Patriots @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 2

[Purple Reign]

Can someone who knows more than me please explain how that is PI on Jennings? Pick?

Yes, they called it an illegal pick which is technically offensive PI.

[Crax]

That #### call really screwed us there. Maybe the league will give us another unhelpful apology later

[yezzir]

Three bad passes that series, CP was wide open. TEDDY TEDDY!!

Teddy won't play unless Cassel gets hurt.

[Hunter Morrow]

I don't see how our first two great outings can go to crap so quickly.

No doubt. Mayo actually hit Jennings with his shoulder. Even if they don't call that on Mayo because it's within 5 yards, it's certainly not a penalty on Jennings.

Viking cant do anything right. Pats are playing like they are at home. Kalil is stinking up the place, just like last year. Guess he has another injury.

[Orion]

Yeah, throw the rookie in to face Belichick's defense. Great idea.

2 picks, overthrown passes. Cassel is awful, but hey, let's keep him in.

[Purple Reign]

Except for their field goal, they haven't had a significant drive that didn't come off a turnover (including the blocked kick).

And your point being ???? Only stat that matters is score.

[admvp]

Cassel's like, a Christian Ponder but not afraid to throw.

That's funny right there

[Canuck]

Teddy won't play unless Cassel gets hurt.

Is that why Kalil isnt blocking anyone

[APRunsAD]

The game, IMO, is much closer than the score indicates. The long int return and the blocked FG returned for a TD masks a pretty competent game so far for the Vikings. It's 24-7, but it feels like a pretty good 24-7 given we are playing the Pats and given the incompetent play the past few years. Meh, I'll take it despite the score.

Andrew Krammer @Andrew_Krammer

As soon as it looked like Cassel was back on track, he whiffs on open pass to Patterson and FG blocked. #Patriots lead 24-7, pending PAT

[petev_sj]

I agree with coach Zimmer. Quit hurting yourself with mistakes and they will be alright

I still think the Vikings pull this one out in the end.

[Purple Reign]

First 2 great outings? We've only had 1 game so far, what is the other great outing?

[mmvikes]

20-0 shutout in the second half and we all go to work happy tomorrow
