Packers Choke In Dome

Depending on what the Packers' record is come the end of the season, these two games against the Vikings may be the 2 most important of the season. Hopefully they'll be in contention near the end of the season, so these games are only important for morale.

What I think? The Vikings are a much better team then the Packers, or at least they looked like it tonight. Adrian Peterson was free to run wherever he wanted early in the game...late they picked that up, Favre was given as much time as he wanted to throw, and the receivers were free to roam in the secondary. They made our defense look silly. Sustained drive after sustained drive, I didn't see much from the defense that I liked, outside of a Clay Matthews forced fumble for a touchdown. By the way, you need to work on getting off the field. Your 3rd down defense was the biggest joke ever.

Don't even get me started on the offense. Okay get me started.
1. When you get the ball 2nd and goal on the 1.. you have to score.
2. Donald Lee.. catch the ball. Jermicheal Finley would've caught that.
3. Thanks a lot for deciding that turnovers are okay for this game.
4. Someone send out a search party for the offensive line. They've been missing since the preseason. I think some high school tackles could play better.
5. Rodgers, learn to throw the ball away... yes, your line sucks, but you have
6. Ryan Grant.. where are you?
7. I know that Tyrell Sutton wasn't good at picking up the blitz, but no one is.. I would've rather seen him out their than No-Gain Grant.
8. Yes I know the offensive line sucking has a direct effect on Grant sucking, but I really hate he got that big contract to average barely over 3 yards a carry
9. Can we try....just once... to not commit penalties on every single one of our big plays?
10. You deserve to lose when you can't even get the ball off the 1 yard line.
11. McCarthy, it was really funny when you challenged that play and we got a safety. Cool story brah.
12. I don't think I've ever been this disappointed in this team.

As odd as it sounds, I'm honestly better with the challenging giving them the safety, otherwise it's Vikings ball on the one and they go up three scores...yea the Packers were down 16, but that's better than 21.

That line was terrible, I'm gonna go up to Green Bay tomorrow, I'm expecting they'll be holding open tryouts for someone that'll give some time for the backfield...that would have helped tonight.

You're right, that was a good challenge. I might have been a little angry when I wrote this. Surprising, I know.

... so apparently GB had Tauscher in for workouts and a signing is imminent. I guess the O-line had to get absolutely mauled before TT would do anything...

MN is good. VERY good. Our line is not good, but far better lines have looked silly at the hands of Williams squared and Jared Allen... throw in Greenway, Henderson, Winfield, etc.... that's a good defense. On offense they have the best RB in the game, and a "pretty good" QB. Plus a damn good line.

Despite being less talented and making a lot mistakes... we had a chance. That gives me hope.

P.S. Great phantom PI call on Woodson. Al Harris and I are glad the refs diversified.

I think the Packers' defense played very well against Peterson. I say that because how many times did Peterson rush over a hundred yards against the Packers and they could not stop him. Now the Packers' defense knew now how to stop Peterson from killing the Packers' defense up. Jermichael Finley had a break out game. If Jermichael could keep this going he could turn out to be another great tight end. I mean he become another Keith Jackson for the Packers. I hope that Mark Tauscher could be health so he can come back a play and help the Packers' offensive out.
