Ok, here's the problem with NFL refs and the stupid protct the quarterback crap they pull.

Jackson was being gang tackled by 3 Packers. His forward progress was non-existent, and he was going to be crushed by three guys. No whistle. Nothing.

Then a backer comes in and flatens the pile. By all accounts that has got to be more dangerous than simply following through in your tackling motion after the QB throws the ball. But, again, nothing.

Every Sunday I see rushers getting penalties because they don't have the unhuman ability to stop on a dime the milisend after a QB throws a ball, but here 4 guys are allowed to sumo the QB and it isn't a penalty (nor should it be.)

The NFL needs to fix this.

 

[Bankerguy]

I have Favre and Driver. My opponent has Taylor and Taylor.

 

[Phil4]

What the hell happen with the packers tonight? They are on fire!

The def look pretty good. All is on Brett Shoulder tonight

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Stop having non-Favre named guys throw the ball. Thanks.

 

[TommyKramer]

3 and outs suck the hope right out of me.

He'll pick it up. He's a rook, but I've seen enough of him that I get the impression he's a quick study. I expect a 20+ yard completion soon.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Favre wired up for sound for the first time ever?

I think Fla\/\/ed just soiled himself.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Ahman Green just got jacked up.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

I know this is a dumb question, but they edit what the player says, right? I mean, he really didn't say much during all those plays. And veteran or not, I gotta think that at some point when your being chased or hit, you're going to say F*** or something once or twice, yet he doesn't make a sound.

Not a dumb question...I thought the same thing....I'd be like F&^%! You son of a B&^%(.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

DAng.

This teasing Yankeefan in the red zone stuff has to stop.

 

[Bankerguy]

Favre almost killed me last week. Looks like he and the Packers are trying to get kill me again.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Can this kid catch anything?

 

[TommyKramer]

Can this kid catch anything?

He is just brutal. He can not catch the ball. It's unbelievable how bad he is at it. Not good for a WR.And, BTW, I took the over on him having 3+ receptions this game. Ahhhhhhhh!

I can't even see the game and just assumed it was "Butter Fingers" Williamson, am I right?

Get the man a door prize!

 

[Bankerguy]

Throw it to Driver exclusively. Geez.

 

[snorlax]

Bubba Franks is DONE. I don't care if you just got that first down as I was typing this.

 

[shakeybarn]

11:44 to go in the 2nd quarter and Driver has been targeted 12 times.

 

[texasyankee]

Packers are letting the Vikings stay in this game

If the Vikings can get any offense they could take it

 

[texasyankee]

Did I just see that the Packers have MALE cheerleaders

Paging Bob & Dan - can I get a ruling

 

[simsarge]

Man, Gumble is bad. Seems to only have a read on what happened rather than what is happeneing.

He's the best NFL Network could come up with?

 

[Optimizer]

This game is horrible. It is setting football back 10 years. Both teams are bad.

 

[texasyankee]

This is the first game of his I have watched, it is a little roughAnyone know how many years he signed for with the NFLN

 

[RageRhino]

not much commentary on this one.

 

[inca911]

Yes it hit the turf.

 

[MSULions]

can you catch the ball with your legs?

 

[RageRhino]

so incomplete? is that the challenge?

 

[texasyankee]

I dont care what Collinsworth says - that was a horse collar

 

[MSULions]

guess not.

 

[shakeybarn]

We're at 14 now.

Well he was free since he lost his winter olympics gig.

 

[Beetle]

Can't watch the game thanks to Brighthouse cable -- how does the Green Bay defense look? Does the rook look nervous?

www.sopcast.comThe defense looks good but not quite as good as last week so far. Tarvaris has had his good and bad moments; he doesn't really have happy feet or anything.

 

[inca911]

Rook looks fine. Lots of Viking drops. Williamson had a ugly drop early. Kleinsasser had one hit him in both hands.

 

[inca911]

Jennings acts like the ball is scaring him....

 

[RageRhino]

what are the chances driver grabs a TD tonight?

 

[Yankee23Fan]

This teasing crap has to stop. Is FBGirl71 the new offesnive coordinator here or something?

 

[inca911]

what are the chances driver grabs a TD tonight?

65% So far it's been the Driver show for 78yds.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

GB really needs a TD here. They have been dominating all half and should have at least 17 pts by now.

 

[littletank]

Down by 3, why does Minn. think they need to throw it every down? Is Chester hurt?

 

[MeVsMaradona]

With TJ completing over 50% of all his passes should the Vikes be passing everydown and throwing 10-20 yard routes?

 

[snorlax]

This has been Ruvell Martin's best game by far. I think that touchdown might have done a lot to help his confidence.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Ahhhh. That was 20 yards right there. Bret got too excited.

 

[Stealthycat]

stay INT Favre baby and you'll end the night with good yardages

saty INT Brett baby and the TD will come

BTW whats the weather like ? I don't get the game

I started GB defense too ......

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Can GB score a TD for goodness sake. The secondary is begging them to score. Favre has been surgical all night but nothing to show for it at all.

 

[Matt_The_Fantasy_Master]

Why are the Vikings throwing the ball as if they are behind? Where is C. Taylor?

Favre...killing me.

 

[snorlax]

Those first half highlights were incredible.

Nice to see Green Bay leading in first downs 14-1; that's a pretty good indicator of how they've dominated this game.
