings. IMHO Brett had 3-4 incredible years under Holmgren and the rest of his career was really really inconsistent. A significant number of his heroics over the years were digging the Pack out of holes he dug. That said he has played very intelligently and under control this season. My one experience at Lambeau convinced me that Packers fans are generally pretty classy and although I expect some boos I don't expect a lot of real venom.

The wost thing the Packers fans and organization can do is to alienate Favre over his tenure with the Vikings. He almost single handedly made Green Bay relevant again after decades of futility. In a couple of years all will be forgiven and they will retire his number and he will be the star of many a fundraiser etc... as it should be. Just like Montana with the Niners and many other hall of famers who finished their careers on other teams. The last thing you want is protracted animosity with the historical face of your franchise. It has happened a few times and it is ugly and sad.

The Vikings were strong, and deserved to win today even though their 3rd quarter was pretty weak. However, I continue to be impressed with Aaron Rodgers, and think he has the ability to be a great quarterback.

I agree. At first I was against bringing Farve onto the team, and was sure he'd cause a lot of dissention among the team members and coaches. However it seems to have gone well, and he's certainly raised the team's competitiveness to a level I haven't seen in years.

Terrible call on the first drive. Good thing I'm no longer a Vikings fan or I'd be pissed. I say terrible because Minnesota's challenge was rejected. Peterson lost a fumble under almost identical circumstances a few weeks ago, so which is it, ref?

Was he the same ref as the other time?

I thought it was crap how Farve was booed when he took the field.

kelmac07 · 11-01-2009, 03:55 PM

A$$ Whooping!!!!

kelmac07 · 11-01-2009, 07:01 PM

Turned out to be a good game!!

King James · 11-01-2009, 07:24 PM

I thought it was really classless of the Packer fans that booed. You could tell it hurt Favre to hear that from the fans, the same fans that cheered him for 16 years. When they panned to the crowd there was a lot of support for Brett too, but the booing was just crazy to me.

That being said, I couldn't be happier that Brett stuck it to Mccarthy and Thompson twice this year. 7 TDs, 0 Interceptions, and not a single sack..... I wonder if Thompson is second guessing himself after tonight.

And I think it is even worse of the CEO to act all innocent. I guess he wasn't at the game because he couldn't "bare to see Favre in a different colored Jersey"..... well I think he has the power to fire Thompson, so he could have made his feelings about keeping Brett around known

Kreth · 11-01-2009, 09:20 PM

Well, GB did get hurt by a couple of key penalties, but they also got a huge break on their first drive when Minnesota's challenge on the fumble was rejected. And not that it would've changed the outcome, but when Berrian scored the last TD, it should have been a 15 yd facemask penalty. The DB grabbed both sides of his facemask to tackle him.
Much as I hate the Pack, I have to agree with the Rev that Rodgers has been very professional through the whole Favre mess. And if he had an O-line, it would've been a different game.

True, Peterson didn't have the huge yards he racked up against the Pack last season. But, just under 100 yds rushing, 40+ receiving, and a TD isn't exactly a sub-par performance. I think he could've gone higher, but with Rice and Harvin catching everything in the same zip code, grinding the run wasn't a necessity.

He had one big run, but if you watched the game he was getting contained very well. His 1 yd TD run was setup by a 77 yd return by Harvin. And I'm not sure what you mean by huge numbers last year. I think I have replied before in this thread that AP has never had a multi-TD game against the packers.

In the first game last year he had 103 rushing yds, 34 of which came on one big run.

In the second game he had alot of yards, but got his TD on a long run, and helped setup a short TD pass.

The guy is the best running back in the league, and the Packers for whatever reason have consistently contained him better than many other teams is all I'm saying, so by no means take it as an insult against AP

Can you imagine all the brouhaha when Rodgers is MNs backup QB next year?
