Week 8

Karlusss

Bit early, but the week merits it:

Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers



Favre vs. his successor. Favre vs. Green Bay. Favre vs. Favre.

This is going to be fun.

Yes, it's a biggie. What about Favre Vs Woodson? Rodgers has been getting better by the week. He has the second highest rating behind Manning. It'll be November, outdoors, Lambeau and the Pack will be fired up!

I think the D will come up big in this one to win it well. For the Pack, of course.

Yup but I think the Vikings D will take it.....

Its gonna be great.....

Just wait for it, Brett will throw a long bomb with seconds remaining to win the game.

Max Power1

that may be, but will it be a long bomb to a vikings receiver or a packers defender? :P

Karlusss

Favre came back and he's doing what he does best, so I'll row back on some of what I said about him during Favre Watch 09...

But still, who doesn't want to see this guy sacked HARD at Lambeau?

I dont - the chaps a legend and I want to see him get one over the packers and show he can still throw the rock and play as a qb in the NFL

should be a great weekend. first match i'm watching is [EMAIL="giants@eagles"]giants@eagles[/EMAIL]. Giants have been horrible these past two weeks. They really need to step it up v the eagles who won 2/3 last year including one in the playoffs. Think Eagles will win this one as the Giants D can't get the the QB regurarly & our secondary might as well give fellas free use of the ball their so far behind. If Eagles can stop the run & force Eli to throw the ball it will be interesting to see if he can avoid turnovers unliek last weekend.

Then we get the Favre Bowl. I can see a close game with Brett getting hit a lot. I think the Packers will feed off the energy of a surely fired up crowd. Vikings D will get at Rodgers as well but i reckon Rodgers has better weapons at receiver than favre does. Can't call this one at all

Yep but they are in the same division and each team play each other home and away every season in that situation.

Obviously as a packers fan I can't wait. Every other game at 9 is useless so going to be watching this on the big screen on sky as opposed to gamepass. There are 3 or 4 good looking games at 6 so all set for another great evenings entertainment.

spank_inferno

correct they played in Minnesota with a vikings victory.
Dee-lighted this is on TV, cant wait!

doo-de-doo-doo
Go
Pack
Go!!

Indeed but this game is penned as the more important and eagerly anitcipated of the two. What makes this the bigger of the 2 is the fact its in Green Bay and Favre take on his old team in Lambeau where he made his name.

This is the big one alright.

Compulsory viewing. I know people might tut tut and he was a Packers legend and an all time great of the game...but I really wanna see Favre hit hard...

D.R Adams

Just want to see him do the Packers in their own yard, they were reluctant to trade him to the Vikings when he was first leaving GB and now hes back to haunt them, a warm up season with the Jets and now its back to big time for Favre!!
Vikings to win, snow or no snow!!

Karlusss

All the vets are saying "oh they'll cheer him before the game, they might boo him once it starts". Favre expects a mixture of cheers and boos.

Look at this:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/10/30/aaron-rodgers-gets-his-own-street/

"The city apparently encouraged residents to wear flip-flops to work today to mock Brett Favre's indecisiveness."

I will be shocked if they don't boo him.

KrustyUCC

anybody have a stream for giants v eagles thats working?

Morrisseeee

Denver could be up against it this week ! Orton is sacked on the 1st play of the game, for a loss of 8 yards ! :eek:

Could you send it on to me too Frostie?CHEERS

KrustyUCC

yup not if your a giant fan though. Eli turning the ball is becoming all too common

tallaghtoutlaws

Anyone see that Butler chap on Rams intercept Stafford and then give up a safety? What an idiot. Runs back into endzone and gets tackled :rolleyes:

KrustyUCC

must see that later on ... its not like St Louis can afford stupid play

Yeah saw that, crazy play

Giants on scoreboard 16-6 down. Big penalty scrubs another Eli interception. Still plenty of time for Eagles drive though

Ya im not confident here at all! that was a poor interception luck for the penalty

KrustyUCC

Giants may as well go home now. Big kick off return McNabb to Jackson 7 pts back in 15 seconds

This is poor poor stuff altogether. Really missing Phillips and Ross back there

KrustyUCC

Another interception by Eli :mad::mad: FFS giving eagles ball back down by 16 with 1:17 left before half. Horrible horrible decision making

Hynzie

and the Eli Manning 'Im confused and out of my depth' face returns.

KrustyUCC

we're seeing that face far too often lately. doesn't help when D gives away over 100 pts in under 3 games

Hynzie

Hixon just drooped the ball on the return.

I hate the Eagles I hate the Phillies and I Hate the Yankees. Nothing good can come from this day!!

KrustyUCC

my feed just went down :mad:

Chucky the tree

Going from Mike Holgromen to Johnnie Mitchell is like going from Megan Fox to Jo Brand, awful awful awful.

Ravens playing really well tonite, unfortunatley. Broncos D not able to stop them, and our offense is 'quiet' !! Bummer :(:mad:

Max Power1

if anyone has a stream for the packers game could they please PM me?

Thanks!

EDIT: never mind

Arthur Daley

Colts go 7-0, although it was a close run thing with the 49ers this week. Good to see Bob Sanders back in action.

Max Power1

favre blinks first, botches the snap - rec by GB at the MIN 20

Looking at it again, the center screwed up.

davyjose

Can someone PM me a link? Mine's down!

Colts weren't great at all, but a win's a win. Looking good for the Play-off's anyway. We'll see what happens there.

Big cahnce for Favre now...

Hynzie

They really are booing the sh1t out of Favre! I thought they would when he first walked out but i didnt think it would be going on thought the game

The atmosphere seems unreal there!!

Max Power1

4th and goal from the 1, they run it with AP, TD Minnesota

Sea Devils

Penalties and Special teams hurt us but not too upset about the loss. I liked what I saw out of Smith today and I expect our skill players will make a lot more big plays (Gore on the run, our receivers having enough time to run routes) once we bulk up our O-line a bit.

Chanandler Bong

Great tipped ball by Greenway, i think Mitchell is spot on, Rodgers is trying to do almost too much too early. He cant hold onto the ball for that long against the Vikes!

I was impressed by the 9ers today. Manning got NOTHING From them - big yardage, but an assload of attempts to get there, and 0 TD's for the first time in .... who knows. a couple of drives where SF took their eye off the ball (the Colts drive before HT springs to mind).
TBH though, when the D can take up the slack like they have the last two weeks, it makes me happy. Another Sack for Freeney. We need Gonzalez back and playing well to win a Championship though, IMO.

davyjose

A TD here, and Green Bay have an uphill struggle.

well GB arent looking up to much today - 19 plays for 31 yards isnt exactly the best offense!!!

If the vikes go for it on fourth and convert again, were looking at a 3 score game, and theres really only looking like one winner then

Max Power1

GB are surprisingly awful today. Their O-Line is giving it up like a girl on prom night. Allen and DL having a great game. Rogers getting killed!!
