Vikings At Packers, Fourth Quarter Thread

PrintThe third quarter started out pretty ugly for the Vikings, but they're still within a score of taking the lead back.
The Packers scored after a Brett Favre interception gave them great field position at the Minnesota 40 on a 14-yard pass to Greg Jennings to take the lead. Then, on Favre's next pass, linebacker Desmond Bishop grabbed an interception and took it 32 yards for a score and a 28-17 Packer advantage.
The Vikings did answer back, though, on a drive that concluded with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Randy Moss, and that gives us the score we have now at 28-24.
It's the fourth quarter, folks. . .if you've been here this whole time, don't bail out now!

Problem was Favre is too fixed on Harvin
The D is expecting him to go to Percy on 3rd down.
No need to keep pounding the ball, or setting up Percy in the backfield....
time to throw another fing pick!!!!!!!
I don't know
if that was on favre…collins made a crazy pick..

Favre could have picked a better option but I put that pick more on Collins talent than Favres screwup.

How much is he making this year, #4?

Yes and no.
I mean, you get away with PI in the end zone on a go ahead play, that’s pretty much backbreaking right there.
The refs alwasy gives games to the pack in greenbay
that is why you have to blow them out. Never have a close game in Green bay
They didn't dictate the end of this game.
They dictated the middle

Well... You can say that it was a hell of ball-game!
Sucks though about how harvin couldn’t keep two feet in bounds.
Pretty difficult
when you’re hit well before you even have the ball.
hard to do that
when you get shoved before you catch the ball.
Ah well guys.
The immortal Brett Favre didn’t come true.
T-Var time, or no?
And why the hell are these guys booing because Brett and his former teammate hugged? That’s dumb. Lol
"Once again the trousers of evil are yanked down by the mocking hands of justice!"-Revshawn
Honestly...
I think it should be T-Var time. We win when we don’t give the game away on offense. The Defense, despite its lack of sacks, is tough enough to hang with anyone. We’re just shooting ourselves in teh foot here. Honestly, I think Favre is hurting more than helping right now.
Actually
the D-line is pretty crap these days. It’s so disappointing after the way they got after the QB last year. :(
And the long season continues for us.
What a shame – had these chumps beat, too. Definitely NOT the same team this year. Not sure who beat us more, though, the shitty refs or the uneven O-line and D-line. Someone call Jared Allen and the rest of the D-line and remind them what a “sack” is and how to nab one during a game. \:(
It's hard to be annoyed with Favre, really...
…we went down to get force him to come play for us, so no griping about any problems he’s having now. It wouldn’t be terribly fair, imho. At least we put ourselves in position to win. We’ll spank their ref-paying a$$e$ when they come here, that’s for darn sure.
We couldnt win depsite of brad childress I AM SICK OF HIS MISTAKES
1) Go for 1 down 5, uh hello??
2) Dont challenge the obvious incomplete in the 1st qtr
3) Let the clock run out in the 1st half like that
I AM SICK JUST SICK OF The totally unprepared JERK
Was it obvious? Really?
‘Cause I didn’t realize it until the announcers replayed it a few times. I’m willing to bet alot of people didn’t either. Yes, the Packers got away with it. But that’s in hind-sight.
Chills challenges the TD.......
might result in 3 points or less, Shank gets the TD, different game.
Even if he gets that 3 points,
You get the field goal to win it.

for not taking sacks. You’re getting hit anyway, take the loss!

Well...
…he could also just throw it away, too. Still, in the end, they should NOT be getting to him like they are. O-line needs serious work and/or revamping at some point in the near future. They’re worse than last year, at times, if that’s even possible. \:(
well the playcalling was good
for once man the playcalling was really good, the defense was umm dissapointnin, and childress shouldve chalenged the td…… childeress made one mistake, also the refs shouldve left shank td alone….i dont know mann
this game ripped my heart out… i dont care if we make the playoffs as along as we beat the pack
Playcalling was horrible at first
I was almost ready to turn off the game at that point. The defense, I thought, did pretty good. Rodgers doesn’t typically throw picks, and we got 2. We bent, but we didn’t break. If Favre didn’t throw 3 ints, the D would have done enough to secure us the victory.
Again, this game came to turn overs, just like our other losses have. And the culprit is Favre.
Want to buy a pass interference
on Harvin?
He was shoved well before the ball even got to him, hence why he was out of bounds.
Clay Mathews hucks off his helmet in mid-play, and nothing?
What a joke.
yeah
I thought that was supposed to be a penalty

