Packers vs. Vikings – Game Day First Impressions, Unfiltered: GB 24 MIN 10
Erik Walden
Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings:
My unfitered game day running blog post of comments, observations and first impressions.
Inactive for Packers today: WR Jarrett Boykin; CB Davon House; RB James Starks;LB Frank Zombo; WR Donald Driver; DT Jordan Miller; DE Jerel Worthy
Inactive for Vikings today: QB Christian Ponder, WR Stephen Burton, OT Troy Kropog, DE George Johnson, DE D’Aundre Reed, LB Tyrone McKenzie, CB Brandon Burton
Game Notes:
It’s come to this: inactive for a home playoff game. Gotta feel bad for Donald Driver…
Vikings throw a monkey wrench into the Packers defensive game plan – Christian Ponder inactive.
Packers are 2-4 in their last six home playoff games. In all six of those game, the opposing team scored on their first possession.
16 of the last 21 Packers – Vikings games have been decided by seven points or less.

Mike McCarthy Pregame Show on 620 WTMJ:
Ponder: Joe Webb – very athletic QB. Had some time to look at him during the week, even today as it became more apparent he will play.
back-to -back same opponent: In a lot ways, we feel we’ve had 2 weeks to prepare for this game. QB change is an adjustment for our defense.
Stopping AP: Good solid run defense. It’s about us. We’re at home, it’s about the mission we have before us.
