Week 10, Packers vs Vikings - Page 2

BloodBrother · 11-14-2011, 09:03 PM

At the very least he needs to chuck that out of bounds. Can't take the sack there...

good half, especially by the D!...but the OL seems to be regressing the last few weeks. They STUNK against SD and are not playing well so far tonight. Can't get anything going on offense much when they aren't giving Rodgers enough time

for christs sake, can they f*cking PICK UP Jared Allen already...

not to mention they still are splitting carries too much with Grant/Starks. It's pretty obvious that Starks is a better option now. I like Grant, great guy and great player here, but come on already

Dammitt Cobb, lets the Vikings right back into this game. Call fair catch or something, inexusable.

Okay, okay I forgive you! Shoving Allen on his ass then hurdling him there was awesome!

Love the way the defense has progressed tonight. Still work to do (wrap up tackling, more stout up front) but its played much better than the first half of the season.

Really suprised at how poorly the offensive line has played though. Particulary Sitton. He's getting pushed around alot this year. Newhouse is also showing that he's a work in progress. Kind of a bend don't break guy which is a far cry from Clifton.

Time to get Rodgers out of there?

Have to think so, get Flynn some action. Hell I'd put alot of the backups in like Sherrod, So'oto, Pat Lee, ect.

This would've been a great game for Davon House to be active too. Disapointed that he hasn't seen any action this season.

TimmG6376 · 11-14-2011, 10:14 PM

You know I love Cobb but seriously fair catch the ***** ball. The game is under control and risking unnecessary turnover/injury is just stupid.

BloodBrother · 11-14-2011, 10:45 PM

Besides the Cobb fumble....couldn't have asked for a better game. OL has struggled the last few games now, which has to be fixed. HATE seeing Rodgers take all those hits

with that said, this was a great game. They are starting a tough 3 games in 10 days stretch and they were able to rest their starters with 10 minutes left to go in the 4th. That's pretty big

Very encouraging game by the D. They were FINALLY getting consistent pressure and looking like last year's D. The talent has always been there...I hope this is a sign of things to come from them.

OL needs to pick it up, though. They seem to be regressing a bit. Struggled against SD and were subpar tonight. I do NOT want to see Rodgers take so many damn hits. The season lives and dies with his right arm...they need to f*cking do a better job, period. They are better than this and they know it

Woodson was a beast tonight. Nearly had 2 INT and should have had that last one for a pick 6(probably thinking TD there and dropped it)

fun, fun game tonight. Everything pretty much went right and blowing out a division rival NEVER gets old

cvv84 · 11-14-2011, 10:48 PM

See what happens when we move Clay around too, he gets pressure from all over the field and it opened things up for Bishop and Walden. Very happy to see him roaming the field tonight.

On another note, where has B.J. Raji been this year? Are his high snap counts tiring him out? Him and Pickett have been MIA this year. Nice to see C.J. Wilson getting some pressure though. Kind of suprised that he didn't progress from last year yet.

BloodBrother · 11-14-2011, 10:58 PM

Could be Raji slowing down...also could be that he isn't getting much help on the line this year

Things for the Pack to work on in practice this week...have Cobb field more punts. 2 fumbles on the year is inexcusable. He is easily the teams best returner but if he keeps coughing it up they'll pull him from that role. Come on, rook!

Lang, Wells, Sitton are all better than what they showed tonight. Hope they are working hard this week

on the plus side, lets give it up to Bulaga. He was awesome tonight and has been all year. Easily looks like we got out RT of the future

If we can slow down AP, make Ponder throw it, and do on O what we did last time, it wont even be close.

30-16 Packers win.

Good to see walden look decent

Matthews - bout time

Randall Cobb is electric

cvv84 · 11-15-2011, 08:43 AM

Just another thing here, Desmond Bishop is averaging nearly 10 tackles a game and is tied with Clay for the team lead in sacks.

Morgan Burnett is also 2nd on the team in tackles, on pace for over 100 this season.

Over the last 16 games (including playoffs), Jordy Nelson has 64 catches for 1124 yards and 10 touchdowns.

SuperPacker · 11-15-2011, 10:22 AM

Well that was easy! I didnt watch the game but from the sounds of it this was a pretty faultless day where the offense and defense both showed up. Maybe a turning point for the defense? Especially holding AP to 51 yards! I was shocked when i saw that.

Maybe a turning point, but let's remember that outside of AP that offense doesn't have a whole lot going on. And while Allen is playing possessed and the linebackers are solid their secondary is putrid. The Pack did what they are supposed to do against inferior teams.

I liked the energy in this game though. Seemed like there was more of a killer instinct going on. Too often it seems they get a lead and coast to a victory. Last night they kept the foot on the gas until the end.

princefielder28 · 11-15-2011, 01:04 PM

I was not too happy with the performance of the left side of our offensive line...Newhouse has been servicable as the starter at left tackle but I think this Sunday would be a good time to see what we have in Sherrod at this point.

J-Mike88 · 11-16-2011, 06:42 PM

I heard this today:
Rodgers last 20 games: 50 TDs, I think 7 or 8 Ints.

That's not bad.
