commentary...

no one is happy in Green Bay after today's tie against the Vikings... i am not happy about the tie,as a shareholder/owner of the Packers,but as a fan,i am still smiling,because in the fourth quarter,the Packers came to life offensively,as the Vikings crumbled,offensively... to give the Vikings their proper due,they rushed for 237 yards as a team(Adrian Peterson 146 yards,Toby Gerhart,91 yards),but what got them their 23-7 lead,early in the fourth quarter was the offensive balance that they had,but they dropped critical passes at critical times,to prolong drives late in fourth quarter,and into overtime... Matt Flynn came in for an ineffective Scott Tolzien,in the third quarter,and threw for 218 yards and,i believe,a touchdown in fourth quarter,and did a heck of a job... the Packers' defense was swiss cheese against the run,and had an overall bad day,excluding the fact that they had six quarterback sacks(two by linebacker Clay Matthews),on Vikings' quarterback Christian Ponder,but the Vikings' receivers dropped quite a few passes,in the fourth quarter,and in overtime... Eddie Lacy,for the Packers,had 110 yards on 25 carries,with a touchdown... Tolzien also had a six yard rushing touchdown,to start the scoring,but then went ice cold until he was relieved by Flynn,who was the hero,if there was one for the Packers... this is only the second tie,in 107 meetings between the teams... the other one:November 26,1978:a 10-10 tie in Green Bay...
