THE VIKINGS HAVE HAD A WEEK TO RELAX
HAVE THEY RE-EVALUATED AS WELL?
MAYBE THE ANSWERS WILL HAVE COME TO CHILDRESS
IT SEEMS THAT ONLY TIME WILL TELL
THERE HAS TO BE A WAY FOR THEM
TO MOVE THE BALL WITH CONSISTENCY
IF BOTH BACKS WERE ON THE FIELD AT ONCE
THAT COMBINATION MIGHT JUST HOLD THE KEY
THE QUARTERBACKS HOWEVER ARE JUST A MESS
WITH THE ROSTER HOLDING NO TRUE STARS AT ALL
ALTHOUGH THAT'S NOT REALLY MUCH OF A PROBLEM
FOR THERE'S NO ONE WHO CAN REALLY CATCH THE BALL
THE DEFENSE HAS PICKED UP YET AGAIN
FROM WHERE THEY WERE WHEN LAST SEASON ENDED
PRETTY MUCH UNABLE TO STOP THE PASS
WHILE THE RUNNING GAMES ARE WELL DEFENDED
THE CHICAGO BEARS ARE LYING IN WAIT
AS THE VIKINGS HEAD OFF TO SOLDIER FIELD
COMING OFF AN EMOTIONAL VICTORY IN GREEN BAY
WHERE THEY WERE JUST GOOD ENOUGH TO CLOSE THE DEAL
THE BEARS HAVE BEEN IN HIBERNATION
UNTIL LAST WEEK'S WIN JOLTED THEM AWAKE
BUT IF THEY THINK THE VIKES WILL LAY DOWN AND DIE
THAT WOULD BE A FOOLISH AND TRAGIC MISTAKE
WHILE PLAYING THE BEARS LAST SUNDAY NIGHT
THE PACKERS' TEAM FINALLY HIT THE WALL
WATCHING THEIR UNBEATEN RECORD SLIP AWAY
LIKE THE OFTEN-TURNED OVER FOOTBALL
TURNOVERS, PENALTIES AND NO RUNNING GAME
ALL CONTRIBUTED TO THE UNDOING OF GREEN BAY
NOT TO MENTION AN OVERRATED DEFENSE
WHO COULDN'T STOP CHICAGO OR THEIR BIG PLAYS
THIS WEEK IT'S THE 'SKINS WHO COME TO VISIT
BRINGING A RECORD MUCH LIKE THE PACKERS' OWN
THE RUNNING GAME THERE IS PRODUCTIVE
AND THEIR DEFENSIVE TALENTS ARE WELL-KNOWN
JASON CAMPBELL IS ANOTHER SOUTHERN BOY
WHO CAN REALLY DROP BACK AND THROW THE BALL
WHILE CLINTON PORTIS LOVES TO SCURRY DOWNFIELD
IF IT'S NOT THE RECEIVERS GETTING THE CALL
GREEN BAY WILL HAVE TO PLAY FLAWLESSLY
FOR THE 'SKINS 'D' WILL PROVIDE A STIFF TEST
LET'S HOPE THEY DON'T OBSESS ON THE RUNNING GAME
AND JUST LET BRETT DO WHAT HE DOES BEST
THE BEARS AND VIKINGS WILL SLUG IT OUT
WITH CHICAGO'S RECORD MOVING TO THREE AND THREE
WHILE THE REDSKINS' JOURNEY TO WISCONSIN
WILL LEAVE THEM FRUSTRATED AS CAN BE
