Minnesota Vikings At Atlanta Falcons - Fourth Quarter Open Thread

The Minnesota Vikings are still fighting, ladies and gentlemen, and for a team as undermanned as this one is becoming, that's about all we can ask for.
On their second possession of the third quarter, the Vikings put together a 14-play, 80-yard drive for a touchdown, courtesy of Toby Gerhart's 1-yard touchdown run. (In case you missed it, Ted started Toby Gerhart on his fantasy team today. That means a winner is him and so forth.)
Christian Ponder continues to be impressive in this one, having completed 16 of 20 passes for 147 yards thus far. He's thrown a couple of dangerous passes, but he has kept some plays alive with his legs, including an impressive 3rd-and-1 completion to Allen Reisner to keep the Vikings' scoring drive going.
This team is going to fight, ladies and gentlemen. They trail 17-7 as we get the fourth quarter underway, looking at a 2nd-and-10 from their own 20-yard line.

On a semi-related note: the funniest joke in the world
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?”. The operator says “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says “OK, now what?”
(perhaps a stupid) question...
…that punt hit the Falcons player.
we recovered it — clearly would have been a TD, but it was called dead.
did the refs screw us…?? or am i not thinking of a rule that would have ruled that a dead ball after we recovered it for some reason…??

Sure, he's made some plays
But he’s also dropped quite a few catchable balls all season. i’d say a good NFL receiver catches that ball.
Yes, he has had some drops.
But I don’t think there’s anyone on the planet that makes that catch. He got creamed as the ball arrived…and maybe even a hair before the ball arrived.

Abdullah was good last year — this year has been completely inconsistent.
we’re allowing Tyrell to audition for other teams in starting him — he has basically said that he doesn’t feel he has the opportunity to excel in our system.

Sapp is on the team because we've had an insane number of injuries.
He’s actually fine as a dime back, but shouldn’t be a starter on any team.
We need a TD drive here

How about giving him some blocking

Some one's head needs to roll
I’m so tired of this. Getting cute in Shotgun at the 3 is one thing. Not challenging is another. But having NO blocker in the backfield and going with Harvin over Gerhart when you’re running up the middle? W. T. F.
It's not Toby or Harvin
It’s crappy execution, which is on the coaches…

it’s the coach’s fault for not giving it to Toby for 3 attempts.

Your nuts
Toby is always week in short yardage.
But the failure on the last play was Shanks
I can't agree.
Are you talking about the other 4th and 1 play against the Bucs? Two players missed there blocks on that play – both of which hit Gerhart in the backfield.
"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain." - Lily Tomlin
^^yup
OLine’s fault, as well.
but i still blame the coaches more for allowing Percy to run the ball a couple times before Toby.
Harvin has his place in the backfield, but not when it’s 1st and Goal from the 4.
"Th_r_'s n_ h_p_ f_r _ssh_l_ f_ckw_ts."
Can I buy a vowel...?? +1, Kluwe.
I don't know season you have watched
But Harvin breaks tackles (as he did on the should have been touchdown). Toby does not, generally (although he has one or two today).
Hard to complain about giving it to Percy when he actually did score.
Then we got conventional and failed.
situational football, man
they both avg below 3yds a carry, so stop pretending Percy is a better fill-in for AP.
there are certain situations when Percy is better in the backfield.
there are certain situations when Toby is better in the backfield.
1st and Goal @ the 4yd line — you give that ball to Toby three times in a row, and if he can’t put it in, then we’ll talk.
(and i shouldn’t have to point this out, but per your argument, Percy had two opportunities to “break tackles” to score a TD and didn’t. there’s a differences between breaking tackles in the open field, and breaking tackles within the 5 yd line.)
"Th_r_'s n_ h_p_ f_r _ssh_l_ f_ckw_ts."
Can I buy a vowel...?? +1, Kluwe.
Again
Percy got in. How can you keep saying they shouldn’t give him the ball?
Beyond that, Toby just isn’t the bruiser you seem to think he is.
did i ever say he was a "bruiser"...??
go back and read our comments, man. you can’t seem to grasp that the only point i was making was that the coaches are putting the wrong personnel in the game for certain situations. in the absence of AP, short goal line work should be given to Toby, every time.
and again, you continue to ignore the fact that Percy couldn’t get it in on two tries, whereas Toby only had one.
i’m done replying to you on this issue. i’m sure anyone else reading our comments can see that you are failing to make a valid point just about anywhere in our discussion.
"Th_r_'s n_ h_p_ f_r _ssh_l_ f_ckw_ts."
Can I buy a vowel...?? +1, Kluwe.
(ha, i lied...)
i will reply again — Percy may have gotten in, but that’s LF’s fault for not challenging.
hence, again, the coaches are just awful all over the board.
"Th_r_'s n_ h_p_ f_r _ssh_l_ f_ckw_ts."
Can I buy a vowel...?? +1, Kluwe.
Huh?
He tip toed to the line, stopped his feet, and got nothing after contact.
There was no contact in the backfield (that time).
what play were you watching...??
that still doesn’t negate the fact that, had he been given two more opportunities prior to that play (in lieu of Percy), he could have gotten the TD.
"Th_r_'s n_ h_p_ f_r _ssh_l_ f_ckw_ts."
Can I buy a vowel...?? +1, Kluwe.
Dude
We were talking the fourth and one earlier this year.
hard to follow the thread with so many replies
nevertheless, you can’t chalk up a player to one play. AP has failed to make a lot of plays… you can’t equate that to his entire career.
"Th_r_'s n_ h_p_ f_r _ssh_l_ f_ckw_ts."
Can I buy a vowel...?? +1, Kluwe.
Yeah, hard to tell who responded to what
But Toby’s whole carry has few yards after contact.
I think you are "mis-remembering" that play.
If you are referring to the 4th and 1 that occurred in place of the Frazier-reverse-himself-field-goal-that-wasn’t play.
"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain." - Lily Tomlin
4th and 1, but it was the Lions not the Bucs like I incorrectly stated earlier
"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain." - Lily Tomlin
I'm talking about
The fourth and one where they handed it to Toby as the up back.
Which went as I described.
Same one I'm thinking of
Rudolph and Johnson both missed their blocks on that play. That wasn’t on Gerhart.
"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain." - Lily Tomlin
The third down carry by Harvin
Looked like a TD to me. I didn’t think he was down and he got the ball across.
Too late for that now, though.

He will never rebuild this team. Never ever!

From his one season with no off season, a rookie QB, A new OC, a new DC, and a bunch of left overs from the Tice Chilly eras?

Well, I wouldn't say left overs from the Tice era. Childress tossed those out quick.
But, yes, he had no off season… Neither did any other team in the NFL. Boo hoo. We’re 11 games into the season. About the only improvement I’ve seen from week 1 is… McNabb is no longer QB. And Harvin is finally getting utilized more. And that’s really all I can come up with. Also, the DC isn’t new. We had him last year once Frazier was promoted.

I’ve just been numb to Vikings Football. Been a fan since Purple People Eaters. Maybe its the lack of emotion from the team that is wearing off on me.
It's a buncha deer in the headlights, with no expectations of winning
I remember the Purple People eaters just chewing teams up on defense. Krause would intercept at least one pass every game, the linebackers would put the hurt on the short passing game, and no one was masochistic enough to base a game plan on running against the front four.
