AD is not a great blocker by any measurement, but neither is McKinnon. AD definitely runs better with Teddy behind center. He's not a great receiver, but there has been improvement in that area.
I agree about the formation giving away the play. IMO that is more a reflection on Norv than AD. McKinnon has looked really good in the open field. I believe we are a better team utilizing both.

Our biggest issue remains the Ol which seems to limit Norv and Teddy.


The O-line seems to have improved a bit the last couple of games with pass blocking but the run blocking has not been very good the past couple of weeks. Too many 1-2 yard runs, and quite a few 0 and negative yard gainers.

No shocker, but will make things interesting.

Webb was good for that too.

Missed a huge play early, a couple after that on the first drive act like they're catapulted.

Win and have the 'Hawks come in and kick A again.

Lose and have to go back to Lambeau.

Again

Pete, Pete, Incomplete, Punt

At least the fake punt was a pleasant surprise. Norv didn't call that one.

Rhodes finally played like last year.

The offense cannot play like it did in this last game in the playoffs, and have a chance to win.

Zimmer deserves an award for sneaking eleven wins out of this team. Kudos to the defense for an awesome game. But it's going to be a blood bath next week. This offense is brutal.

Turner really refuses to open it up.

Zimmer may be contributing to it. But soooo conservative.

If we get Joseph back, we can handle anything they can throw at us. Last time we were without Harrison Smith & Barr, IIRC, plus Linval. I think we've got enough athletes on D to keep SEA under 24. If we just loosen up the playcalling, I think we can win.

You can't discount what Teddy did leading up to this game. It was his first time in a game of this magnitude. It was essentially a playoff game and he tried to do too much last night pure and simple. You could see it in the over throws on open receivers, flubbing the late handoff to AP and that stupid left handed pass attempt. You cannot dismiss what an absolute piece of shit this O-line is. GB's make shift o-line was better than ours. Berger and Harris have been decent, but Kalil and Fusco have just gotten abused all season. Matthews looked 5 years and several injuries younger going against Kalil. The coaches have all but removed 7 step drops from the offense because the line can't hold pass blocks that long.

Teddy showed an uncharacteristic lack of poise last night. He did get a big win against a team the Vikings have traditional wet themselves against on their home field. I am pretty confident he will be under control and much better next week. Don't forget the kid just turned 23 in November. He will get better.

So glad that did not happen.

Vikings did not wet themselves and won a huge game against their biggest tormentors and won the NFC North division.

For one night Barr and Kendricks looked like the best tandem of LB in a nickel set in the NFL.

Xavier Rhodes was on a whole other level last night. Just tremendous.

The D line kept the heat on Rodgers all game and forced him to throw over and around obstacles.

Griffen was in full beast mode. The one sack he got was pure relentlessness. Refusing to give up on the play.

Defense shut down Lacy and the running game without Linval Joseph.

The Bad:

Sendejo. My God, he is just brutal. I did a double take when I saw he led us in tackles. I can only surmise that the official scorers were tracking missed tackles and put that number in the wrong category. I don’t know how many times he missed guys who weren’t even moving. He turned a few plays that should have been a loss, no gain or short gain into big gains.

The O-line. Couldn’t open running lanes against a terrible run defense. Pass blocking was brutal as always.

Teddy was clearly pressing and trying to do too much. Zimmer talks about the moment never being too big for Teddy. Last night looked like the moment was too big.

Newman got abused last night. Rodgers went after Newman and had a lot of success.

The Ugly:
Patterson. How the f*** do you get tackled and stripped by a kicker?

Yep. When I saw him laughing after, I wanted him cut on the spot.

Status: offline 		Great stuff Tim and Ed

Very happy we won the division
Very happy about the fake punt
Very happy Adam Thielen contributes
Very happy we have McKinnon
Very happy the refs treated us fairly one time in that place
Very happy to hang on after blowing a 17 point handed-to-us lead... barely

Still pissed at the offense
Still pissed at Patterson
Still pissed at Patterson laughing
Still pissed that our QB and RB couldn't put more thought into the biggest hand-off of the game
Still pissed that our coaches don't realize you have to keep scoring in this league or you will get caught and lose 99% of the time (thankfully Rodgers wasn't lucky Rodgers last night)

The D was terrific for the most part, simply ran out of gas by being on the field constantly, because of our inability to understand moving the chains wins games in more than one way.
Most of the offensive performances were Ponderiffic or Webbtastic. Worried by this.

Elated for the win against them....but barring a "Meadowlands in 2005"-level of good fortune, am already mourning the inevitable one-and-done. Couldn't have drawn a worse matchup.
