It would have been real nice to have Percy in this one.

Look for Jerome Simpson to score a td this game

Kyle Rudolph looks like the type of guy that he sleeps with 3 women a night and then kick them out in the morning

We win and we are in the playoffs. Huge game for our franchise. I'm sure even though the Packers are in they would like nothing more than to crush our chances, so we have to expect their best effort.

If the Vikings can bring the same intensity on the defensive line as we did in Houston its going to be a long day for Aaron Rodgers. The key is to take away the running game and get them one dimensional allowing us to start blitzing and rushing A-Rod through his reads. It is also key that we get contain on Rodgers and don't let him to roll out without someone on the spy since that seemed to really kill us when we were at Lambeau earlier in the season.

I am picking the Vikings to win this one 24-21 after an intense OT

[SportsFanatic13]

Hopefully we can keep the momentum from the Texans game. The keys to winning this game though is that we're going to have to set the tone early, just like we did Sunday.

Keys to the game:
1. Establishing AP early and often
2. Having some type of success in the passing game from Ponder (Get his confidence up)
3. Put heat on Rodgers and slow down their air attack throughout the game

If we do this we'll be playoff bound ladies & gents. SKOL!!!

The Packers are playing for the #2 seed in the NFC so I am sure some of their guys would love the chance to get a week off before getting someone at Lambeau instead of having to potentially travel somewhere for that second round.

Since the 49ers lost i thougt green bay locked up the #2 seed

I thought the same thing, but in reality if the 9ers win and the Packer lose the 9ers are 11-4-1 and the Packers are 11-5. The Packers also lost the head-2-head against both the 9ers and the Seahawks this season, so those tiebreakers do not go into their favor. Also if the 9ers and Packers lose next week and the Seahawks win, the Hawks will be the 2 seed.

I am so excited about this game! I am hoping to invite some guys over for lots of football on Sunday!
