The Official Packers vs. those Damn Vikings game day thread

[King Friday]

Haven’t started one of these in awhile. Packers haven’t won a game in awhile. It just made sense.

Love plays well today, and we only lose one player to injury during the game.

Packers 23, Vikings 20

[MadtownPacker]

I would imagine the football gods do prefer virgins. :lol:

Shit I just hope the guys get it up for a divisional rival. The slow start shit has to stop.

[Sparkey]

Packers 23, Vikings 20


Vikings 27 GB 13

More questions about LaFluer and his inability to call/design an offense. Love throws two pick sizes.
The slow rot of the three silo system continues.

[Joemailman]

#Packers inactives:

WR Malik Heath
CB Robert Rochell
S Zayne Anderson
LB Brenton Cox Jr.
T Caleb Jones

#Vikings inactives:

Cornerback NaJee Thompson
Running back Kene Nwangwu
Linebacker Brian Asamoah II
Tight end Nick Muse
Guard Ezra Cleveland
Tackle Hakeem Adeniji

[Joemailman]

Having Alexander and Campbell back is a pretty big deal. Defense has played pretty well. They need to take the next step and force a turnover or two.

[King Friday]

First pass better not be thrown behind the LOS.

[King Friday]

Having Alexander and Campbell back is a pretty big deal. Defense has played pretty well. They need to take the next step and force a turnover or two.

Defense has played a bunch of offensive dregs. I’m not really that impressed by anything the defense has done. We are in for some ass kickings when real offenses start ramming the ball down that Barely there defense.

[pittstang5]

All starters are active? That's good news!

Another note - How in the world are the Vikings still only favored by 1-2 points? I fear this will be a blow out.

[MadtownPacker]

Purple - Packers

1st 6-0
2nd 13-3
3rd 20-10
Final 23-24

[MadtownPacker]

Fox show dogging on Love, saying he was never that good and will never be pretty much. Shades of skinbasket.

[King Friday]

Fox show dogging on Love, saying he was never that good and will never be pretty much. Shades of skinbasket.

Which means he will throw for 350 and 3 TDs today. Keep it up Fox.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[jklowan]

Hoping the Packers can keep it close beyond halftime this week GO PACK GO

[MadtownPacker]

Which means he will throw for 350 and 3 TDs today. Keep it up Fox.
4TDs. It’s like dumbass announcer saying a QB hasn’t thrown a pick in however long. The complete opposite happens. The just gave Cousins the kiss a death with compliments.

[ThunderDan]

Go Pack Go.

[Rastak]

Good luck lads. You got home field so let's see what nutty shit happens today.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Love sucks. Packers suck. Fuck this game.

I am now rooting for the Miami Dolphins.

[ThunderDan]

Good inside run by Dillon.

[ThunderDan]

We got someone to jump on a hard count. Haven’t seen that in about 5 years.

[red]

walker sucks

free play for love, can't throw the ball into lake michigan

myer still sucks, what an ugly first series

[Sparkey]

Myers is so f'ng bad.

[ThunderDan]

Either Myers or Runyun completely fucked that blocking scheme up.

[King Friday]

This OL is pathetic.

[red]

This OL is pathetic.

no, if you listen to the training camp hype, we have 9 starters

love is also greatly improved (how fucking bad was he when we drafted him?)

[red]

damnit

[Fosco33]

Walker sucks. Oline is just bad. Dillon is fricken slow.

3 and out, 2 penalties, 2 unblocked DL. Why do we make it so complicated? Fricken execute a simple plan.

[red]

shit like that always seems to happen to our D after dropping ints

[red]

Walker sucks. Oline is just bad. Dillon is fricken slow.

3 and out, 2 penalties, 2 unblocked DL. Why do we make it so complicated? Fricken execute a simple plan.

play jones or trade him

if he's able to fucking play, then fucking use him

[Fosco33]

I decided to look up the last time we had 300 yards passing. It was Nov of 2021…

[ThunderDan]

Ok Quay, if you are rushing the QB. Don’t stop after initial contact by the OL. The ball didn’t come out on time, you had a chance to get there if you kept going.

