OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XII - We Got Other Sports Too!

Good Game Turns Into Emotional Day For Chad Greenway

He had 24 family members at the game. Including his 82 year old grandfather, who had not seen him play [live] since high school.

Makes his TD that much cooler.

 

[TaLoN]

Yeah he did. CB isn't an easy position to step into as a rookie either. Some people were already writing Waynes off due to him not starting...

Teddy wasn't very good today, but our dline took advantage of a completely depleted chargers Oline.

Zimmer knows DB's and he was pushing for Waynes in the draft, I trust his opinion and was willing to wait until Zimmer thought he was ready.

Trae today showed just a taste of his future. His coverage was very good. They didn't miss a beat when he stepped in for Rhodes. Rivers learned quick that Waynes wasn't going to be shaken to allow the big play they needed to get back into the game, so started going elsewhere again.

Hope Rhodes isn't out too long though, that collision was scary stuff. If Waynes keeps progressing and Rhodes gets healthy, that secondary could become VERY good!

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Need this one today. Statement game.

 

[gphr513]

Defense looks solid. Teddy making some throws.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Walsh My god.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Classic 10 point swing. Thanks, Blair.

 

[Avder]

And THAT is why we played hardball and kept AP.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Loose.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Two-Minute Teddy. Here we go.

 

[Generic User]

Incoming INT.

 

[Generic User]

There's the Vikings we know and love.

 

[Wild11MN]

Our offensive line is obviously not very good, but Denver's pass rush is awesome. Disappointing game, but can't be too upset I guess. Thought Teddy was much better today.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Disappointing but Denver on the road is a tough task. We need to improve against the pass-rush. Can't we make some trades?

 

[NHL1674]

#$@! you, Bridgewater! And an honorable eff you to the defense for letting them prance down so damn easily for the final field goal. It was like watching Cam Barker clones.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

I thought Bridgewater looked solid. His Passer Rating was 92.4 and he didn't throw any picks. Sure the fumble was costly but not nearly as costly as poor o-line play and Walsh missing a 38 yarder as a whole. The timing sucked but he had no time to throw the ball.

I would agree. Our O-line and Denver's front 7 was just a matchup nightmare.

 

[Loopy0ne]

That was a good game from the Vikings. If Walsh doesn't miss during such a tight, defensive affair, maybe this is different.

Either way, the fact it was on national tv and they hung in and had a chance to win against the number 1 defense so far this year... That is pretty impressive. Broncos defense is just scary rigged and we still got some points.

Bridgewater was running for his life all game, and performed admirably. Not world shattering but very solid against the NUMBER ONE DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE.

 

[gphr513]

I thought Bridgewater played pretty well. 66% completions, 269 yards, TD, and no INTs. Up against Peyton's 63% completions, 213 yards, TD, 2 INTs.

And Bridgewater was running for his life, like tgf said.

If you would have told me that was Teddy's line before the game started, I would have taken it in a heart beat, against that defense.

The defense was pretty solid. The big play sucked, but for the most part I thought they did a pretty good job.

Nice to see Diggs have a good game. Hopefully he remains effective as the season rolls along here.

 

[TaLoN]

Denver's defense make many offensive lines look like crap, that was no surprise. Teddy played admirably.

Diggs had a nice debut, but needs to work on ball security.

Walsh's missed field goal was the difference. How long do we let him cost us games?

 

[tyratoku]

Walsh's missed field goal was the difference. How long do we let him cost us games?

On one hand I want to get rid of him.

On the other, I question who we'd bring in instead.

@AndrewSiciliano: That’s 14 missed FG in @NFL games this week…

Not including Lambo and Myers misses that didn’t count.

 

[TaLoN]

Bring in some kickers and try them out. We should at least be looking at this point.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Defense for the Vikings looks solid. That is going to be one scary defense in a year or so.

 

[Avder]

O-Line looked like swiss cheese.

 

[this providence]

O-line and kicking game got the team beat and the D couldn't hold up when it mattered. Same old same old.
