I think we may have something in Grant.

Kind of late to the party, aren't ya?

Here's a fresh take: Grant kinda reminds me of Dorsey Levens.

Uhhhh.....well......I've been kinda busy, and have fallen behind the required reading. Is there a thread you'd like to direct me to?

Outstanding thread.

Pretty obvious that Colledge played a much better game. I didn't key on him much when watching the game, but when I did it seemed like Fat Pat was lining up directly over center a high percentage of the time, leaving Colledge untouched at the snap. Which left him looking for people to block. Odd game plan by the Vikes - I would have gone right after Colledge.

I did notice that on Favre's first TD pass, the Vikings defense was obviously geared to stop a run up the gut, and Colledge and to a lesser extent Clifton got absolutely owned at the line of scrimmage. A run on that play would have gotten nowhere.

So the question is, what happened in the second half? Did the queens suddenly realize that the Packers had a running game and make some adjustments? Would have been nice if we could have done a little better job in the second half.

I don't think it was the realization that we suddenly had a running game. It was more that they realized we had a 20 point lead and would like run the ball more, so they played the run more.
