Nice pass rush Pack.

Nice pass rush.

Lot of whiny #####es in this thread.

yet most of the Favre haters are still in hiding.

80% of the posts in this thread are people crying that the refs made a blood pact before the game to help Favre pad his stats.

I don't even have the game on or a dog in this fight, but I know protocol is to whine about the refs.

While I agree with you on the refs at times being overblamed, you can't deny that all of professional sports is star-driven. It's a marketing machine. It's why noone is talking about the Broncos.

OMG the amount of time Favre has is insane.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

He could have ran out the quarter.

 

[LordHusker]

Worst. Pass. Rushing. Team. Evah.

I can't believe that this is the 2nd night in a row that players are allowed to stop a guy and basically hold him incapable of moving, but don't allow him to fall down, so that somebody can strip the ball from him and run the other way. The Chargers did the same thing to the Steelers last night. I think this is a stretching of the rules. If a guy can't move, the play needs to be whistled dead.

In both cases the guy in question was still moving.

He's still moving because his tacklers are deliberately not trying to bring him down. Instead, they're simply trying to hold him in place while one guy tries to take the ball away. I'm not sure what the RB is supposed to do in that situation- is he supposed to go limp? Of course he's going to struggle. But I think the play should be whistled dead.

Are they holding him in place, or is he moving.... it can't be both.

Berrian again. Thought that pass was gonna be overthrown.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

What is it with Favre and Monday nights?

 

[jurb26]

Ummm, why don't the Packers blitz at all?

 

[LordHusker]

It's over, Packer fan. Might as well retire for the evening.

 

[MCguidance]

Hope they dont abandon the run here. Way too early.

 

[smackdaddies]

First series is key. Vike Queens score, game is basically over. Packers stop/better, another turnover, it will go to the end.

It's over

 

[Britney Spears]

Dear Jaworski, I think Al Harris definitely was expecting help over the top. HTH

 

[jurrassic]

What happened to all of those 3-4 blitzes?

 

[scott72]

Wow Favre is still the man...We're gettin killed now..

 

[Rhino]

Someone forgot to tell the Packers Defense that halftime is over.

 

[Werewolf Moderator Fan]

One more TD pass and Favre will have as many TDs as Rodgers has turnovers and sacks.

 

[Britney Spears]

He could have ran out the quarter.

LOL

 

[j3r3m3y]

Odds tell me he is due for a pick.

This is Favre's Super Bowl. Like I said, don't be surprised if he throws 3 ints next week.

 

[Red Forman]

Love it!!! Suck it Pete Prisco!

Agreed

 

[EdwardCat]

Peterson is the Brees of RBs. Big first game and then disappears. Yeah, he had a TD today but he's otherwise sucked.

 

[Cripster]

Someone explain to me how the 3-4 is an improvement for the Packers.

 

[LadyBeBop]

Brett Favre...another player on my bench who's exploding.

<turns her focus on hoping the Vikings triple-cover Driver>

Al Harris on the phone calling for more help over the top.

Heh.I missed it, who was that penalty against?

 

[jurrassic]

I'll be interested to see how McCarthy spins this one. I have no problem with the loss, but the penalties and lack of pass rush continue to be problems throughout his tenure as coach. They are an incredibly sloppy team. You can't win games consistently finishing in the top 3 most penalized times, I don't care how much talent you have.

John Madden's Raiders disagree with you.

:weaksauce:

I've got 16 years on you watching this guy. Just wait. The guy is playing tonight, no denying it. He had a 6 td game last year.

 

[Red Forman]

BIG HOSS!!!

 

[VTjkru]

Ugh This is exactly what I didnt want. I could have dealt with a Packers lost under two conditions:

- Favre doesnt have a great game

now that's all we will hear about all week

- Rodgers doesnt have a bad game

I dont think Rodgers is seasoned enough to deal with a bad week when all eyes are on him

McCarthy and TT need to be listening. I thought the GB D was to be much improved...

 

[smackdaddies]

Pack O line is seriously bad

 

[j3r3m3y]

Pack O line is seriously bad

While that might be true, the Vikes line is really, really good.Really.

Very true. While some of the calls have been questionable, there is no doubt this team looks sloppy and is making big mistakes.

 

[Britney Spears]

Ryan Grant does not impress me at all. Just looks very average to me.

Donald Driver is ageless. What an under rated player IMO.

 

[Yenrub]

Peterson is the Brees of RBs. Big first game and then disappears. Yeah, he had a TD today but he's otherwise sucked.

Not so sure I agree with all of that but I could use another TD from the young fella tonight

 

[MCguidance]

He HAS to throw that ball.

 

[j3r3m3y]

Does he know he doesn't have to hold on to it?

 

[None_More_Black]

Get rid of the ball Rodgers come on.

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

Pack O line is seriously bad

They looked great on that play. He just didn't throw the damn ball.

 

[Rhino]

Can't blame the O-Line for that one - you HAVE to get rid of that ball.

 

[VTjkru]

Rodgers trying to channel Vick....throw the ball!!!

 

[j3r3m3y]

Ryan Grant does not impress me at all. Just looks very average to me.

That was a nice move tho..

 

[smackdaddies]

Packers still playing hard. At least on offense

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

Gotta be kidding me.
