Vikings @ Packers Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 5

[Superman]

I have yet to see Robison make any play this season that wasn't wrapped up in Christmas paper with a bow on it for him.

[mossbutt]

Zimmer and Norv must be thinking, holy jesus what the hell did we get ourselves into.

[Laserman]

wow, bet they hang 50 plus on us in a shutout

[me4get]

holding on the TD again, grabbing the jersey outside the shoulder

[Purple Reign]

#3? The only player allowed to have a single digit is the QB? NFL drama queen doesn't wear 3

pay the ref more!

Wow - the refs call a penalty on GB and still get criticized for it.

[VikingLord]

This ^^^^ exactly! Teddy makes quick decisions and gets rid of the ball. Ponder ponders his options until he has none.

Bridgewater just keeps his eyes down the field, moves just enough to escape pressure, and keeps his legs solid under him when he does throw.

Ponder does none of the above. He locks onto a single receiver, when he moves, he moves whether there is pressure or not, and his mechanics are horrific for a QB at any level, much less at the pro level.

Zimmer and Norv must be thinking, holy jesus what the hell did we get ourselves into.

Pretty much.

[John_Viveiros]

Didn't see that pass interference.

And then Robison falls his contain role. Hey. At least Zimmer will have stuff to coach.

[mossbutt]

wow, bet they hang 50 plus on us in a shutout

Not taking that bet.

[yezzir]

He needs to be released. I don't even want him to be one of our "options" in emergency situations.

[me4get]

Didn't see that pass interference.

And then Robison falls his contain role. Hey. At least Zimmer will have stuff to coach.

BS PI call. both players where hand checking.

[Purple Reign]

Hey ZIMMER, Robison, Floyd, Fat guy with a bullet in his leg, Griffen, AREN'T THE PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS! BLITZ ON THIRD DOWN! BRING MORE THAN FOUR!

Haven't you been watching? They have been blitzing on occasion but they are getting burned when they do.

[TeddyB]

Wow - the refs call a penalty on GB and still get criticized for it.

Yay more devils advocate

Sorry that a guy being paid good money can't know simple logic about his job it's like working for the post office and not knowing they don't deliver on Sundays

[PurpleMustReign]

So which is more likely - that the line played a single good game against the Falcons when Bridgewater started, or that Bridgewater's play suddenly made that same line look good?

I just don't buy it - the QB is everything in modern pro football. You get competent QB play and everyone looks good. You get crap at QB and everyone looks bad.

Let's see how this same line compares the next time Bridgewater gets the start. I'm going way out on a limb here and will say they will look every bit as impressive as they did against the Falcons.

I Agree. When the QB does what he is supposed to, everyone looks better.

[VikingLord]

Robison played SLOPPY on that TD run. He wasn't blocked, just jogged over towards where he assumed the play would end, and then got burned for it.

There's one of your non-warriors Zimmer...
