Really - are you going to complain about calls / no calls on almost every play? Contact was close but it was above the knee - not enough for a penalty IMO. Also no need to triple post it.

Asiata is getting pretty good penetration. Just run him down the gut every play. Probably wouldn't turn it over, and if we used all 4 downs, I'd back him to ave more than 2.5 yards a carry.

Literally, that's all I've got.

2am here. Got to be up at 7.30am. Go to bed now?

Packers are getting away holding on every one of those runs. Don't know why the refs aren't calling it, but the holds are obvious.

Once again, the refs don't call penaltys on the NFL Darling packers when we play them. This is mandated by NFL mngm't

Rain/snow always favor the offense. Vikings just don't have the quarterback to take advantage. Stupid.

That was a tough ball to handle.

Ponder does suck though...

I hear ya. On their punts too, there's clearly a Packer grabbing our guy's jersey but it'll never be called.

Terrible mechanics again by Ponder on that simple out route.
