The Official Packers-Queens WK 17 GameDay Thread

[Anti-Polar Bear]

What do you call a hapless fellow who can’t mate in Vegas while throwing away a tons of frogskins, frogskins that he coulda spent instead to mate?

A impenetrable loser.

Hopefully today, Lovemaker and the offense are able to penetrate through the Queens D and the end zone with ease. Hopefully the Packers D proves to be impenetrable. Most importantly, hopefully the Packers avoid being losers today.

Packers 72
Queens 0

Power to the Packers!

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[King Friday]

Throw, throw, throw.

I know Jacobs and company are a great running attack, but the Vikings defense is set up to stop the run. Attack their weak link through the air. Don’t pull an Ohio State and run needlessly into the teeth of the Vikings strength. Love should throw the ball 45 times today.

[ThunderDan]

Go Pack Go!

[Teamcheez1]

Watson out today. I don’t see a bright future for him in GB.
Need the other young receivers to step up.

[George Cumby]

Packers win.

[MadtownPacker]

Shit here it is. The big test to see if the Pack is truly playoff ready. It is gonna be crazy with both teams needing this win badly. IMO at the end of the day it means much more to MN due to the chance of the division and 1 seed. That might be the difference that undoes them. Packers should play fast and loose with a spoiler mentality.

Packers 35 - vikings 33

[MadtownPacker]

Throw, throw, throw.

I know Jacobs and company are a great running attack, but the Vikings defense is set up to stop the run. Attack their weak link through the air. Don’t pull an Ohio State and run needlessly into the teeth of the Vikings strength. Love should throw the ball 45 times today.Yes sir that is the way! Love has to make the big plays today. Vikings make ton of big plays on offense. Can’t expect the defense to hold them down much at home.

[Fosco33]

I typically have a good feel for how games will play out. But this one I have no expectations. Road, divisional games are tough. And beating the Vikes/Bears to be a 5 or 6 seed, by itself, doesn’t feel all that meaningful. So I won’t be shocked if they come and lay a stinker to setup a Vikings/Lions winner take all game next week.

Of course I want us to come out hot and get some good playoff prep. I actually want Jacobs to rush 15+ times to control the tempo and keep Jefferson/Addison and that stupid horn on the sideline. We’ll need big games from Reed/Doubs/Kraft and we should be able to get 4+ sacks as Darnold’s been on the ground a lot this year. Hopefully that leads to 1-2 takeaways.

If we win - it has to be by 8 as the Vikings have the Chiefs mojo in close games.

[sharpe1027]

Fuck this. We're going to run it down their throats and break their spirit early.

[Joemailman]

Watson out, Bullard in.

I'm personally worried about you guys. Playing some great football. That said, it is a road game against a resourceful team with some big time playmakers and a solid defense.

[Teamcheez1]

This game will come down to Love’s performance.
He needs to take the next step today.

[ThunderDan]

Won the toss and are taking the ball. I like it.

[ThunderDan]

Reed needs a big game today.

[MadtownPacker]

I'm personally worried about you guys. Playing some great football. That said, it is a road game against a resourceful team with some big time playmakers and a solid defense.
It is gonna be a tough one but I think the good guys will prevail!!

[MadtownPacker]

Not bad. Running it pretty good so far.

[ThunderDan]

Not bad. Running it pretty good so far.

Until we fumble.

[Teamcheez1]

2nd game in a row Jacobs has lost a fumble.

[beveaux1]

Oh well. not a great start.

[ThunderDan]

Fuck, that is stupid shit we can’t do. We were moving the ball no problem and then turn it over.

[Rastak]

Aaron Jones was a fumbling machine earlier in the year.

[MadScientist]

Fuck! That hit should not have been enough to cause a fumble.

[Rastak]

Fuck! That hit should not have been enough to cause a fumble.

He had a real loose, funny grip on the ball.

By the way, where the fuck is Red?

