so I didn't read the game thread throughout the game but was it my imagination or was Abdul Carter held even MORE than usual without getting any calls this game?

I know that pi before the half that went in our favor looked really bad to me but other than that it sure looked like the Minnesota OL got away with murder all day

Fake punt may have saved his job.

Punter did a terrible job on the blocked punt. Ran too far forward and then kicked the ball right at the rusher.
I’m convinced that he shanked it and we wouldn’t have gotten much out of it even if it wasn’t blocked.

I’m surprised he didn’t have one blocked earlier. Bad form if you ask me.

Not sure they would have moved him to DE if they knew he would be held all the time without calls.

Fake punt was 100% Franklin's call. You are correct about the blocked punt. Punter had a path to get the kick off by stepping up.

Fake punt definitely Franklin's call, and a bold one at that. But the execution I'd give credit to the special team's coach. I also don't blame him for the blocked punt, it looked like a shank regardless of whether it was blocked, and I hate the rugby style anyway. Now, the blocked extra point, and a nearly blocked FG? That's a problem for that ST coach.

I have always hated that stupid rugby punt. It is gay and retarded.
well first of all everybody calling it a rugby punt is wrong, it is an Aussie Rules Football punt

second some of those Aussies can kick an aussie rules ball 50 meters on the run with incredible accuracy with guys literally grabbing onto them

the style of punting isn't bad....its all execution

Watching our punter today, I’m all for execution.

I’d prefer the week off prior to the playoffs.
