The Green Bay Packers didn’t punt. In fact, after Tim Masthay hammered the opening kickoff 9 yards deep and the (terrifying) Cordarelle Patterson took it the full 109 yards to the house, Masthay was relieved of his kickoff duties. He had to swing his leg once, chase after Patterson, dive at his ankles, watch the…
The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome is truly a terrible place. It is an honest to goodness shanty. It (along with fake crowd noise being pumped in through speakers) has certainly provided the Vikings with a formidable home field advantage. Minnesota is a very impressive 158-85 at the Humpty Dump.

Does anyone else around here feel like if the Green Bay Packers dealt with even an average-to-above-average number of injuries they’d be like the early-mid 2000’s Patriots?

It is now reasonably clear how long the Packers will be without their best defensive leader, best pass rusher, and $66 million dollar man, Clay Matthews. He had successful surgery to his thumb on Monday, and well more than likely miss 4 games while there are pins in his hitchhiking digit. It’s possible, but seemingly…
