I cant stand Mathews...I dont know if u hate him because hes good, or just because hes a Packer, but I wouldnt you know what if he was on fire.

Yep:

No idea why he fell that far, he was late first/mid 2nd by a good amount of scouts. I guess his height scared people off.

Robinson already looks better then Cook, and apparently the coaches think so too. A rookie playing Megatron?

Simpson definitely had an impact on our offense (yes I know we had a slow day at the office). I think going forward having a receiver, a RB, a QB thats becoming decent, and an amazing Utility player coming together and gelling will open things up (or at least I hope it does). I'm still curious why we didn't target Rudy in the middle or did I miss those plays? seems like if Adrian could get runs up the middle there were some soft spots there for the taking.

Overall though, good defense, spectacular special team play, with work to do on offense. Still a win is a win! Heres to a great week for everyone! Cheers!

offense looked very anemic, shakey. any negative adjective will do. nice win however. never easy.

still cant stand watching packer games.

The Vikings have Tennesee and Washington coming up, which I think are both Winnable games. Then have Arizona, Tampa and Detroit again at home, while traveling to Seattle. This team could realistically be 7-3 at the bye, WOW.

He played great today and looks very promising, I just don't see him shutting down Green in that video. He basically gives Green a huge cushion and Green makes a bunch of catches underneath. It's not like Green had no receptions or Robinson was grabbing picks.

I think that has less to do with Cook and more to do with the Vikings not moving CB's around. When Calvin Johnson was in the slot Winfield played him, when he was on Cook's side of the field, Cook played him. I don't think it has anything to do with who the coaches "think" is better.

Anyone see that Packer drive. Thats what a real QB looks like.

Somebody has to fill in for Madden...

Mothman wrote:Those two PI calls on downfield throws to Simpson don't show up in the passing yardage totals but they were big plays that came out of the passing game.

The second one was a bad call. Even the first was questionable. Simpson is a major league flopper. I suppose that's how they coach it in today's game, but it doesn't do much for me.
