Vikings to Open 2008 Season on Monday Night

According to both Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and Pro Football Talk, the Vikings' opener has been determined.

The NFL will announce this afternoon that the Vikings will play the Green Bay Packers in the Monday night opener at 6 p.m. Sept. 8 on ESPN, according to an industry source. As has become the custom, it will be the first game of a Monday night doubleheader on the network. The game is expected to be played at Lambeau Field and will be the first for the Packers in the post-Brett Favre era.

Wonderful. . .the Vikings get to travel to Lambeau on a night where it's guaranteed that nobody will shut up for two seconds about Brett Favre.  Ah, well, after the Vikings' victory that night, that's pretty much all anyone from Wisconsin will have to talk about.

In tribute to Favre, look for Aaron Rodgers to complete four passes to Vikings defenders that night and get totally outplayed by the better quarterback.

More on this later today.  Continue enjoying your Monday, folks!

The Better Quarterback?
Unless the Vikings signed someone I missed, this is silly to say. I'm not saying Rodgers will be great, but unless he has awful mechanics or can't complete a simple 15-yard out, he has a pretty good chance of being better than Jackson.

I'm a Vikings fan, but let's be realistic about Jackson: he's very, very average.

So you are saying
that Jackson can't complete a simple 15 yrd out.

(by the way, there is nothing SIMPLE about making that throw)

While Jackson may indeed be an average QB, at least he has a sample of play where one can make conclusions one way or the other.

the same CAN NOT be said about Rodgers who has as many broken bones in 3 yrs in the NFL as TD passes.

VikeGuru is a doofus!!
