The Green Bay Packers, (4-5-1) will travel to Minnesota on November 25th, to play the Minnesota Vikings, (5-4-1) in the US Bank Stadium on Sunday. Kick-off is scheduled for 12:05.
The last time these two met was on September 16th this year at Lambeau. The game went into overtime ending in a tie. Controversial calls on Clay Matthews for roughing the quarterback may have been the deciding factor for the result of that game.
The Packers are coming off a Thursday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks, losing by a score of 27-24. Another game that questioned the play calling of Head Coach Mike McCarthy. The Packers scored 21 points in the first half and only 3 points the rest of the game. This was the Packers 5th straight loss on the road.
The Vikings are coming off a Sunday night loss at Soldier Field to the Chicago Bears with a score of 25-20.
Now that the dust has settled after losing our 5th straight road game, it’s time to move on. Yes, like many of you, I put the loss on coach McCarthy. Should I have? Well after settling down and coming to reason, Mike had some questionable calls. However, there were numerous mistakes throughout. Aaron Rodgers was not exactly stellar, missing targets and throwing into the ground. Stupid rookie mistakes costing us 80 yards in penalties and as usual, a couple of questionable calls from the referee’s.
I’d like to toss the injury bug in there as well but that can’t be controlled as the aforementioned can be. I’ve accepted the fact that this year’s team is not the team I expected when the season began.
I often lose sight of the fact that it’s only a game, a game I love and get emotional when things don’t go our way. There’s still plenty of season left and I’ll be watching every minute of every game. All I can do is hope to win out but nevertheless, I’ll stand by my Packers win or lose. Go Pack Go !
If the Packers win against the Vikings, they would be tied with them for 2nd place in the NFC North. The “Ultimate” prediction takes the Pack 30-27.
