play flat out wide open for 60 minutes
The defense must make a stand.
They have to stop the big play.

Pivots straight 90 degrees before freight train run.
The only way to consistently get him down is to knock him off his pins by going low. Way too many guys last Sunday were making "business decision" tackles by going at his shoulders so they wouldn't get hurt. That's just asking for a 10-yard free ride from #28.
I think you guys have misunderstood who OSH is referring too.

I'm hoping for the same sort of D domination we had in a previous wild card playoff game against one Barry Sanders
She don't look so tough.
We have to make him cut when still behind the line of scrimmage. If he get 5 yards running start before he cuts, we are in trouble. Run blitz him like we did vs. Houston? Although if he breaks the line of scrimmage vs. blitz we are sucseptable to the big play. Play some "Big Oakie" formation with 5 LBers?
5 linebackers. Which guys do you have in mind?
It's pretty simple....
Get them in 3rd & long situations & they bring AP off the field.
I'm not even worried about anything. The Packers have no excuse. Time to go to work.

The real key is get them in those 3rd and longs and get them off the field....unlike last week
Get the lead.
His TD's take longer than ours.

Yep, those slow starts are playing to the Queens' strengths.
Great discipline shown by our defense last night.....great gap control. when AP got to the line of scrimmage he had to stop because there were no gaps to run through....no full speed cuts really limited him. Great job by our defense!
He had 39 yards the first half, at one point 19 carries for 69 yards in the 4th qrt, that's what I call shutting him down, compared to what Adrian normally gets.
ESPN announcers just said it wasn't as close as the score indicated. 239 yards and 17 points at the half for GB. The last quarter and a half they had the offense of low gear.
Woodson was a factor, as everyone hoped. 49ners are a different beast, but it should be fun.
Vikes had a nice year and with a WR and LB added next year, I expect them back near the playoff bubble. You have to love a player like AP, he's a rare player.

And the Vikings rubes are all on the Peterson for MVP train right now yet can't come up with a good argument why.
"Second most rushing yards in history". So? Chris Johnson didn't win it, neither did Dickerson when he became #1.
"He took a 3-win team to the playoffs" Andrew Luck, as a rookie, took a 2-win team just as far.
Peterson's lucky these simps aren't the ones making his case.

Makes you wonder how the Vikings missed the playoffs the last 2 seasons with such a valuable player like Adrian on the team. When was the last time a Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady led team missed the playoffs?
I don't think year-to-year performance should have any baring on the MVP vote for a given season. If Mark Sanchez proves to be the best player in football next year, he gets the MVP.
The arguments I least like but seem to be thrown around the most are Peyton's and Peterson's success after overcoming injury. That's what the Comeback award is for. As amazing as both comebacks are, not a thing they did on the field this year was more important to his team's success than any other player's based on the past injury.
I don't really have a problem with either guy getting it, and that's a good thing since it seems inevitable. From what I've watched this year, I'd have a hard time saying I watched a better football player than Adrian Peterson.

I wouldn't have a problem with it either, but the rubes aren't making a strong case for it.
The MVP race should come down to AP, Manning, Brady, or Watt. They were clearly the best players this year. Might even have to include Matt Ryan.
what about Aaron Rodgers?
identical, if not better, numbers as Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Matt Ryan.

Should be Manning, Rodgers and AP.....those are your best players. Watt should be D player of the year.
I think that's what I can't quite get behind with Peyton. He didn't really outplay other QBs to the degree that AP did any running back in football.
But did Peterson even outplay every other back by that much? Look at his line (pretty good with Kalil, Loadholt and Sullivan as anchors and Fusco and Johnson are solid run blockers) vs. Lynch's (They have Breno starting at RT even). Foster has never had that top gear Peterson has but is extremely tough and productive while getting to the endzone more often than Peterson. CJ Spiller had teh same YPC as Peterson, but they kept him fresh with Jackson (when healthy). It's a remarkable story with the comeback but just how much difference is their amonsgt the elite players?
In order, Andre Johnson, Matt Schaub, Russell Wilson, Owen Daniels, Sidney Rice, Golden Tate, Russell Okung.
AP has Christian Ponder and a moody pothead. Seattle and Houston have other threats a D has to pay attention to. Spiller would break apart into small pieces if he was asked to carry the ball 350 times.
Lynch and Foster are very good. But AP outplayed both of them.

Yes.
AP was the most valuable player in the NFL this season.
No shame in saying that.

Leslie Frazier on Ponder: "We’re excited about his progress. He was great" Translation: "You see what we have playing behind him?"