[MadtownPacker]

Until we fumble.
Yeah right when I hit submit. Fucking stoopid!!

[ThunderDan]

Cooper with a good tackle. Closed the hole quickly on Jones.

[MadtownPacker]

Fuck! That hit should not have been enough to cause a fumble.
The hit and squeeze opened his arms up.

[ThunderDan]

Bullard was on the field.

[MadtownPacker]

That was a huge stop by the D.

[ThunderDan]

Good job D making sure Minn didn’t score after the turnover.

[beveaux1]

Good defensive series with a good pass rush.

[Teamcheez1]

Another slow start by Love.
Getting used to this in big games.

[ThunderDan]

Another slow start by Love.

WTF, we have scored on every possession in the first half for the last couple of games.

[beveaux1]

Great punt!

[Teamcheez1]

Rush not getting home.

[ThunderDan]

Great recovery by Nixon.

[MadtownPacker]

Another slow start by Love.
Getting used to this in big games.
He does need to find something extra today. Looking kinda lost right now.

[Rastak]

He was beat, good play on you lads.

[ThunderDan]

Another slow start by Love.
Getting used to this in big games.

Nice addition, way after the fact.

I am surprised you didn’t blame Love for Jacobs fumble.

[beveaux1]

Nice job by the D.

[Joemailman]

Surprised they didn't go for it.

[Teamcheez1]

Nice addition, way after the fact.

I am surprised you didn’t blame Love for Jacobs fumble.
I should be adding more, bad or good, as the evening goes on. Give me a chance.

[MadtownPacker]

He was beat, good play on you lads.
Quite so bloke. :lol:

Have to say I’m a little shocked vikes didn’t go for it instead of the FG.

[beveaux1]

These two teams are very closely matched.

[MadtownPacker]

I should be adding more, bad or good, as the evening goes on. Give me a chance.
BS!! You never say anything nice mofo. :lol:

[Rastak]

Quite so bloke. :lol:

Have to say I’m a little shocked vikes didn’t go for it instead of the FG.

Kicker should have made that. I'm super old school but going for it is the absolute trend these days.

[ThunderDan]

3rd & 3 and we run.

Wouldn’t have happened in previous years.

[ThunderDan]

That is a horseshit call against Minn.

[ThunderDan]

Let’s look for Kraft for the TD.

[Rastak]

I would never go for that.

[beveaux1]

Musgrave sighting. GB 3-0.

[Rutnstrut]

Kraft would have made at least the first down. Musgrave sucks.

[Joemailman]

I would never go for that.

4th and 2 I think they go for it. Not 4th and 4.

[Rastak]

Trucking folks.

[ThunderDan]

Huge difference better the first Vikings game and the second.

Up 3-0.

[Rastak]

As someone mentioned earlier, such evenly matched teams here.

[ThunderDan]

Cooper is so much better than Walker.

[MadtownPacker]

Jones getting frustrated.

[ThunderDan]

Busted coverage there.

[MadScientist]

What the fuck was that sorry assed coverage about.

[Rastak]

All alone.

[beveaux1]

When you rush 4 guys, it's not a blitz. Even if one of the rushers is a CB, if an edge rusher drops into coverage, it's not a blitz.

[ThunderDan]

3 guys on the right side of the field covering 1 while Nailor runs a post to the wide open left.

[sharpe1027]

Bullard too slow to react.

[Teamcheez1]

Jacobs back in the groove.

[Joemailman]

This offense does miss Watson.

[beveaux1]

This offense does miss Watson.

He takes the top off the defense.

[Rastak]

That was fucking cheap.

[ThunderDan]

Running well to the right today.

[ThunderDan]

I like the play design but Dobbs has to run that 5 yards deep not 2.

[ThunderDan]

Fuck, Reed you need to bring that in. Love you need to throw that 6 inches higher.

[beveaux1]

Bad drop by Reed.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Why isn’t Reed a CB? He can’t catch!

[Rastak]

Mucho Gracias. You had 3 pts there and got greedy like the entire NFL these days.

