TNF - MIN vs TB (1 Viewer)

[avina1]

he's officially a stud now.

 

[renesauz]

I'm not so sure that wasn't a pick. I can't believe they didn't even look at it.

We never saw another angle live...that doesn't mean that the booth guys didn't look at one.If the player was clearly OOB on another angle, there's no reason to buzz the officials since they would have made the RIGHT call. The view we had on TV left things less than clear, but the official had a perfect viewing angle...no reason to believe or suspect he got that wrong.

You could see everything on TV. Feet, ball, etc. What else was there to see? The only question was a judgment call as to what point he had "possession".

Really? I don't remember seeing a replay, and the live version was zoomed out quite a bit and on the opposite side of the field. Live, I had no idea if he was in bounds or not.Just because a play looks close live at full speed, doesn't mean that it really was close seen slower from another angle. Blame NFL network for not showing that other angle to us...but don't blame the official in the booth for not buzzing the ref if he saw it and the call on the field was clearly correct. I've seen no reason to disbelieve the call.

 

[renesauz]

Thinking I might have sold low on Martin a few weeks back

 

[bb7278]

105 RuYd, 79 ReYd, ReTD (64), 3 Recpt

Doug Martin is detonating!

 

[chiefs2929]

I Love Dougie

 

[MNTom]

I Love Dougie

And that he is on my opponent's bench

 

[snogger]

Well.. looks like the Viking team most expected for this year has found their way back onto the field :X

 

[Premier]

I wish the Bucs could play Christian Ponder every week. :(

 

[C-Bound]

lol my minn D vs. Martin...super start to the week.

 

[avina1]

Well.. looks like the Viking team most expected for this year has found their way back onto the field :X

Yeah... I feel Ponder should be targeting Rudolph more. Let someone else take the pressure off Harvin/AP

 

[MNTom]

I wish the Bucs could play Christian Ponder every week. :(

I think the fumbles by Simpson and Peterson and the horrendous defensive play has just as much (if not more) to do with the poor showing so far.

 

[footballnerd]

Vikes def struggling agaist the run. LSH just worked them over last week too

 

[Beerguzzler]

Blount is so awful.

 

[heropretend]

was just thinking this.

 

[snogger]

Looking at the last 3 weeks leads me to believe teams are seeing something on film that shows a weakness in the run defense. They started the season so well..

 

[heropretend]

blount in to control the momentum.

 

[Beerguzzler]

Freeman has barely even looked in VJax's direction tonight. The guy just dropped 200 yards for you, hook him up!

yeah teams are seeing they should run pass the defenders who look like deers in headlights

 

[reprisal]

Schiano sprints down the sideline to stop a play going for a 1st down to call one that's nearly picked off

 

[heropretend]

for a qb with 3tds in the early 3rd, freeman's made some terrible throws.

 

[Vike Me]

Now these are more like the Vikes I love to hate.

[snogger]

Hate to say it but.. if the Vikes don't score on this drive I'm going to sleep.. have to get up at 5am and so far nothing worth staying up for.

 

[valhallan]

Jury still out for me. Lots of yapping to his receivers after bad throws.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Where is the Viking's Purple Pride?!?!

Gotta protect the hallowed ground of Mall of America field!

For shame.

 

[mr roboto]

TD ADP!!!

 

[snogger]

Hate to say it but.. if the Vikes don't score on this drive I'm going to sleep.. have to get up at 5am and so far nothing worth staying up for.

Never mind

 

[renesauz]

ouch...against Harvin and ADP in one league

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

No sleep for you.

snogger, wait

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

OK. For the grief I give Simpson (and deservedly so), that was a good block to make sure ADP makes that long TD.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

He's so good. But that was a clip

 

[duaneok66]

good. should keep the game closer and keep Blount off the field.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

OK. For the grief I give Simpson (and deservedly so), that was a good block to make sure ADP makes that long TD.

Oh it was effective, it was jut in he back.

 

[Rick James]

Minny DEF with a solid 0 points so far.

 

[avina1]

I have ADP and DMartin. Biggest #### eating grin right now lmao

 

[MNTom]

He's so good. But that was a clip

No it wasn't. He got his shoulder in front of the defender's shoulder.

 

[sporthenry]

He just reminds me of a Leftwich type. Someone who can lead you to the playoffs and such but not a franchise QB. I think V-Jax and most importantly Schiano will be good for him and not ask him to do too much but he'll most likely need a Bucs defense of yesteryear to compete with the Saints/Falcons.

missed the talks, but that vjax throw was right at coverage. couple others were pretty bad like the one that bounced off a dlinemans numbers.

 

[fire_tune]

Any chance Vikes D gets out of the negative?

 

[mr roboto]

Can someone tell me why Tampa continually gets that corner/safety blitz off the end? They are constantly in Ponder's face.

Is it just because the WRs can't get open so they keep sending DBs?

 

[Childress]

Freeman's gonna screw this game up for TB

 

[Beerguzzler]

Freeman continues with some awful passes.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

It's good to see Kevin Williams making some plays this game and this season.

He's been great for so many years and to think he should be Ryan Sims.

 

[Beerguzzler]

Any chance Vikes D gets out of the negative?

Slim to none. A semblance of positive plays would be nice at least. Squadoosh so far.

 

[snogger]

Leave it to AP to wakeup the defense

 

[sporthenry]

Any chance Vikes D gets out of the negative?

Slim to none.

Yeah, Freeman won't be in a position to make too many dangerous throws and they'll be running it a lot so not too many sacks available.ETA: Schiano has done a good job limiting TB shooting itself in the foot, so DEF against TB isn't great fantasy wise.

See!!! What the hell???

 

[Card Trader]

Ponder is bad, with a decent qb Minny is a playoff team.
