commentary...

the way that the Vikings win Sunday,is that the Vikings' defense contain Aaron Rodgers,and keep the Packers off the scoreboard early,and then pound away with Adrian Peterson,and have Ponder manage the game,with timely throws,and mix in runs,by Peterson,and keep football away from Rodgers,and company... honestly,they will try that at first,but the Vikings' offensive line is not that good to keep Clay Matthews,Charles Woodson,and company,from containing Peterson,all day,and keeping Ponder a real chance to manage the game... how does the Vikings stop the Green Bay offense? they do it,by keeping the ball,on critical third downs,and grind the clock down to zero,but they can not do that with a rookie quarterback,unless Peterson rushes for about 200 yards,on about 35-40 carries,but can Vikings' offense,and offensive line,hold up for entire game,and keep them in game? that is their keys to winning the game...
the Packers' keys to game is for the Packers get a lead,force Ponder to throw ball,45-50 times,and keep Peterson down to about 15-25 carries(just keep him from going on a 80 yard run,and multiple long runs),giving up 100 yards to him(which is possible),but force Ponder to beat you with passing ball(the Vikings' receiving corps,except for Percy Harvin,has been known to drop passes,or tip passes,through their hands,meaning they drop passes,and allow interceptions,and the Packers' defense has the most interceptions,since 2006(129,and counting)... Aaron Rodgers and the offense is one of the most dangerous offensive teams,and even with a 14 point lead,Rodgers can be absolutely bloodthirsty,by trying to put more points,with a big play... he has the instincts of knowing,when to go for the play that wins the game(the "dagger",as the announcers,of the Packers,put it),and the Packers just have too much weapons to beat them,this week,unless the Vikings force turnovers,and keep them off the field...
