Well....as bad as it was....we STILL shut them out. I'll take a 26-0 ugly win against a 3-0 good loss.

tj deserves a shot next week...

CM3 has to play all the snaps...

chad has to be kicked for all the penalties...it is not possibile

grant needs to run with more aggressivity as he did at the end

---

Wow that was about as frustrating of a shut out win as I have ever seen.

---

He did look quite impressive. Appeared to have all the fundamentals down. Pretty much the only O-lineman to have just that. He's really not as raw as I though he would be.



I don't know if he has to play all the snaps, but he sure was on fire this week. He was everywhere on the field. Great in coverage, getting some pressure, containing the outside run.... Ironic enough, he's showing exactly what we wanted out of AJ Hawk.



I like Chad. I hope it had something to do with being out of the rhytm. Especially the illegal formation calls where bogus. He was really not lining up a lot differently, if any, than he normally does. Next to that, take a look at the Vikings line like dakota said last time...



Grant was pretty impressive in the later portion of the game. It nearly looks like he doesn't get tired, whereas the defense does. Maybe a result of not running too much in the early parts of the game?

Honestly we did what we were suppose to do against a team without their starting QB and best palyer (Johnson) - win.

Obviously there are always areas for improvement but great win.

A shutout is a shutout. Its hard to do in teh NFL, against any team, even if its the Lions.

I still cant figure out why we didnt use jackson for more then 2 runs???

Whats the deal.

Bishop had a penalty on him. I think the guy is just too pumped too play; maybe if we was in for a few series then he would settle down and not get these rough calls on him.

Was hawk in at all? ... I see no tackles registered with him. I've been likeing hawk a bit more then barnett so far.

But of course my fav 2 ILBers are chillar and bishop(well I just want to dude to play so we can make a real analysis) ... when we are up by 20 why dont we use him?

I was hoping we would let rodgers get to 400+ yards... too bad.

Got to love the flee flicker but again only when we were up 20+ thats when we do the non standard grant up the middle play.

GG thou Ill take a win here ...

If I remember correctly, the line judge will say something to the OT if he feels he is lining up too far off the ball before he calls the penalty.
He doesn't even have to have his hand on the LOS. His head has to be in the mid section of the guard to his right and he still can't do that. Too bad Colledge doesn't glance to his left and tell him to get his fat butt up another foot.

Chad lines up so far off the line because he gets beat on the outside if he doesn't.

why bj didn' play a lot???

---

Just like the Minnesota tackles would if they don't do this. I think that it's more a matter of disguising it than not using it. I mean, it's working pretty well for Minnesota.

Well, my prediction was way off in terms of the absolute score, but it hardly feels like a blowout. The game raised more questions than it answers. And despite the victory, we're still 2-1/2 games back.
