THE TEAM FROM MINNESOTA SPENT A TON OF DOUGH
TRYING TO IMPROVE THEIR OFFENSIVE LINE
AND WHEN ONE LOOKS AT THOSE GUYS ON PAPER
IT SEEMS THE VIKINGS SHOULD BE JUST FINE

THEY FOUND A BACK FAMILIAR WITH THE SYSTEM
FEELING HE WAS READY FOR A BREAKOUT YEAR
WHY THEN INSTEAD OF TOUCHDOWN RUNS
DOES THAT OFFENSE PRODUCE MAINLY TEARS?

SOMEHOW SOMEWAY BRAD CHILDRESS MUST
FIND THE WAY TO MAKE THAT OFFENSE PRODUCE
BEFORE THE PLAYERS GIVE UP ON HIM
AND GET THE FEELINGS OF "OH MAN WHAT IS THE USE?"

THIS WEEK THE LIONS COME TO VISIT
BRINGING WITH THEM A RECORD OF ZERO AND FOUR
AND WHILE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO STOP THEIR FOES
IN THESE PAST WEEKS THEY'RE REALLY STARTING TO SCORE

JON KITNA FOR NOW LOOKS MORE THAN ADEQUATE
AND KEVIN JONES HAS RUN THE BALL PRETTY WELL
IT'S THE LION DEFENSE THAT HAS LET THEM DOWN
AND MADE EACH GAME SEEM A LITTLE MORE LIKE HELL

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

"MAYBE WE JUST AIN'T VERY GOOD..."
ARE THE WORDS THAT BRETT FAVRE HAS SPOKEN
AND WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT
OR HOW BADLY THIS PACKERS' TEAM WAS BROKEN?

MONDAY NIGHT WAS JUST HARD TO WATCH
NO MATTER HOW CHEERFUL WE TRIED TO BE
AS THE PACKERS MISFIRED AND FLOUNDERED ON OFFENSE
AND WERE EVEN WORSE WHEN PLAYING 'D'

THE INJURY LIST IS GROWING EVER LONGER
AND THE LACK OF BACKUP PLAYERS IS VERY PLAIN
THE "MANAGER" HAS NOW STARTED CUTTING "PROBLEM CHILDREN"
AFTER THIS WEEK HOW MANY PLAYERS WILL REMAIN?

THOSE IN CHARGE HAVE TO TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK
TRYING TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF WHAT'S GOING ON
AND INSTEAD OF MOUTHING "WE'RE GETTING BETTER" PLATITUDES
SOLVE SOME PROBLEMS NOT SING THE SAME OLD SONG

THIS WEEK THE RAMS COME TO VISIT LAMBEAU FIELD
RIDING A TWO-GAME WINNING STREAK
BEHIND MARC BULGER'S ARM AND STEVE JACKSON'S LEGS
IT SHOULD RUN OUT TO THREE GAMES THIS WEEK

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

THE VIKES HAVE TO MAKE SOME EARLY MOVES
OR THE LIONS WILL PILE ON THE SCORE
AND WHILE A PACKER WIN WOULD HEAL SOME ILLS
A LOSS IS WAITING OUTSIDE THEIR DOOR

Green Bay lost (badly) to Philadelphia | 9-31
Minnesota lost to Buffalo | 12-17
