The positives

[Reignman]

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, and I'm not trying to imply Line is as good as Felton, but damn did you see his lead block on AD's 4th down run? Wow did he cream Conte. Cream of Conte, it's not just for breakfast anymore.

That was ellison, not line

You're right, my bad. That's probably why it hasn't been mentioned yet xD. My apologies to Mr. Ellison.

These guys:




Oh heck! Our other guy too, if it's in this order!




How come I'm always the one who has to bring "The positives" back to life? Ahhh, because you're all "cynics". Y'all NEVER have anything good to say.

Looking forward to some more W's! Hopefully one of these dudes can get us on a winning streak! I'm ready.

Oh I don't know about that, this "doomsday boy" or "naysayer" or "cynic" ... oh man I forget which category I'm in now, has brought this topic back to life a couple of times too xD.

Now that I think of it, I don't know why I come here anymore, I'm called so many names. The board used to be so much better when I was simply referred to as a negative nancy ooops I mean

Oh? You mean you are labeled and called names? Ruh roh! Not nice. Put me in the "Vikings apologist" category, because it fits me most accurately. Go ahead, call me that. I won't even cry about it or threaten to never come back. I'm tough like that.

But, in all seriousness, I really think our offense is going to start looking better and we are going to start winning some more games. Personally, I think we should be 3-1 right now. It sucks that we aren't, but we can't go back--only forward! I'm excited to see what Freeman can do, too. I really hope he gives our offense a spark with his size, mobility, big arm--and that newly formed chip on his shoulder.

There was at least one positive in last night's Vikes/Giants debacle; Allen's awesome "reach around" sack. I've been watching football for a long time and I've never seen anything quite like that. It had me laughing out loud. Great play...

I agree. I laughed a lot last night, but that was the only "good laugh" I had....

Some of the commercials got good reviews.

That was by far the best play of the night. Allen was solid last night and that play illustrated the kind of determination he played w/ during the whole game.

I'd vote for a different name for that play though! "Reach around" is, well, ... awkward. Read more, if you dare! http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... h%20around (not safe for work)

I know... I just couldn't think of a better way to describe what happened. Please, help me out! That shouldn't go down in history as the "reach around sack".
It just sounds awful.

That's even better. Knowing how Allen is, I think he'd love it if that's how it "goes down" in history. Fitting for a guy who wears #69.

I didnt read the thread, so not sure if this has been discussed yet, but i am suprised that more people are not clammering about this.

But my big positive was watching Josh Freemans pocket presence, and his poise under pressure behind our porous O-line, he was contantly looking down field when on the move, thats a lot more than can be said about Ponder. Many of his passes were not even close, however a lot of them were right on target but a bit to high (and a bit to hard). I beleive that given some time to practice together Freeman and our receivers can get on the same page and perform. Even after last night i still beleive that Freeman has bigger up side than our other QBs.

It was spoken about in the game thread, and I agree, he has the best pocket presence of all three QBs. If he could get some semblance of accuracy, I think we'd have a gem. Cassel is more accurate with his passing. You know Freeman is bad when you can make an argument that Ponder is more accurate.
