Patriots @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 2

[J. Kapp 11]

Let the Pats score more...the worse the score, the more the embarrassment, the bigger the incentive to turn it around!

Addendum: Not much changes after this game. Those who support Cassel as the current starter will point to the entire offense blowing! Those who want him gone will scream Teddy.

...wisdom

I don't know, man.

I don't support Cassel or not support him. I thought he deserved to be the incumbent starter, and that seems to be the consensus of many people who appear to be in the support category. But play like today ain't gonna get it done, and I don't think anybody would deny that. It starts with the quarterback. If Zimmer and Turner said, "Let's go with Bridgewater," I don't think a lot of people would be all that upset.

Kalil and Johnson, players of the game.

And cassel

[S197]

Hmm Cassel gets sacked and his lineman don't even help him up, Kalil just standing over him. I'd like to see them stay a team till the end, that wasn't good.

Bye Jenny

[J. Kapp 11]

Fouts is clueless - he thinks just because the ball was across the goal line you don't need both feet down!

Trade Fouts for Jenny Dell.

Bye Jenny

I want to die and come back as a necklace.

True that.
and I really don't want to see them yanking QBs after one bad game under their staff

[Raptorman]

Well. Look at the bright side. The Defense only gave up 2 TDs. One from the 1 yard line after the INT.

[PurpleKoolaid]

At least Peffier will be back soon.

More importantly the other players on the team will be questioning it .

[J. Kapp 11]

Wow. Just saw the final stats on NFL.com.

Total yards:

New England 292
Vikings 217

Are you kidding me? Less than 300 yards surrendered, but 30 points?

And the offense ... 217 yards? After 80 yards on the opening drive, that's 137 for the rest of the game. Downright offensive.
