The league wouldn't say for which play Griffen was fined, though, and tape suggests it might not have been the hit that drew a 15-yard penalty from referee Ed Hochuli.

That call came in the second quarter and wiped out what would have been a pivotal interception for Vikings end Jared Allen. Coach Leslie Frazier said officials told him Griffen had hit Rodgers in the neck area, which replays showed wasn't the case.

Griffen also appeared to hit Rodgers late and to the head area on a play in the first quarter. No flag was thrown.

Not even Troy, who I cant stand doing games. Hes a Cowboy homer who knows less about announcing football then Buck if thats possible. No, none of our receivers are going to be wide open all the time like AD was. But there is seperation for a QB to fit one in. Just cause we dont have elite WRs doesnt mean Ponder cant complete some passes to all of them. And do you really trust Spielman picking others? He knows less about it then we do. I saw Rg3 and Luck fit some passes into covered guys. Even Batch. This is not a WR problem. Its a QB and OC problem. We have AD for crying out loud. just because Troy says theres no seperation doesnt make it so.
