The entire world new that in order for the Vikings to have a chance to pull the upset that AP would have to have a monster game and of course he does. In two meetings this guy is averaging over 200 yards rushing the ball against us!
200!!!! you mean to tell me "prefessional" defenders who get paid to tackle can't key in on one guy and hold him under 200 yards? when you know he's going to get the ball?
Yes AP is a beast and is going to get his yards but giving up 400 + yards rushing to a DIVISION foe who we "know" so well is sickening. Looking at the game film the tackling angles that i see some of the guy's take, not staying home, the over persueing, arm tackling, some making no effort to even try to tackle, and lack of gang tackling is horrendous. Look if you are going to get ran over you mise well get ran over and get the guy to the ground geeze...diving for his legs and missing or trying to grab him by the arm is not going to work. I have ZERO FAITH this team can beat a team like san francisco, Seattle, or even Washington because they just cannot tackle and those teams like to run the ball and can keep #12 on the sidelines. Call it what you want to but this has got to be one of the poorest tackling teams in football.
Sometimes it just comes down to pride man..as a group of men you have to be like we cannot let one guy embarass our entire unit. So much was at stake yesterday and they found a way to **** away a week off, and having homefield advantage smh. Is this a SB team? no it is not and i don't care who likes it. Call me negative or whatever you like but i'm one of the biggest Packer fans and supporters here but i'm also a realist to. The defense once again is going to be the downfall of this team unless they start taking stopping people more seriously and stop depending on the offense to bail them out so much. If AP rushes for over 200 yds next Saturday and Ponder does not throw gift ints then we will be 1 and done..again. Mark my words.
