NFC North QB Race 2009

[The Shadow]

I think both offenses you know what you get, and thus it will be which defense plays better.

PIT might beg to differ, because one of these two offenses coughed up 14 4th quarter points for the opposition this week.

Yeah but they were both pretty fluke plays. The backup RB drops a screen pass, not just drops it, but tips it up in the air to be picked: the other the guy barely got his hand on the ball, but just enough.

It was fluke plays. You forget: Both of those plays the vikes were driving the field. You know what you get, and sometiems the ball doesn't bounce your way.

Of course........

Vikes had a TD, on the possesion of the fumble return, that got called back. You needed to actually watch the game to understand really how close that game was, and how lucky pitt was it got the bounces. The vikings had them beat/tied game twice in the last 6 minutes. One got called back, the other took a bad hop (the pick) off the reciever's hands when they were already in FG range to tie.

Just saying, gotta watch the game. I would say the same thing if it happened to us.

MN had their fair share of luck in that game. You conveniently left out Mendenhall's fumble inside the 5 on a drive that would have sealed it.

Like you said - you had to watch the game.

Yep. Good thing Favre threw it a foot over Taylor's head from 5 yards away for no reason. I don't think it was even a screen pass. Looked like Favre got nervous because of the left end and checked it down to the RB behind the line of scrimmage, even though there was no real pressure.

Personally, I blame Percy Harvin for Brent's INT. If he wouldn't have scored a TD on the kickoff return, the game would have already been over from Brent's lost fumble for TD. Stupid Percy.

It makes you question if that was the kind of chemistry thing Taylor and Favre could of worked out if Brett hadn't played training camp hooky.

I almost forgot the kick return touchdown. Yeah, I don't see how you think the Vikings were any more unlucky than PIT was in that game.

I get that you watched the game, but next time try watching without your number 4 jersey on.

The pick falls squarely on Bert's shoulder. The throw was early and over his head. Try standing 5 yards from someone and have them throw it over your head and turn around just as its thrown and see if you can catch it.

Certain posters want to conveniently forget Bert's non tackle. Mere weeks after Bert is being glorified for running down the field and laying a hit, Bert flails and flops like some sorta soccer player from Copenhagen.

Or a silly Swedish schoolgirl.

You are absolutely right on point 1; that pick is on Favre. Catchable, but very poor throw and reality is your "Bert" had more time to sit back there and let somebody get open but he got happy feet.

I don't see many posters forgetting the non tackle. Because one does not rip in him, does that mean they forget a bad play ? Or are they just not in the good gang that rips him for it ? If we don't mention all of Erin's bad plays does that mean we forget them as well ?

Who is better? Copenhagen soccer players or swedish schoolchildren?

The amount of glorification in this forum was 10 fold more than the posts about the flop. Hence, "forgetting." Forgetting is a kind way of saying selective use of Favre.

P.S. What has Aaron done to deserve Erin? We know what Bert did. But, to attack your own QB. Pretty low for a packer fan.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Swedish fish.

Interestingly, Ty ate a bag of those yesterday. Ty loves the swedish fish. Ty is a big fan of the jelly/gummi family of candies.

[MJZiggy]

What were those white brachs things with the little blobs of jelly in them? Sounds disgusting, I know, but yum.
