Re: New RB rule
What a dumb rule :steamed: No more RBs bulling ahead for that extra yard or two. No more lowering your head and slamming into that line to push your way into the endzone. This is a HUGE move that could really change the game. There will undoubtedly be some unforeseen consequences if this goes throu...

Re: Adam Shefter says Greg Jennings is a Viking!
So what's your strategy then? What would you do to improve the offense with what was available? Not having a QB like Brees, who can make any avg receivers look great, we have Ponder who needs weapons to thrive. We all saw what Jennings is capable of when we played him the last two games including t...

Re: Adam Shefter says Greg Jennings is a Viking!
Jennings is overrated. Was never a big fan of him. He's a second tier receiver at best, and he's never been a physical match-up problem. He's had fall of fame quarterbacks throwing him the ball in a pass-happy offense since the day he entered the league. He can't stay healthy, and he turns 30 this y...

Re: Adam Shefter says Greg Jennings is a Viking!
I guess you guys are right. It was a waste signing and we're better off with what we had. :roll: The Vikings needed to improve WR, but this signing is stupid. They spent huge money, and it doesn't really fix anything. You don't spend money just for the sake of spending money. It's better to leave a...

Re: Adam Shefter says Greg Jennings is a Viking!
So you're saying it wont help Ponder to have a WR that is in the position he is supposed to be when the ball is released? Correct. Because Ponder is not a strong-armed, on-time passer, and he can't throw receivers open. A Brandon Marshall type would do great things for Ponder. A Jennings type is wa...

Re: Adam Shefter says Greg Jennings is a Viking!
Article on the signing: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/mike-freeman/21885927/jennings-chases-vikings-cash-and-his-career-will-suffer-for-it So Jennings made the classic decision. He got his money but his career is all down hill from here. The Packers will continue to fight for Super Bowls and Jen...

Re: Adam Shefter says Greg Jennings is a Viking!
Waste of money. Jennings is a crisp fluid route-runner that needs timely, accurate passes. He's not a physical match-up that can fight and overcome defenders and snatch poorly thrown balls. The latter is what Ponder needed; the former will be completely wasted on Ponder. Jennings will never break 1,...

Re: No respect for the 49ers
What the hell are you guys talking about? http://espn.go.com/nfl/picks It's a straight 50/50 split on the game. Which makes sense, since the line is basically a push. Kaepernick brings uncertainty to the table, and, with all due respect to their win over the Patriots, they finished the season lookin...

Re: Vikings screwed by refs
Ah yes. The old "since we do it, you must do it to" argument. Solid. Pelissero's take: Clearly the refs were letting the Vikings do it too. Because, you know, it just feels like that's something that happened. They couldn't have played a cleaner game. Every offensive line holds. Go back a...

Re: Vikings screwed by refs
Pelissero tweeted during his film review "his did Newhouse never get called for holding?" This was same officiating crew who did the 2010 lambeau match up who overturned Shiancoe's TD catch and have Andrew Quarless a bogus TD. Lol yes, because I'm sure the Vikings offensive line never got...

Re: Vikings screwed by refs
New England and Packers, and to a lesser extent the Steelers and Saints, have no arguments against the officiating, for at least the next ten years. Ravens were also playing dirty yesterday, with several uncalled facemasks, and head shots. I think the problem is way too many rules, way too many jud...

Re: Vikings screwed by refs
But its the Packers. And no one on earth can say, with a straight face, that Packers dont get the majority of the calls (or no calls). Period. Its a fact, its has nothing to do with being a homer. No, that's exactly what it is. You're a homer. In 2012, Green Bay had 103 penalties; Minnesota had 90....

Re: The Jones Fumble/McCarthy Red Flag Call
There shouldn't be a Regular Rulebook and a Packers Rulebook. Lol, I guess I shouldn't have expected a reasonable discussion. What a dumbass thing to say. The rule was interpreted "correctly" in both cases. If the play has already been buzzed for review, you can't "cancel" the r...

Re: The Jones Fumble/McCarthy Red Flag Call
I'm not sure how it actually came about but there were two reviews of a play. My recollection was that the booth conducted a review on the scoring play and then a challenge ensued. IIRC the challange dealt with a different part of the play (still pertaining to the same play, however) and then the u...

Re: The Jones Fumble/McCarthy Red Flag Call
I read the page you linked, and the pages before and after, but I wasn't able to put together a whole picture of what happened. Can you recap? I'm genuinely curious.Just Me wrote: Then how did they do it in Chicago (during our first meeting with the Bears)? See Gameday Thread
