Vikings/Packers notes...

honestly,i would say that the Packers would have a edge,at home,against the Minnesota Vikings,if quarterback Aaron Rodgers was playing Sunday,but he is not,so the game will be a dogfight,at Lambeau Field... the big edge for Minnesota is running back Adrian Peterson,who ran for 210 yards,in the last game,against the Packers,at Lambeau Field... however,that is last year,and except for the occasional flash of power,Peterson has been just ordinary running with the football,but to give him proper due,he has not run too much in the second half of their games,because of the Vikings' 2-8 record... expect him to given "the rock" all day,Sunday,because simply the Packers are not too explosive on offense,lately... the Packers' defense is good against the run,and the defensive backfield has forced two turnovers in the last two games,which is not too good,overall(nine turnovers for the season),but improving,lately... the big question mark for both teams is at quarterback-Scott Tolzien,for the Packers,and Christian Ponder,for the Vikings,who has won only won one game all season,as quarterback... this is a must win game for the Packers,and the Vikings would just love to beat the Packers to give the Packers' season the final nail in their playoff coffin,and to destroy their playoff chances... the crowd at Lambeau will be so pumped up,and may be the motivation for the Packers to pound the Vikings into the "Frozen Tundra"... after the season that the Vikings have had,they will be ready to fight to the final second of the game to beat their bitter division rival,and after three straight losses,the Packers will be ready to pound their bitter division rival into the "Frozen Tundra",and save their slim playoff chances... note:i say that,because to get into the playoffs,the Packers need to win their division,and the proverbial table is set to do so,but three tough division games remain,and no matter what the records are,all the teams know that fact,period...