That is one of the teams that will leave to go to LA
Magic Johnson is getting ready to move a team out there
Can someone explain the actual ruling on the Shiancoe overruling?
I was almost positive that you don’t need to have the hands under the ball in order for it to be a catch. The ground did NOT help him catch the pass. He clearly had full possession of the ball the entire way, so why was it over turned? Am I completely off on my understanding of the rule?
i dont know anymoreee
they should just change the rule to common sense….if a td looks like a td then it is a td.
by eltwentyone on Oct 24, 2010 10:42 PM CDT up reply actions
I thought the rule was changed for exactly the same type of catch made.....
during the Rams Titans Super Bowl. I do not recall the specifics, but, I think it was a third down pass for a first that was overturned.
The ref ruled that he used the ground to help him maintain possession of the pass
Basically, they said he trapped it. The rule is that the ball can touch the ground, as long as it has already been secured. The call on the field was that he was only able to secure the pass, because he trapped it first. Not saying it was a good call at all, because it wasnt. Just trying to explain the rule and the call
In my years of watching the NFL
I’ve rarely seen them NOT call it incomplete (despite the newer rule) once they see part of it has hit the ground. It’s retarded and makes you ask what the point is of having the newer ruling if they’re just going to call that pass incomplete. Awful home-town call. Trite as it may be, the Refs were simply awful tonight. Totally home-town.
They will start of with one 1st
Magic will be the owner
Collinsworth
That’s the way that he interpreted the call coming from the refs. Take that field goal and give us the TD and we win the game AGAIN at the wire, 31-28
The true root of the problem!
Brad Childress and Brett Favre are this teams problem. We would have just as many wins, if not more, with Jackson and my son’s Pop Warner coach. These two have made our team less than mediocre. This is coming from a life long Vikings fan. I am so disappointed.
Sadly it's not really Favre
though he shares some minute blame. It’s not even so much Chilly, either, though he’s looked particularly clueless as of late. It’s simply the O-line and D-lines. They’re inconsistent at best and the D-line is actually downright so-so this year (if that). \:(
Well we lost
stop Complaining people. Yes it sucks but crying about it isn’t going to change anything. BTW the Packers still Suck.

I have a feeling there will be some messages from the league this week that Shank’s TD was supposed to be a TD and there was supposed to be a penalty.

There was a reason he took his helmet off…Harvin had both his hands to his helmet when he chipped on him off the line of scrimmage. After that his helmet was halfway up his head. Illegal hands to the helmet could have just as easily been called.

One game out of the loss column.....
the Bears suck, the Packers are an illusion, but, we MUST beat New England!!!!
....
Not very likely, especially after seeing tonight’s woeful performance (woeful in some key areas, anyway). In Foxboro, too. LOL Yeah, I’m not crossing my fingers on that one. THIS was the game we needed to and should’ve won, imho.
It’s (admittedly) still not a devastating loss to our hopes for the season but we’re starting to creep backwards again and really can’t afford much more mediocrity, especially against teams we should be beating, like the over-rated Packers. \:( Though it IS hard to play against Refs who appear to have been paid off by how badly the calls went tonight. What a joke.
Schedule
We have, by far, had the most difficult schedule of all teams in the NFC North so far. Once next week is over at New England, we should have some games that we should roll through. I can still see this team getting on a roll, but I’m not sure it will be enough anymore after tonight’s loss. Thoughts everyone?
Also, blackjack, are you thinking about the play that Matthews threw his helmet off at the end of the game during a play? Because if so, then yes, he should have been penalized. I was thinking the same thing.
Sorta hard to miss the giant screaming man with hair like a windsock running around.
Or a player 3 feet in front of you getting shoved before the ball is near him.
When the paypal transaction is complete.
Yeah, that’s the play I’m thinking about. Didn’t Dwayne Rudd cost his team the game a few years ago for doing just that?

Yes, this is exactly what I’ve been saying since spring. I expected a loss tonight to be most likely back then, and to be maybe two games back (I was thinking only of Packers here, wasn’t factoring in Bears).
The problem with my math back then is that I figured, after us beating Pack at home, we mignt not be able to make up more than one other game, so we’d end up with a tie & final standing would go down to tiebreakers. But … that’s getting way ahead of things here. First things first, start digging out of the hole, and get the series split.
Chilly just threw Brett under the bus,
things might be getting real bad. No more schisms in the locker room.

Chilly's clueless
I hate to say it but I’m starting to see that more and more tonight. How many boneheaded decisions did he make or more importantly FAIL to make tonight?
1. Wasting a good 20 seconds or more before half-time. Good job, moron.
2. Not challenging the obvious non-TD in the first half. Nice one.
3. 12-men on the field again, that’s coaching as much as players. Well done.
He’s just not good enough – Vikes deserve better, and I hate to say that because I generally like the guy in some ways. Sigh.
There was no obvious 2 point conversion.
When we last scored to get within 4 there was over three minutes left in the third quarter. You don’t go for two when you’re down by four with more than a full quarter to go unless you’re playing Madden : )

Should have taken Clausen. Instead we have a corner who can’t stop anyone or stay healthy. Toby looks good though. We needed a quarterback and to buy a secondary.
Have you seen Clausen?
I feel much better about Webb. and Cook was looking great earlier in the year/pre-season, but he was also put up against Greg Jennings, who makes other veteran DBs look foolish too.
What? have you seen clausen play?

