Great atmosprhere tonight.The NFL in HD is awesome,it really captures so much.
Gruden is great too. His passion shows and he knows the game.

Too bad though,he won't last on ESPN,he'll be back coaching next year.

Pass interference???

You HAVE to be kidding me...that was text book defense by Woodson. yikes what a joke.

All this after Minnesota has held at least 3 times, in obvious ways, with no calls....which happens. But it has to work both ways and it simply isnt.

6 penalties against the Pack...5 of them deserved. A big fat zero against the Vikings. Apparently Minny plays completely clean and error free football.

I rarely complain about officiating in any sport....but this is just awful.

It was a bad call but even if they didn't call it, Packers also had offside called against them so it would have been 1st and goal from the 1 on the very next play.

Not saying the refs have been equal tonight though.

Im aware of that...but it still shouldnt be called. doesnt matter if their was offside or not, that was not even close to being a penalty.

i forgive officials for missing stuff...they are only human and wont see everything.

but..

Its when they call stuff that doesnt happen is when i just cant handle it.

And i am one that thinks NFL officiating is the best in pro sports.

Oh I agree with you. It was a horrible call.

OILFAN #81 · 10-05-2009, 08:31 PM

Wow. Packers defense looks horrible. Favre could have cooked some hot dogs and watched an episode of CSI Miami before throwing the ball.

28-14 Vikings.

transplant99 · 10-05-2009, 08:31 PM

game over.

The 3-4 isnt working with the personel the Packers have and the NFL has become aware of it.

Gonna be a long season in GB me thinks.

Sylvanfan · 10-05-2009, 08:37 PM

Oh man...why couldn't the Chiefs have axed King Carl a year earlier....maybe Jared Allen would have been willing to stick around. What a beast that guy is.

iggnuef · 10-05-2009, 08:45 PM

Man Favre is killing the Pack!! Good thing I started him in my fantasy pool!! I believe he just won me the game

OILFAN #81 · 10-05-2009, 08:49 PM

A bad drop in the endzone. Packers had a good drive going too.

kevman · 10-05-2009, 09:01 PM

Wow the Favre love in is getting old...

I get it. He'd old, he's playing well, he's playing his old team, but come on the Vikings have A LOT more going for them then just Favre. Favre has consistently had all day to throw to his completely wide open receivers, good for him!

corporatejay · 10-05-2009, 09:17 PM

Yeah, the Favregasm they are having in the booth is getting absolutely ridiculous, he's playing well, but it helps when your offensive line is playing well, you're getting 10 seconds to throw the ball and your defense is giving aaron rodgers about 2 seconds.

corporatejay · 10-05-2009, 09:21 PM

Of the 2394958490589043 sacks the vikings have got tonight, Rodgers is responsible for about 75% of those. Get rid of the ball you stupid idiot.

Flickered Flame · 10-05-2009, 09:27 PM

I don't understand why they continue to drop Kampman into coverage. Favre has all day to throw in this game.

I think I would be willing to give up the sacks that he gets to get that ###### bag off my team.

Although I guess if he is on your team less chance one of his late, low hits takes out you QB.

He had more sacks tonight than the Chiefs have all year. Plays with a lot more fire than the Chiefs have shown in the last two years too. I'd take him back on the team in a second. I'm thinking with a 14-6 record since getting him the Vikings aren't suffering any buyers remorse on that trade.

flames_1987 · 10-05-2009, 10:10 PM

Man i was sweating that minus 4 spread for the Vikings in those final minutes. The Saints better hope they get home field because there's no way there going into Minnesota and winning.

Props to the Packers run defense tonight shutting down Peterson.

Wow, bitter much?!

Game changer....

Allen tonight - 2 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 1 safety, 1 forced fumble

Chiefs all season - 5 sacks, 0 safety.

Ya, as a Chiefs fan I'd be extatic what we traded the guy.

First time in a while a team has been able to do that against the Vikings. And before Favre, you'd probably win the game if you do stop the run. And that was just terrible clock management at the end of the game. No way it should have been that close at the end.

There was a game tonight?
