Game 1: Packers @ Vikings - Sunday, September 13th, Noon

That really sucks, had them on the ropes and they were really giving up but gave up the big draw. Crappy penalty but they were in FG range anyway

 

He made a 50 yard kick 35 yards. It was a huge penalty.

[homer]

Great half other than that drive though. Offense (and Rodgers) look good.

Indoors but I am not sure about their kicker. But sure he may have missed it just saying they were still going to kick it and it was still like 70%?

 

 

Rodgers looking good, leaning on Adams too much but the guy knows how to get open. Especially like those darts on the 2 TD's.

Meh, I’m not going to complain about 22-10 at half.

If King doesn't bust contain on that run it would have been irrelevant.

Letting cook get outside is really what triggered that drive.

[nodakfan17]

Don’t underestimate the impact of winning the coin toss. It’s the equivalent of a Packers’ turnover today.

[adambr2]

This team just cannot stop the run.

[homer]

Clark is out. Good luck stopping the run game now.

[HiAndTight]

Probably didn’t need to hit him, but that’s a tacky penalty. Helmet never really made contact.

 

 

Yeah, that kinda is. Savage is flying over there at full speed and is getting ready to hit Rudolph as he goes down. But a lot of these penalties are pretty ticky tack penalties. I've definitely seen much-much worse.

 

Really the only area of concern thus far for me is those 3 DL. Lancaster and Lowry looked just laughably bad on the short TD run by Cook. I don't know what Lancaster did, but he linedup in a 4 point stand and then just flopped to his belly...go back and watch that. It was as bad as of an effort as I can remember in a short yardage situation.

 

And on D, Kenny Clark. He went to the half when the Packers had the ball, but that's still a giant question mark. He's dominated so far. He's the guy this D can least afford to lose.

10 yds a pop on the ground. This wont end well.

[lcbj68c]

Please blitz on 3rd and 16. Please?

[homer]

Hockenson looks like he might be a problem for a while.

Score here and you start to take their run game out of the equation. Playing with the lead a big factor.

[HiAndTight]

Really stupid there. Very lucky they didn't get hit with a penalty. That could have really swung the momentum.

[wildcat83]

Hockenson looks like he might be a problem for a while.

 

See Cephus has a couple grabs as well.

[PinaMadness]

You would think Progressive would cut their losses with Baker Mayfield.

[HiAndTight]

You would think Progressive would cut their losses with Baker Mayfield.

 

 

I still have no idea how good Mayfield's gonna be. I think he can be productive...he was as a rookie, but then they went with Kitchens last year and he didn'r really have a chance.

 

I'd give him one more season if I had an investment in him. It's not like he's Johnny Football and already proven to be a complete clown.

[adambr2]

MVS. Gotta make that catch. That's literally a turnover.

[HarveysWBs]

That’s an absolutely brutal drop. Chance to put the Vikings to bed and can’t convert that.

[PinaMadness]

Keep your eye on the ball, MVS.

[MrTPlush]

Brutal. You already are past the first down...make the catch first man.

[OldHeidelberg]

Oof. MVS meet Rodgers doghouse

He's not off to a good start this year.

[wildcat83]

Brutal drop on a drive that could’ve been a knockout punch. Let’s their D off the field.

[HiAndTight]

MVS. Gotta make that catch. That's literally a turnover.

 

That's what's stopping him from being a difference-maker. He made plenty of big plays early last year but couldn't make the routine plays often enough. Then he lost his confidence and Rodgers lost confidence in him.

 

It's just one play this year, and one that even good WR'ers will bungle every once in a while thinking about running after the catch, but it's a big one. Hopefully, they come back to him next series.
