Love the poster who stated Woodson holds a lot and RARELY gets called. Wasn't he the most penalized in recent years? My second favorite post is the fan who feels the Vikes are harshly penalized more than any other team. Afterall he watches every game on TV. Just wow!
That is a ****ing pathetic thread. I have seen whining about refs in every shape and form but Vagine fans always take it to a new level of sniveling.
last time Starks came back from injury, he barely saw the field until a couple games had passed. Why would anyone expect him to step in right away this time?
This is not Woodson we are talking about.

Are you incapable of seeing a different perspective? 
I'm working on it
Even when the Packers beat the Vikings 34-0 or 45-7, they blame the refs. They'll find some ticky-tack call when the game was still somewhat close and claim it changed the complexion, or they'll claim that the Packers OL was "holding" on every play, and ask "why weren't they calling any penalties on the Packers today, why only penalties on the Vikings?". Even if the Vikings lose 100-0 to the Packers, the refs will at least shoulder some of the blame.quote:Originally posted by YATittle:

I understand were hypersensative to them being in our division but I swear to God Queens fans are the biggest bunch of whining douche bags of any team out there.
Had a few sitting behind us at Lambeau yesterday. They were loud as hell for the first quarter. Calling out every first down, bitching about refs... generally carrying out their normal dip**** vibe. It didn't last long.
Vike fans are easily the biggest group of turds in the NFL.

My brother in law went to the game and he said pretty much the same thing. They were loving the first drive but got very quiet later on.

I'm sure they're convinced that CMIII was never held once the entire game.

I didn't recall hearing Collinsworth say anything about a pushoff, and I'm sure he would have come up with something negative to say about the Packers if he could find it.
Well, if he did push off, then he was smart enough not to extend his arm(s).
If you needed some comic relief during the game this play certainly delivered.
GBPRules, I had a good laugh over that one, too! That was a blatant attempt to get a PI call. It was as comical as they come and desperation at work. The Queen fans are probably complaining about that one as well. I do think Jordy pushed off a bit more than allowed, but the ref was not in a position to see it. I also think that he still catches that ball even if he hadn't touched the DB at all. Jordy just wanted it and Rodgers lasered it.
As for the holding, well, you can call holding on every play if you wanted to. And I saw Raji get his head bent backwards, and Clay get wrapped up, and... you get the idea. I thought the refs did a pretty good job letting both sides play the game last night without blatantly missing anything.
And really? Any team that can't count to 11 really cannot b**** about the refs.

Tom Clements on the abysmal performance of the offense in the second half: Link
quote:"We didn’t play well. They played well," he said. "They were playing with more intensity than we were in that point of time. That was not a good end to the game. ...We were fortunate that they weren’t able to score more points. We’re playing against opponents that are in the playoffs that are obviously very good teams. You can’t let your foot off the gas. You have to keep playing the whole game.”

But like Dom did last week, we got vanilla and saved a bunch of stuff for 'Frisco next week.”
Don Barclay graded out well on PFF. Allowed just 1 sack, and no hits or hurries.
EDS, on the other, hand had a pretty bad game. I think it was pretty obvious. They really should've been able to bust some more runs up the middle but EDS just couldn't get any kind of push.
MM said in his presser that the defense graded out well and PFF agreed. Tramon and Shields topped the rankings on defense, with Matthews, Neal and Pickett near the top as well. Neal played especially well with 6 QB hurries.
I thought Erik Walden has a really nice game but PFF graded him very poorly against the run. He did have 6 QB hurries on 25 pass rushing attempts, so that's nice.

The Deep End
Each week, thanks to play-by-play game dissection by ProFootballFocus.com, I'll look at one important matchup or individual performance metric from one of the weekend's games. This week: How did the Packers, gashed for 409 Adrian Peterson rushing yards in two regular season games this season, hold him to 99 yards on 22 rushes Saturday night? PFF czar Neil Hornsby explains:
It may have taken the Packers three tries, but they eventually figured out how to slow Peterson. In the context of this game, although 99 yards at 4.5 yards per carry is pretty good in most circumstances, you could almost say "shut down" as opposed to "slowed down." It was an indictment of just how limited Joe Webb was that more than half those yards came after the Vikings fell behind 24-3 early in the third quarter. So how did they make the man look mortal?
When you study where and how well Peterson runs, the figures show clearly his favorite hole is outside the right tackle (and outside any tight end on the right side). During the regular season, in that area, he ran for 555 yards, or 26 percent of his rushing yardage, for 11.3 yards per carry. His next favorite hole, the A-gap between center and right guard, produced 403 Peterson yards.
He loves to cut right and outside, square his shoulders and run over or around anyone in the vicinity. In the two regular season encounters, over right end, he picked up 207 of his 409 yards running wide right -- at 15.9 yards per rush. So the evidence was clear: Stop Peterson getting outside to his right and you make him merely a great running back.
The Pack deployed their left outside linebacker on a reasonably wide split with a single mission -- do not let Peterson get outside. Time and again Dezman Moses and Erik Walden simply funneled Peterson inside. Good example: On the Vikings' first play of the third quarter, Walden was waiting, wouldn't let Peterson get wide, and put him down for a four-yard loss. Peterson did have an 18-yard run around end, but he finished with only 25 yards, 97 yards less than he gained there a week ago.
It's obvious the Packers have learned their lesson. Was everyone else watching?

That doesn't matter, since "everybody else" doesn't have to deal with AP until September.
Can the Packers learn how to block the 49ers DL?

had four of them directly behind me too and experienced the same thing.
