I recently sat down with Ray Rivard from the popular Packers blog Lombardi Ave. I asked Ray 5 Questions about the upcoming Vikings/Packers tilt and this is what he had to say:

Clint: What will it take to slow down the Packers? Is it even possible?

Ray: The only way to slow down the Packers’ offense is to first shut down the run and then put pressure on Aaron Rodgers. With Jared Allen and Brian Robison combining for 14 sacks already this season, it would appear that the Vikings have the tools to control the edges. Throw in the fact that the Packers lost left tackle Chad Clifton last week and have an inexperienced player, Marshall Newhouse, playing in his place, and it could make for some dicey situations.

, a top shelf Bears’ blog, five questions about his favorite squad. This is a little TVA installment we like to call 5 Questions. Enjoy!

Clint: What is the vibe in Chicago on Jay Cutler? Is it fair to say he just is not developing into the QB they thought they traded for?


Mike: The funny thing about Cutler is that people actually kind of feel sorry for him.  Whether it’s a lack of wide receivers or getting bounced around like a pinball every week or the cooky Mike Martz playcalling, Cutler just can’t get it going.  I think he’s by far the most talented quarterback the Bears have had since the days of leather helmets, but it’s now up to the coaches and management to put him in a position to succeed and they haven’t done it.

Clint: Are you guys participating in the “Suck for Luck” movement?

Patrick: AA has a very large staff. Some of the guys are on the Suck for Luck bandwagon. Others, like me, just can’t bring themselves to do it. Going 1-1 or 2-14 can cause a lot of other problems for an organization that I am not sure the Chiefs want. Still, I recognize that this team needs a franchise QB. I will always cheer for the Chiefs to win on Sunday but if they somehow ended up with Andrew Luck, I wouldn’t complain either. Things will play out as they will play out.

Clint: Chiefs. 0-3. Obviously the direction of the team and conversation changes now as the playoffs are a remote possibility. What would you like to see the Chiefs do from here on out? Are there personnel moves you would like to see due to the 0-3 start?
