a bitch when Clay Matthews took the ball away from him. As bad as we played at times, we can extract some things from this game that are positive. Hell how many times did we cross their 30 yard line for no points. I counted three. We went into their building and gave them a game with our rag tag O-line.

All that happened tonight was the Vikings held serve, so we go lick our wounds in the bye week and begin again. Normally a game like this would just about kill me. Go look at that stats, and without shooting our own foot, we should have won this game.

Rogers can't continue with no protection. We Handled AP better than anyone has all year and most of his career, if we had even the semblance of an O Line we win that game.

The run defense played great. They've now had two games where they took Matt Forte and Adrian Peterson out of the game. If they can build on that and get some pass rush, Green Bay's defense could be pretty good. I was very happy with how they shut down Peterson especially in the Metrodome where Peterson shines.

You said it exactly, my friend. I said going in to this game that we needed to stop AP and put the game in the hands of Favre to mess up. Well, we stopped AP but Brett didn't mess up, the Packer did. We could easily have won this game, we had the opportunity for sure.

Doesn't matter when you have no pass rush.

Exactly. You have to rattle his cage. It's still a mystery to me as to why we didn't overload their right side a bit more. Their O-line is very weak in pass protection on that side and we have Kampman coming from there.

We should've known, out of all people, that if you just bring three and give him some time in the pocket, he'll pick you apart. Just like he did yesterday.

I don't take any great pride in stopping one aspect of the offense when the other aspect RIPS us apart. I look at it like the coaches had 2 options when it came to game planning.

1 Stop Peterson and hope Favre doesn't beat us.
2 Stop Favre and hope Peterson doesn't run all day long.

I don't feel that the Packer's have the defense to do both, so they chose the lesser of two evils and hoped for the best. Unfortunately, they were playing the best QB of all time and got burned.

Yep. To stop AP and lose the game means nothing to me.
Looks to me like GB sold out on defense to stop Peterson. 8-9 men in the box. They left single coverage on the receivers. Favre was slobbering all over that scheme.
IF they had held Peterson with just their front 3 plus a couple of guys coming up in run support that would have been different.
It is safe to say Peterson and MN would take a win over a 100 yard game every time.

The lack of pass rush really comes from blitzing packages...and that's something that can be addressed fairly easily. You're not going to generate one when you have 3 on 5 linemen, and for whatever reason, Capers rarely brought heat last night. (e.g. the 7.34 seconds favre had that one pass play)

Thus, I think you can take some good from bottling up AP so well because the pass rush is very fixable, IMO.
