Game Thread W8 - New England at Minnesota (1 Viewer)

Is it just me or does the Vikings owner look like the guy on Seinfeld who owned the Pakistani restaurant?

I don't like the Bears but I hope they knock the snot out of these arrogant pats. This is ridiculous that Brady is still in shotgun mode.
IIRC, the Bears went for it on 4th and 1 at the 49ers 2 (or so) when they were up 41-0. That's ridicu;ous.
Kicking the field goal would've been much classier I guess. That was also in the 3rd quarter. Not even close to the same. :rolleyes:
 
I think the Vikings need to mix it up and get Longwell in there at QB. See what he can do. He looked good earlier in the season.

 
I just loved the gameplan for the Pats. The Vikes have excelled at winning close, hard-fought, grind-it-out battles with noodle-armed greybeard Brad Johnson "managing" the game.

So Belichick comes out with Brady flinging, races away with the lead, and turns Johnson into an absurd parody of himself, launching feeble fluttering punt-like deep balls that were mercilessly intercepted or batted down by New England's rampaging secondary.

Classic Belichick - force your opponent to play to their weaknesses while playing to your own strengths.

 
Gimmie one more tackle Rodney...just one mo

Edit: NFL not giving Rodney an assist on that tackle prior to the INT? Brutal.

:goodposting: hit the nail on the head with that one

Good thing the Bears have no weaknesses. :thumbup:
 
i call bs on kornheiser owning moore in fantasyno one owns that stiff.. and even if they did who the heck would start him?!
owned and started in my league. It's a very deep and unusual league. Moore's points have almost given that guy the win where it looked like a sure loss before tonight started.
:bs: :link:
And with that long screen pass, the guy wins. Unbelievable. Everyone on the Vikings blows today, except a backup rb/pr who scores 17 in my league. He was down by 15.
 
Official scoring in this game from an IDP standpoint was an eyebrow raiser. Only 1 assisted tackle for each team? Whatever.

 
The Patriots team I just saw on MNF could handle the Bears when they play in 4 weeks. The Bears will need their A game on both sides of the ball to win that game (Bear's homer here).

Brady was scary good tonight.

 
Bears - Pats should be a great game.

No doubt, the Bears Def is going to tough to handle, but I bet the Pats will have a Defensive scheme that is really going to make Grossman look bad.

 
Missed this game, fell asleep after dinner

Props to Jeff on Reche call earlier this week.

So Jackson didn't do much huh? IIRC He started two weeks ago, did he start tonight? What's with him?

What happenned to Corey?

 
Only positive I can take out of that :yucky: :X Game was the play by Williamson.

He made at least 3 great catches and a couple of other good ones.

But I'm sure the haters will talk about his one "drop".

Ball hit the outside of his left shoulder, while the defender was grabbing his right arm that wasn't called(I know :ptts: ).

But dang it, a good receiver would have still caught that. :rolleyes:

Not to mention I truly expected them to be 3-4 at this point of the season.

Being 4-3 with Next 4 games being @ 49ers, Packers @ Home, @Miami, Cards @ Home they have a very good chance to be 8-3 or 7-4 when they go to Chicago and get whipped.. Or so my :suds: tell me ;)

To be honest snogger, on that misscue by Williamson, the ball glancing off his face mask (not outside his left shoulder) was the 1st inkling Troy had, of where the ball was. He had completely lost track of it (could have been the lights). :shrug: The defender was on his right arm, but it's not like he had Williamson's arm in a full lock or anything. I'm pretty sure Williamson could have raised his arm up for the catch, (or at least tried to) if he had seen the ball. Even if the defender had tightened his grip & stopped Williamson from reacting to the ball with his right arm, the Ref (who was right there on the sideline) would've seen it and called pass interference.

But you are right. Far more good in this game by Williamson, than bad.

That was the only bad play I saw by Williamson and as I said, he may well have lost track of the ball in the lights. Happens to every WR.

:confused: How's that? The Bears have been crushing it this year too. Both teams better bring their A games if they want to win. It should be exciting.