[ThunderDan]

Watch the fake.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Barry’s D is so vanilla, Vanilla Ice could destroy it.

[red]

how did that ball not go in, it kept looking like it wanted to start hooking, but it just wouldn't

[Joemailman]

Really surprised Vikings didn't go for it there.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I decided to look up the last time we had 300 yards passing. It was Nov of 2021…

I love offense, which is why I am now a Dolphins fan.

Black coach who looks like a white guy is a genius.

[red]

yay, we used our backup RB, aaron jones

[ThunderDan]

Yeah, Aaron Jones ran the ball.

[red]

I love offense, which is why I am now a Dolphins fan.

Black coach who looks like a white guy is a genius.

he's black?

looking like the nerdiest white guy i've ever seen

[ThunderDan]

Need your receivers to catch the ball.

[red]

2 drops on that 3 and out

just when you think we can't get any more pathetic

[Anti-Polar Bear]

he's black?

looking like the nerdiest white guy i've ever seen

Yeah, McDaniel’s black.

[MadScientist]

Another series with no first downs.

[King Friday]

Musgrave has a lot of learning to do.

[red]

don't punt again, this is never good

[ThunderDan]

Block in the back by 45 on the 2nd punt.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Another series with no first downs.

Last time the Packers scored a touchdown in the first half, I was shutting down Darren Charles.

[Joemailman]

Can we just fast forward to the 3rd quarter?

[Teamcheez1]

Why did any of you think things would change?
Except for some folks returning from injury, there is no reason to believe we would play better.

[red]

look at the difference with the o-lines

on that short run for the first, the whole offensive line was past the first down marker. it was an easy 1st

bad penalty

[ThunderDan]

That is a weak call for the 15 yards.

[MadScientist]

That's a B.S. unnecessary roughness

[Anti-Polar Bear]

None of the Packer bums can cover that midget Addison.

[Fosco33]

Bad call

[red]

oh who fucking cares

[ThunderDan]

That is incomplete, but only incomplete because of the hit that Owens made.

[Fosco33]

And ref doubles down saying it’ll still be a PF. If they review the play - review the whole play and make the right call.

[ThunderDan]

I guess if you are a WR, you should jump or dive for every ball. Then the D can’t make any contact near your head/neck but going to the ground that is really the only part of the WR that can be hit.

[red]

And ref doubles down saying it’ll still be a PF. If they review the play - review the whole play and make the right call.

yup, just stupid you can't fix all calls

[Anti-Polar Bear]

This Packer team is dumber than Tony ODay.

[red]

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT

CLEAN UP THE STUPID FUCKING BULLSHIT COACH. THATS YOUR JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Engabare, you are stupid.

[ThunderDan]

This Packer team is dumber than Tony ODay.

Boring, unoriginal.

[red]

yes, please show joe barry every single time you mention how inept our defense is

[Fosco33]

Packers. Young. Undisciplined. Unfocused. Poor execution.

[red]

wide open

alexander got knocked on his ass

[pittstang5]

Welp, this game is going about as well as I thought it would.

[ThunderDan]

Rush 2 and drop 9, and no one covers Hockenson.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

See Cousins berating his star wr? Love needs to be more like that.

[red]

OMG

too easy

[red]

ran right over quay, and owens is shit with another hit up by the head

[ThunderDan]

I know the percentages playing nickel there is smart. But we go to 2 DL and Minn runs right up the gut.

[pittstang5]

SMH - that's about all we as fans can do. This team is just not good.

[red]

I know the percentages playing nickel there is smart. But we go to 2 DL and Minn runs right up the gut.

like vilma just said, we suck against the run, he wanted them to run it all four times from inside the 10

[MadScientist]

I know the percentages playing nickel there is smart. But we go to 2 DL and Minn runs right up the gut.

By now they should know there is a high percentage in those cases of the other team running for a touchdown.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Jalan Ramsey is back for the fins. Was on IR for something.

