Best of Packer-Viking GameThread: First Half

Once again, we're doing a Best Of Thread.

Will Tomorrow's be as epic? I think not.

As for the mood music, would this suit you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgzGwKwLmgM

Sorry if this takes a while, but we went over TWO THOUSAND COMMENTS on Sunday.

Here goes, kicking off with Yankees10!

GO PACKERS!

I voted for Kodos comes out swinging:

What are the odds that Favre

comes out in crotchless pants?

Ouch.

Roll Call started at 5:22 PDT. Sorry in advance TarHeelHawk.

Who's here tonight?

And who’s still buzzed after that epic Wisconsin win over Iowa?

Provoking Danwood's response:

Big 10, pfft

I"m still buzzed with the epic Iowa State win over Texas :)

ctxsix's prediction:

I think we start off hot and the vikings get turnover crazy trying to come back

28-13 pack.

Yankees10:

I want Clay to just destroy Favre tonight

I voted for Kodos:

What is the over/under on how many times Favre grabs his elbow?

My prediction:

17.

Once per TD, four times after an INT.

His rotator cuff is determined to have been replaced by a Terminator’s after the game, and then Summer
Glau disposes of him. PAINFULLY.

Danwood's reply:

So he's going to throw 4.25 INTs?
Sabremetrics?

ctxsix's response:

with an ERA of 6.5

I made a wild guess:

He gets benched for T-Jack
after an ineffective 3 innings in which Clay Matthews hits a pair of homeruns.

I voted for Kodos strikes again!

Gerhart's longest rush of the year!

Charlie Kelly supplements:

Followed by AJ Hawk's best tackle

Danwood:

3 and out

Hawk is useful!

After a stunning gain by Lee, Shamalamadingdong

Great effort by Lee

Response from tkiller314:

perhaps the strategy was to fool the Vikes with crappy game film for the season so far, doubt it thouigh

After an odd play-call, I voted for Kodos:

Quick-hitter right at Pat Williams?

You know he’s going to be right there. He ain’t going anywhere

Danwood after Rodgers's INT

OMFG

OF all the friggen people to throw an INT to

I state the obvious:

Good God, I hate Jared Allen.

blackoutsox:

great, now he's even more overrated

the new Bradfather:

Thankfully

Favre sucks today. That always gives me a little guilty pleasure even on a horrendous day such as this

I voted for Kodos's response:

It's not his fault

His elbow hurts.
Or his ankle.
It depends.

Welcome sentiment from the visiting emily522

Browns fan here.

I’ve commented on here a few times last season. I’m a huge Aaron Rodgers fan, and he’s been on my fantasy team the last two years. I hope you guys win this one and finally beat Favre!

Charlie Kelly:

If Rodgers gets time there really is no reason he shouldn't destroy their secondary

Winfield can’t cover Driver and nobody else can cover Jennings.

Goldenarmadillo4:

Primetime game vs a division opponent

and JJ held onto the ball… its a miracle

the new Bradfather after Brandon Jackson scored!

Brandon Jackson

is awesome. The Pack rushing attack is doing just fine, skeptics be danged

PackFaninFL

ONe of my factors...

special teams, rears it’s ugly head…

Provoking replies from Danwood and blackoutsox, respectively:

You really went out on a limb there...
what else did you see in your crystal ball?

trouble in the middle east? an aj hawk missed tackle?

Danwood:

"Hawk can't get Peterson in the backfield"

Strohman pumps his fist…

Danwood again:

"That's something the VIkings want to do more and more"

Turn Harvin into a RB to make up for their crap pick of Gerhart?

An attempt to emulate Camp Randall's (world famous) announcer by me:

JAMES! JONES!

WITH THE CATCH!

blackoutsox:

if I see one more good play call

my head is going to explode

Charlie Kelly:

So remember when all the Vikings fans thought they had a great defense?

Weird.

Goldenarmadillo4

2nd screen sighting

Is it Christmas in Lambeau?

Stunning stats, courtesy of PackFaninFL:

good quarter...

on pace for 800 yards lol

Me:

I think

we may have saved up our offensive yardage for tonight…

Weird. We could REALLY have used it against Washington.

Goldenarmadillo4 after Quarless's TD:

Nice Play

a td and 3rd down conversion… Finley and Quarless will be brutal next year

CaliSeth:

Nice!

Whoever was hating on Rodgers earlier. Believe me, we will talk later!!!

PackFaninFL:

Quarless reminds me of Dustin Keller...

am I off on that?

the new Bradfather:

The Vikings

are delusional if they think Brett " I Wear No Pants" Favre can lead them anywhere

vitaminx:

Shut up Cris Collinsworth

This ain’t Detroit man, this is the Favre Bowl

Ted Simmons Speed Camp:

Wynn's been in there an awful lot.

Did someone get hurt? They’re running over Wynn right now.

Me:

HE WAS OUT OF BOUNDS!

THERE IS NO WAY THAT WAS A TD!

GOOD CHALLENGE!

Much better than what I’ve seen out of McCarthy. There was NO WAY he had a TD.

Goodness gracious. Neal to IR really sucks about now.

Shamalamadingdong:

They are going to be doing this all game if we don’t get ahead by a couple scores… I dread the 4th quarter if they keep pounding the ball like that.

Cheeseandcorn:

Quarless giveth

And Quarless taketh away.

PackFaninFL:

By the way...

Nice call fake fg, bad execution… BUT…

brandon jackson, on the 3 yard run, on 1st down, he had a ton of field if he bounced it on the outside….There’s the vision thing again

BLAS after the "late hit" flag:

bullshit call.

Me, in an outraged passion:

When are we going to start covering the ****ing TE?

After the Shiancoe "TD"

The odds of this getting overturned

are about the same as the Gophers. pulling out a 4-8 season.

An outraged Charlie Kelly was touched off.

dishingoutdimes:

Boy with late hit calls like that

the defensive players in the NFL won’t be able to do ANYTHING anymore

BLAS:

TOLD YOU!!!

TIP HIT THE GROUND!!!

the new Bradfather:

I

can think of lots of things worse than being down 17-14 so keep your heads up Pack. Your team is a playoff team, unlike mine….

Me, likely after Adrian Peterson ran off a moderate gain:

Goodness gracious. Neal to IR really sucks about now.

Cheeseandcorn:

So the Packers have an O-lineman playing DT

It’s like scoring on a third-quarter exhibition-game defense. Wanna cookie, Vikings?

PackFaninFL:

By the way...

Nice call fake fg, bad execution… BUT…

brandon jackson, on the 3 yard run, on 1st down, he had a ton of field if he bounced it on the outside….There’s the vision thing again

Me, after Shiancoe pasted the defense...again...

When are we going to start covering the ****ing TE?

Yankees10:

What the hell is going on?

dishingoutdimes:

Why the heck is Rodgers so far off on the comeback routes

Is he throwing early because he’s afraid of Allen?

Me, after Rodgers's second INT Greg Jennings's INT in the endzone...

OH HELL NO!

That wasn’t Rodgers’s fault, either. Can we credit Jennings with the pick?

Cheeseandcorn, seeing Frank Walker's work of mastery..

Holy defensive holding, Batman!

Danwood:

So at halftime

MM needs to:

1. Read Slocum the riot act
2. Tell Rodgers to get the hell out of his funk
3. Tell the defense to start catching an INT here and there

blackoutsox:

My "adjustments" of the half:

1. Sack him
2. Sack him
3. Sack him
