Packers Roll

With a 23-16 win over the Minnesota Vikings, the Packers start 4-0 for the first time since 1998.

This was a quality win over a not so quality team. Although the defense gave up some big runs, they did not give up a touchdown untill garbage time.

The Packers were leading 10-6 at the half, and had the game in hand from that point on.

The Vikings kind of threatened late, scoring a touchdown with just over 2 minutes left, but the Packers were in a pretty loose prevent for most of the drive, although the touchdown itself was a nice pitch and catch between Holcomb and Rice.

The only bad thing about this game were the announcers. They spent most of the game talking about Favre's record and not watching the game, and some pretty crazy things were coming from their mouths. It was also hard to get a replay or an explanation for many of the plays since any time in between snaps was devoted to the record or sidline interviews. The worst was the first gamebreak down to Miami where it was a rain delay. Yes, FOX cut out of the game to go to Miami-Oakland (who cares?) and then all they told us was that is was rain delayed. Thanks. I'm sure they have a set number of game breaks they agreed to with the sponsor, but that is just silly.

Good game, the Pack is 4-0, and 1-3 Chicago is coming up next. Things are looking up.
