Packers @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 8

Good job Brandon Fusco!!! You are simply the best!!!

[Demi]

No one on defense looks good right now. Not one. So either we managed to pick up 11 busts or it's the scheme. I'll leave it up to someone else to figure out the probability of each option.

We have 8 bums. And three old #### past their prime almost bums......

[Hunter Morrow]

And this is why the cover 2 has to go. You simply can't just rush 4 guys against a mobile QB anymore. Your Ends get pushed up the field, the DT's get locked up and then the QB can rush for 200 yards a game if he really wanted to. Same thing with the soft coverage, the same run 5 yards out, come back 2 for the 3rd and 3 pick up gets you the first down over and over.

At some point you have to try to jump a route on that one!

Cover 2 just doesn't work now. Not with tight ends and the quarterback play of the modern era. It is just done.

The only two teams that run it are the Bears and the Vikings and both of 'em have terrible pass D.

Has Peterson broken one since the first carry of the season against Detroit?

[Demi]

Not even worth watching with that piece of TRASH playing quarterback.

[tmscr]

How about a sense of urgency here offense?

ha, the defense needs all the time they can get on the sideline.

ponder holds it for 5 seconds and gets sacked. this guy is just not good.

Right. You blitz and then nelson takes it 70+ yards for a TD or you man up and the packers beat you anyway (as they were doing in the first quarter).

There is no scheme that will rush the passer, tackle and cover for you.

These players are playing like ####.

[soflavike]

Ponder, you are a useless tackling dummy.

[HardcoreVikesFan]

LMAO our guards suck so hard.

[Just Me]

Three and out (again)

[Laserman]

3 and out. VIKINGS SUCK A##

[S197]

Are you watching this? It's NOT the scheme. These guys are getting outplayed.

They're clearly getting outplayed but it's more than that. The announcers have said it multiple times, you can't rush four and sit in a shell and expect magic.

[Lash Man]

Tough times for Vikings fans

[Hunter Morrow]

Why the infatuation with him? I still stand by Cassel being our best chance. He's gotten our only win and had the
best play in a game of any QB. Why did we just throw him away?

[soflavike]

Somebody needs to tell Ponder he has a concussion.
