Pluses:
- Loved the fake field goal, even though it didn't work.
- I also liked the squib kicks. I think one a game is a good idea.
- BJack runs a really good draw play.
- Holy moly is our defense better when Matthews is in.
- Good to see Jennings a part of the offense again. That triple move on his TD was sick. Just sick.
- Pat Lee is looking better on kick returns. He's probably better than Nelson (who's deceptively hard to tackle, but not nearly as fast).
- James Jones made his presence felt. I think he'll continue to have an impact as Rodgers trusts him more and more.
- Collins looked like Spiderman on his interception in the 4th qtr.
- I thought the o-line looked pretty good. Not much push on running plays, but no sacks either. Extra props to Clifton for manhandling Allen.


Minuses:
- Can we stop trying to run Kuhn up the middle? And where's Nance? Did he even suit up?
- The failed fake field goal? That's on Flynn. He overthrew Quarless.
- What's up with our receiver timing? The back-shoulder throws were awful tonight. Who's making the wrong reads?
- No catches for Driver. Hate to see that streak come to an end. 130-some games, wasn't it?
- I'd better not hear any Vikes fans whining about officiating after watching Frank Walker absolutely MUG Jennings in the 2nd qtr, and seeing the Vikes o-line taking turns dragging Matthews to the turf.
- Voldemort. He's done what he said he never wanted to do - hang around long enough to be a liability. Kinda sad, really (but couldn't happen to a nicer team).
- Hated seeing the 3-man rush on 3rd and long. That'd be OK against a younger QB, but the way to beat Voldemort is with pressure, not coverage.

Nance was there...

I dont think he carried but I saw him shuflfing in and out

3 man rush? Yeah sucks...But what D-L would been good to go in there?

Picket out, Jenkins out, Lang was in a few times on D

That was a perfect pass from Flynn to Quarless. Had Quarless not gotten tripped by an ant, Lambeau would have gone wild.

And yes, it was 130 games. Driver was obviously injured. Played a good decoy role though.

6/11 on third down. Huge plus

---

Nance was in on that first INT. I thought he should've gotten wider on that play so the INT wouldn't have been risked. But whatever.

---

I liked the balance on offense. Keep in mind that Minnesota has played solid defense all year. They mixed the screens, runs, intermediate and short passes -- a good bit of everything.

Clifton and Bulaga did very well. On that same note, I saw a few plays where Colledge blocked beautifully, particularly on one of those late runs by Jackson.

I think B.J. Raji also needs some credit. He didn't light it up last night, but he played virtually the entire game. He's been extremely reliable this year. I really hope we'll have the services of Pickett and Jenkins next week. The Jets can friggin' run it.

Damn, I keep reading this as "Pussies and ..."

This. No way that was on Flynn, that was a PERFECT pass!

Also, +1 to evad for Raji. He's the only real 3-4 linemen we have available right now, and props to CJ and Wynn for doing a great job under tough circumstances.

Except they DID beat him with coverage. I think they mostly rushed four, with some threes and fives mixed in, and they mixed up their coverages and got three interceptions and a game-saving stop at the end. That's exactly the kind of defense I was hoping they would run. They only got one sack, but they got enough pressure to make it work. It was an excellent defensive game plan.
