Our take on the Vikings
We all seem to agree that the Vikings are going to fade down the strecth here. After a close loss to the Buccaneers Sunday, it looks like that may continue considering how tough the remaining schedule is for them. I do not think Gus Frerotte can handle the pressure and it showed in the Packers game where he threw three picks and in the last two games, his number one receiver in Berrian has only three catches. Sorry Vikings, maybe next year.
Zach Kruse on the Packers
Sunday was a day of redemption for the Green Bay Packers. After two heart-breaking losses the previous two weeks, the Packers took out their frustration on the Chicago Bears in a 37-3 win at Lambeau Field.
Green Bay dominated Chicago in all facets of the game in what was probably their best performance of 2008.
The Packers out-gained the Bears 427 to 234—a margin of almost 200 yards—and their 28th ranked rushing defense only allowed 83 rushing yards to a decent rushing team.
Aaron Rodgers had a bounce-back game, completing 23-of-30 passes for 227 yards and two scores, but it was Packers running back Ryan Grant who did the most damage.
In all, the Packers ran for 200 yards—far and away their best rushing performance of the season—and Grant accounted for 145 of those yards.
Green Bay is now 5-5, and travel to New Orleans next week for a Monday Night tilt with the Saints.

Keith Shelton on the Lions
What? Detroit has a running game? What? A balanced offense? What? They scored in the first quarter?
Oh...they still haven't won a game? Pity.
On a day when Kevin Jones would rack up over 100 yards for the first time, when Calvin Johnson would score again, when Daunte Culpepper would have 35 passing attempts, and when a receiver named John Standeford would have two huge receptions, when Detroit would score first in a game for the first time all season, none of it would matter...again.

Tom Krems on the Bears
That's right, the Chicago Bears defense did not make the trip to Green Bay on Sunday. At least that's what you would think when you heard Ryan Grant ran for 145 yards on the Bears fourth ranked rush defense. The final score was 37-3 in favor of the Pack.
Well, there is not much to say about this one, except the Bears sucked. Straight up, no fancy way to put it or anything. They just sucked. The lone highlight for the Bears was an interception by Brian Urlacher. Other than that, the Bears defense allowed a total of 200 rush yards. They also allowed Packers QB Aaron Rodgers to pass for 227 yards and two touchdowns.
QB Kyle Orton returned for the Bears, which I personally think was too soon, but I think a lot about how stupid some of...for the rest of the article, click here.
