Farve vs. Packers

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.
