So we have a big time matchup coming up on Sunday and and for some reason I'm not really sure why it doesn't exactly feel like it

This is a monster monster football game and I understand the Vikings are

Their record does not indicate that they are a very good football team but I have a lot of respect for my Zimmer

I have a lot of respect for the talent on this offense in particular Justin Jefferson Adam Thielin Dalvin cook and even Kirk cousins yes even Kirk cousins I said I had respect for his talent not always for everything else

This is a four and five team that is six and a half wins on estimated wins by football outsiders the same number as the Packers now do I think there is good as Green Bay no not even a little

But this is a very good football team that has not played consistently at the end of games and has lost basically every close game they played and every game they played has been a close game

Green Bay luckily has not had to deal with close game luck because they haven't played any close games which is good because it means that they're winning games

Late game execution is a thing but it is also something that is fickle it can it can not be relied upon week to week to win you a game

And so Green Bay is going to they're just going to have to come out and play really good football and making that more difficult this week the injuries

This David boxy are situations not going away because he practiced last week and it seemed like he was going to have a chance to play and practice the week before and it seemed like he was going to have the chance to play

And now he's not practicing and there's really no explanation for what's going on what's happening why why now it could be as simple as yeah they gave him some reps he's not quite as close physically as they thought so they're going to they're going to rest him

Maybe that's the simplest explanation Matt LaFlor insists it's not a not a setback I find that hard to believe but but maybe not people are asking what I'm drinking hello I got a little Vino in the glass I've got some it's some some rosettes it's early still five you know five 30 it's happy hour

You got to eat a nice little ease into it we can start the serious business in an hour or two

But so that means against this Minnesota Vikings team they're going to they're going to have Elton Jenkins at left tackle and they're going to have the offensive line that they've had the last few weeks
