Maybe It's Not Olivia After All

Olivia Hoping to Kiss and Make Up
The revelation that Aaron Rodgers has an injured shoulder should take some of the heat off Miss Olivia Munn, if she has taken my advice and kept her mouth shut.
 
The disturbing thing about the Munn Polarization is how fast the RC Packer Fans and TITs turned on her. I would have thought Packer Backers were above that sort of thing, but I guess I forgot Wisconsin is mainly conservative country and today's conservatives are always ready to make it us against them and poor Miss Munn is about as them as they come being a liberal actress. It's only a small step to go after Rodgers because he is from California and they all know that is where all the nuts and liberals are.
 
It's funny how it started with Miss Munn taking umbrage at an ESPN columnist suggesting Rodger's less than stellar play could have something to do with a situation at home. If she had not said a word it would have come and gone and I bet the Packers fans wouldn't have picked up on it. But fighting back turned it into a bonified excuse for some segments of Packer society and they jumped on it and Miss Munn.
 
Once a conservative digs up a bone they don't let it go. Even if the truth comes out like a shoulder injury that makes no difference because they already have their explanation and they are sticking to it. Like I said before I'm afraid this has already gone too far and it won't end up good. I only hope those narrow minded Packer fans understand that going after Miss Munn might end up with Rodgers asking for a trade. Think about the unintended consequences.
 
Now back to the real world. The season is at that make or break point. A loss to the Vikings will only follow with a loss to Bears at Lambeau Field. The skid has to stop Sunday and all facets of the team playing at peak efficiency. The Vikings are not a pushover anymore.
The Packers will have Davante Adams and Eddie Lacy back at full strength. However, Jared Abbrederis (ankle) is out. Micah Hyde (hip injured on the on-side kick), T. J. Lang (shoulder) and Ty Montgomery (ankle) are questionable. If Lang is out then I guess Josh Walker may get the start.
 
David Bakhtiari (knee) is probable, but it might be worse and Don Barclay will have to start at left tackle and that didn't go well during the preseason. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (concussion) is not on the injury report, but he may also be out as he goes through the protocol.
 
The long and the short of it is that the Packers have to stop Adrian Pederson and stopping the run is not Dom Capers' long suit. The Packers will also have to stop the short pass in the middle from Teddy Bridgewater and once again with a full squad the middle of the field is always open. If both Hyde and Clinton-Dix are out then things are going to dire.
 
I don't see how this defense can stop the Vikings. I would have hoped that snow storm was going to hit Minnesota, but it is only gong to be cold with no snow or rain. Bad conditions would have helped the Packer defense.
 
So it comes down to the offense and I honestly don't know how things are going to go. The offensive line has been bad both in the running game and protecting Rodgers, Eddie Lacy has been bad, and the receivers can't get open, except for Richard Rodgers and the other tight ends in the end zone. But the problem is getting to the end zone to begin with.
 
I don't have good feeling about this game and sadly predict the fourth straight loss.
