'OUT OF THE FRYING PAN AND INTO THE FIRE'
MUST BE HOW THE VIKINGS' TEAM IS FEELING
AS THEY PREPARE FOR ANOTHER TOUGH OPPONENT
WHILE LAST SUNDAY'S LOSS STILL HAS THE PLAYERS REELING

EARLY ON THE VIKES WERE SUCCESSFUL RUNNING THE BALL
BUT BECAUSE THEIR QUARTERBACK PLAY WAS JUST ABYSMAL
THE COWBOYS EASILY TOOK CONTROL IN THE SECOND HALF
WHICH MADE MINNESOTA'S FUTURE LOOK A LITTLE DISMAL

THIS WEEK IT'S A PHILADELPHIA TEAM THAT'S STARTED SLOWLY
ACTUALLY POSSESSING THE SAME RECORD AS THE VIKINGS
WHILE THE EAGLES SAY THEIR DEFENSE HAS BEEN 'ADEQUATE'
WE'LL SEE IF ADRIAN PETERSON FINDS IT TO HIS LIKING

EXCEPT FOR THE GOOD RUN DEFENSE OF THE VIKINGS' TEAM
IT WOULD BE BRIAN WESTBOOK'S LEGS THAT HOLD THE KEY
HOWEVER THIS WEEK IT WILL BE THE EAGLES' AIR ATTACK
THAT WILL PROVIDE THE BEST CHANCE FOR A VICTORY

BUT DONOVAN MCNABB HAS BEEN LESS THAN THRILLING
THEREFORE HIS RECEIVERS CAN'T SHOW THEIR STUFF
WHILE THEY CAN MOVE THE BALL BETWEEN THE TWENTIES
GETTING INTO THE RED ZONE IS  PROVING WAY TOO TOUGH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MOST PACKERS' FANS ARE HOPING COACH MCCARTHY
PUT THE GREEN BAY TEAM'S BYE WEEK TO GOOD USE
DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE RUNNING GAME
OR THEY WILL BE READY TO SHOW HIM THE NOOSE

THE BRONCOS WILL WELCOME GREEN BAY TO 'MILE HIGH'
FOR THEIR CONTEST THIS COMING MONDAY NIGHT
WITH THE DENVER TEAM COMING OFF A BIG WIN
THE PACKERS KNOW THEY'LL TO BE IN FOR A FIGHT

THE BRONCOS CAN'T SEEM TO STOP THE RUN
BUT THE PACK CAN'T GET THEIR GROUND GAME GOING
WHILE THE DENVER DEFENSE HAS BEEN IT'S BEST
WHEN THE OPPONENTS CAN BE FORCED INTO THROWING

CAN THE PACKERS START TO RUN THE BALL?
WILL THEY BE ABLE TO STOP THE BRONCOS' BACKS?
AND WHO'LL BE ABLE TO BEST DEFEND THE PASSES
FIRED OFF BY THESE STRONG-ARMED QUARTERBACKS?

WITH AN EVEN RECORD AT THREE AND THREE
WHICH WAY THE BRONCS MIGHT GO IS HARD TO SAY
A LOSS MONDAY NIGHT COULD SPELL THEIR DOOM
WHILE A WIN COULD START THEM ON THEIR WAY

GREEN BAY CAN'T AFFORD TO FEEL COMPLACENT
FOR THE NORTH DIVISION RACE IS STILL AT STAKE
WHILE THE BRONCOS ARE GOING TO TRY TO START A RUN
AND THE PACKERS DON'T NEED TO HAND THEM ANY BREAKS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SINCE JACKSON IS BENCHED WITH A BROKEN FINGER
THE VIKES PROBABLY HAVE AN EVEN CHANCE TO WIN
WHILE THE PACK'S BEATEN DENVER THREE OF THE LAST FOUR
AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO SQUEAK ANOTHER VICTORY IN
