That sucks. Favre had at least some connection with him.

[neko4]

So Jennings going to be a game time decision?

[ImBrotherCain]

Ive seen the last to games, but i havent heard much on Bigby but he has 9 tackles and i haven't seen him get beat deep. How is he looking, is he like the next big thing on this defense? Who is his best comparison to another player?

[Sportsfan486]

2-0, very nice offensive game compared to the Eagles game. Defense didn't play AS well but they still kept the opponent to 13 points and you really can't complain about that.

Does anyone else line in MN here. Cuz 90% of the time the pack are on when MN isn't and today they had damn bull riding on Fox instead of the game.

[Boston]

Yeah, I'm liking the way the "future" of the Vikings is looking.

[GB12]

Great, now the Chargers are going to be pissed for next week.

I like the way McCarthy saw a prolem with the offense in the Philly game and then came back the next game against the Giants with 35 points. He did the same thing in preseason this year. Of coarse the giants defense isnt as good as the eagles, but still he is showing the ability to make crucial adjustments.
Im impressed, not bad for a young coach.

[johbur]

Nice game plan. DD and JJ were the only WRs to get balls, other than that it was the TEs and RBs, right? A lot of guys made some nice lays to break tackles and get into the open field. I was especially impressed in that two O-linemen went out and they were still putting up points in Q4. Nice game. With Holliday out, I really hope that Goodell makes his decision on Koren Robinson sooner than later. The offense would look a lot better with him in and with Jennings back from injury.

Burress beat Bigby on a TD

[Nitschke-Hawk]

Barely though. Bigby's hand was about an inch away from deflecting that ball. And Harris of all people was the one who let the situation occur anyway. That was a play by Burress that hardly anyone could stop, he was in a crowd of 3 or 4 guys, really an excellent play by Manning and Burress. Hell Manuel probably wouldn't have been close. But he did only have 2 catches for 32 yards and a TD. Shockey is what bothered me.

He came out strong, but we did a good job of shutting him down in the second half.

With both of green bays victories comming against 0-2 teams its kind of hard to evaluate how good green bay is. It kind of sucks that philly lost.

Well, they were both playoff teams last year and at least mostly healthy for our games, so that's definitely a good sign for us. Plus both of their other losses came to 2-0 teams in their division, which is always a tough game.

The Chargers game will tell us a lot. If we pull out a victory.. that will be amazing for us.

[Nitschke-Hawk]

I liked how hard the defense is hitting this year, I especially noticed it on Shockey. They really put some hard hits on him when he caught it and you could tell he was feeling it. If somebody catches a ball on you it's a good idea to hit them hard and try to get in their head a little bit or effect how they play the rest of the game.

I like the optimism but I'm not so sure. I think that with the kind of run defense that they have that Favre will have to have at least a game as good as his last because I don't think we will be able to get anything going in the ground game. And for the Chargers offense, they are inevitably due for a big game soon so this may just end up being what brings them back to the level of play that they are capable of.

What exactly is wrong with Harrell?

Nothing. Our other DTs are preforming very well therefore keeping Harrell inactive. Pickett, Jolly, Williams, and Cole are all ahead of him with Jenkins also playing some tackle at times. Keeping five DTs active is excessive so they'd rather use the spot at another position.

So, are you therefore dissapointed with the pick?

Looking back now yes it probably could have been used better. I fully supported it on draft day and even leading up to the draft I wanted a DT. No one knew that we would be this good at DT though. One of our key players there, Cullen Jenkins, was moved to DE at the end of the season and and it was a bit uncertain how much we could rely on just Corey Williams and Colin Cole. Then Johnny Jolly comes from the bottom of the depth chart and plays extremely well to take the starting job. Also from what I understand Harrell is still not 100% yet from that torn bicep. Now after the season Williams is a free agent so it'll be interesting to see what happens there. As of now I'm not dissapointed, but we'll have to come back to this next year.
