Go.

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Skol!

:horns:

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

First offensive series for Vikes, and ADP is on the field!

 

[griff321]

First play is a designed PA to Rudolf, he's going to be a big part of this O.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

MJD gets the first carry for the Jags.

And Jennings gets in right after that.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Vikes are showing an aggressive defense - too aggressive with a few offside penalties already.

Gabbert made a nice throw for the first down while feeling that pressure on 3rd down. Later in this same drive, Gabbert again stayed in the pocket to deliver a strike to a receiver across the middle. He's looking confident...for now.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Justin Blackmon wiiiiiiide open for a short TD and Gabbert somehow missed the throw on a 3 yard pass.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Jennings is getting all the work out of the backfield save for that one appearance by MJD. Even though Jennings has done well, things may change as a result of him getting stopped on a third down run from the Vikes 1 yard line. FG for Jax.

 

[PatriotJohn]

Any sign of Gerhart yet?

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Any sign of Gerhart yet?

Second offensive series for Vikes and Toby is the lead back. He's even in on a 3rddown...and Ponder makes a bad pass (that shoulda been an Int) to bring up 4th down.Vikes punt to the Jags returner...MJD?!

 

[Homer]

MJD sent to field the punt and muffs it (luckily out of bounds). Jackass Mularkey strikes!

 

[PatriotJohn]

Thanks

 

[Funkley]

Vikings might have the worst offense in the NFL this year.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Last Jax series featured MJD in the backfield...and they went 3 and out.

Vikes defensive line looks awfully good so far. Not a big shocker as it was their D-Backs that were the primary culprits for the defenses troubles last season.

Ponder hasn't done anything of note in the 1st quarter.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Gotta mention this again...

Gabbert is staying in the pocket and hasn't displayed any of the fear that was his MO last season. This is with good pressure for the Vikes D-line.

 

[mquinnjr]

Percy Harvin, active? I'm not seeing much in the stat line.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Percy Harvin, active? I'm not seeing much in the stat line.

Until Ponder gets his act together, it's gonna be a long day for Percy and the entire state of Minnesota.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Yes! TD Lewis.

 

[Donnybrook]

Looks like it going to be a long season.

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

What's up with Percy? Is he getting looks?

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

The entire offense is struggling as a result of Ponder's lack of passing game. When he has thrown it, the TE Rudolph is getting the attention.

The crowd is getting upset.

 

[griff321]

Vikings might have the worst offense in the NFL this year.

We're going to be my early favorite to land Barkley.

 

[griff321]

What's up with Percy? Is he getting looks?

The play calling is looking extremely vanilla and Ponder looks very bad.

 

[Fantasyfollow1]

Well Harvin may have been a bad pick with the way Ponder is playing. They need to get him involved somehow.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Percy just turned a screen pass into a 16 yard gain through traffic. Maybe they should try to get him involved.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Sorry. Forgot that all screens are called "Bubble Screens" these days.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

In a shocking development, a couple of nice pass plays courtesy of Percy has created running lanes for ADP.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

SKOL!

ADP with a rushing TD. Coaches show confidence in him and his knee by rushing him up the middle after getting stuffed the down earlier.

Love your username. Nice nod to the Young Ones

 

[Jobber]

SKOL!ADP with a rushing TD. Coaches show confidence in him and his knee by rushing him up the middle after getting stuffed the down earlier.

A lot of Vikings fans and ADP owners are happy to see that. He was all smiles afterward.

It's nothing short of amazing. I can't think of another player that's made this kind of recovery. SKOL!

You must be old.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Vikings offense again on the move thanks to the Percy/ADP combo.

Harvin just pushed the pile after making a rolling catch. He's a powerful guy.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Skol!

Another rushing TD for ADP. Made a little leap over the left side of the Vikes O-Line surge.

 

[griff321]

ALL FKING DAY!!!

 

[Jobber]

ADP second TD of the day!

 

[Max Maximus]

Guess RJ is back to the benches...

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Wanna make a lot of money as a NFL Free Agent? Play the opposite Defensive End from Jared Allen. How you doin' Ray Edwards?

Robison applying pressure and breaking up a potential first down pass from Gabbert.

 

[Deaddawg]

Damn! I have both MJD and ADP on the bench in my keeper league! Well, guess I will swallow my loss today and look forward to a better year than I imagined.

 

[Funkley]

Guyon you f'n moron.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Chad Greenway takes care of business for three straight downs forcing a Jax FG attempt.

Thankfully, Greenway never unleashed his triumphant "High Kick" celebration move.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Fair and Balanced reporting here:

Ponder is making this offense hum with good throws to open receivers and the running game keeping the Jags honest. Not much in the way of pressure from the Jax front 7.

Red zone time for the Vikes.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

NFL Sunday is the most network TV that I see in any week. Based upon the commercials for this season's sit-coms, maybe Greenway's fruity "High Kick" would fit right in after all. Lots of gay couples on the Fall schedule which is obviously fabulous.

They must be the new "Funny Black Friend".

 

[Slapdash]

So much for Jennings getting the workload.

 

[Donnybrook]

Jags clock management

 

[John Bender]

Jags punting?!?!?

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Jags new punter is something else. Big leg.

Jax fans should embrace him as they will likely get to see him often.

Vikings controlling all facets of the game right now.

 

[GroveDiesel]

So much for Jennings getting the workload.

He hurt his knee.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Me and my big mouth. Jags with a stop forcing a Vikings put from deep in MN territory.

Jags are down by 5 with 1:31 left.

Lucky punt leaves Jags with a start from their own 24.
