Minnesota Vikings At Atlanta Falcons - Second Quarter Open Thread

PrintWell, the Vikings had a fairly ugly opening drive, where two passes to Percy Harvin and an incompletion netted them a four-yard loss, and followed that up with an ugly showing defensively where they allowed a 27-yard touchdown pass to Falcons' receiver Harry Douglas on a play where Douglas just pretty much ran through an E.J. Henderson tackle and danced the rest of the way for the score.
For a Vikings' team that is without Adrian Peterson, Kyle Rudolph, Husain Abdullah, and Chris Cook (among others), we were expecting a bit of a rough go. However, the Falcons might be having some injury issues of their own. Cornerbacks Brent Grimes and Dunta Robinson both needed help getting off of the field during the first quarter of play, and between those two and the Falcons' deactivation of Kelvin Hayden before this game, the Falcons could be without their top three cornerbacks going forward. We'll monitor how serious those injuries for the Falcons are going forward.
But, as we move on to the second quarter of play at the Georgia Dome, we're not in "super ugly" mode yet, as the Atlanta Falcons lead the Minnesota Vikings, 7-0. The Falcons currently have a 3rd-and-3 from their own 41-yard line as we start the second quarter of play.

When Ponder is throwing touchdowns to Justin Blackmon and Alfonzo Dennard is locking up receivers next season, I’ll think this season was worthwhile.

What about ballard and griffen?
We dont have very much to work with. Tell me what coach makes this team win as it is now? We have very little talent on our team. Sad to say that all this team can do is do it’s best and right now that won’t get us a win.
by jayj55405 on Nov 27, 2011 1:36 PM CST via iPhone app up reply actions
but that's the entire point
what’s more important — winning, or allowing our young players to get experience??
Ballard and Griffen have proven they can play well on the DLine.
why isn’t Fusco or Love getting reps on the OLine??
why isn’t BBurton gettings reps a CB?? even with injuries to Tyrell and Asher, Sapp (who has been with the team for two whole weeks) is in for every down — and playing very poorly.
perhaps if LF started using our other young players, they’d see similar growth as Ballard and Griffen.

Good news is we get to see some of the back ups in the secondary.
The Vikes aren't in a remodeling or reconstruction they are in a burn the place down and start praying they don't mimic the Lions rebuilding process.
you sure about that...??
still no BBurton. i hope that changes in the 2nd half.
