Winfield OUT, bump to SD passing game

LIke they needed a bump? I have a feeling they are going to pass 75% of the time and get up 31-3 by halftime.

On my way to the sports bar to watch my Vikings get killed...

 

[EdwardCat]

Tomlinson has some amazing moves. I finally get to watch him now that he's playing my home team.

 

[BoltBacker]

Flawless tackle by Griffin there. LT spent too much time dancing instead of lowering his shoulder against a CB to get the first down.

I disagree. He paused for a moment to try and out-maneuver the CB and made a great move. The defense swarmed him, though. I didn't see too much dancing.

 

[BoltBacker]

Jammer starting, Cromartie nickel back and Oliver inactive..... I was hoping Cromartie might get the start and Oliver would be used as the nickel back. If Jammer gets beat by these stiffs at WR he should be benched.

Both Davis/Floyd inactive.... makes you wonder if Chambers may have a big day vs a great run defense. SD may have to do damage in the air today.

Childress is a boy among men. His Vikings are poised to get rolled. Chargers getting a lot of no names involved early.

 

[EdwardCat]

Great catch by Naanee on 3rd and long.

 

[EdwardCat]

I smell an LT TD coming up.

Edit: Stuffed.

Floyd is inactive because Naanee has passed him on the depth chart. Floyd was inactive last week as well.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Who is this Nanee guy?

 

[EdwardCat]

Allison...who is he? Nice return, though.

 

[BoltBacker]

Brutal return coverage. Right up the middle.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

I'm know I'm stating the obvious, but Peterson is really, really good.

 

[IGKYA!!!]

I'm know I'm stating the obvious, but Peterson is really, really good.

Which play made you post that?

 

[GregStarling]

I'm know I'm stating the obvious, but Peterson is really, really good.

He just equaled my preseason TD prediction (7), and is quickly closing in on the yards (950) - and I'm a big ADP homer. The guy is just sick.

 

[GregStarling]

To me it was the one where he made one of the best LBs in the league (Merriman) look slow.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

All of them.

 

[EdwardCat]

Man, MN's run defense is sick. LT will be lucky to get 60 rushing yards today. ALthough, he might get 2-3 TDs.

 

[Childress]

I sat him for fatdale, no need to post the icon, I'm already wearing the shirt.

 

[BoltBacker]

Why are the officials announcing non-penalties?

 

[Zow]

How is that not intentional grounding??

BTW, actually some good tackling being seen today - while AD and LT2 simultaneously look really good. Can't believe SD hasn't started using Gates yet.

 

[Zow]

no ####### clue. that was a mess.

 

[EdwardCat]

What a crazy series of events.

I thought it was interesting Deirdorf said the pocket was from TE-to-TE. I always thought it was Tackle to tackle. It was close if you were judging based on the tackle, but he clearly wasn't outside where a TE would have been.

I think the guy running the clock got to the stadium on the short bus. The clock isn't supposed to be running when the officials are making a call(or non-call?).

 

[MCguidance]

Are they doubling Gates with safety help?

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

This first quarter has been really ugly.

 

[BoltBacker]

Very poor throw by Rivers there, they need to connect on those. Few reps between them but still.

How can you blame Rivers there? Chambers didn't even look for the ball.

Actually, the pass was near perfect. Chambers got confused.

I think he expected the ball to be somewhere in front of him, instead of wayyyy behind him.

 

[snogger]

Chargers.. I know your strength is the Rush game.. But you might want to watch a little film on the vikings defense this year..

 

[EdwardCat]

Aye. They should be doing a bunch of screens and passes over the middle against this Vikings defense. The Vikings have a serious chance of winning this game if SD keeps incurring penalties.

The Ball landed a ft next to his head. That was all on Chambers.

 

[Gold Plated Nails]

That PI call was crap.

 

[Bill Brasky]

brutal offensive PI call on the Bolts right there

 

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

bad pass interference call...these refs are having issues this game

 

[hawks404]

Is gates hiding?

Wheres he been all game?

 

[Zow]

what is up w/ kluwe today?? maybe the dude needs to stop playing Halo3 until 7 AM.

 

[kaso]

How does Gates only have 1 target this far into the game?

 

[Bill Brasky]

is norv serious? you know you're playing the worst pass d in the league with their best corner out....right?

 

[Zow]

Is gates hiding? Wheres he been all game?

dunno, to be honest. we're doing a nice job blitzing. rivers had him twice but made bad throws. rivers look awful IMO. missed chambers for a TD, missed jackson for one, and had some bad drops by jackson. TEs usually kill us too so i don't get it really.

 

[MCguidance]

I just put out an APB on Gates, let me know if anyone sees him.

 

[Zow]

they are passing... to their credits smith and griffin are playing well. rivers is also making bad throws. we are getting pressure too.

So far they seem to really be attacking the CB's(Griffin in particular). I'm all for that but I'd like to see them get Gates involved on some short passes and settle Rivers down right now. Also, I'm not sure why they are running Tomlinson straight up the gut so often, I've always thought the strength of the MIN run defense is up the middle. They should keep feeding Tomlinson the ball but I'd love to see him run out wide.MIN playing well(except for their punter).
