Vikings studs and Duds official

[rodell330]

Adams should’ve caught the ball..he feels like he doesn’t get the respect of a the top WRs like Julio Jones, OBJ or Antonio Brown but to be honest he’s not even on that level..he’s a solid solid wr but that is it.

Our safeties are trash. Idk how else to say it smh. Brice isn’t a starter at all. HAHA has gotten worst since his rookie year.

The oline isn’t that good...our guards are a major concern especially McCray

 

[Vikesfan]

You keep focusing on the time in the game that the penalty was called. If you want to play that game, we had two timeouts and 1:37 left to stop you . All I am saying is that they called it on us, why do you feel they shouldn't have called it on you? We can both agree that the rule (which became a focus because your organization complained about it) should be changed.

By the way, having the ball with 1:10 at the 47 instead of on your 42, changes a lot of what is called. Again, you are dismissing a major moment because it doesn't fit your argument.

 

[XPack]

We were the better team, albeit slightly...but without doubt.

That ridiculous call evened things up post facto.

We deserved the win.

 

[rmontro]

Rodgers finished with one TD. I think Favre would have found a way to force a few more TDs in there. Of course, he probably would have thrown a few picks too.

I have said both were bad. I just said one changed the outcome a lot more. Hard to argue that. The Packers moved into field goal range from the 25 with no timeouts and 30 seconds. I think they would have been fine from the 42 with 1 minute 32 seconds. That is 28 yards or so in 90 seconds. Not tough.

No one has argued the Kendricks call was good and that it didn't aid the Packers.

If it's any consolation, I didn't come away hands down impressed with Minnesota today. I thought there was a chance they might just physically dominate today and finish what the Bears couldn't, but they didn't. That's no excuse for not finishing the game which we didn't, but if the Vikings are the team to beat in the NFC, it's pretty wide open.

Completely agree. No dominant team right now.

 

[Poppa San]

Completely agree. No dominant team right now.

There rarely is any more in the first 2 weeks. ATM, Tampa looks to be unstoppable but who expects them to be there in December? Dominant teams establish themselves during weeks 5-12.

Very true. More true to say the returning playoff teams have shown vulnerabilities. I would say the Vikings defense that showed issues in the playoffs has shown issues again. Packers moved the ball well today. I know they scored via a sts play but the also had 6 other scoring drives. One was a short field but they also missed a fg so it is kind of a wash.

 

[Forget Favre]

I only got one dud.
The game itself.
I was actually starting to doze off and I have never done that for a Packers game before.

 

[CheckDown81]

and when he does that, we say he's too conservative. Adams could have caught that ball. Not going to bust his balls, it was tough, but he could have. and He probably does more often than not. Game over. Except it wasn't.

THIS! I saw it in the Shoutbox after Haha's pick. "Here comes the 3 run calls and FG. God MM is so predictable." I would rather have MM go for the killshot than to be conservative.

Here's the question I have, If MM had run the ball 3 times there and Minnesota had still scored a TD afterwards, what would people be saying right now?

 

[MassPackersFan]

Both of those were horrible calls. Game changers too early on. They missed the huge PI against Graham. Ok fine, they miss some. I'd prefer that over what they used to call anytime someone put a finger on someone. Then they come back and **** up the Adams play on a great throw and catch. 2 first downs for big yards taken away by refs. Even if we get zilch after that, it flips the field. Instead we're punting from the endzone giving MN the ball near midfield.

Don't forget the terrible holding call on Taylor that erased a Graham TD. The Vikings had their ***** saved by the refs on multiple calls.

 

[aristotle]

the biggest dud is mr conservative, Mike McCarthy. Why is he calling plays when Philbin is the OC?

[Firethorn1001]

Duds:

Rodgers

I can't even wrap my head around that.

 

[906Fan]

Duds: Rodgers wasting timeouts, not being able to finish a drive with a touchdown, 4th quarter defense.
Studs: Pretty much every group on the team had moments they shined. Ball catchers looking good and young cornerbacks.

You're full of crap. Clay hit him simultaneous with the release of the ball. That is NEVER a roughing penalty... until today. There was NOTHING like that called against the Viqueens.

 

[Vikesfan]

1st & 10 at GB 38
(1:37 - 2nd) (Shotgun) A.Rodgers pass incomplete deep left to J.Graham [E.Kendricks]. Penalty on MIN-E.Griffen, Defensive Offside, declined. PENALTY on MIN-E.Kendricks, Roughing the Passer, 15 yards, enforced at GB 38 - No Play.

I understood you are upset about the call but it was called evenly.

 

[bigbubbatd]

I love viking fans coming here to defend the officiating. Such a weird thing to do. I am sure if the Viking fans were in the same place as packer fans they would have thought the game was evenly reffed. I mean it is not like living in Minnesota I constantly hear how the NFL is rigged for the Packers and we get all the calls.

Here's the one I hear: "Their O-Line holds on every play. Every single one of them and the refs let them do it because it's the Packers."

I love when someone twists my words to create a strawman argument. I said the rule is horrible and needs to be changed. I still maintain that the refs called it on both sides. Im sure it stings but relax, you tied a game that most expected you to lose and your Qb remained healthy.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Most of my studs and duds were already named, so just going to throw this one out there:

Gute: Having Brice as your starting safety when Eric Reid is sitting out there unemployed is laughable. Most want to strictly point fingers at House for that long pass play, but Brice was standing in no mans land, giving him no help. Later on Diggs TD, Brice appeared to have a shot at him, but it looked like he launched his body at his own teammate. Maybe Brice has a future, but its not now. Fix it while you can Gute.
