THERE IS A SENSE OF DEJA VU FOR PACKERS FANS
AS THEY GLANCE AT VIKINGS' GAMES THIS YEAR
WATCHING MINNESOTA BUILD EARLY LEADS
THEN WATCHING THOSE ADVANTAGES DISAPPEAR

BUT TYPICALLY THE COMEBACK DRIVE WILL BE LED
BY THE HEROIC EFFORTS OF NUMBER FOUR
WHO QUICKLY MOVES HIS TEAM DOWNFIELD
THEN THROWS THE PASS THAT SLAMS THE DOOR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE RAVENS FOUND THIS PATTERN IN PLAY
AS THEIR COMEBACK BID FELL JUST A LITTLE SHORT
LEAVING THE COACHES AND PLAYERS SO FRUSTRATED
THEY PROBABLY ALL WENT OUT FOR A LITTLE SNORT

THIS WEEK THE STEELERS ARE LYING IN WAIT
FOR THE VIKINGS TEAM THAT WILL COME TO PLAY
WHOSE DEFENSE IS STILL WELL-THOUGHT OF
THOUGH THEY'VE BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE FEET OF CLAY

BIG BEN AND HIS STEELERS OFFENSIVE TEAM
CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THEIR CHANCE AT THAT "D"
WHOSE CONFIDENCE IS SOMEWHAT SHAKEN
AND WINFIELD'S ABSENCE PROBABLY WILL BE KEY

TROY PALAMALU WILL HAVE HIS SIGHTS SET ON "A.D."
WHILE THE STEELER 'BACKERS WILL BE STALKING BRETT
BRINGING ONE OF THE FIERCEST PASS RUSHES
THAT THE VIKINGS TEAM HAS FACED AS YET.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IT'S A SYMPTOM OF THE PROBLEMS IN GREEN BAY
THAT 'SKUNKING' AN OPPONENT COULD FEEL SO "BLAH"
IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE GREEN BAY TEAM GOT LUCKY
INSTEAD OF FILLING THE FANS WITH AWE

OF COURSE GIVING UP FIVE SACKS TO A DEFENSE
MISSING THREE OF FOUR STARTING LINEMEN
DOESN'T ESPECIALLY INSPIRE CONFIDENCE
AS RODGERS GETS HAMMERED AGAIN AND AGAIN

BUT THEY WERE "ONLY" PLAYING THE LIONS
WHOM THEY STILL MANAGED TO GET AROUND
HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK WILL BE A LITTLE EASIER
SINCE THEY'RE "ONLY" PLAYING THE BROWNS

THE CLEVELAND TEAM HAS BEEN DECIMATED
BETWEEN SOME INJURIES AND NOW THE FLU
THERE ARE STARTERS MISSING EVERYWHERE
AND IT'S NOT CLEAR WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO

CLEVELAND'S RUNNING GAME IS A SHAMBLES
AND THEIR PASSING GAME IS JUST A MESS
WITH THE DEFENSE BEING SO UP IN THE AIR
WHO'LL BE PLAYING IS ANYBODY'S GUESS

THE PACKERS HAVE BROUGHT BACK AHMAN GREEN
AS WELL AS RESIGNING TAUSCHER THE OLD TACKLE
BUT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO MAKE SERIOUS REPAIRS
TED THOMPSON IS WORKING WITH DUCT TAPE AND SPACKLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE VIKINGS AND STEELERS WILL BOTH HAVE TO FOCUS
FOR TAKING EACH OTHER LIGHTLY WOULD BE REMISS
AND IF SOMEHOW THE BROWNS COULD WIN
TEDDY SHOULD BE THROWN HEADLONG INTO THE ABYSS....
