Their super bowl was week 1, they've been riding that emotional high for this whole season, which is typical for a team that just climbed the highest mountain.

 

It always does come crashing down come January, very hard to repeat in this league. It was a good run Vikings, but daddies home now. To bed with ya.

are they mommy?

Pad level has been a problem i agree about that but he goes down from an ankle tackle last week. That is a coachable point that can actually help protect him - its a style error not an effort thing.

 

Based on the fact that he is having trouble accepting the handoff... i would guess the game is just moving fast for him.

Fair enough. Good discussion. Like you, I do not question his effort, ability, or worth. Just to me a matter of tweaking his pad level, especially running on those 3rd & shorts and goal line situations. He has the build to punish, to blast with lower pad level. Just want to see it more consistently.

Imagine feeling the need to tweet about something stupid said on reddit by a random stranger as a journalist or media member. 

Tim is hardly a media member, just a guy who writes about the Packers occasionally for CHTV.

What's up with the Dillon hate too? That's a league wide, above average yards per carry. Also he pushed in his TD, and the majority of short yardage failures were pure blocking/scheme problems. Jones is just a different runner, and I mean that like in terms of NFL history. He doesn't cut like Barry, but he kind of like subtle cuts, while moving forward, and simultaneously maintaining full speed. I love watching him run.
