		<description><![CDATA[7ransponder, stacking the box may not change the Vikings game plan if they are within a score or two, but when they start to fall behind time is of the essence and they can&#039;t afford to run the ball as much as they would like.  Last week the Vikings were not playing from behind most of the game, hence 34 carries.  Not to mention when you say the Vikings deviated from the game plan they used all season, uh no not really.  Musgrave sucks, go watch the Seahawks game where AD was running all over them, they go down one score in the second half and they stop going to AD.  That is just one example of when they stopped feeding their best player the rock, even though he was dominating that game.  Win a game outdoors and then talk to me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lord.  

You overconfident niner fans sure are dimwitted.  

&quot;The niners already beat the packers&quot;

Yes, well the Niners already beat the seahawks, too.  The last time they played, the niners looked like a D2 college squad.  

Also, didn&#039;t you guys tie and lose to the rams?  That&#039;s all the tape capers needs in those three games.  

The Packers have just as good a chance to win next week as the niners do.  Week 1 is almost like last season.  Expecting a niners blowout is like expecting frodo to come out of your closet and tell you that taking the ring is now your quest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bad play calling by Musgrave. Instead of AD when he started heating up, Musgrave starts trying to have Webb throw accurate timing passes which isn&#039;t Webb&#039;s strong suit.  It reminded me of the Seahawks and Redskins games where running the ball was working well the Musgrave tried to get cute with the pass and stalled drive after drive. That&#039;s why no Vikings OL made the pro bowl because they do not pass block well. The Bears showed if you keep Webb in the pocket and force him to throw he isn&#039;t accurate. The only way Webb passes well is on roll outs or on the move and Musgrave didn&#039;t call that or use AD enough. He tried to get too fancy with his wildcat plays instead of giving a heavy dose of running. Ugh. It was ugly.  Btw the Packers only had 2 penalties, yeah right.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[kcbuds says:
Jan 6, 2013 12:23 PM
After the Vikings came down to score a field goal on the first drive where we saw Webb throw all of one pass (which was awful), the Pack adjusted to the way the Vikings were running their offense under Webb and shut them down.

-----------------

This is wrong - actually Musgrave adjusted before the defense adjusted and decided passing was more important than ground and pound.  When has stacking the box mattered for the Vikings game plan in the past?  It hasn&#039;t, yet AP only got 22 carries versus 34 the week before.  Yes, the Pack changed up the run defense and that worked, but the Vikings still deviated from the gameplan they used all season.

San Fran is much more balanced, so whatever adjustments you think were made in that game by the Packers aren&#039;t applicable next week, you don&#039;t have the benefit of having played them just a week before.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For everyone who is saying the Packers didn&#039;t look super, watch the game.  Yes they played against Joe Webb who was awful.  Does that mean they are disqualified from looking Super because they played against a crappy QB?  After the Vikings came down to score a field goal on the first drive where we saw Webb throw all of one pass (which was awful), the Pack adjusted to the way the Vikings were running their offense under Webb and shut them down.  After the Packers punted on their first possession they scored 4 of their next 5 possessions, and went into waste the clock mode as Webb clearly displayed he couldn&#039;t drive the Vikings down the field to score TDs against the Packers D.  Rodgers threw something like 7 more passes the rest of the game after the score to open the second half and take the lead 24 - 3, and they were all safe conservative passes.  If they wanted to it could have been 45 - 10, but what is the point?  They already saw Nelson limp off the field, they are more concerned with being healthy next week against a solid 49er team then looking impressive for 4 quarters.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lots of Texans hate on this site these days. Partly warranted, I suppose. But this is, after all, a 12-4 team that just shut down its opponent in a playoff game. The Bengals could not do anything on offense. And their defense couldn&#039;t stop Houston from running up and down the field all afternoon.

Am I predicting a Texans victory in New England? No, but I don&#039;t think we&#039;ll see another 42-14 beatdown. The Texans must continue to play great defense anda find a way to turn field goals to touchdowns.

And the Patriots have been underwhelming in the playoffs (at home) at times.

Let&#039;s at least let them play the game.]]></description>

Peterson lost the MVP award with this loss.

The MVP award is already engraved with whoever won it. It is voted on between week 16 and week 17 I believe. If Peterson got the votes, he won the MVP before the playoffs even started. The Just dont award it until SB week.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[agree with you. But Peterson’s performance this year needs to be recognized for his superhuman recovery from that knee blowout as well as for carrying his team into the playoffs. Is there actually a “Comeback Player of the Year Award”?

Also, I say shame on that GB bar that put that taunting banner up about “this is what 9 yards looks like”. Lots of comments I’ve read about it think it’s funny but to mock a man coming so close to a goal and doing it with so much positive energy suggests to me that people prefer the small and petty approach to sportsmanship.
-----------------
Completely agree with you, and I&#039;ve been a Packer fan for life.  That didn&#039;t show much class.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The packers looked to me to be a good team but it&#039;s hard to evaluate just how good they are/were when they&#039;re playing a team they played the week before with a 2nd string QB who looked every bit as a QB who hadn&#039;t played in a year. The Pack played well but I&#039;m certainly looking forward to next week&#039;s game where the Rogers will be coming home and a classic playoff battle will ensue.]]></description>

So far I’ve only seen one Viking fan come back here to take his lumps. Just as I predicted. Oh well. Maybe this means we won’t have to listen to them for another 8 months although I suspect that when the packers finally do end up losing the Queenie fans will be talking so much trash you’d think they’d just won the super bowl. Seriously, I think Viking fans savor a packers loss more than a Vikings win. Pathetic…
...............................................................................

Of course they do, johnnyb216. Jealousy is all those fans have to hang on to. I guess 50 plus years of futility and an empty trophy case will do that to you. Oh, but they do have all of those Division Championships..........]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Packers won a playoff game they should have won. Not a big deal. Vikes made the playoffs when everyone said they wouldn’t win more than 6 games. That’s the story and it’s a big deal! Congrats to Les Fraizer and his team. Looking forward to taking back the NFC North next season and winning enough games to get the 1st round bye. Speaking of bye. 49er’s will beat the Packers. Bye bye!]]></description>

_______________

I agree with you.  But Peterson&#039;s performance this year needs to be recognized for his superhuman recovery from that knee blowout as well as for carrying his team into the playoffs.  Is there actually a &quot;Comeback Player of the Year Award&quot;?

Also, I say shame on that GB bar that put that taunting banner up about &quot;this is what 9 yards looks like&quot;.  Lots of comments I&#039;ve read about it think it&#039;s funny but to mock a man coming so close to a goal and doing it with so much positive energy suggests to me that people prefer the small and petty approach to sportsmanship.]]></description>
