Maybe Clark and Corey can give a little nudge from above!

From PurpleHaze:

The 4-1 Green Bay Packers come to town after a big win over the Baltimore Ravens last week. They are playing very well and it makes me sick. We were supposed to be the best team in the Central and right now we are fourth at best and this game will decide our fate. Will we respond like champs and pull out the win or will we retreat like cowards and start fighting amongst ourselves and blow this game? I think we can win this game, but the real Vikings have to show up.

The keys to beating the Cheeseheads will be to get Moss and Carter involved, force some turnovers and protect Culpepper.

On offense the Vikes have to find a way to get the ball in the hands of Moss and Carter. Both players are having off years and it is time to get them back on the field. This will be easier if we can provide Culpepper a little time. The Pukers have a strong pass rush and will get after Culpepper if we don't hold our ground. There is no doubt that this game will be won in the trenches. If we can keep Culpepper off of the turf we will have a real good chance of blowing these guys out. We have the weapons to get it done we just have to get into a rhythm.

On defense we have to get turnovers. Favre always will throw interceptions if you force him into making quick decisions. He will throw into double and even triple-covererages without thinking about it. When this happens we have to capitalize.

If we come out and play Air-Minnesota we can outscore this group of Cheeseheads. We just have to go after it and the game will be ours. My prediction is a solid Vikings win, 28-24.

GO VIKES!!!!!! Jan
