You're right, my bad. That's probably why it hasn't been mentioned yet xD. My apologies to Mr. Ellison.Crax wrote:That was ellison, not line
Y'all NEVER have anything good to say. 
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.MelanieMFunk wrote:How come I'm always the one who has to bring "The positives" back to life? Ahhh, because you're all "cynics".
ooops I mean Oh? You mean you are labeled and called names? Ruh roh! Not nice.Reignman wrote: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
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.

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.Mothman wrote:There was at least one positive in last night's Vikes/Giants debacle; Allen's awesome "reach around" sack.

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.Texas Vike wrote:
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.AADPFan wrote: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.