Quarless TD
See, this play, early on in the game, is getting overlooked. It was 3rd down and when he came down with the ball, his right foot hit in, left foot never made it in. His back and ass hit at the same time, with ass landing in and back landing on the white. How was this a touchdown? Oh, and we should have challenged because he, too, never maintained control of the ball when he was out of bounds. But how was it ruled a touchdown in the first place?
Ass counts. I’ve learned to never question completion or incompletions because the NFL’s rules don’t really make sense.

Everyone is right. I am sure that Cook will end up being a much better NFL player than Clausen. Probably even better than Jhavid Best. Yeah, we let that one go to.
Almost making it to the Super Bowl last year and almost winning three other games this year is exactly what the fans want. After all, I keep rooting them on. Keep thinking it will get better. Trust me, I speak from experience with this team, we are in for a long season!
I suppose you're 100% correct.
We definitely needed a much worse AP and a QB who can’t get out of his own way.
Brad childress is a peice of shit
he just killed Brett in the post game interview. just threw him under the bus

Well Brett killed the Vikings with 3 INTs, bad sacks, etc.
I thought you were fan of the Vikings TEAM, not just a Brett Favre in Purple fan.
Look at the weapons he has around him: Peterson, Harvin, Moss, Shiancoe. The QB is just not getting it done, period.
At the same time, Chilldress is a shitty coach too. Fact. No challenge on the Quarless TD, no aggressiveness at the end of the 1st half, not going for 2. Terrible.
But you did observe a sad truth. Now the blame game is happening. Chilly will blame Favre, Favre will blame Chilly and the O-Line, Moss will just quit, the D will start blaming the O (with good reason).

Favre gave it all he had DURING the game. He wanted to win, no doubt. But once they lost, he looked as if he finally knew for sure that the party was over.
As hard as it will be physically to come back from this, mentally I think Favre will just not have his heart into it after this.

Honestly, at this point,
I think ol’ Sage would of been a better QB to have rolled with.
Favre so far has looked basically average. He didn’t really make any “oh wow” plays in this game, besides the toss to Harvin which would of been in bounds had he not been hit before catching the ball.
He hasn’t really made that many “oh wow” plays during the whole season as a whole.
Look at random average QBs like Josh Freeman, or Vince Young. They’re making 30-60 yard tosses every once in awhile, and still making other smart reads elsewhere. At this point, with our under 7 point losses, just playing average, and not giving the ball up 3+ times a game, would put us at maybe 4 wins or more.
Do you think Jackson would make the same smart reads as Freeman or Young? Didn’t they give him a chance to do that?

At the same time, you had a lot of fans looking like him playing at Lambeau has never, ever meant anything to them. What a classy farewell. Whatever they think he did to treat them badly in the last thrity months … well, it’s definiteley all a wash now!
I could care less about Favre and Chilly
I just feel bad for the young stud talents on the team like Peterson and Harvin. This season will waste a year in the prime of two of the greatest offensive players in NFL history.
What a shame.
LMAO
A running back at 25 years old in his 4th year in the league is not in his prime? You don’t know anything about football I guess. I love AD more than any other player, and even I know he’s only got a few more elite years left. This was one of them.
He is only getting better....
is all I meant. He obviously is. Percy has not reached his prime either Ace. Lighten up Francis.
2-4
We made the playoffs in 99 after startin 2-4.

Via Tom Pelissero's Twitter:
“Childress said he considered pulling Favre after 2nd interception, but Favre said he wasn’t approached about it.”
Enough of the bullshit Chilly. Either have the balls to pull him then and there, or don’t try to brag about “thinking about it after”. And DO NOT freaking whine to the media about it. What a pussy.
With such a close game though,
who can really justify throwing in TJack? The guy looked god awful in pre-season, and has no real sense of QB knowledge.
If Cutler can stay in a game after 4 INTs, I think Favre is safe.
yes childress is horrible just horrible
Seriously i love the vikes (SKOL!!) but this is adding up….every game in game decisions are just soooo bad! No red flag on the back of the end zone td, what?? NOT GOING for 2 in the 2nd half down 5, WHAT?!! letting the clock run out in the 1st half, WHAT?
12 MEN IN THE HUDDLE WHAT THE FREAK?!! Having to call a timeout the other day when he wasnt sure whether to go for 2 in a similiar postion againt the jets, WHAT WHAT WHAT?
Seriously how can anyone defend thsi DOUCH BAG?! He is the WORST coach in the league and he is coaching my beloved VIKES!!

I don't think anyone's defending him
Heck, even Favre at this point takes less blame than Childress does.
