Did Mr. Invisible play today....Anthony Barr

Post by Purplepain2018 »

The Vikings-Packers game was blacked out in our area so I could not watch the game. The only way to keep up with the Vikings is to go to ESPN and watch in on their game cast simulation. It sounded like the Vikings got stung early in the first quarter by the Packers and could really never recover. After the half, it appears our defense settled down and shut them down. I am hearing from, not only Vikings fans, but a lot of fans are saying how the refs were throwing a lot of phantom offensive holding calls on either the O-line or the receivers.

There is one name that barely was mentioned in the Packers game and I like to call him Mr. Invisible. Mr. Anthony Barr, in a lot of games, will go invisible. He won't make a tackle, a sack, cause a fumble, make a PLAY, and today was one of those games. Did Barr get hurt? This guy could be such an impact player with his size, and athletic ability, but chooses NOT too. Why did we keep this guy?

I know it is only one game, a BIG Division games and against the Packers. The Vikings could have seized the day and had at least a one game lead, but again in big games they usually find ways to lose. It looked a lot like last year.

He played, had a bunch of tackles, but the Vikes didn't blitz much

Often, we only know people played based on the announcers. He was all over the field. Saw several rush packages with him at DE too. He had a good game.

Basically the entire defense was invisible for 1.5 quarters. Aside from Smith. He seems to be the most consistent player on the entire team.

What are you going to do? Just go down the roster and create an entire thread for everybody you think sucked?

We have a thread for postgame thoughts. Try using it.
