For all you Cheeseheads drinking Packer Kool-Aid after Green Bay’s 7-1 start, let me give you a fair warning for what to expect this Sunday against the Vikings. Two words, one threat: Adrian Peterson....

Packer games are always a battle, looking through the pre-game article's I take this from them. Sharper better put his money where his mouth is. We need to force some turnovers. With AP being the focus of the Pack defense, we'd better use him as a decoy early and make em' pay. I say spread out the defense and use play action and quick hitting runs. The Pack is hurting in the middle of their defense with DT/DE Corey Williams out, and S Nick Collins not at 100% we should game plan against them. Whomever gets the start at QB must make throws when they are open. We must dominate the line of scrimmage and control the ball/clock.

Defense has to have another outstanding effort, and fluster Farve all game. I see turn-overs being a factor in this game. Finally I like this: Mark my words: "On Sunday, Adrian Peterson will be to the Green Bay defense what final exams are to college students. You know it’s coming, but there’s nothing you can do to stop the pain". Bring the Pain baby.
