Minnesota Vikings At Washington Redskins - Second Quarter Open Thread

The Vikings have an early lead over the Washington Redskins, thanks to a Brian Robison strip sack of Rex Grossman early that turned into a 37-yard field goal from Ryan Longwell.
The Vikings' defense has held up very well thus far, and the Redskins have helped us out with an offsides penalty on a 4th-and-4 play that allowed the Vikings to hold on to the football. That was followed up with what can only be classed as an absolute cheap shot on a sliding Christian Ponder by Washington safety Reed Doughty, who will be getting a letter from the league office this week and probably should have been ejected.
The Vikings are currently looking at a 2nd-and-goal from the Redskins' 1-yard line as we start the second quarter of play with Minnesota leading 3-0 in front of. . .well, dozens of fans at FedEx Field. Seriously, there are more people in the Game Thread than there are in the stadium.

How about this...
Nonstop 12 man blitzes. Create the chance for Jared Allen, since the secondary’s worthless out in the field anyways.

Sorry
Simpson’s flip was still better. We’ll see that one about 5,000 times in the next couple days.

That flip was incredible. No way someone running 99yards is better.

Argh, I benched him this week in FF
This is why I’m playing in the consolation bracket.
well it looks like Grossman is going to have a career day
Merry Christmas to the Grossmans!
Wow
E.J. Henderson might have gotten away with one there.
But hey, even we can get away with one every once in a while, I guess.

If the Vikings win........
the NFL will certainly overturn the victory because of an obviously blown call.

Musgrave is a HORRIBLE play caller!
TO at the Redskins 20+ yard line and he calls THREE run plays for a total of 2 yards. PATHETIC. Everyone knows once your defense makes a great play (Robison), you immediately take an aggressive shot to the endzone. Instead, Musgrave calls his continuing-all-season-long-conservative-pathetic play calls. Time for him to go as well as Frazier since he believes the Vikes can win with Musgrave’s offense. I don’t see it. Too many times has Harvin been on the sidelines this year when the Vikes have been in the redzone.
At times he seems to get into a bit of a groove
remember all those end-arounds that were picking up 10 – 15 yards consistently. But I should emphasis “at times”. Key words there.
dixter20 at times
the “times” have been far and few between. We have the Best RB in the history of the game and Musgrave simply can not complement that enough in the passing game to on a consistent basis. If I played the Vikes, I’d put nine men in the box and dare Musgrave to beat us in the passing game. The teams that have done that have beaten us easily.
But what is WORSE is
The defense play calling on 3rd and long. I’ve seen too many conversions given up this year . Linebackers and secondary are out of position regularly. The Redskins 3rd and 19 conversion is one example of this that has happened consistently throughout the season.
Trying it again