[red]

dillon back in the game

WTF?

is he our #1 now?

get rid of the fucking ball, reed was wide open over the middle

[Fosco33]

Missed a PF on Owens there. Might get have a lighter paycheck

[jklowan]

Well another week and we regress again, how terrible can this team play before we see some improvement. My local div 3 high school team could beat this packer team, what a disgrace. Guess it's time to blow this shit team up. Trade what you can at the deadline, fire the coaches and start over, just pathetic

[pittstang5]

Oh Cmon Love!!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

This team is dumber than thunderdan.

[red]

oh shock, a penalty

boo birds starting in the first quarter

[King Friday]

Dear God. What a debacle in both sides of the ball.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Enjoy the game. Im going to bed. Flip burgers tonight, much to thunder’s delight.

[red]

3rd and 22 and he runs it

he knows he can't throw the ball over 10 yards

[ThunderDan]

3 3 and outs for the O in the 1st quarter.

Absolute shit.

[red]

i wasn't gonna drink this early, but fuck it

[pittstang5]

I didn't think it before, but I truly think the Packers are the worst team in the NFL. I've seen no improvement whatsoever...nothing! Week in and week out, this team just outright sucks

[ThunderDan]

Enjoy the game. Im going to bed. Flip burgers tonight, much to thunder’s delight.

Not my delight at all. Not my job to have you not reach you potential. Holding some one accountable is how you improve.

[red]

I didn't think it before, but I truly think the Packers are the worst team in the NFL. I've seen no improvement whatsoever...nothing! Week in and week out, this team just outright sucks

we might be in the running

[jklowan]

Lefluer has to big as dumb as Barry, why is walker still playing, give someone else a shot he is nothing but a glorified turnstyle. I am done with this coaching staff

[MadtownPacker]

Not my delight at all. Not my job to have you not reach you potential. Holding some one accountable is how you improve.
He needs his manager/QB to yell at him like cousins.

[ThunderDan]

I didn't think it before, but I truly think the Packers are the worst team in the NFL. I've seen no improvement whatsoever...nothing! Week in and week out, this team just outright sucks

A lot of truth to this. We haven’t improved. It is the same product every week since the week 1 win.

[Fosco33]

9 plays. Negative passing yards. 5 penalties.

Officially putting lafleur on hot seat.

[Teamcheez1]

15 yards of offense.
44 yards of penalties.

[red]

A lot of truth to this. We haven’t improved. It is the same product every week since the week 1 win.

i was really looking forward to kinda starting from scratch, and watching the team improve a little bit every week

but if anything, we are getting worse week by week, and aren't getting better at anything

[pittstang5]

Wide open - Just unacceptable on 3rd and long!

[Rastak]

Vikings seem to be figuring out 3rd down the last couple of weeks.

[Joemailman]

For the first time, I'm wondering if LaFleur could lose this team.

[red]

9 plays. Negative passing yards. 5 penalties.

Officially putting lafleur on hot seat.

and gute

he bet it all on love, and looks to have lost big time

get rid of him and let someone new start the scouting

[Rastak]

Addison is a REALLY good WR2.

[ThunderDan]

Vikings seem to be figuring out 3rd down the last couple of weeks.

Helps to play the Packers. Even the Raiders beat us.

[red]

Vikings seem to be figuring out 3rd down the last couple of weeks.

they look really good, but we seem to be really bad, so, like the lions, its a bit hard to figure out how good you are

al we do know as you both seem to be better then us

[Fosco33]

The packers might be a bottom 5 team right now.

This is fugly

[ThunderDan]

and gute

he bet it all on love, and looks to have lost big time

get rid of him and let someone new start the scouting

Love needs to have time. OL has been bad today like most weeks.

[jklowan]

I'm out again, this isn't fun to watch, just shit football that continues to get worse, enjoy

[MadtownPacker]

Addison is a REALLY good WR2.
Hating him right now so yeah.

[red]

The packers might be a bottom 5 team right now.

This is fugly

so, what does the QB class look like next year? i don't want the USC QB

[red]

34 could have just gotten his 3rd hit to the head on that play

[pittstang5]

so, what does the QB class look like next year? i don't want the USC QB

I think the UNC QB, Drake? Is the hot one.

