Vikings vs. Packers: Halftime Observations for Green Bay

It doesn't get much better than a divisional matchup on Monday Night Football. It's even better when you have the best team in the NFL and you're basically guaranteed to win the game. The Packers were given a challenge from rookie quarterback Christian Ponder in their first matchup of the season, but it seems more and more likely that was merely an aberration.

As the Packers try to seal up this victory early in the third quarter, let's take a look at few things the Packers can work on to help the rest of their season.

Dog Pile

I don't think the Packers should be afraid to pile on the points in the second half. This is a division game, at home, and Aaron Rodgers and company know exactly what the fans came to see.

They don't want to watch Ryan Grant and James Starks run the clock out. Keep putting the points on the scoreboard, and let's see some fireworks. 

Max Protect Rodgers

Usually a max protect is only used on a punt, but I'm saying the Packers need to start using some unbalanced line packages to double-team Jared Allen. The star defensive end is leading the NFL in sacks, and he's already found ways to get to Rodgers.

The Packers losing Rodgers would be about as devastating an injury as it gets. Allen is vicious and he will not hesitate to take A-Rod down hard.

Kuuuuuuhn

Packer fans love John Kuhn. It's evident when you hear Lambeau Field belt out the "Kuuuuuhn" rally call for the Packers' fullback. Last year, the Packers moved the ball very well with Kuhn as fullback.

Starks and Grant haven't gotten much of anything done in the first half of the season, let alone this game. The playoffs will be here before you know it, so it's important to find out which Packers back has the hot hand.

Kuhn doesn't get the call in the huddle often, but I'd like to see him get the opportunity to stretch his fresh legs down the field. Get the crowd fired up!
