"Save the Vikes" Pushes for Stadium at Capital

"Save the Vikes" Pushes for Stadium at Capital

Great story about a grassroots organization called "Save the Vikes" that held a small demonstration at the State Capital today in support of a new Vikings stadium. I highly recommend checking out the group's website and connecting with it in one way or another. Here's the website, here's the group's Twitter page, and here's its Facebook page.

Anatomy of a Play: Favre to Berrian TD vs. Green Bay

Anatomy of a Play: Favre to Berrian TD vs. Green Bay

Another nice job by Mike Mayock of the NFL Network to analyze the play that put the dagger into the Green Bay Packers last weekend.

Note the tackle by Al Harris at the end of the play where he grabs Berrian by the opening of his helmet while nothing gets called. Is there a dirtier defensive player in the National Football League than Al Harris? I generally don't hope for players to get injured, but after some of the crap that guy gets away with, I wouldn't shed any tears if something bad were to happen to him.

On the horrifically-awkward/hilarious-when-taken-out-of-context meter, I think Brad Childress' discussion of Brett Favre's groin easily shattered the record. By posting this soundbite, I, dear readers, have just lobbed you a softball...have at it. (HT: The Sporting Blog)

"He is Jared. He makes the plays. They pay him the money, and that's what he needs to do. But I think he's a (jerk), in my book, because he won't let me get on the field."

Too bad for Brian "Devin Hester" Robison, who has a tough time seeing the field with Jared Allen refusing to miss snaps.

Koren Robinson suspended. Again.

This is not a repeat from 2006. Or 2004.

Hey, the Packers might be in the market for a WR. Maybe they could use him. That WOULD be a repeat from 2007.

"I really don't know. I hope . . . I understand we're the visitor. And every time we take the field, I don't expect a standing ovation. All I ask for is respect. What I did there goes without saying. I'm proud of it. And you may hate the Vikings or whatever, but just respect what I've done over the years. And once the game starts, play ball."

Play ball indeed. It's game day. Good luck, Brett.

After the teams’ Oct. 5 matchup, there was a general impression that Green Bay erred by using too many standard pressure packages and not enough blitzes against Minnesota. Quarterback Brett Favre wasn’t sacked and produced a season-high 135.3 passer rating in the game, leading everyone to assume the Packers will elevate their blitz totals Sunday at Lambeau Field. But when you look closely at that first game, you get a better picture of why the Packers limited their extra pressure. Favre completed all nine of his attempts on plays when the Packers brought five or more pass-rushers, according to video analysis by ESPN Stats & Information. He completed 15 of 23 passes against four or fewer pass-rushers. So while the Packers must find a way to get more pressure on Favre, they’ll have to be wary that he gashed them when they did blitz in the first game.

Favre-Cam is Certainly not Overkill

From the moment he walks out of the tunnel before the game to the moment he heads for the locker room after the game, Brett Favre's every single move on Sunday will be followed by FOX's trusty Favre-cam. This feed will be broadcast online for Favre fanatics everywhere. I can think of at least one DN commenter whose head just exploded due to the joy of hearing this news.
