Gunther Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Chester tried to pass it to Shiancoe in the EZ and Shiancoe dropped it. And Tavaris just got picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msaint Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 What a classless organization the Vikings are, running up the score like this. Don't they know that you're supposed to take a knee in the red zone when you're up by more than 30 pts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustOfBeenDrunk Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 yes they are and yes they should !!!! run up the score or go home and play with your kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I'll tell you what, with Adrian Peterson, and that run defense in place, the Vikings are only a few pieces away from being a serious Super Bowl contender. I still think they need to get a QB, but, this is certainly a team on the rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 You playing against AD or Chester? Naah I think it'll be a weekly post for a while. I am playing their defense in a playoff game though. Need a few sacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBalata Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Don't they know that you're supposed to take a knee in the red zone when you're up by more than 30 pts? when have we been up by 30 so we can learn that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhousekey Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) On that last review.. So Kitna fumbled but the ball cannot be turned over to the defense? Was a whistle blown making the play dead? Edited December 2, 2007 by myhousekey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Now the Jets are running up the score. Jets 40 Phins 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Now the Jets are running up the score. Jets 40 Phins 13 I think if you tried to take a knee against the Dolphins, you would somehow still score a TD. They are that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 We have scored so few points all year that we need to catch up just in case there is a chance we can get into the playoffs. Points are a tiebreaker.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirehairman Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 and now a fake fg up 42-10....wow... I'm a diehard Vikes fan but still found this a disappointing call. Just take the FG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm a diehard Vikes fan but still found this a disappointing call. Just take the FG. It WAS over 50 yards...just saying, thats no gimmie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm a diehard Vikes fan but still found this a disappointing call. Just take the FG. Divisional game, at home, possibly in the playoff race. Kick 'em while they're down. I have absolutely no problem with that play, or running up the score in general. Now, Swerski should be here any minute to tell me what a horrible, mean person I am that knows nothing about sportsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Up 42-10 is the perfect time to try a fake FG. You get real game experience practicing a play that might come in handy down the road, with no risk if it fails. The Chester HB pass to Shiancoe was a similar play call. Seemed like the Vikes were opening up the playbook once the game was decided. What's the problem with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think they need to get a QB, but, this is certainly a team on the rise. They still need a RB that isn't going to be out 4 games a year, and a QB, and a pass defense, and some WR, and.....

You might want to try it against a defense that even remotely expects it to get any benefit out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the rise perhaps to the level of the Jaguars, a good defensive/running team that can get to the playoffs but no further. Tavaris could develop, but these days most teams can't spend severals years finding out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 You might want to try it against a defense that even remotely expects it to get any benefit out of it. I disagree. Most teams won't expect a halfback pass from Chester Taylor under any game situations. And it certainly is possible to call for a fake FG in a situation where the defense isn't expecting to see it. The fact that they tried it against the Lions is probably more telling, as the Lions are not a good team to test whether or not a play might work (mainly because most plays work against the Lions).

xtra Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) I'm a diehard Vikes fan but still found this a disappointing call. Just take the FG. Im No viking fan,but I do have to watch every game since my friend has the direct TV and 3 Tvs set up.I thought it was kind of a my little buddy call to runl a trick play on a field goal at that point in the game. This coming from a coach who calls a running play on 3rd and long in a close game on a regular basis. They need more practice in the secondary or on 4th and long passing the ball then they do a trick play.. On the other hand,maybe its trickle down form the Pats.Play hard all 60,no mercy.I wouldn t be surprised to see all the teams start to play this way eventually.Out with the old way of thinking,in with the new.
