Week 5 Game Thread - Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints (1 Viewer)

Best. Playcalling. Ever.

 

[baldgriff]

the kickass offense rears its ugly head again.

has diarhea

 

[cj*]

Smart to put your best player on the bench with 1st and goal from the 4.

 

[baldgriff]

Nice touch by Taylor! Schiancoe getting another look in the endzone. They have thrown to him in the endzone every week this year.

 

[analog_hiss]

The Vikings are going to roll tonight!!!!

 

[encaitar]

Needed Winfield to get me 5 points

Well at this rate he's gonna have 35 points.

 

[The Ref]

Anyone here who thought that the Vikings would be up 17-10 with AD having 5 yards raise your hand.

 

[Facecow]

The Vikings are going to roll tonight!!!!

Vikes grab a few more of those on-side kicks from the Saints and it'll be a rout!

 

[baldgriff]

Seriously can they cover a kick-off?? That kick coverage is just terrible!

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Shiancoe!!!!!

 

[snogger]

Anyone here who thought that the Vikings would be up 17-10 with AD having 5 yards raise your hand.

Anyone think the Vikings, or any team for that matter, would score 17 points with 40 yards of offense after 19 minutes???

 

[yinzer]

I really like what Bush is doing

But I really want to trade him if I can get some decent guys in return

 

[Facecow]

You know, it seems as though the Vikes have been struggling with kick coverage since the days of Sheriff Denny Green. It amazes me how a trait such as this can carry through an organization regardless of owners, coaches, and players.

 

[fluorescent walkway]

Christ the Saints have made a ton of mistakes so far.

 

[The Ref]

Vikings better get the running game going or the saints are going to hang a 40 on them.

 

[cowboyz]

face mask?

lol

Nah, the defensive guy just grabbed and twisted Bush's facemask. That's not a facemask.

Can't wait for Hester to return kicks off this team.

Glad it wasn't called... as the 15yd variety is one of the most poorly called penalties in the NFL. Period. It was a 5yd... had they caught it... it would been 15yd, and wrong.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

LOL, this only ever happens AGAINST teams I bet on. Outgaining them like a billion to 20 and about to possibly go down 2 scores. Never on the other end of that, heh.

Saints are giving Vikings a head start.

not really, just wanted to use that smiley

 

[QUEZILLA]

Is Gruden the coach of the Vikes? I don't think Childress got the memo that the Vikes are a running team.

 

[shakeybarn]

for those watching on TV, that dude's haircut in the UPS commercial makes me want to punch him more than that glib snot-nosed Apple slacker.

He grabbed his facemask, PULLED ON IT, and turned his head sideways. That is the definition of a facemask.

The Vikes have definitely had the best of the officiating so far.

Umm...5 yd facemasks dont exist anymore

Well they tried to give him the reception.

All face mask penalties are 15 yards. There is no variety.

 

[analog_hiss]

The roids are going to Ed Hochuli's head in favor of the Vikes this week!!!

WoooHooo!!!

 

[baldgriff]

Um -- a middles screen should be one of the easiest plays to set up than just about any other. Geez the execution is just awful! I mean this offense just never seems to find a rythm

you... are missing the point. it was a 5yd variety. the "personal foul" variety was meant for VICIOUS and purposeful and/or dangerous attempts at a face mask. the defender reached his arm around... realized he had the mask, and INSTANTLY let go. the 15 yd variety was meant for those who don't care, or should know where their hand was going. it's an awful penalty that needs to be revisited in terms of 5 vs 15 yd variety... i've seen it destroy teams.

 

[The Ref]

Vikings wr are B.A.D bad.

that's right!!! i forgot that. a shame, cause they f'd up the difference 75% of the time. seriously. you couldn't get any justice on a horsecollar, but an incidental facemask was treated like an attempt to decapitate a player.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Is it just me, or does it seem like the Vikings ALWAYS go deep on 3rd and 5 or more? Not like 5-10 yards deep, like 25+ deep. It's been like that all year, and they never connect on it either.

I disagree.... the 5 / 15 determination was just way to subjective. Make it a penalty and call it the same no matter how bad it was. Its not like there are varying degrees of holding or pass interference. Keep your hands off the mask - period.

Childress just called Jeff George, time to suit up.

It's because everytime they try a 8 yard curl it hits the WR in the hands and he drops it.

 

[EdwardCat]

1) Frerotte can't throw an accurate pass.

2) The Vikings line can't block.

3) The Viking's receivers can't catch.

The Vikings will finish 5-11 this year. Peterson's numbers will be artificially low.

 

[encaitar]

Only positive thing of that last drive. Peterson had two great blitz pickups. If he continues to excel in pass blocking maybe Childress will keep him in the game more.

That would have been a 15 yard even if the 5 yard was still enforced. Anytime a guys head is turned by pulling ont he face mask it should automatically be a 15 yard penalty. Not sure how the refs missed it but you are incorrect in your analysis on this one.

Then make it a 10 yarder. 15 is ridiculous for some of the weak ones.

"INSTANTLY"?LOL.Yeah, he grabbed it, pulled it, twisted his head to the side, and then "instantly" let go after all that, sure.

the facemask rule was changed this past offseason... all facemasks are 15 yds...

Jeff George plays WR now The issue is not so much the Qb's or lack of.. it's that the receivers on this team have no idea how to catch a ball.

The vikings playcalling is extremely predictable- as a Peterson owner it concerns me greatly. The Saints can almost see the play happening and they are flooding the gaps.

HOLD ON TO THE BALL BUSH!!!
