I'm guessing you mean Shula, but yeah it seems like every dropback is looking to connect deep. Gotta do something to make Cam get rid of the ball.

Nice to see proper credit going to the Vikings in here... All i heard last week was how the packers just weren't the packers, and that if they had played well, they would have won easily.. then i'm listening to the same crap from the announcers for this game, talking about distractions and panthers not playing up to par. It's time to start giving the vikings defense the credit it deserves. They are one of the best defensive units in the game right now.

WOOOO!!! 3-0 BABY!

They really stepped up after Carolina's first two drives. Cam was making it look easy, but they dialed up the pressure on him and made it tough. Minnesota looks like they'll be alright if the defense can do that more often than not.

Yeah I was getting very annoyed at the whole, "You got to wonder if the stuff wasnt going on in Charlotte if the Panthers (Insert something here)"

Nothing was said when the Panthers went up 0-10 in their first 2 drives and it looked as if Carolina would roll with it. Wasnt until they started struggling when they started to say that.

I will say that its so refreshing to have a head coach actually change the Gameplan up at Halftime especially after the Childress fiasco. In every game this year so far, Minnesota has went into the game losing (Tenessee was up 10-0 at half, Packers were up 7-0 after first quarter and another 10-0 deficit in the Carolina game) but came out after Halftime with a completely different approach to the game.

The most recent I noticed was against Carolina Zimmer started to use the short, medium pass game to open things up and beat the rush while the defense confused Cam the rest of the way. I love it.
