OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XI - Defense? Who Needs Defense?! (Wade Wilson Memorial Edition)

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Josh Dobbs SZN

A couple were, yes... but I pointed out the lack of a QB behind Hall in response... and it proved invaluable.

Dobbs looked good to me. Definitely not a good sign how fast you guys are going through QBs though.

He definitely looked solid late, but he was absolutely brutal early. Hall looked good and was driving us to a score on our second drive when he was concussed. I'd still like to see Hall back on the field when he clears protocol, just because he has a future here possibly where as Dobbs likely doesn't.

I want to see Hall get more of an opportunity still.

 

[Sad People]

Yay! Mediocrity!!!

 

[TaLoN]

The year of the Achilles...

Dobbins
Rodgers
Cousins
Now...Akers?

Vikings RB Cam Akers reportedly tore his Achilles in win over Falcons

Cam Akers' season is reportedly over.

And he did it in the rain. Turning point?

Possible. Or LA's defense sucks.

50/50.

Hall seemed to have a really good feel for the pocket and where the ball needed to be.

 

[TaLoN]

Minor note. Since Akers is done for the year and he didn't reach 500yrds rushing, we keep our pick.

Play calling was much better. Receivers didn't drop passes outside of one that was both catchable but could have been thrown better. Aaron Jones had more than 7 touches for the game and was a difference maker.

They also had two 4th and 1 plays where they went up, hard counted, then ran the play and got the 1st down only for it to be called back for a neutral zone infraction. Here is how the packers lined up:



That apparently is a new thing the NFL is emphasizing.

 

[Northerner]

This week is the worst one yet of a very unimpressive season for gopher football

 

[Mookie Blaylock]

Turned most of my attention to the other winter team. The Wolves have been outstanding entertainment so far. Ant is what a superstar looks and plays like, Rudy is on a different level than last year. If you like basketball I would start watching, they look motivated

I can't believe we finally beat Iowa in Iowa City and I still feel so disappointed in the team. It makes no sense to me. lol Not a great game yesterday for sure, and a game we should have won.

Really looking forward to see what Dobbs can do in a game after he is given all of the attention and help in practice for a full week. This should be interesting.

My team has Giannis and Dame and I can’t bring myself to watch much NBA basketball.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Hockenson has almost 20 fantasy points in the 1st half. That's nice for my team haha

It's the f***ing squeaking shoes for me. Drives me up a wall.

 

[TaLoN]

Hockenson a fricking beast is the first half!

 

[57special]

Dobbs is the best Vikes QB as far as escapability since Tarkenton.

That's really not saying much lol

EDIT: To be clear:
Tarkenton = Great.
Everyone else = not so great.

 

[57special]

That's really not saying much lol

Culpepper could really run, and so could Joe Webb. I am probably missing a few others. Culpepper just wasn't smart in avoiding punishment, and Webb didn't have other tools.

Different eras, too, where you could really hammer the QB.

 

[TaLoN]

Carr knocked out of the game

 

[Victorious Secret]

Pick it up KOC. This is embarrassing.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Going for the classic Mike Zimmer 'don't lose' offensive strategy

 

[TaLoN]

Poor play calling all second half, lucky Jamis Winston was the opposing QB to allow us to escape.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Special teams prove costly as the packers had a PAT blocked and they lose by 4 when they had two drives in the final 6 minutes go deep into Pittsburgh territory.

Jordan Love was outstanding today. Threw for nearly 300 yards. Had two picks that weren't really his fault; one off of Watson's hands right into the DBs hands and the other was a throw to the end zone at the end of the game.

Next three are rough for Green Bay: Chargers, Lions, and Chiefs. Let's get Marvin Harrison Jr!
