THE VIKINGS WENT DOWN TO TENNESSEE

TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO SAVE THEIR SEASON

FOR DESPITE HIGH HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS

THEY'RE FALLING FAR SHORT FOR SOME REASON

THE TITANS WERE FIRMLY IN THE VIKINGS' SIGHTS

AS LAST SUNDAY'S GAME GOT UNDERWAY

BUT THE VIKINGS GAVE UP TEN FIRST QUARTER POINTS

AND TURNOVERS DETERMINED THE REST OF THE DAY

AS MINNESOTA SEARCHES FOR ANSWERS

A VISIT TO NEW ORLEANS LOOMS

A WIN HERE COULD KEEP THE SEASON ALIVE

WHILE A LOSS COULD SPELL THE VIKINGS' DOOM

DREW BREES THE NEW ORLEANS QUARTERBACK

WILL HAVE TO FACE AN ANGRY MINNESOTA "D"

AND EVEN MISSING TWO OF THE TOP RECEIVERS

THE AERIAL GAME IS QUITE SOMETHING TO SEE

THERE WILL BE SOME GREAT RUNNERS ON THE FIELD

AS BOTH TEAMS RUNNING GAMES REALLY CAN PRODUCE

THE VIKES WITH PETERSON AND TAYLOR

NEW ORLEANS WITH REGGIE BUSH AND "DEUCE"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE PACKERS WENT DOWN TO TAMPA BAY

STILL SMARTING FROM THE COWBOYS LOSS

AN EARLY LEAD MADE IT LOOK LIKE IT WAS THEIR DAY

THEN THE BUCS FOUND AN "ERRANT" RODGERS TOSS

FROM THAT POINT ON THE MOMENTUM CHANGED

WITH THE BUCCANEERS IN CHARGE FROM THAT POINT ON

ALTHOUGH THE PACKERS LED BY ONE POINT LATE

WITH RODGERS' INJURY ANY CHANCE WAS GONE

ATLANTA'S FALCONS COME TO LAMBEAU THIS WEEK

BRINGING A TEAM THAT'S BEEN UP AND DOWN

THEY'VE GOT A GOOD YOUNG ROOKIE QUARTERBACK

WHO JUST LOVES TO FLING THE BALL AROUND

UNFORTUNATELY HIS RECEIVERS OFTEN DROP THE BALL

BRINGING MANY PROMISING DRIVES TO AN END

AND ALTHOUGH HIS BACKS ARE PRETTY DARNED GOOD

ONE-DIMENSIONAL OFFENSES ARE EASIER TO DEFEND

THE FALCONS DEFENSE IS ALSO AWARE OF THAT FACT

AND THAT THE PACKERS' RUNNING GAME CAN'T GET STARTED

WATCH OUT IF MATT FLYNN HAS TO START AT QUARTERBACK

IT WON'T BE A SIGHT FOR THE WEAK-HEARTED

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MINNESOTA'S VIKINGS REALLY HAVE TO WIN OR ELSE

AFTER THIS WEEK THE POSTSEASON MAY BE "FREROTTE-N"

WHILE THE PACKER WAIT TO SEE IF RODGERS WILL START