[ThunderDan]

This is reminding me of the Lions game. Getting dominated on the lines and the team looks like shit,

[Fosco33]

Feels like 21-0

[Joemailman]

Total yards are 162-15. Feels a lot like the Lions game.

[King Friday]

The offense should just take a knee at this point. It would almost be more fruitful.

[pittstang5]

I still have no clue why the spread was -1.5 Vikings!

[red]

holder let go of the ball too early and it started to fall before the kicker hit it

[ThunderDan]

That kick out of bounds by Minn is our best play of the game.

[King Friday]

Best kick return of the year.

[red]

ah, holding

i knew we were missing a penalty

[pittstang5]

Penalties, penalties, penalties!!!!

[red]

10 yard throw to wide open guy

hit his feet

[King Friday]

Horrible throw.

[King Friday]

Put in Clifford.

[ThunderDan]

4 3 and outs.

Throw it deep and if the intercept it, it works like a punt.

[red]

3rd and long again an he takes off running

they are letting you run in that situation

we aren't even trying to win, or score for that matter, or even get a first down

[Rastak]

Love having a bad game.

[pittstang5]

At least the punter is doing ok

[King Friday]

10 yard throw to wide open guy

hit his feet

Not even that good. Five yards to the left of his feet.

[MadtownPacker]

Put in Clifford.
If anything to get a spark on offense. I think it has to happen after halftime to wake up everyone.

[King Friday]

Love having a bad game.

He looks rattled. Not a trait of a great QB.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Put in Clifford.

I echo.

Good night.

[red]

its all been bullshit, every singl thing we've heard from the staff and front office about love looking good and getting better

its all been shit to save jobs

he's horrible

[MadtownPacker]

Love having a bad game.
Fukin Ras, I swear you are the nicest troll ever!! :lol:

[ThunderDan]

3rd and long again an he takes off running

they are letting you run in that situation

we aren't even trying to win, or score for that matter, or even get a first down

I thought once he broke the pocket he would throw deep.

[red]

damnit

[red]

I thought once he broke the pocket he would throw deep.

thats what he needs to do, but i think he knows he can't throw deep

[King Friday]

Another horrible defensive failure. Why is everyone 15 yards downfield?

[MadtownPacker]

damnit
Pretty much. This shit is hard to watch.

[ThunderDan]

Yeah, the D forced a punt.

[red]

watch for the fake

[red]

he waved his hand

[ThunderDan]

That looked like a fair catch.

[MadtownPacker]

Nixon is the only guy going all out. Would be 20-0 if not for him.

[Rastak]

Should be a flag.

[ThunderDan]

Can that be challenged? I think I would if I was MINN.

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah, the D forced a punt.
Damn that has a how the mighty have fallen vide going there.

[red]

he kind of waved it out to the side

does that not count?

[MadtownPacker]

Should be a flag.
Don’t be greedy, let’s at least be entertained.

[Fosco33]

There were 2 bad Oline holding missed calls on that series. As bad as we’ve played - it’s harder when refs have been one sided.

[MadtownPacker]

he kind of waved it out to the side

does that not count?
You talking about your truck stop experience?

[Fosco33]

Should be a flag.

Yeah. I was like - what’s he doing. Bet they call it.

[red]

yup, fair catch

but no flag

and dillon back in for no reason what so ever

[red]

You talking about your truck stop experience?

https://www.kingofdonair.ca/content/user_files/2019/01/tpb.jpg

[ThunderDan]

Yeah. I was like - what’s he doing. Bet they call it.

How do you not call the penalty if you move the ball back to the original catch point?

[Rastak]

I swear I thought that was a penalty. Guess not. The 900 page rulebook is ever changing.

[red]

yay, one of those first down things

[red]

mmm, hottie

[red]

no catch

[MadtownPacker]

Needs to fire it in hard on many of these throws. The lofting shit is getting ran down.

[MadtownPacker]

Better lucky than good at this point.

[pittstang5]

Is this back up?

