Wow, that makes me feel good about our defense. The question is though why he didn't say San Fran? They held him to 3 yards rushing on 14 carries (0.3 ypc) while we held him to 27 yards on 9 carries (3.0 ypc).

Well it said toughest which could also enclude hardest hitting. Maybe after he played us the next morning he was hurting.

Well we definitely shut him down in the game. After hearing that I am going to pull a Kitna and say that 10 wins is now too low a prediction for the coming season. I'm bumping it up to 11 or 12.

An unsolicited comment like that is worth many times the accolades the media might choose to bestow.
Media to bestow? maybe in my next life

maybe because when we played them both teams pretty much had to win to make the playoffs so the loss and our ability to take him out of the gameplan hurt alil more? but yeah that game was one of the more memorable ones last year after alot of vikings fans were talking big just like the lions faithful did. :woot:

scrolled thru some of the comments, man that packers vikings rivalry is heated.

The reason he didn't say San Fran was b/c the Vikes won that game (27-7) and lost to us (32-21). Also we held them as a team to 87 yards rushing whereas SF let Taylor run all over them and the team netted 130 yards. They probably just called taylor's number more cuz he was the better back for that game. Finally, our game against the Vikes had playoff implications and Peterson was probably amped to perform. So he failed on a bigger stage which definitely sticks with a player longer. Overall, SF was garbage too so it didn't matter that they stacked the box.

Is there any component missing from the '07 defense? Maybe that now resides in northen Florida?

Come on, you are smarter than that. ST was dead when we played the Vikes.

I know Blache will keep us churning. That's why I'm not worried about the DL.
