The deal with Jared Allen is officially done! We have the NFL's sack leader now. We gave up our 1st rounder and both 3rd rounders but with this year's weak draft class I'm fine with that.

Ya fuck tjack. One last chance to score but no he decided to play for greenbay lol minnesota sucks again

[SPANISH-RICE]

Minnesota will always be the good side of the river

[No_Boundaries45]

24-19! Fuck yeah! GO PACKERS!
Aaron Rodgers looks decent in first game! Peterson looked strong as well! Should be good seasons for both teams. I could see MIN winning the division and Green Bay getting the wild card this year or vice versa...

HIGHLIGHTS!!!>>>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6_TXB6kdDM

Eh, it may not actually be his fault...Shiancoe kind of looked like he held up on the route he was supposed to run. And ultimately if that is the case, then atleast Jackson is anticipating where his receivers will be not where they are.

[STiSchucky]

In the end, Chilly is still a terrible game planner. 7 passes in the first half is fuckin pathetic, for 16 yards..lol. It isnt the first time we've seen this kind of inept performance by our offense.

The 2nd half, up until the int, was how I wish it'd go..offensively. The punt return hurt, badly, but I believe we followed both of their TD's with TD's of our own and it was there to win at the end. Chilly needs to really take a long hard look on how good coaches mix up plays. Run, run pass, punt. or pass, run, pass, punt is all he ever does. If he starts passing on 1st down more and giving AD more screen passes and just giving him the ball more in general gives us A LOT better chance at winning games.

Indy will be tough. Keep 18 off the field with long, time wasting drives and we can hang with them.

Ok so he was basically just hoping that he was where he was supposed to be and was not covered? Well I'm not a football player but that doesn't sound smart!

That is why they are called passing routes. You have to be able to anticipate where your receiver is and hope that he only has man coverage. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In order to work the QB and the WR need to be on the same page.

How bout them Vikings ahahahahahahaahhaha
GO BRONCOS!!!!!

[drift86]

Ya I know but he didn't pass 5 times earlier in the game cause no one was open.

Not open and a defender in his intended target area perhaps? No good reads of the defense perhaps? Game not on the line to where you might need to take a chance? There are a number of reasons why he might not have done it before but felt the need to at that time.

Damn it, I just got suckered into defending a Viking QB....
