ONCE AGAIN THE VIKINGS CAME UP SHORT
AS THE EAGLES CAME INTO THE METRODOME
SHORT ON YARDS, AND PLAYS, AND POINTS
AND TOOK ANOTHER FRUSTRATING LOSS AT HOME

THIS WEEK THE CHARGERS  ROLL INTO MINNEAPOLIS
READY TO GIVE THE VIKINGS TEAM A JOLT
BECAUSE AFTER A LESS-THAN-STELLAR BEGINNING
THEY NOW RESEMBLE THEIR HELMETS' LIGHTNING BOLT

MUCH LIKE THE VIKINGS USE YOUNG ADRIAN PETERSON
THE CHARGERS DEPEND ON THE LEGS OF THEIR 'LT'
THE PLAY OF BOTH THESE TALENTED RUNNING BACKS
SHOULD PROVIDE QUITE A SHOW TO SEE

THE CHARGERS' PHILLIP RIVERS IS VERY GOOD QUARTERBACK
AND WHILE HIS RECEIVERS CAN'T BE CLASSIFIED AS GREAT
THEY'VE JUST ACQUIRED THE TALENTED CHRIS CHAMBERS
AND OF COURSE STILL CAN COUNT ON ANTONIO GATES

WHILE THE VIKING RUN DEFENSE CAN BE IMPRESSIVE
THE CHARGERS' 'D' IS ALSO KNOWN TO BE A FORCE
SO BOTH TEAMS MAY WELL HAVE TO WIN THROUGH THE AIR
AND THE VIKES JUST CAN'T DO THAT OF COURSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SINCE THE PACKERS HAD NEVER WON IN DENVER
THE BRONCOS TRIED TO PRESERVE THE STATUS QUO
DRIVING FOR A LAST SECOND GAME-TYING FIELD GOAL
BEFORE BRETT'S 'OT'  BOMB DEALT THEM THE FATAL BLOW

THIS WEEK THE ROAD TRIP CONTINUES
AS GREEN BAY HEADS OFF TO ARROWHEAD
ENGAGING KANSAS CITY ON THEIR HOME FIELD
WHERE THE STANDS RESEMBLE A SEA OF RED

THE CHIEFS WILL BE WELL-RESTED AND WELL-PREPARED
AS THEY RETURN TO ACTION AFTER THEIR BYE WEEK
BRINGING AN OFFENSE THAT HAS REGAINED IT'S POTENCY
AFTER A START THAT WAS LOOKING PRETTY WEAK

THE KANSAS CITY RUNNING GAME HAS BEEN IMPROVING
AND THE PASSING GAME IS BASED ON THEIR ALL-PRO TIGHT END
WHICH SHOLD CAUSE CONCERN AMONG THE PACKERS' FAITHFUL
BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THEY CAN'T DEFEND

ONE OTHER THING EMERGED FOR THE PACK ON MONDAY
A NEW RUNNING BACK MADE HIS PRESENCE FELT
GREEN BAY IS HOPING HE'S NOT A ONE-HIT WONDER
BUT MAY BE A HIDDEN ACE THAT THEY'VE BEEN DEALT

IF IT COMES TO BE THAT RYAN GRANT
CAN BECOME A SIGNIFICANT RUNNING THREAT
THE RECEIVING CORPS CAN BECOME MORE EFECTIVE
AND TAKE A LITTLE OF THE PRESSURE OFF OF BRETT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NO MATTER WHAT THEIR FANS WOULD LIKE TO HEAR
THE VIKINGS DON'T STAND MUCH CHANCE OF WINNING
AND IT'S JUST TOO BAD FOR THE CHIEFS
THAT NOVEMBER WILL HAVE SUCH A BAD BEGINNING....
