[Maybe I'm being biased, but if the Vikings are big time Super Bowl contenders, why aren't the Titans?

 

The only thing I can think of is that the Vikings are in the NFC and the Titans are in the AFC. But they're very similar teams.

 

That's one reason, but the Vikings also have maybe the best combined O and D lines in football.

I agree they're strong up front. I'm watching the secondary though, and it's not good. Terrible even, on some plays.

 

They also still aren't getting the pressure I would expect them to be able to get. If teams can toss the ball around because they can't defend it, they might project to be a solid WC team but no way would they make it to the Super Bowl.

How's that not a catch?

 

The real-time view looked extremely close...not sure if he had two feet down right away.

I forgot it doesn't matter if the feet are down. You have to maintain possession through your fall to the ground. Refs made the right call.

When did Maclin get drafted by the Packers? What a return!!!!

 

It really was sad how it took an ankle injury to Woodson on a punt return to finally have Blackmon get his chance on returns. He's a stud on returns and he showed it off there.

 

Two possession game. This should be a blowout, but I'll "settle" for an 11 point lead right now.

And now Jackson must throw. I don't think he can do it.

 

And Rodgers can coast with the run game.

 

 

 

Um, advantage Pack.

I think we'll see a pick or sack/fumble very soon.

 

Thought I had the prediction there...

That should have been the pick right there.

And the Titans aren't that far behind in either. Vanden Bosch and Haynesworth are comparable to Jared Allen and Pat Williams while Jevon Kearse (if healthy, granted) is better than Ray Edwards. The Tony Brown/Kevin Williams comparison favors Williams.

 

As for the offensive lines, I might take the Vikings', but not by that much. The Titans line actually allowed fewer sacks last year (30 v 38) and that's with Kerry Collins attempting 82 passes.

Rodgers looks pretty good. I'm impressed so far.

 

I'm starting to wonder when the big, bad, Super Bowl contender Vikings are going to show up. Because right now? Not seeing it, on either side of the ball.

 

I'm not entirely sure where they're significantly better than the Titans.

 

Both teams have excellent defenses (Vikings maybe a little better, but not much), both have great running games (AP is better than LenDale, but Chris Johnson may swing things a bit), both have mediocre receivers (save for Berrian, adv Minn) and both have huge questions at QB.

It's because they're in the NFC. I think you're comparison is pretty good though.

 

I'm still not understanding what Childress is seeing in Jackson.

 

I like Jackson, but he definitely has some huge question marks.

 

Vince is better, but they have similar questions.

eh, don't agree with going for two this early. now the pack gets just a fg and you're 8 down instead of 7.

It's a borderline situation (early 4th), but you have to think GB will probably score again so I think you just go for 1 and decide later on what you need.
