NFL Week 4

[Flames24Rulz]

Yeah, that's a flag. My ass hurts.

 

lol, and another penalty on us. Why the [expletive] not? Seriously NFL, just give the damn ring to the Vikes if it's going to be this obvious.

 

Yeah and ignore that there was also an offsides on the Packers and the PI didn't matter.

 

Doesn't change the fact that the PI was a brutal, brutal, brutal call.

I also think Adrian's longest run was a brutal non holding call on sidney rice

Yep.

 

The refs were more balanced in the second half and they weren't the reason why we lost, so I'm not going to complain about it that much.

[ELCABALLO45]

Agreed, we win if Rodgers gets more then 2 seconds to throw the ball.

Great, it still wouldn't have mattered if they ate the flag.

[chuckywang]

I almost want to see us get into the Eric Berry sweepstakes at this point, so why not?

 

I doubt Berry will be the first pick in the draft.

 

Is he even that great of a prospect?

 

Absolutely. Berry is the best safety in the draft and fairly easily the best safety in the NCAA. He's a fantastic player on one of the best defenses in the league and he's a big part of our defensive success.

 

For what it's worth, Monte Kiffin said he'd take Berry with whatever pick he had, even #1.

 

How many safeties ever go no. 1?

[ELCABALLO45]

 

Great, it still wouldn't have mattered if they ate the flag.

 

Again, doesn't change the fact it was a terrible call. The refs were terrible tonight. It's not the reason why we lost but you expect better from the refs.

[hawkeyecub]

Anyways that win was all Favre and the d-line (or Packers o-line). Our coverage was the worst it's been in a long time. Bad gameplan early, the d came out blitzing and Rodgers was getting rid of it quickly to open receivers in man coverage. Luckily they adjusted and sat back in zone while the front four got pressure.

 

O-line was great in pass protection but couldn't get anything opened up in the running game. Plus Adrian got really impatient and was looking for the home run instead of taking what was there. Hopefully a lot of it was due to Hutch not being 100% tonight. Sullivan struggled in run blocking also.

 

Favre was a stud tonight. He was on the money all night even with the downfield throws. He still has a laser. Best part of his game was decision making and not forcing things. Really didn't come close to any picks other than Woodson's on the offsides/PI.

 

Our safeties still worry me and they had some breakdowns in the back end. Winfield is a stud. Keep Favre healthy. Better yet keep rolling and then have him go down for a month's worth of rest to come back fresh for the playoffs.

[hawkeyecub]

Again, doesn't change the fact it was a terrible call. The refs were terrible tonight. It's not the reason why we lost but you expect better from the refs.

 

Well they're often terrible.

 

Plus you guys had 10+ years of Favre treatment from officials. Come on. It's the same with Packers fans complaining about the verbal fellatio.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota is the best team in the NFC North, and right now it’s not close.

 

That’s where I stand after seeing all four division teams play this week. Chicago has played decently since its opening-week loss at Green Bay. But no one has beaten anyone from a physical standpoint as much as the Vikings defeated the Packers on Monday.

 

Let me correct that. The Vikings didn’t just beat the Packers. They beat ‘em up.

We should've traded him in the offseason.

It's not close right now, but it wasn't close in 2003 when the Vikes started out 6-0 either. We all know what happened then too.

 

I'll give credit where credit is due. You guys have a damn good team right now. The Vikings strengths played to the Packers weaknesses and that was obviously the difference in the game.

LOL Wht?

 

Has 28 tackles through 4 games.

 

On pace for 112. Not amazing but hardley "irrelevant"

1 tackle for loss and 1 sack.

 

I think I'd rather have Jared Allen with his hand on the ground rushing the passer than dropping into coverage a good percentage of the time and making tackles 5 yards down the field.

Its his 4th game as a OLB. I would rather have Jared Allen period.

Of course. When you're counting on a 40 year old QB who has worn down at the end of recent years it's always precarious. And I'm still worried about the safeties. I'm not counting on anything at this point.

 

They should get to 5-0 next week and then we'll learn a lot more about them after the following 3 games prior to the bye week.

He was invisible out there today, like he has been most of the year.

You know the Packers better than I do, but he was your impact guy in the front. He had 39 sacks the last 3 years. He has 1 tackle for loss in 4 games in his new spot and simply doesn't look comfortable.

 

He was an impact player as a 4-3 DE. Granted it's early in the transition but he looks like just another guy as a 3-4 standup OLB.

The problem is we have a lot of 'guys' in our defense, especially our LB's. Kampman, Hawk, Barnett, and Chillar are all guys that really don't step up and make the big play. That play by Matthews today was huge and I really think he's going to be the guy to point at on this defense for the next few years to come.

If they are going to make him an OLB mineaswell make him practically a pure pass rushing one. You can move him around like a LB but have him rush a large majority of the time. He probably wouldn't get as many sacks as he has gotten in years past but the defense would probably be better off than it is currently as well as better than in recent years.

[Keener98]

Mineaswell? WTF is that?

And people wonder why journalism is a dying industry.

[SouthSideRyan]

Bum saw everyone rip on him for using "mine as well" in the past. That's why he got rid of the stupid spaces.

[SpongeWorthy]

Yeah, Kampmann is totally out of position.
