The Minnesota Vikings will invade Lambeau Field Monday night.

We here at Lombardiave.com took some time to answer questions from Dan Zinski of The Viking Age.

While you can see Zinski’s answers to our questions here, you can also take some time to read what we had to say about Monday night’s match-up between the Packers and Vikings.

Take a look below:

TVA: The defense has to be a concern for everyone in Packerland right now, right? Or do you guys figure you can just outscore everyone the rest of the way?

LA: Well, for anyone who follows that Packers, yes, the defense is a huge concern. How can this team continue to rely so heavily on its offense to score 30-plus points the entire season? It can’t. One of these weeks, the offense is going to throw a stinker and the team will lose because of it.

I don’t know, maybe that’s the best thing for the Packers … maybe the defense needs a wake-up call. All we know is that the right combination hasn’t been dialed up as yet on the defensive side of the ball. Yes, they are an opportune bunch and have week-in, week-out come up with the big play … the fumble recovery, the interception, the stop. But we all know the clock is ticking on this unit and this team.

Does the defense let the team down this week? Or next at Detroit? Or the next at the N.Y. Giants? We don’t know, but it’s bound to happen unless they can return to somewhat of a semblance of what they were last year.

All I know, is that we don’t want that equation to catch up to the Packers in January.

As if the Vikings needed this news headed into tomorrow. Score this one Packers 1 Vikings 0.

According to Vikings defensive end Brian Robison, the Vikings are going to kick the crap out of the Packers twice this year and hopefully meet up with them again in the playoffs where they will do the same. Raymond T. Rivard photograph

So, just who the hell is Brian  Robison?

Well, Packers fans and especially the Packers players and coaches should take note of this yahoo.

The Vikings’ defensive end certainly sent a verbal volley across the Packers bow this afternoon on KFAN, a Minnesota radio station.

As reported on Fansided’s The Viking Age, Robison was asked about the Packers winning the Super Bowl and he said he was “glad” the Pack won, but for all the wrong reasons, of course.

Asked why he answered as he did, here is what he said: (more…)
