These Stats Tell the Story For the Packers
Nov 3rd
The Green Bay Packers have piled up some eye-popping stats in their games against the Minnesota Vikings – of the negative variety. Two things immediately jump out when you look at the two games, both of which the Vikings won. Pressuring the quarterback The Packers’ inability to protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers is well documented. The [...]
Packers’ Defender Points Finger at Capers, Again
Nov 2nd
For the second time after a loss to the Minnesota Vikings, a member of the Green Bay Packers’ defense is pointing fingers. The first time, it was cornerback Charles Woodson, who openly and loudly questioned why the Packers didn’t blitz Brett Favre more. That was a good question, at the time. The Packers routinely sent [...]
Johnny Jolly: The Embodiment of What’s Wrong in Green Bay
Nov 2nd
Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly made some pretty boneheaded comments to the Green Bay Press-Gazette following Sunday’s 38-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, regarding his personal foul penalty. Jolly gave the Vikings a fresh set of downs in the first quarter after being flagged for head butting Vikings running back Chester Taylor. The [...]
Packers Simply Outplayed in Favre Bowl II Loss
Nov 1st
There’s really not much to analyze in the Green Bay Packers’ 38-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings Sunday in Favre Bowl II at Lambeau Field. Vikings QB Brett Favre was booed – and booed heartily – pretty much every time he stepped onto his old playing field. So was former Packers kicker Ryan Longwell, but [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Vikings
Nov 1st
Total Packers takes a look at today’s Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings game and offers their predictions. Monty: Forget about Brett Favre for a second. This game comes down to two things: turnovers and pressure. If the Packers can win the turnover battle and keep Aaron Rodgers off the ground, they’ll win going away. The [...]
The Best of Vikings Week
Oct 31st
We’ve published a lot of great stuff here at Total Packers this week, if I do say so myself. When the Green Bay Packers play the Minnesota Vikings, it just brings the best out of everyone… because the Vikings are a bunch of scumbags. So, here’s a roundup of the best from the past week. [...]
Gilbert Brown Would Fart on Brett Favre
Oct 31st
That’s right. The Gravedigger, Gilbert Brown, the 340-pound former Green Bay Packers defensive tackle would fart on Brett Favre. Brown and ESPN First Take host Jay Crawford had this exchange during Friday’s show (ESPN is apparently running a series of former Packers talking about Favre’s return to Lambeau Field – William Hendrson was on the [...]
How to be “Classy” for Brett Favre’s Return
Oct 31st
In anticipation of Brett Favre’s return to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers for the first time as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, the word “class” has been hanging in the air like an I-was-drinking-Pabst-for-12-hours-straight-yesterday fart. Not only has it lingered, but even when the stench has dissipated, you can’t help but [...]
Brad Childress Cross Dressing Photos
Oct 30th
You probably thought this would be one of my usual satirical looks at the Minnesota Vikings and/or their coach, but you wish. Remember on Monday when we told you about Brad Childress’ cross dressing incident? Well, now, thanks to Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe we have the hideous proof. Frankly, although the photos aren’t that [...]
Henderson Plans to Boo Brett Favre, Too
Oct 30th
Former Green Bay Packers’ fullback William Henderson – or as we always liked to call him, HONDO! – told ESPN’s First Take that he too will boo Minnesota Vikings quarterback when he returns to Lambeau Field on Sunday. Here’s snip of what HONDO! had to say. The full video of the interview follows. “As much [...]
Can’t Get Enough Brett Favre? Just Wait til Sunday
Oct 30th
As much as ESPN’s cheapening of sport continually makes me want vomit, Fox has actually outdone them this time. ESPN: “We got record ratings for a cable program for Brett Favre vs. the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.” Fox: “Oh yeah, well we’ll see your Favre and raise you a Favre! We’re gonna [...]
Get To Know A Viking: Jeff Dugan
Oct 30th
Let me be totally honest. Last Sunday, I cheered louder during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ victory over the Minnesota Vikings than I did during the Green Bay Packers’ cakewalk over the Cleveland Browns. I was also watching the game closely to spot our next subject for our Get To Know A Viking. We’ve already covered Hillbilly [...]
Jim Schmitt’s Big Welcome for Brett Favre a Big Letdown
Oct 29th
By now you’ve heard about Green Bay mayor Jim Schmitt’s plans to “welcome back” Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre in a “classy” fashion before the Vikings play the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Schmitt solicited suggestions from the community and the announcement that we was doing so raised plenty of ire among Packers fans. Well, [...]

Running back Ahman Green and tackle Mark Tauscher, both recently re-signed by the Green Bay Packers, will be ready to play in time for this Sunday’s rematch against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field.

Five Reasons the Packers Will Beat the Vikings
Oct 28th
The Green Bay Packers are three-point favorites going into their contest with the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. Since the Packers are playing in Lambeau Field, that line simply means that the oddsmakers feel these two teams are evenly matched. Still, this season’s history says the Vikings are the better team. The Vikings are 6-1 to [...]
Longwell Knows the Role of Packers Pariah Well
Oct 28th
If anyone knows what Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre is going through this week as he prepares to return to Lambeau Field for the first time since signing with the purple and gold, it’s teammate Ryan Longwell. Longwell returned to Lambeau as a member of the rival Vikings in 2006 after spending his first nine [...]
Please, Tell Me What To Do When Brett Favre Comes To Town
Oct 27th
Opinions are like assholes — everyone has one. And this week, every asshole with a forum is going to tell you and I how we as Green Bay Packers’ fans should react to the return of Brett Favre. I’ve got news for you. I may be just another asshole with a forum, but I am [...]
Brad Childress Also a Cross Dresser
Oct 27th
Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress is a lot of things. Moron. Idiot. Pedophile. Douche. Really bad head coach. Perfect representation of the Minnesota Vikings‘ franchise. He’s also a cross dresser. How do I know this? Chris Mortensen said so, Sunday morning. The following is from his Twitter stream. So coach Brad Childress dressed up like [...]
We Love You Brett Favre!
Oct 26th
Actually, we only love this Brett Favre, now that he’s a member of the Minnesota Vikings. You know you’ve seen him before – many times. We’re not talking about the game-winning, gun-slinging, playing-for-the-love-of-the-game Brett Favre of Green Bay Packers lore. We’re talking about the interception-throwing, ball-dropping, can’t-quite-pull-it-out-at-the-end Brett Favre of the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings [...]
Favre Bowl II Stupidity Begins to Ramp Up
Oct 21st
I’ve blogged before about the idiotic heights some Green Bay Packers’ fans are reaching in anticipation of Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre’s return to Lambeau Field on Nov. 1. In September, Chris Carriveau announced a “purification ceremony” at a “Black Sunday Event” Oct. 31, at which fans can toss their Favre Packers paraphernalia into a [...]