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah we all had to get benched for bad offense. :lol:

[ThunderDan]

Or was it bad D?

[red]

now i'm completely confused

i need to equalize with some weed

[red]

well there should be some rush and lots of fucking panic if you ask me

[ThunderDan]

Maybe run that play again.

[red]

sweet fucking ball sacks

[Fosco33]

Hope we don’t need those 45sec. Feels like we’re playing for a fg.

[Rastak]

We back here again?

[King Friday]

Sigh.

[ThunderDan]

Hope we don’t need those 45sec. Feels like we’re playing for a fg.

If we get any points this half, it would be a miracle.

[red]

thats not getting it done boys

[King Friday]

We back here again?

Until Mad gets hot and bothered for Smokey again.

[ThunderDan]

Hit to the head of Reed?

Call it both ways ref.

[red]

yup, we played for the FG

[King Friday]

Here comes the holding penalty.

[Fosco33]

Member when we had 3 timeouts and the 2min warning. Member?

[red]

yuck

at least he didn't take the sack

[King Friday]

Ugh.

[pittstang5]

Fuckin Kidding me!!!

[red]

Member when we had 3 timeouts and the 2min warning. Member?

we weren't in a rush and not panicking

missed FG with a flag, why not end the half like that

[red]

please don't block the FG and return it for a TD now

[King Friday]

Thanks refs.

[MadtownPacker]

If we get any points this half, it would be a miracle.
Damn there is your miracle. :lol:

Who is Smokey?

[red]

it doesn't get much uglier then that half

[beveaux1]

We score in the penalty bowl.

[MadtownPacker]

Shouldn’t the Vikings be embarrassed that they aren’t blowing the Packers out?

[King Friday]

Yet we are only down 1 score. Vikings blew a chance to put the Packers away.

[red]

at least ABC is showing the mexican GP live

[ThunderDan]

Damn there is your miracle. :lol:

Who is Smokey?

I told you, we needed Minn to be offsides.

[ThunderDan]

To repeat everything said above, how are we only down 7 points? We should be down 20 or so.

[pittstang5]

as bad as this game is, only down by 7? Feels like it should be 24 - 0.

[red]

coach better not be giving a "way to end the half" type of bullshit speeches

[Joemailman]

Packers with 8 penalties for 69 yards.

[Joemailman]

as bad as this game is, only down by 7? Feels like it should be 24 - 0.

Defense hasn't been great, but did enough to keep them in the game with no help from the offense.

[Rastak]

Game is close, anything can happen in the second half.

[red]

Damn there is your miracle. :lol:

Who is Smokey?

smokey

<-----


https://youtu.be/tFINT7af-u4?si=A_orni6JqxNNjKua

[pittstang5]

Defense hasn't been great, but did enough to keep them in the game with no help from the offense.

Yep

[MadtownPacker]

Sicko perv Bretsky likely at that volleyball game.

[KYPack]

If the announcers haven't said dept...

Yosh Nieman has replaced Walker at LT.

It's made a difference in PP.

They obviously don't want to resign Yosh, but give him reps anyhow.

We've doubled our first half scoring average.

It was 1.5 pts per half, but we got 3 today.

Super Bowl baby!

[MadtownPacker]

Game is close, anything can happen in the second half.
You don’t feel like your Vikes should be kicking ass with the way this game is going?

[Rastak]

Yea, but that doesn't always happen Mad. If I cared more I'd likely be pissed!

[beveaux1]

Gotta say this. I've never seen an uglier half of football. I wanted Love to be more accurate. He was, but nobody could catch it.

Every possession, we had at least one penalty. Every single possession. We even threw in 4 on defense.

Can anybody block on the OL? I watched Myers miss a NT set up right in front of him on 3rd and 1 to stop Dillon for no gain. I watched Walker completely whiff on a pass rusher that sacked Love.

The blocking problems have happened in every game since the first game. Where are the coaches? I noticed that they finally replaced Walker with Nijman. About time!

Defense plays the same as always. We force one punt in the first half . Just bad, bad, bad football.

