GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers' return is a go.
The Green Bay Packers' two-time MVP quarterback, who was placed on injured reserve after breaking his right collarbone Oct. 15 against Minnesota, is on track to practice Saturday, coach Mike McCarthy said.
"He's got a workout today that we'll obviously evaluate," McCarthy said Friday. "We're looking tomorrow to potentially practice him in a trial return. That's the outlook."

In Mike Zimmer’s first three seasons as coach, the Vikings often won games despite their offense.
Zimmer built a top-notch defense in a hurry, but the offense remained behind. Minnesota was 27th in the NFL in total offense in 2014, 28th in 2015 and 28th last season.
Well, the other side of the ball finally has caught up.
The Vikings are the NFL’s only team to rank in the top five in total offense (5th) and total defense (5th). That kind of balance has been a key reason in Minnesota being 9-2 and tied for the second-best record in the NFL.
“It’s important for us as an offense,’’ wide receiver Adam Thielen said Friday. “Obviously, we have a lot of confidence with our defense, but we want to kind of have their backs as well. So when they let up a score, we want to have their backs and score, so it just takes some pressure off them.’’

Spoiler alert, Julio. The Minnesota Vikings are definitely going to play man-to-man with Xavier Rhodes on Sunday.
The Atlanta Falcons’ superstar receiver told the media Thursday that he’s looking forward to a one-on-one matchup with one of the NFL’s top shutdown corners.

“[Rhodes] is a very confident guy,” Jones said. “Hopefully man-to-man. Go out, hopefully get man-to-man and we’ll see. But I don’t know how they’re going to play me. They have a tendency to cheat the safety a little toward the star, but we’ll see Sunday.”

Vikings haven't had a mainstay at quarterback in 25 years — but they routinely make the playoffs, anywayOn Sunday afternoon, the Vikings will suit up in Atlanta’s new $1.6 billion palace in search of their 10th win, behind a quarterback they signed to back up the quarterback they traded for after their first-round pick got hurt.
Nine-hundred and twenty-seven miles north, the Green Bay Packers — they of the charmed quarter-century of quarterback play — will take to Lambeau Field trying to keep their flickering playoff hopes alive, behind Brett Hundley, the backup QB whom coach Mike McCarthy has staunchly defended since Aaron Rodgers broke his right collarbone at U.S. Bank Stadium on Oct. 15.
Since the Packers’ renaissance began with Brett Favre in 1992, there’s perhaps been nothing more galling to Vikings fans about the team they love to hate than its consistency at the game’s most important position. After Favre’s 16 seasons produced three NFL MVP awards, two Super Bowl trips and one title, the Packers turned to Rodgers, who’s won two regular-season MVPs and hoisted a Lombardi Trophy of his own.
But while the Packers continue to see how the other half lives while hoping for a late-season Rodgers return, the Vikings are steamrolling toward the playoffs with what’s become something of their own quarterback trademark: resourcefulness.

Y'all remember who this kid's daddy is right??

Linval Joseph says Vikings ‘better’ than ’11 Giants he won Super Bowl withlink:

“This team is better,’’ Joseph said. “It’s a different team, a
younger team and we’re hungry and we want a ring and want to just keep
winning one game at a time and just keep doing our job and just keep
proving to everybody that we’re a good team.’’

The Giants in 2011 went just 9-7 in winning the NFC East before
getting hot in the playoffs and winning four straight games, including
21-17 over New England in Super Bowl XLVI. The Vikings are 9-2 and have
won seven straight entering Sunday’s game at Atlanta.

When told about Joseph saying the Vikings are better than those Super
Bowl-winning Giants, linebacker Anthony Barr wasn’t surprised.

“He better say that,’’ Barr said. “I don’t know what else he would
say. If he said we were worse than them, he’d need to find somewhere
else to go. He’s going to ride with us for sure.’’

Much ado about nothing? Or Something?  Here is Fox vs CNN views:

A biggie for me is sometimes good teams just don't play well...It's unexplainable other than they're human and have their off-days. Just like us. 

Check this out if you got a bit of time to kill. Found it interesting. Never knew how big or small some countries actually are when compared properly - Just what are the true sizes of countries? Typical maps we look at do not properly scale. Check out the Youtube video for good explanation then check out this website to play around with the countries of the world - https://thetruesize.com/#?borders=1~!MTU...NQ(MjI1)MQ

Happy to hear Kendricks is back practicing - though limited. We REALLY need him on the field this Sunday. Remmers not as critical if he does not play because of the good play of Hill.

I was unaware of Kendricks hip injury - hopefully it wasn't something major and they were just giving him more time to rest it.
