Vikings 2018 Season
Womens Tom Compton Jersey , Week 2: in this spot, I try to give you - the faithful DN’ers - a glimpse into the world of
an upcoming opponent.This could mean anything from injury updates and player
bios, to interesting news regarding mascots, stadiums, and uniform changes.Most
of this information goes under the radar and I try to mine the interwebz to
bring it to you.But it’s Vikings-Packers week, ladies and gentlemen.All the news
that’s fit to print has been printed.Granted, we still don’t know the status of
Aaron Rodgers (hint: we likely won’t until kickoff), or Davante Adams (hint:
he’ll play), but it’s a pretty safe bet that every angle will have been covered
at some point by the time the game kicks off on Sunday.With that in mind, this
week’s “News and Notes” section will look a bit different.By now, you’ve heard
that this week’s opponent, the Green Bay Packers, beat the Chicago Bears.No need
to rehash.But, if you missed that news completely and do want to read rehash, I
did a piece earlier this week and talked all about it. But I won’t abandon this
column, even for a week.After all
Womens Trae Waynes Jersey , that’s why they’re paying me the big bucks!There is one other interesting news item that came out of the game, as the
website footballzebras.com points out:The Packers erroneously received a fourth
timeout during the Bears’ second to last drive.It may not have affected the
outcome of the game, because Chicago most likely still would have kicked a field
goal, but the two-minute warning would have been in play during the ensuing
kickoff return.So, Green Bay would have taken over with no timeouts and no
two-minute stoppage.Perhaps the play-calling would have been different.We’ll
never know.The Packers on OffenseThe Packers hopes this week rest one-hundred
percent on the shoulders of Aaron Rodgers.If he plays, the Pack stays in the
game.If it’s DeShone Kizer?Goodnight, Irene.Running the ball against the Bears
in week one, the Pack averaged just over 3.5 yards per carry, and, though Jamaal
Williams’ nice pass protection led to Davante Adams’ 51 yard gain, his starting
spot is far from guaranteed when Aaron Jones returns from suspension this
week.Adams, Randall Cobb, and Geronimo Allison (no relation) make up the brunt
of the Pack receiving corps, with Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis (no relation)
taking snaps at Tight End.It’s a formidable group - unless DeShone Kizer is
quarterbacking the team, at which point they simply become five people who have
never been in my living room.Adams, however, has been dealing with a shoulder
injury
Youth Adam Thielen Jersey , suffered at the end of Randall Cobb’s touchdown, so he could be slowed a bit.The Packers on DefensePackers’ Defensive
Coordinator Mike Pettine threw a completely foreign look at Bears QB Mitchell
Trubisky, as our friends over at Acme Packing Company point out.Pettine had six
or more defensive backs on the field on over 60 percent of the team’s defensive
snaps, and stayed in the formation even when Chicago presented three-back
offensive formations.Minnesota is better at every offensive skill position -
individually and collectively - than Chicago, so it could turn out to be a
recipe for disaster if Green Bay tries going that route this week.On the
defensive line, Mo Wilkerson, Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark form a very solid
core, and Nick Perry does a nice job providing pass rush off the edge.Are they
Griffen, Joseph, Richardson, and Hunter?Absolutely not, but neither were Thomas,
Mitchell, Buckner, and Armstead last week and even they gave the Vikings
offensive line fits.Beyond Nick Perry, the Packers linebackers are simply not
good, and Clay Matthews has become an every down liability.They may get some
help this week if rookie Oren Burks is a go
http://www.thevikingsfootballauthentic.com/matt-wile-jersey-authentic , but this is a unit that is in desperate need of some help.It’s really too bad
that the Pack couldn’t find a linebacker somewhere who could come in, get after
the quarterback, and create some turnovers.They’d be a pretty damn good defense
if there was such a player.The Packers defensive backs are a collection of very
young, very athletic players - the exception being 35 year old starting
cornerback Tramon Williams. Honestly, they’re a confusing bunch of guys whose
first and last names all start with the letter “J”, or “K”, so I’m really not
sure who the good ones are.There’s a Jermaine, a couple Josh’s, and a Jaire.And
a Kevin.Mason Crosby still kicks for the team, and the Packers are counting on
fifth round draft pick, punter J.K. Scott (really?? More J’s and K’s?) on fourth
down.Ridiculous Quote(s) of the Week:Ahhhhh??Here’s where the real meat and
potatoes of Vikings/Packers week really shows up.Silly things said by sillier
people, who believe that buying a novelty piece of paper from the team somehow
puts them on a different level than the guy who buys a hotdog and a giant foam
finger.So, check these out and cast your vote for your whichever one you think
is the ridicul-est.Choice number one:Choice number two:Choice number
three:Choice number four:Honestly, I’m not even sure that last one is a real
person, judging by the rest of his tweets (seriously, check them out).I really
hope the jokes on me, and it’s just a brilliant troll somewhere out
there.Yikes.The one where we talk about the Lions and Jets Good Evening!Hey
fellow DN’ers
Youth Stefon Diggs Jersey , I hope you had a great day at work and enjoyed the Vikings win yesterday over the 49’ers. Hawt Taek Monday is always a
lot more fun when the Vikings win, unfortunately it appears at least one of the
Vikings players is now on IR for the rest of the season.I thought last night’s
game thread for Sunday night was a success even though the result of the game
wasn’t exactly what I’d hoped for.It’s time for the first Monday night game of
the year and I think we’ll continue these as long as people are dropping by and
commenting.I don’t know who you’ll be cheering for but although I have nothing
personal against the Lions I’d rather see another NFC North opponent lose a
game.Stop by let’s make fun of the mistakes our future opponents make on the
field and maybe be entertained. With that, let’s be neutral....just kidding, ah
I don’t really care.Also, GIF’s are welcome in this game thread and if you’re
unfamiliar with me I have a very dim view of misogynistic comments, they don’t
belong anywhere on the Daily Norseman and particularly not in a thread I post.A
few rules though, these will look oddly familiar.-No discussion of politics or
religion-No feeding of the trolls-This isn’t a male version of The View, so
leave the gender hatred at the door-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using
the spoiler tags, if you must)-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or
movie, please use spoiler tags-No pictures that could get someone fired or in
serious trouble with their employer-If you can’t disagree in a civil manner,
feel free to go away-While navigating the Lions Jets thread, just assume it’s
sarcasm
