From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.

I would hope the Pack D makes a shut out on the Vikes home field. More, I want to see the offense play like it’s October and mid season, racking up more time of possession and at least three TDs.

Come on down and try some of our delicious green chili! Best in the world!
I expect it to be something like 38-6, but I'm hoping for the shutout. The offense will look fine, not great, but the defense and special teams (!) will set them up for success.

As I’ve said a few times when citing how stupid it was to think Rodgers was done, year one of the Shannahan/McVay style offenses notoriously struggle. It usually takes a season for the offensive line and QBs to really get it. I think the Vikings won’t be any different. Our defense will lock them up.
I don’t particularly think their run game is that good with how poor their line is. If we play well up front which I suspect we will their offense will be behind schedule routinely.
Offensively I do have my concerns with the lack of talent at WR but I think we can just run it down their throats and play the field position/clock game.
As per last season the game will come down to just how badly the STs can manage to screw up. You need to secure points when they’re available through field goal/XPs and you cannot gift field position by allowing blocked punts or long returns.
Week 1 is always weird in the NFL. I’ll be pissed if we lose but ultimately I will try and not let it affect my outcome on the season.
