More Banjo: Week 2 vs. Minnesota

[channtheman]

I was really down for this signing; but I'll say the obvious

Right now Jimmy Graham Sucks; he can't get open. He's not fast enough and he doesn't run good enough patterns. We are short a weapon on offense. Allison is not a #2. MVS and the other WR's need time to develop.

The HOCK was the prefect first round draft pick but he was gone so we got stuck with Shary

And AROD has to lead Aaron Jones on that pass. That should have been a TD and then it would have been game over.

Instead it took Viking incompetence to sneak out a win where the offense sleepwalked through the entire second half

Yes on the Arod throw.

Edit: And I agree about Graham too. I really liked the signing and had high hopes, but he's been a total dud for us.

Sandcrawler, yep.

edit: Filthy Jawas!

Can't abide those creatures. Vikings or Jawas.

I would actually rather see Lewis get more snaps than Graham. Lewis is at least a decent blocker.

Ryan Clark @Realrclark25
Darnell Savage reminds me of a young Earl Thomas. I’m nervous to say this because E will be a HOFamer but this kid can flat out go


I *think* this is actually Ryan Clark, former Steelers safety. Running mate with Polamalu.

Not only was Raven Greene injured today but Darnell Savage walked out of the locker room in a boot. Could be merely precautionary - who knows.

The number is correct

Vikings were 1st team to have a TD cancelled bc of the new replay review on PI. Dalvin Cook was called for OPI for "clear & obvious" contact on S Darnell Savage while ball was still in air.
Savage's suggestion: "I mean, you could run the actual route."

I like this kid.

Guided Missile™! Don't like to see the boot. That's like having the lid locked on the missile launch tube.

Guided Missile™ Savage has the most updated tracking systems. He knows defective software when he sees it.

1. If Rashan Gary misses, Darnell Savage is gonna make it okay. He looks like a star in the making.

2. Dalvin Cook is really good. Aaron Jones is really good.

3. The NFC looks stacked this year. All three teams in the NFCN look legit, and Seattle, Dallas looks even better. How is Dallas going to pay everybody? Talk about a first world problem. They built too good of a roster, lol.

4. Remember when people would say sprinters and speedsters didn't really have a role in the league outside of deep routes? Y'all think these homies ever played Madden? It seems like every week there is a huge play broken by somebody just outrunning everybody with 4.3 speed. Route running is important, but I think a team has a huge advantage if they have at least one 4.2, 4.3 guy that can just explode. Packers should bring in Theodore Ginn for a look.

That's quite a drop for Williams. It seems smart. He's lost speed and if they want him around for the season, he can't play every snap like last year. Also, more importantly, they have better cover guys than him and Minnesota doesn't really have depth at WR. More concerned about Cook running by him (or anyone else), the TE, than covering a slot guy.


I was disappointed to see Davis only got 4 snaps and no targets.

Worst decision of entire game might have been Graham blocking Hunter straight up, but Rodgers running that fourth down as a quick first down is right up there.

[pbmax]

I can't watch plays like this and think Rodgers is done physically. His speed to the outside seems a bit better this year. Being healthy probably the biggest factor.
