Vikings @ Rams Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 1

[frosted]

Great half, all things considered. Let's be honest, we knew the Rams defensive line would give us fits, but I am SO impressed by our defense so far. Let's finish this game in the 2nd half!

Bears still losing 17-7 to the Bills!

[Just Me]

Nice way to end the half.



Let's finish them off the second half.

oline struggling a bit against this D is to be a bit expected. Nice job overall, NOW MAKE ADJUSTMENTS, something we haven't seen since before the childress era

[Funkytown]

Great pic, Just Me! Wow!

[Hunter Morrow]

We got stripped ball sack and then an interception into a touchdown pass that was a nice playcall to Jennings.

There is improvement on both sides of the ball.
Turner and Zimmer are better than Frazier and Musgrave.

[Canuck]

this is what happend last year too guys, it was the terrible 2nd half we choked on, so lets wait and see where this goes

NFCN Update...

Packers already lost by 20, Bears are losing by 10 to the Bills.

[Rieux]

FIRE CASSEL!

100 yards, touchdown, no picks or fumbles...

That (extrapolated over a full game) is good enough to win if the defense suffocates the opposition.

Like several others here, I'd like to see Cassel get a chance to throw more downfield passes to Patterson and Rudolph in the second half. This offensive performance isn't going to be good enough against New England, New Orleans, Green Bay, or Chicago.

Anyone watching the redzone? Seems like they're showing the entire Patriots game.

What's on the NFL CHANNEL ? Peyton Manning, Tom brady, Tony Romo, and the packers make up 85% of their program time. I'm watching it less and less. The NFL channel is not about NFL coverage, it's about making stars and selling t Shirts

[Hunter Morrow]

This is one of the dirtiest things I've ever seen on the internet. I hope the guy is suspended for 4 games...

[Mridens]

effing great. I left after we kicked inside 2 minutes

[Rieux]

I thought the same thing at first, but isn't he just trying to hurdle over the defender? Was there a penalty on the play?

I think it was unintentional, too. Ends up looking pretty bad on replay, though.

Seems like we were inside the 15 yd line on every drive sans one in the first half. Tough to utilize the passing game under those circumstances. The D has held us in there so far. Hopefully we get a leg up on field position in the second half
