Showing all due respect for the treatment it received from AP & Co., Green Bay relishes a chance to host its rival.

I'm hoping for some really nasty weather to limit the Packer's passing game. A strong running game would be a tremendous advantage in that scenario.

Whatever green bushers. Keep trying to talk away the fact we beat you tonight with. Vicious running attack you can't stop. I predict next we it gets worse for the bushers, more pounding than your softy defense can take. Vikes will mix in a healthy dose of Toby smash mouth Gerhart and your linebackers will wish they never suited up next week. Great big, huge win today Vikings fans. They can't take that away from us. Yes, yes, yes.

The Packers seem to key on their inability to stop Adrian, but we also beat the Texans when he only had 86 yards rushing. The Packers should be concerned that our quarterback is getting better every game. The Vikings defense played pretty poorly: missed assignments and tackles everywhere. If our defense cleans some things up we can do better. I'm not sure Green Bay can play a lot better except somehow containing Adrian. But the reason they did it in past years betters is because of ... blocking. Our offensive line is built for run blocking. If our defensive line plays better next week it will be better for the Vikes. I agree with them--bring it on.

Love me some Everson Griffen and Jarius Wright lately. Don't wanna see Sherels in the d-backfield again though. Vikes got a huge win despite Raymond and Loadholt.

Weren't the Packers trying to state they were/are a better defensive team than the one the Vikings faced back at the beginning of the month? When Adrian ran for 210 yards? So with Clay Matthews and their "improved" defense, they managed to "hold" AP to 199 yards? Wow. That is most assuredly an improved defense. So now they're hoping to keep Adrian to around 190 yards? What's the phrase? Oh yeah - "Baby steps".

We better get some other corners as Sherels and Jefferson are getting toasted.. The pack kills us on the quick slants!!!! Im not a Ponder fan but he did play a little better.

I hope that Rodgers shows the Vikings that QBs win in the playoffs.

Hitch22-- really?

Neither defense stopped the other team's offense. The key to the game is the adjustments that need to be made on defense. The biggest worry is the injuries in the Vikings secondary. Sherels is a capable special team player, but not a d-back. Keep him off the defense!

Any chance they can bring back Harvin? Or has he packed his bags for another team already? Vikings really need Winfield to get back on the field. I cannot believe the difference he makes. It's night and day. Vikes were doing great against the pack offense until he went out.
