NFL Monday's - PACKERS @ VIKINGS

Hmmm. Brett Favre has still got it.

Brett Favre through for 3 touch downs (271 yds) for the 68th time in his career. His second TD pass waa an 18 yard off balance pass to Rice.

Aaron Rodgers by no means had a bad game 26-37 384yds 2 TDs, proving that Green Bay did make the right move a little over a season ago, it's just that Rodgers had no pass protection, getting sacked 8 times. Stopper Jarred Allen being credited with 4.5 of them. He certainly does have one of the best arms in the NFL, maybe only behind Rivers of the Chargers.

But the Vikings sure do look good - with the best running back in the game, Adrian Peterson, and Favre - the Vikings can attack both in the air and on the ground. With Favre startibng to find his groove, that will only provide better opportunities for the most dynamic RB in the NFL as the season progresses. Tonight the Packers contained the ground, holding Peterson to only 55 yards (only 11yds in the 2nd half), including a fumble forced by Clay Mathews who ran the 40 yards to the endzone.

However, Green Bay's 3-4 defense could not do it all, with Favre having all the time in the world to make play after play after play. Green Bay's shortcomings at safety were really highlighted with Favre havning his first game of the season where he threw 10 yard plys throws. The focus on Peterson sure gives The Vikings a double pronged attack.
Coupled with the best running defense in over the last season and a bit, the Packers did  well to keep it close. With Rodgers throwing the ball, anything is possible, he has a great arm but Green Bay need to improve on the front line. Rodgers has alreadty been sacked 20 times this season.
