Impressive and just interesting things from Viking game

[Patler]

First and foremost, not letting AP take over the game, and doing it with three starting linebackers not even dressed for the game. Going into the game with backup outside linebackers, one an undrafted rookie and the other a converted lineman playing his 7th game as a linebacker, and a ILB who was the backup to the backup had the potential for disaster. They didn't shut him down completely, but they kept him under control.

Just shows how good this D-line is playing this year.

Ya, that is a significant part of it; but the LBs still had to make plays, too; either making the actual tackle and not getting juked out of their jocks, or filling areas to direct AP where they wanted him. I had visions of Neal and Malumba sprawled on the ground grasp at AP's shadow.

Also like to point out the 3rd and one jumbo play call was horrible, defense committed to the run the whole way. For a team that is known for passing the ball on third and short why not line up in a more pass friendly formation keeping the defense guessing? I mean you can still run the pass but at least the defense would still have to think about Rodgers passing pre snap.

Well thats just good coaching by Kevin Greene.

The non-verbals say it all. Jordy would rather be anywhere but there.

I guess I'll give some props to Mike Daniels since no one else will but keep praising Hawk for his mediocre games.

I loved the Daniels pick out of Iowa. Another TT classic pick: smart,motor guy who loves the game and has a history of bringing his best during big games.

Is that Jennings hanging on to the only ball he caught all game?

[King Friday]

He should be asking Jordy to sign that ball for him...or his sister.

I think that's time I've seen Jordy not smiling.

The stone faces of all the players Greg sought out after the game told me all I needed to know. I also heard he ducked out of the Queens' locker room and didn't face reporters later on. What a fake.

Such a shame how players can change. I always thought of Jennings as Driver II - personality wise. Always smiling, family man, humble, thankful for the opportunity. A couple years ago, I would have laid money down that he would be a Packer for life.

I haven't watched the post-game interactions yet - I turned the game off once the Packers were guaranteed the win. But from what everyone is saying, sounds like Jennings really burned some bridges on his way out.
