Message: <blockquote data-quote="DarkHelmet" data-source="post: 582672" data-attributes="member: 9399">The Burnett INT on 4th down was a mental mistake, but I think it was instinctive rather than an attempt at stat-padding.  Didn't matter in any event. My studs:Lacy:  won them the game.Rodgers:  protected the ball, made a couple plays with his feet, great vision to find the other Rodgers in the end zone.  He made a couple of mistakes, too, and could easily have had a pick. O-line:  got Lacy just enough room to break through.  Good protection on pass plays.  Rodgers generally had plenty of time.  The shortcomings in passing game were due to good coverage by the Vikes (including a bunch of borderline pass interferences that were not called).Crosby:  what turned out to be the game winning field goal.  What about that short kickoff that gave the Vikes good field position, though?  Was that a deliberate thing or just a poor kick? Nelson:  not his usual numbers, but he was being mugged pretty much every play.  The offensive hold called on him was rubbish.Quarless:  only two receptions, but they combined for 50 important yards.Duds:McCarthy (or whoever up in the booth) for another stupid challenge.  Fortunately it didn't burn us, but it was obvious that the call would not be overturned. Defensive secondary:  two completely blown coverages cost 8 points.  The Vikes had numerous other receivers open and we were just lucky that a) Bridgewater isn't very accurate and b) there were a couple of drops.  The Vikes win that game if they have an accurate QB.Hawk.  I'm usually a Hawk defender and he generally plays well against the run.  He looked really bad on a couple of plays, though, and his lack of speed is a major weakness.  He was never particularly fast, and he seems measurably slower this year.  This is his ninth season, and the physical aspects just start to deteriorate pretty quickly that far into a player's career.  He's looked pretty good in several other games this year, though, so maybe he was just having an off day.Refs.  the aforesaid holding call on Nelson was rubbish; particularly when the Vikes did exactly the same thing on a play later in the game and no flag was thrown.  Meanwhile, Nelson was getting mugged over and over with PI called maybe once?The TV commentators.  Wow, were they bad.  Completely missed some plays, made inane comments and seemed biased against the Packers.  Made me pine for Buck & Aikman.</blockquote>
