But a couple weeks ago that Packer defense didn't look quite as dismal as it does now. Wonder why?

really? You must be watching a different team than I. Aside from the Lions and Ravens, who have they stopped? 5 of the first 7 games they played, the D gave up over 30 points a game... They are no more dismal now, than earlier in the season. The three current losses they gave up 27 points a game.

Plain and simple, they were a below average D without injuries, they are bottom of the barrel now. They lacked talent with their first string, they have no talent with their second string.

Good Luck!

Your defense is never considered dismal when you are 5-2

y'Ok...

giving up over thirty points consistantly makes your defense dismal. Your offense put lipstick on a pig with a win.

But that's OK... I expect you to be contrary.

Tell me again how giving up 30+ points even in a win makes your defense good?

If that was a jab at me I don't get it. When have I ever uttered a resemblance to that statement? I believe that I've said, all along, to trade down, amass as many 1-3rd round picks as possible and focus on MLB, CB, QB, OG. When have I ever stated "use the high pick on an MLB?" Please quote so I can understand your jab. If your referring to me stating that the Bama guy will be the best available that was not me suggesting to take a MLB with a top 5 choice. However if it comes down to either selecting one of these QBs with a top 5 pick or a MLB and trading down wasn't allowed then I would choose MLB. Why? Because I'm not getting excited about any QB coming out.

LB Michael Mauti might have had a chance at his first NFL start if not for tweaking his left knee last Sunday, but he still could see his most extensive defensive action this week with Erin Henderson out. Mauti, Leslie Frazier and Audie Cole discussed the situation.

Good lord,

He had a bad game, it happens to everyone.

Using your logic, every NFL QB that has had a bad game should be in street clothes. That leaves Matt McGloin and Case Keenum as the only two quarterbacks with a start that should still be starting.

You do realize that A&M has no run game whatsoever so it makes it extremely difficult for him against a good defense. Also, A&M might have the worst defense in the FCS so he steps onto the field knowing that he has to hang 40 on the scoreboard to be competitive.

You see "one bad game" I saw games/plays this year where he just plain got lucky. Scrambling 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage and "chucking and hoping" isn't going to translate well to the NFL.

What you saw was "one" game and a .gif that LMIT OUT posted.

Looks like the Packers will be looking to get one of those franchise middle linebackers just like the Vikings.

Seems funny how the packers were 5-2 with Rodgers and had wins against Minnesota and Detroit with the same defense but now basically have lost 5 straight games since Rodgers went down(yes, a tie to the Vikings is basically a loss).

Dr. Juice, want to tell me again how MLB is the position the vikings most need to fix?

Oh so now you are my wife and know how many times I've watched him play?

I have watched bits and pieces of pretty much every game and a couple in entirety.

I could care less what LMT posts. They bring nothing to my observations.

You've watched parts of every game that Johnny football ever played? Even the games that are not nationally televised? You must really be a big Johnny Football fan!

Big Dave- the vikings defense is HISTORICALLY bad.( As in worst defense the vikings have ever had) Don't know if you noticed that or not..... The offense is scoring enough points to win on any given sunday even with CHRISTIAN BLUNDER at the helm. Its not at all stupid to suggest selecting defense first, especially with no andrew luck in the draft. Spielman has no clue who to pick at QB anyway

OK, I'll put you in the category with Dr. Juice tat says MLB is more important than QB.

BTW, did you happen to watch the Packers today?

obviously reading comprehension isn't one of your strong suits. "Pretty much every game" = televised games.

Not a fan of him at all just trying to see what it is that has some of you guys polishing his knob so much. So far haven't seen it.

Did i say MLB was more important then QB? No. I said its not stupid to suggest taking a defensive player over a QB in the first rd of the upcoming draft. There is no Andrew Luck in this draft. All these QB's coming out are gonna be a carp shoot.

Yes i am tired of garbage qb play for the vikes, but I'm also very tired of watching this defense continue to wet their pants every single game, especially when the offense has gotten them the lead in the 4th quarter. (which has been the case in at least 3 or 4 games this year)

If you think that 1 middle linebacker or any defensive player for that matter is going to turn this Vikings Defense into the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, you are nuts.

The one position on this team that you could upgrade and make this defense better would be............wait for it................wait for it........................Quarterback!

Just ask the GB Packers.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
