If the basis of your statement is to intentionally try to injure an NFL player, that's a bunch of BS. However, if you're talking about how to properly tackle a raging bull like AP, you're dead on. If you don't take out his legs you'll get steamrolled.

Thanks for the confirmation, I was worried.

Not asking you to be worried... I'm saying that if your suggestion is that GB should intentionally try to injure the guy to win a football game then you're a POS.

Yea, F me. You should be a Viking fan with the rest of the dip****s. There's no place in football for intentionally trying to injure another player.

That thing Rodgers wears during the cold-weather games isn't a hand-warmer; it's a murse.

The big negative to me is the team once again came out totally flat, two straight 3 and outs on O to start the game and the whole first quarter was a complete waste both on O and D... this is a pattern, the team needs 15 minutes of running around and being hit before they collectively wake up and get into the game... that in my opinion is one of the big failings of the HC.

Week by week, Christian Ponder (69 snaps) is providing hope for the future...He was 9-of-13 on third down, with six conversions... He also scrambled twice for 16 yards, including an 8-yarder to set up a field goal on one of the third-down plays Packers ROLB Clay Matthews was spying to prevent exactly that....didn't put the ball in an ideal spot on a handful of other throws. The extra-man rushes DC Dom Capers sent 10 times in Ponder's 26 dropbacks (38.5%, not including bootlegs, sprint-outs, etc.) impacted a couple of them in the red zone, but Ponder also had completions of 17, 21 and 17 yards against those looks.
The Packers keyed on motion, repeatedly bringing a safety down to the strong side of the Vikings' formation to try to keep HB Adrian Peterson (58) from getting outside. So, Peterson gashed them between the tackles instead -- running for 199 yards and a touchdown on a career-high 34 carries (5.9 average), forcing 11 missed tackles and gaining 119 yards after contact (60%). He stiff-armed MLB Brad Jones on a lead play that went for 22 and broke though Hawk's arm tackle on another that gained 6 on fourth-and-1.
FB Jerome Felton (33) was on the field for six of Peterson's seven "explosive" runs of 12 yards or more, flattened Hawk on one of them...
The Vikings had been waiting all day to take their shot to Jarius Wright (39 snaps). Burnett came down as usual over the motion man, leaving the Packers in a single-high look with RCB Sam Shields playing outside-leveraged coverage against Wright, who beat him with a hard step to the post before accelerating upfield for a 65-yard gain.
Kyle Rudolph (62 snaps) caught only two of seven passes thrown his way for 20 yards, but this might have been his finest day as a blocker. He got to Hayward on the big screen and had a series of impressive turns against Matthews. Identical lead-left calls on fourth-and-1 and again on the Vikings' final offensive play succeeded because Rudolph sealed the edge.
Something seems to have clicked for DL Everson Griffen (44 snaps), who returned to his rotational role and had another highly productive day. Playing 19 snaps inside and the rest at end, Griffen kept fighting against RG Josh Sitton to sack QB Aaron Rodgers in 3.4 seconds, took advantage of a slip to fall on Rodgers in 4.1 and got under RT Don Barclay's pads with a speed move for a third sack in 2.4 seconds. He added another QB hit and three additional pressures -- mostly against Barclay, who got plenty of help and figures to get even more next time.
LE Brian Robison (39) leaned on his bad shoulder to beat Barclay for another sack in 3.5 seconds, knocking free the ball as Rodgers tried to throw for the game's only turnover.
...CB A.J. Jefferson (49), who gave up six completions for 67 yards and a touchdown in seven targets, taking a 16-yard pass interference penalty against Nelson on the other. continue
