yep, they controlled the lineplay on both sides, that's supposed to be Vikings' strength
pass protection was horrible, Green Bay was getting early penetration all the time, and the run blocking was equally sad, no push at all
on the other side MN didn't get much of a pass rush at all. I was not at all pleased w/ the physicality and energy by MN in the trenches. If we can't own the line of scrimmage, then what good are we? All the money is locked up on the lines.
Running the ball and stopping the run is supposed to be a given, now w/ Allen, Berrian, and another year of exp for TJ we're supposed to have enough be a factor in the passing game and defending the pass too. Didn't really see any of it.
And the return coverage was blegh - obviously the PR TD, but how about that GB kick return where Blackmon fumbles the ball on the goal-line and still is able to get up to the 25?!?! I was aghast...AGHAST!
