Gametime!

Texans kick off. Vikes return it to about the 25.

O-M-G, 1st play, Peterson takes it all the way

Vikes 7, Texans 0

Woe is the run defense.....

What a great handoff by Favre! The way he put that ball right in AP's breadbasket was pure brilliance.

That looked like the LB's to me...don't know if it was Demeco or one of the OLB's, but the D-line looked like they did their job.

Big Texas · #4 08-31-2009, 08:12 PM

that was rediculous

Big Texas · #5 08-31-2009, 08:13 PM

This did not start out well at all. We all knew that AP was getting that ball. What the hell happened. Especially after last week.

That was no fluke either. He was untouched

Big Texas · #6 08-31-2009, 08:14 PM

1 play into the game AP has 75 yards rushing. He's on pace for 200, especially if we are going to play 3 and out.

It's like we're in midseason form.

TheMatrix31 · #8 08-31-2009, 08:20 PM

Sack that attention whore punk!

Arky · #9 08-31-2009, 08:13 PM

Vikes kick off. AD bring it out to about the 27...

1st play, Slaton fumbles. Vikes to challenge on the fumble that he wasn't down, yet....

Challenge is ruled not a challenge. ??? Still Texans ball, whew...

Texans fail on 3rd down and punt..

Arky · #10 08-31-2009, 08:20 PM

Vikes ball at their own 31.

Dump to Shiancoe goes for about 19 yds..

Nice BTL tackle by DeMeco...

A Smith offsides....

3rd and 2 - Favre sacked by Mario!

Vikes to punt.

Arky · #11 08-31-2009, 08:27 PM

Texans ball at their own 15.

Screen to OD goes for about 6. 3rd and 3.

1st down pass to AJ is good at the 31 yard line.

Slaton not much. 3rd and 6 coming up....

Dump to Slaton comes about a yard short of a 1st down. Texans to punt.

TheMatrix31 · #12 08-31-2009, 08:28 PM

No holes for Slaton anywhere.

NBT · #13 08-31-2009, 08:29 PM

So far, suck, suck, suck!!!!!

HPF Bob · #14 08-31-2009, 08:31 PM

Gruden sounds like a post-puberty Theismann

HPF Bob · #15 08-31-2009, 08:34 PM

Unfortunately, we're playing the Vikings defense before they get all their mid-season astroturf injuries and steroid suspensions. By October, it's easier to beat them.

Arky · #16 08-31-2009, 08:35 PM

Vikes ball at their own 23.

On 1st down, good pressure by AO makes the pass incomplete.

Demeco stops AP after a 3 yard gain.

Favre hits Shiancoe for the 1st down. Ball at the 37.

Illegal block on Vikes - ball at the 31.

DeMeco doing it tonight...

Now, 3rd and 6 for the Vikes...... Looks to be 1 yard short.

Vikes to punt.

Big Texas · #17 08-31-2009, 08:37 PM

Hopefully we get better, but right now we look a mess. I have seen Demeco make 90% of the tackles on the D. Where is everyone else.

Our Offense looks sub sub par at best.

Arky · #18 08-31-2009, 08:41 PM

Texans ball at their 20.

Short gain by C Brown.

Brown rumbles close to the 1st down but offsetting penalties nullify the play.

Schaub int. grounding/loss of down - Jared Allen breathing down his neck..

Inc. to Johnson on 3rd down.

Texans to punt.

Big Texas · #19 08-31-2009, 08:43 PM

Another horrible offensive series. Why would Shaub make that screen pass if Winfield was pressing AJ?

Well at least Chris Brown looked decent.

Arky · #20 08-31-2009, 08:44 PM

Vikes return the punt into Texan territory - about the 49 yd line....

Short gain by Peterson.

End of 1st qtr.
