PrintSince 2006 under Childress's law The Minnesota Vikings have not defeated the Green Bay Packers. It's been a long time coming for the purple and many of us not only want and desire a win, but, DEMAND a win from our players and Head Coach. This could be a defining game for us in our division. In the weeks ahead we have the Chicago Bears, and Detriot Lions. If we plan on showing dominance in our divison it should start sunday at the dome. Take a look at the past Green Bay scores, since 2006.
2006 week 10
Green Bay - 23
Minnesota - 17
2006 week 16
Green Bay - 9
Minnesota - 7
2007 week 4
Green Bay - 23
Minnesota - 16
2007 week 10
Green Bay - 34
Minnesota - 0
So who do you guys think will be the difference maker on Sunday?
Gus Frerott
Adrian Peterson
Chester Taylor
Bernard Berrian
Sidney Rice

As much as I love All Day (and he's far and away my favorite)...
I think it’s going to be GusGus and the passing game that’re going to be the deciding factors.
In AP I trust

It’s obvious that Adrian is a major factor, because well…he’s our entire offense, but Bernard Berrian needs to show off his stuff this game if we’re going to win, unlike last game.
Berrian Finding His Stride
Last game, Berrian was looking like the deep threat he was brought in to be, he actually beat his coverage both with moves and speed. Very, very good to see, and he and Gus are clearly getting more in sync.
Shianco was looking pretty good too, btw. A very pleasant surprise, and very welcome.
Gus’ problem, in the long run, is partially his age and partially his inconsistency. He can look great for 4 or 6 games, then be throwing interceptions left and right and making people wonder why he was ever allowed on the field. I like him, but I think that only desperation or the Peter Principle can make him a first-string QB.
BTW, I think the key will be the chemistry between Gus and Berrian. If they’re hot, they’ll either spark the game up, or open things up for AP to run amok.
Berrian
Berrian was getting open and burning corners the whole season. The difference is now he is actually catching the ball.

Peterson is going to be the big factor. The Packers just can’t slow him down. They aren’t quick enough. They had trouble with Chris Johnson last week, so I’m pretty sure their hands are going to be full with Peterson AND the passing game that’s showing some life.
Do they have Woodson back?
