The bears crushed the packers with interior pressure, don’t be surprised if you see the 4 defensive end package on Sunday, and a fair amount of stunt plays

(Deshawn Vaughan on Twitter)



the packers won that game...did you mean 'the packers crushed the bears with interior pressure'?....

Not relevant who won or lost. The comment was the that the Bears crushed the Packers with interior pressure and they did. Packers produced very little offense at all. We should be able to do the same.



its wording is a bit confusing - i read it like the packers might use 4 defensive end packages and i thought bruce was a little mixed up...i get it....


It's easy to think that I might be a bit mixed up lately. I'm having my moments more and more often.

My hunch is that there will be more scoring this coming Sunday and more passing by Cousins. I think the Packers will force our D to go in nickel and throw the ball a lot. Just a hunch.

I have been to quite a few Seahawks games and the police dress in the opposing teams uniforms looking for bad home team fans.


That's cool.


Seem like a pretty simple solution, eh? Just that idea in a home team fans head should make that work, for all but the most neanderthal at least.

Most neanderthal... Or at the Raiders stadium... Brutal experiences watching Raiders Vikes in a Vikes jersey in Oaktown... Worst was a free for all fight with Raiders fans led to stadium security and Alamedia County officers getting injured in a incident and I was extracted, drug out of stadium in cuffs and booked for inciting a riot... Tore my fav Moss Jersey!


Apparently by definition, attending a sporting event wearing the away teams colors, is "inciting a riot". In some places at any rate ie Philthydelphia Oakland. I mean, you don't wear Crypts colors strolling through a Bloods hood. Nome sane?

I do.

I was listening to the NFL channel on SiriusXM radio the morning. A guy called saying that his son, who is a huge Falcons fan, went to his first NFL game this weekend in Minnesota. He was so excited to go and spent a lot of money. He was harassed with vulgarities the entire game and had the most miserable experience. The caller said that he went to a game in Foxboro and and was treated so nice by everybody.


I've been harassed and threatened every time I've gone to a Vikings-bears game, even with one of my sons. It's the cost of doing business when you are sitting with an opposing crowd of fans.

Chicago Stadium was rough on visitors, especially high up behind the goalie. I wouldn’t dare wear a North Stars jersey there back in the day.


One of my favorite sports experiences is at the stadium. With the playing of the anthem at a Blackhawks game in the late 80s they barely make it half way through the song and the place erupts in an enormous applause that lasts until the end of song. Great stuff!


Usually, there is a veteran or two on the ice being recognized before the Anthem is played. It's a cool experience, and LOUD!

The #Vikings have eight cornerbacks. Holton Hill is on the suspended list. On the active roster, Mackensie Alexander (elbow) missed practice Thursday and Mike Hughes (knee) and Mark Fields (groin) were limited. Fully healthy are Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, Kris Boyd, Nate Meadors

-----------------------------------

Throw in Kearse in some situations but with Rhodes likely to get injured on plays he doesn't cover well ... we are looking at Boyd, Fields and maybe Meadors being on the field Sunday.

Can't wait for Hughes to start playing.




Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/12/2019 6:06:50 PM)

For GB they had 2 significant development on their injury report! LT David Bhaktiari missed practice today after being limited on Wednesday. CB Jaire Alexander was limited today after practicing fully yesterday.

TE Graham was limited again & LB Burks & WR Shephard remained out

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/12/2019 6:08:26 PM)

Dillion Mitchell missed a prime chance. I really hope Johnson shines because he is going to see some opportunities. It was a lot to hope for that two 7th rounders could do something but even one is a big win so let's hope it happens.

We gotta have health along this unit.




Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/12/2019 6:13:01 PM)

If Diggs or Theilen go down for any extended time I would see what Moss has left in the tank - 3rd time's the charm...

secretly would want them to do it any way




Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/12/2019 6:14:01 PM)

A new David Bakhtiari update: He missed Green Bay’s practice today with a back injury.

Bahktari out would be huge

He has owned Grif

Fair enough.

Late to the party, but most pertinent things have been covered.

Dominant performance. Little to complain about, but I will try. Kick/punt coverage was not good. Barner may have been the best Falcon.

Not a big fan of Cousins going over the top at the goal line. Aside from questionable hands, just not a good idea to have your QB expose and display his digits like that.

Nice to see Barr moving forward as a pass rusher. This is his strong suit.

A lot of good performances on D. Kearse had a quiet, extremely effective game.




Ragnarök -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/12/2019 11:08:58 PM)

The games rules. replay and officials are making it nearly unwatchable as they F up the easy calls and totally change flow while frame by frame dissecting what should be a judgement call. clear and obvious my ass...




beo -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/12/2019 11:11:38 PM)

Things to look for at Green Bay

1) Everything seemed to go right from the get go vs Atlanta.
Want to see the defense continue to get turnovers... we force turnovers we win.
Was it execution or luck or something in between?

2) Outside running game killed.
Inside running game less successful.
GB will try to shut down the outside run game... can we impose our will?

3) Pass protection had some holes.
We didn't have to pass against Atlanta... it's likely we will at GB.
Can pass pro hold up?
Will play action be effective?




Rob Viking -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/12/2019 11:25:57 PM)

So glad we no longer have Norv. Gets cute on a 4th&inches with the game on the line. Can’t believe the Panthers went after him, though Newton doesn’t look right. And Jerome Booger needs to retire, just an incompetent official.

A few posters have made mention to this. First off, I agree it could be much better. In fact, it's poor. Would it be shocking though if I told you that with the exception of only last season, our poor punt coverage has still produced a net average that's higher than every season from 2011 - 2017?

Norv (and his son) is a great example of what is wrong with the NFL. These old white men can fail, retire, quit, get fired......and there will always be somebody willing to give him another shot based on what he did 20 years ago.
