Now I want to reflect on last night's game... Viking fans are already being too hard on Jackson about the game last night. I thought he was OK. Remember he only played 2 quarters all pre-season and missed the final two pre-season games. He was rusty in the first half and coach Childress was so damn conservative early. The second half he was good until his final throw.. He was under constant pressure. How many hits did he take?? The running game was non existent in the second half and the wide outs are a joke. Also it kills me to say this but Green Bay is a damn good football team with or without Favre. Rodgers will be OK in this system ....
The Vikes gave up 3 BIG plays. A deep ball to Jennings, A long run by Grant, and a punt return. Now on the flip side the Vikes had chances at big plays .. Sharper could have recovered a first quarter fumble had he jumped on the ball instead of trying to run with it... The Vikings sacked Rodgers at the 11 yard line to make it 3rd and goal but someone made a penalty... And the Vikes hit Berrian on a slant and just got tripped up enough to not go the distance.... Then of course the INT at the end of the game.. Just like I said the Pack have all the intangibles at home and I think the VIkes will get them at home this year..
Now for the REFS.. WTF were they doing last night? Bad for both sides,. They called so many chincy calls and missed some blatant ones. The pack blantantly interfered with the Vikes twice I mean BLATANT and then they call the Pack for a ticky tack interference.
How many times did they call the pack for holding. The one with 2:29 to go was obvious but the others I don't know. How about the TD called back was that lineman really 5 yards down field? Didn't see any replay but that is hard to believe that he would be down that far downfield on that quick of a pass play.
So all in all I think the Vikes will be OK and watch for my preview vs. the Colts. Hint: I think the Colts are in big trouble.
