[Pugger]

Even the Finley detractors have to give the dude some credit for today

He had a nice game today.

IMO Capers called the correct defenses and blitzes but the players failed to perform.

Many AP yards came after the running lanes were clogged. AP bounced it outside while the secondary whiffed.

Hayward made a mistake and should have played deeper -- rookie mistake.

Why all the hate for Buckman and Aikman -- they both favor the Packers and provide good insights.

Nice to see the troll patrol out tonight.

Raji always pointing that one finger like he's telling the Vikes not to run on them; that's bullshit.....this is a guy who just ran 160 on you

At least the shit didn't get the record. Missed it by nine damn yards.

Looks like we are the late game at 7pm Central on NBC. Thank God I don't have to listen to that moron Aikman or that metrosexual announcer Joe Buck. How those two doofs can be a number one broadcast team is beyond me.

Defense clearly needs to play better. If Christian Ponder can bet a 100+ QB rating on us, that's shameful. We tackle better, that screen to Gerhart doesn't get anywhere and Peterson gets reasonably controlled.

Obviously want to go as far as possible in the playoffs, but this team needs to win a home playoff game, especially since it's against the Queens.

Williams penalty on the 3rd down stop was inexcusable.

7 PM? HELL YEAH I should be able to watch this now!

Williams wiffed, or in once instance decided not to engage an attempt a tackle. He figured he'd let him go and chase him from behind. Williams played a shit game. his grade should be just a big flaming bag of turds. I hope he's embarrassed watching the film.

We cannot lose next weekend because that would make for an unbearable off season.

Holy Cow I cannot imagine that.

If the defense is gonna have a crappy game I'd rather it be TODAY rather than in the playoffs. We did pretty well the last time we didn't get a bye...

I'd love to see the game film isolated on those two players. It appears that Williams just flat out lost his cool. He needed his emotions reigned in a wee bit.

LOL!

It would be easy to argue that Tramon cost them this one. He was a disaster.

AD?

Okay, Packer fan

AD = All Day

I am starting to wonder that Dom didn't want to empty his whole playbook in case we lost and had to play them again next week. To me that is horrible logic but against TENN we were blitzing like crazy and then this week we played off a lot.

It makes sense.

[pbmax]

Dom Capers strikes again!!!

God love him... 2:00 minutes left, 3rd and 11, and he calls his default defense - rush 3 and cover no one, lol...

A tiger doesn't change his stripes... the man can't be trusted

Packer loss, bad beat on 3 man rush, here comes the one hit wonder!

Funny how he never comments when 3 man rush works. His work schedule must vary a lot.

On that play, the 3 down lineman defense would have worked, but Hayward abandoned his area, I don't know why, maybe he was afraid Ponder was going to run, but, I think he was responsible for covering the Viking WR that ending up catching the pass. Nobody was close to him, easy pitch and catch for a big gain. Should have never happened.

Hayward has the short zone as well, so he can't abandon it completely, but they ran no one into that area. The other receiver on that side ran deep and caught the attention of the other CB and safety.

But you know its third and forever. A catch in front of you is EXACTLY what you want. You have to think deep first. And when no one threatens short, you keep getting deeper.
