Viking stud n dud

Somebody's social media life is going to take a sharp rise. Minor celebrity status for the week. Here's to her 15 minutes.

She will probably be next months Playboy centerfold.

It has been seeming like EVERY second haldf has bee garbage tome. The other teams all of a sudden look unstoppable in the forth quarter. Heck we made friggging Sam Bradforfd look darned good this week. What other team in the last four weeks has done that?

They should just hide the scoreboard from the players and coaches and tell them to play like it's 0-0 for the entire game.

Raptorman is just blowing-off some steam. Hey, they started 5-0 and then his team did the unthinkable. Once again that team has frustrated its fans. Maybe Raptorman is pissed at his team but taking it out on us. He'll get over it. It's just a game.

We all know that !

Not all of us, apparently, based upon the posts.

Nick Perry deserves a little love too for playing a solid game with one hand.

 

[JK64]

Yes, but he had to jump to get it and came down unbalanced and fell.

Jumping, isn't that part of the job description of a receiver in the NFL?

 

[JK64]

Clark- Most under appreciated draft pick in a while had another good game.

Kenny Clahk as the say here on the east coast is gonna be a good one.

Yes, but holding on to the ball while falling to the ground is not an easy catch. I do admit he dropped two easy TD's in the Bears game. Even Jordy drops passes, but no one blasts him for it. Does Davante deserve special criticism for some reason ?

The last board I was on had a real nasty Viking troll. He was kicked off, reinstated and kicked off again permanently. He got his jollies knocking the Packers and Packer fans personally.

I didn't expect my team to win, I expected the Packers to beat them. Soundly. The fact that the Vikings scored as many points as they did and had as many offensive yards should worry Packer fans. We have not had the best offense this year due to injuries. And if the Packer make it to the playoffs, IF the defense doesn't make some changes, you will be one and done. Rodgers cannot carry this team through the playoffs.

So I guess we need to hope the Packers are only up by 3 points throughout the second half rather than 3 scores. That way they won't go into garbage time mode and give up so many yards and points. When you are up by 15 at the half I'll take being outscored by 2 in the second half any time. Like I said, yards and point in garbage time don't really matter to me and after Rodgers matched Theilen's TD at the end of the first half I never had any doubts we would win this game handily and we did.

So apparently we are not allowed to respond because he is frustrated? Pretty sure most of us have been frustrated by the Packers too, but we still expect to be challenged when we make inflammatory statements.

I never said anyone was not allowed to respond back to Raptorman.

 

[PackAttack12]

Never. I said before the game, I expected the Packers to blow them out. They didn't. You may see it different. But the fact remains the Packers D did not stop the Vikings offense in the first half. Vikings offense had almost as many yards in the first half as they do most games. That's not good D on the Packers part. That won't suffice in the playoffs. Now, anything can happen in the playoffs. But my bet is that if the Packer make it, they will be playing better teams than the Vikings.

You mean like the Seahawks?

Bottom line is this. We have scored more points than our opponent in the past 5 games. And if we do it for 5 more games, we're champions. And I'll gladly accept having the opportunity to do so, as opposed to the alternative.

Regardless of yards or what have you, the only thing I care about is points. Our defense gave up just 13 when it was a game. I'll gladly accept that against anyone with the way that our quarterback is playing right now.

All the moderators will testify that Raptorman is not one of those types of people. He come here for intelligent conversation, and does not get into personal insults. He`s been around for years.

Really don't see the problem with Schum. Vikings are a top 10 punt return unit with two taken back for TD's for the season. His job was to minimize that. He had 6 punts averaging 43+ yards and held the Vikings to 2 returns for 20 yards. Only the first short punt was a touchback. The last one was the only one with any decent return.

This is not based off one game good sir.

 

[rodell330]

Dud. Packers Defense. Other than the one forced fumble. 475 yards from an offense with a makeshift line.

Last two weeks.

924 yards
52 points

Against a 2nd string QB and a team with a makeshift O-line playing 3rd stringers.

If they play like this in the playoffs, they will be one and done.

As much as I hate to agree with this (and a Vikings fan) I have eyes and I trust my eyes. This is a bad secondary. I pray to God the pass rush just goes crazy over the next few weeks, or else we are toast in the playoffs. That's If we get in of course. Stafford isn't Bradford, and the Lions have a better overall team than the Lions. This is a concern even if we want to agree with RAPTORMAN OR NOT.

It isn't that the secondary isn't a concern. Any fool knows it is. The issue was after his team got devised he came over and trashed the secondary that gave up 13 points that mattered. In a stud and dud thread he didn't reference anything about the Packers looking really good. Just my thoughts please don't respond to this part bc I dont want to turn it into a me vs raptor thing. People like his post and more power to them. I put him on ignore bc it is best for the board

To your point the secondary does need to play better. We can't have wrs continue to have career games against us. One nice thing is we have held Seattle and the Giants in check already. The other teams potentially in not so much.

In that case you should realize that he has been. Pretty good punter for the Packers this season.

He had 6 punts averaging 43+ yards and held the Vikings to 2 returns for 20 yards. Only the first short punt was a touchback. The last one was the only one with any decent return.

Maybe my view of Schum is tainted due to that fact that ANYONE most likely would have been an upgrade over Masthay. I admit to also thinking TT messed up by signing Schum, basing it solely on him being cut by Tampa Bay and so so stats. I am glad I was wrong. While Schum isn't a top 5 punter, he is so much better then what we had and now see no reason to do anything next year but bring in an UDFA to create competition.

BTW, that first punt of Schum's for a touchback yesterday could have and should have been downed really close to the goal line, but Janis lost track of it and fell for the Vikings return man's fake fair catch. That wasn't the first beautiful punt by Schum that was messed up by Janis and the return unit.

Unthinkable??????? Certainly I'm not the only person here who had it cross their mind when the Vikings were 5-0 and were the toast of the NFL , that this is very potentially an 8-8 team at the end of December. I mean, they are the Vikings, this is what they do.

Come on, admit it. You were thinking the same thing, right???

Hottest Line Judge I've ever seen

DUD: Myself, for opening the flood gates for .......that! LOL

 

[sschind]

How many points did the Packers give up in fourth quarters this year, a BUNCH, whether close game or not.. The defense just does not seem to have a killer instinct when ahead.

For the most part I believe the discussion was about the vikings game and maybe the Bears last week and not the entire season but I can't recall many games where the Packers were up by a lot in the 4th quarter this year. I know points are points on the scoreboard but when you give them up and how many you have in relation at the time makes a big difference to me. Giving up a bunch of points when you are down or the game is close is different than giving up points when you are up big. Its no secret that teams play differently when they are up big and it is no indication of what you can expect at other times. I'm not saying the Packers D is awesome but they were one half of a 25 point lead with about 6 minutes to play in the game. The fact that they gave up 12 more in those 6 minutes does not really concern me.

I guess as a fan of another team when I put forth my points on the "Studs and Duds" thread I should refrain from the Duds part. Because apparently that's "trashing" the Packers.

Studette: Sarah Thomas, The Line Judge who took a pretty hard hit. She wanted to stay in the game, but they dragged her into the locker room, taped her up and she finished the game!

I have a fantasy that starts like this.
