Obviously the Packers play the Vikings tomorow, and obviously it's going to be a tough game. The Packers starting with Aaron Rodgers, who has not played a complete game in his NFL career, will have a tough start against the stable defensive that the Vikings have. Obviously the packers need to do one thing to win, stop Adrian Peterson. Tarvaris Jackson, the Vikings starting quarterback, will beat himself if he has to throw the ball. Especially since the Packers defense is one of the best in the NFL, with their star defensive backs Charles Woodson, Al Harris, & Atari Bigby.
The Packers do have a very talented offense though. They have one of the NFL's best receiving core with starters Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones, & Donald Lee. They also have a young prospect by the name of Jordy Nelson who is suppose to be the best receiver in the 2008 NFL Draft. Ryan Grant (the Packers running back) is also projected for a big year after the numbers he put up in the 2007-2008 season. The only downside to the Packers offense this year is the starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, people are expecting big things from him following the outstanding career that Brett Favre had. As long as the Packers defense stops Adrian Peterson, and Aaron Rodgers has an ok game, I beleive that the Packers will come out victorious 27 - 17.

The post is well placed, the timming is nice because everyone is/was excited about this rival matchup. I agree with the prospect of Aaron Rogers having big shoes to fill, but i think he is going to do just fine. After reading the post i have more faith that the pack will at least make the play-of this season.
-Go pack Go!
In the beginning of the paragraph you used the word 'obviously' about 400 times, but I did enjoy reading it. It was very informative and you knew a lot about the subject.
I agree with what you said about the game, but I am a skeptic about Aaron. Packers have one of the best offenses in the league. A few times Rodgers just got lucky because of the skill of the players. I think they will bail him out of a lot of situations and people will look at Rodgers for being good when it is just the other players.
Your blog was pretty sweet, and it helped me to learn more about the packers, even though I'm not really into football that much, maybe i'll like it more now that i know more about it. You really know your football stuff :P
I'm really not a football fan, but I am happy your beloved Packers did not disappoint you. Enjoy the season.
Happy blogging,

GO PACKERS!
All right thats out of my system.
The packers had many questions coming into this game, especially since it was against the Vikings, who suck. I thought all your arguments were fair for an entry before that game. But after watching them play we should all give them the benefit of the dought on all those questions, bro! They came out and looked pretty sharp and Aaron Rodgers looked like a man possesed, by his first NFL start!
