Does it matter? No, the vikes are winning and the team is moving the ball. Teams dont get credit for stopping one player. They get credit for stopping an offense.

The Packers defense fell woefully short of stopping the Vikings. When it mattered, they couldnt get off the field as evidenced by the long scoring drives.

It's called gameplanning. Their gameplan was to stop Peterson and make Favre beat them through the air. The gameplan worked. The problem was Favre played well and had his only mistake taken away by a phantom penalty. Plain and simple, when you commit all your resources to stopping the run you can get picked apart through the air if the QB has a good day.

100 yards is some magical number made up by the media cause it looks pretty when they add an extra digit. Peterson's yards per carry is far more significant. His YPC this year was 7.2, 6.5, 4.5, and then 2.2 last night. That is impressive. Last year he was under 3.5 YPC once, in a game in which New Orleans committed to stopping Peterson and make Gus Frerotte beat them which he did with 222 yards and no turnovers.

Gameplanning your ass. LOL. It was a bad gameplan then. Any way you try to spin it, the defense didnt play well and hasnt played well this season.

After watching GB three times already this season it is hard to say their defense is anything more than mediocre at best. They looked pretty good against Chicago but Cutler kept throwing them the ball. Seemed like Favre has a lot of time to make plays and it also seemed like guys were open a lot. While they surely wanted to limit Peterson, dont forget he tweaked his leg on the fumble play and did not play nearly as much afterwards. Their offensive line is offensive.

I agree with everything that you are saying here. At the end of the day, a secondary is only as good as a pass rush allows it to be. They have 5 sacks so far and thats not a deceiving stat like in the case of the Jets where they are constantly putting pressure on the QB but just not getting there. Favre had all day to throw it and would have easily thrown for 300 yards if they werent up by two touchdowns in the third quarter.

Green Bay has plenty of room for upside. The 3-4, especially capers's version, is complicated and it is a giant shift from previous years. So far they have stunk though and they stunk last night.

Yeah, Baltimore's kicker had nothing to do with it.