[Fosco33]

I thought Jonathan Vilma was Greg Jennings.

[ThunderDan]

Gotta say this. I've never seen an uglier half of football. I wanted Love to be more accurate. He was, but nobody could catch it.

This was similar to 1st half against Lions.

[Fosco33]

We’re gonna need a trick play to steal a possession.

We’ll need at least 1 takeaway too.

Mark it.

[red]

fucking wide open, our zone is shit

[ThunderDan]

Got say, at least Quay and Rasul are bringing some energy. Looks like the rest are ok with getting
punched in the nose.

[red]

We’ll need at least 1 takeaway too.

Mark it.

do we have any of those this year

maybe a couple ints?

[red]

Got say, at least Quay and Rasul are bringing some energy. Looks like the rest are ok with getting punched in the nose.

those are the 2 guys that have nasty streaks

alexander falls down again. can we trade him? he's not bringing much value to the team this year

[Rastak]

Vikings can't run so pass after pass which is working.

[Fosco33]

do we have any of those this year

maybe a couple ints?

4 picks and one fumble recovery.

[red]

bad route, not knowing where the first down is

[Rastak]

Should have reached the ball out.

[red]

4 picks and one fumble recovery.

wow, don't remember any of that

[Fosco33]

I’d be fine dumping Preston and Jaire. Clean up the cap next year and lock up Rashan.

I think Preston is the only one that would save $1m though.

[Rastak]

WTF are they talking about.

[red]

QB sneak got like 3 yards when they needed a foot

[Rastak]

Best kind of sneak.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Dumbass Packer D trying to force a fumble instead of tackling.

[red]

piss

[ThunderDan]

Preston covering a TE is much better than covering Devonte Adams.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

23 and 29 are overrated.

[red]

massive hole in the zone right in the middle of the field

how does anyone think that will work?

[beveaux1]

There's our "never get off the field" defense. Easy TD for the Vikings.

[Rastak]

I take it you couldn't sleep Tank?

Why did the Lions trade Hockenson?

[Fosco33]

Lol. You may want to cover that guy in the red zone.

[pittstang5]

That's the Packers D we know

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I take it you couldn't sleep Tank?

Why did the Lions trade Hockenson?

I was watching MIA-NE, as a new Fins fan.

[beveaux1]

Our D is the death by a thousand cuts. No pass rush, large openings in the zone, weak run defense. Today we're adding in the stupid penalties. We've brought our A game today.

[Rastak]

I kind of like Mercury Morris.

[red]

"no TDs in first half in 5 straight games, longest streak since 1988"

longest streak since randy fucking wright?

[ThunderDan]

Ball ripped out of Reeds hands.

[red]

undrethrown ball INT

love sucks

[MadtownPacker]

I was watching MIA-NE, as a new Fins fan.
Miami is coke town dude. You don’t have the budget. Leave that to guys like bobble and freak out.

[pittstang5]

LOL - Now it's getting really bad!!!

[beveaux1]

Ball hit him in the hands. Did he give it to the defender?

[Rastak]

That was unfortunate from your perspective.

[red]

purple dagger

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[ThunderDan]

Jaire beat like a drum.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

23 is gonna get downgraded in Madden for sure.

[MadScientist]

Can we fast forward to the draft?

[Rastak]

Josh is having a helluva game.

[MadtownPacker]

undrethrown ball INT

love sucks
Yeah thrown earlier and it’s a not a game over.

Fuck that might be it.

[pittstang5]

Now the score reflects what we saw in the 1st half

[MadtownPacker]

Josh is having a helluva game.
Cousins isn’t missing at all today.

[red]

stick a fork in us

trade the vets and go for a high draft pick

[beveaux1]

Cousins isn’t missing at all today.

No pass rush. He has all day.

[MadtownPacker]

That was unfortunate from your perspective.
Yeah this game is so bad it might bring about changes.

[Fosco33]

Dagger.

At least we never had a shot. It’s way easier than hope.

Gute should be making some calls to get some picks. Embrace the stank

[Rastak]

Vikings OL has been improving.
