this game would be more crippling to the vikings than beneficial to the packers. to the packers this is one part of a two part series. to the vikings this is the part of the series they ‘should win’.

the packers having the first two significant division wins would be lovely though.

But if the Vikings do win tomorrow, the game at Lambeau on November 2nd will be a must win. I don’t think any game in week 4 is a must-win unless your team is 0-3. There’s too much time left, and too many ridiculous things can happen over the next 12 games.

But it’s certainly a must win for me

Especially this season in this division when it’s obvious that any 1 of 3 teams can win.

In another post it’s mentioned that ……..“There’s too much time left, and too many ridiculous things can happen over the next 12 games.”………. but it’s just that sort of thinking that makes this a “Must Win” game. After tonight’s game, we’re 1/4 of the way through the season. With so much talk about a 40 year old QB eventually breaking down and crushing the Vikings hopes of a title, there’s too much assumption that the very agile AR will be able to stay healthy all season when his OL is playing so poorly. Ridiculous things DO happen during the season, which makes a win away from home against a division rival so important. An early division cushion as insurance in case something happens later in the year.

As someone on the outside looking in, it just feels like the Packer fans who are giving reasons and explaining away why this game isn’t that important are almost expecting a loss and are pointing towards the game in Green Bay as the REAL important game and the game they can win. That thinking doesn’t make much sense to me.

I just can’t wait any longerssss!!! :P

Stuck at the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport and will probably be in the air for the first 3 quarters. Can anyone tell me if the game is streaming on ESPN 360. It probably won’t be worth it to pay for onboard WiFi if it is only on justin.tv but a solid ESPN stream would. Thanks guys!

and more importantly, someone who just wants Brett Favre to go away. I hope he forgets which uniform he’s supposed to be throwing to and gives you guys a few pick 6’s.

If the Packers win it was a must win to set the tone for the season, if they lose, it was not and is simply one of 16 games that will prepare us for the playoffs ;-)

Just swinging by to offer my support as one of the many people who are sick to death of the Farvity-Farve-Farve-Farve show. That said, your biggest problem isn’t Mr. Grizzleverteranhappytobeouthereplaysjustlikeakideventhoughhe’salmostfortyandthat’swhywelovetowatchhimplaywhattagunslinger, but rather the run game.

Good luck.

By the way, what’s the Acme Co. consensus on the job Joe Philbin is doing?

I just hope that tonight can be a successful coming out party for Rodgers and the Packers’ 3-4 defense. No one expects it, so it would be nice to see both come up big.

Lots of talk about Favre’s revenge, etc… I just hope it doesn’t come true. It just seems to me that Favre seems to forget that he slowly but surely wore out his welcome in Green Bay with his “retiree who cried wolf” when it came to calling it quits. It wore thin on many Packer fans and the ability of the Packer organization to plan.

Though I am happy for the 16 years that Favre gave the Packers, no matter how tonight’s game turns out, I for one, am happy we have Rodgers and think we have the right quarterback in #12 now wearing green & gold.

Go Rodgers & Go Pack!!

is pretty much a clinic.

except for the fumble. crap.
