[Elway Lives]

Another catch for Driver... Nice! Keep em coming!

Favre to Driver seems to be the flavor of the day so far in this game, especially now with Ferguson out.

 

[BoneYardDog]

You forgot the Texans...

 

[Elway Lives]

Packers D would have been a great pickup for this week... Mewelde fumbles, GB recovers...

So far so good.

 

[Elway Lives]

Favre throws his first incomplete of the game with less than 2 to go in the half.

 

[snogger]

Favre Missed a Wide open Driver..Really it's not that hard. 3 guys on Driver, 1 on Chatman .. Not to tough Vikes.. Pull your Head out.

 

[craigboy]

"And with the first pick of the 2006 draft, the Minnesota Vikings select...."

REGGIE BUSH!!!

 

[snogger]

This game was over the minute The Packers ship docked. :( :(

 

[Elway Lives]

Pack comes up short on 3rd and 10, but defensive holding on Vikes gives them the first. Wow.

 

[doubledown_33]

Ahman Green is absolutely horrible. I am so sick of wasting a starting spot on ths guy. Is he as horrible as his stats indicate? I mean, he can't even avg 3 yards a carry against this defense?

I agree. I think it's time to get rid of Tice. Why wait 'til the end of the season... Although, I must admit, as a Packer fan, I love Tice...

 

[fruity pebbles]

Put Davenport in. He can probably run better than Ahman on crutches.

I traded Thomas Jones for him thinking I'd rather have A.G. on my roster at the end of the season. Hopefully I will be right... 1st down, Ahman Green.

He really isn't looking that bad in this game. He's getting some decent yardage, and they are going to him a lot.

If you were in the Twin Cites and read the paper, there is talk that Tice may not even be fired after the season cause Wilf blames McCombs more than Tice for the Crappy season.

 

[HULLOBUDMAN]

Sorry to be a pest. Any more update on Ferg?

McCombs ain't on the field coaching... Ouch... Good luck with all that...

 

[Elway Lives]

Sorry to be a pest. Any more update on Ferg?

Nothing yet.

 

[Toons]

I haven't seen an update on Ferg yet. Hyperextended his left knee when he came down with the ball. Held on to the ball though...

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Does Culpepper really only have 5 pass attempts so far?

 

[Toons]

Ferg in locker room getting x-rays. Update to follow after the half.

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

Culpepper getting pressured big time. Announcers said that was the 26th sack. 2nd most in the league. No way they can turn the offense around with that kind of protection.

Why the shock?Culpepper was the second most sacked QB in the league last year also:

[Fla\/\/ed]

Does Culpepper really only have 5 pass attempts so far?

GB is controlling the ball and time of possesion.

 

[Elway Lives]

Does Culpepper really only have 5 pass attempts so far?

Minn has only had the ball about 10 mins. They've been running a lot of those, plus Culpepper already has 3 sacks. 5 attempts sounds about right. Packers doing a great job of keeping them off the field and then making Minn pay when they have the ball.

 

[cracKer]

Does Culpepper really only have 5 pass attempts so far?

Total plays, 35 to 17.

 

[snogger]

Does Culpepper really only have 5 pass attempts so far?

6 now.

 

[jesse]

Any sing of Burleson??? I know Cully only has 5 attempts, but has anyone watching the game seen anything???

 

[snogger]

Here goes Throw it up for grabsDropped by burleson in the End zone..Hey.. GOOD NEWS.. No INT's by Culpepper for the 1st half.. course he only threw it 8 times.

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

Any sing of Burleson??? I know Cully only has 5 attempts, but has anyone watching the game seen anything???

He didn't sing but almost caught a hail mary pass.

Damn he got up there on that one! Too bad he couldn't hold onto it.

 

[sentr]

Did the Vikes bench Mewelde after the fumble? Was it his fault or Culpepper's?

I was about to ask the same thing. Someone watching please let us know.

That's more than I thought , but they were also #2 in passing attempts last year. This year they are middle of the pack in attempts but 2nd in sacks given up. They are giving up almost 5 per game.

 

[MrPack]

I have never been so depressed as a Viking fan as I am right now. :(

Really, at this point, I hate myself for being a Viking fan.

Need a hug big guy?

 

[Mr.Blonde]

ferguson - strained left knee - out

 

[Willy]

Moore must be benched. Bennett is in there. Just picked up 6.Edit: spoke to soon. Huge gainer for Moore.

 

[Willy]

Minnesota is really moving the ball well to start the 2nd half.

 

[Preacher 1]

Perfect pass by Pep to Robinson on that shot to the endzone...of course, Robinson drops it.

That's more than I thought , but they were also #2 in passing attempts last year. This year they are middle of the pack in attempts but 2nd in sacks given up. They are giving up almost 5 per game.Most people are shocked that Vick and Culpepper were among the league leaders in getting sacked last year. Most people think of them as elusive running QBs... but sometimes this works to their disadvantage as the O-Linemen have no idea where they're at....

 

[throatpunch]

again Mewelde gets them to the redzone and the Oompa has to pass, resulting in sacks of course.

 

[RoarinSonoran]

These WRs do realize that the reason for their existance is to CATCH the ball, right?

 

[Preacher 1]

Looks like Pep has finally said, F it...he's running and gunning and it's working.

 

[Preacher 1]

About time that he actually held onto one...

 

[Jiggyonthehut]

Wheres David Martin- i dont see him having a target YET. Werent the pack supposed to run 2-TE sets? Im not seeing this at all.

Packers TE David Lee is getting some looks. No idea where Martin is.

 

[Willy]

Ahman could have been stuffed, ends up turning it into 13 yards.

 

[Willy]

Vikes looked pretty good on offense in that quarter. Packers had a 3 and out, and a long drive here to end the 3rd quarter. Packers looking to kick a FG now.

 

[Willy]

FG no good. 2nd miss of the game for Longwell

 

[Toons]

I'm starting to get that sinking feeling in my gut....

 

[mcjc4]

If the Vikes comeback and win this game, the Packers will be kicking them selfs in the ###! the Vikes look miserable,but are still in this game.

 

[Willy]

Travis Taylor with a huge 3rd down conversion.