[Teamcheez1]

We only needed two yards. A short pass would have been better.

[Rutnstrut]

That was a bad pass by Love.

[beveaux1]

Fuck, Reed you need to bring that in. Love you need to throw that 6 inches higher.

Looked pretty good to me. No chance for an interception. Only the WR could catch it, but he has to catch it.

[ThunderDan]

Fuck, Reed you need to bring that in. Love you need to throw that 6 inches higher.

I take this back about Love. Replay showed the ball was fine, Reed just missed it.

[ThunderDan]

Nixon, no need to do that.

[ThunderDan]

Cooper just firing through and he makes the tackle every time.

[Fritz]

Nixon, no need to do that.

Offense out of whack.

Biggest thing is the defensive pass rush is missing. Completely.

[MadtownPacker]

Love has to score or Teamcheez is right?

[Teamcheez1]

I would rather be wrong.

[beveaux1]

Offense out of whack.

Biggest thing is the defensive pass rush is missing. Completely.

The pass rush with 4 has not been strong. We are playing a tight zone with good LB drops, but too much time for the QB.

[MadtownPacker]

I would rather be wrong.
Well the pass plays need to show up. Dink dunk I don’t give a funk just have to get something besides pounding Jacobs.

[ThunderDan]

Love has to score or Teamcheez is right?

Not sure what Love can do when he hits Reed in the hands on 4th down and Jacobs coughs up the ball.

We really have only had one bad drive.

[beveaux1]

Not sure what Love can do when he hits Reed in the hands on 4th down and Jacobs coughs up the ball.

We really have only had one bad drive.

This is true. Players have to make plays and not make mistakes. That's the difference so far.

[ThunderDan]

Hey, we have all 3 timeouts under 2 minutes in the first half.

That has to be a first.

[Teamcheez1]

Useless throw.
Love with 45 yards in the first half .
3 points.
Offense stinks.

[MadtownPacker]

Why that throw on 3rd and 5??? Fuck Wicks butterfinger penedejo!

[ThunderDan]

Horrible decision there. Get the first down not 40 yards.

[beveaux1]

Another mistake kills a drive.

[King Friday]

Love is not playing well this week.

[ThunderDan]

Horrible clock management by the Vikings there.

[Teamcheez1]

No pass rush.

[beveaux1]

Bad clock management.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Gary Lightbody and Vanilla Ice playing or what? 14 has all day!

[Rastak]

Nice job holding that you dummy.

[Teamcheez1]

Defense keeps us in the game.
They can’t win the game though.

[ThunderDan]

We need to address DL in the off-season. We need to find more pressure.

[ThunderDan]

He missed.

[ThunderDan]

No way is that offsides.

What a fucking joke on whomever threw that flag.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Queens so fucking lucky.

[Rastak]

If you call enough timeouts, maybe the half will end.

[MadtownPacker]

Defense keeps us in the game.
They can’t win the game though.
Yeah they have been strong against a hot purple offense. Can’t expect that to last.

[ThunderDan]

Fucking refs gave Minn 3 points.

[Teamcheez1]

This game will come down to Love’s performance.
He needs to take the next step today.

As I said prior to the start of the game.

[beveaux1]

Another mistake by the Packers and we give up 3 more.

[MadtownPacker]

If you call enough timeouts, maybe the half will end.
Crying about that? Shit works and almost did right now.

[ThunderDan]

NFL wants to Minn Det game to be for all the marbles and huge watch numbers.

Refs throws a flag to make sure it happens.

[beveaux1]

No way is that offsides.

What a fucking joke on whomever threw that flag.

He probably was offsides. Didn't affect the play, but it gives the Vikings 3 points.

[ThunderDan]

He probably was offsides. Didn't affect the play, but it gives the Vikings 3 points.

He literally moved an inch. He wasn’t offsides. He didn’t jump. Nothing. That was a phantom call.

[Teamcheez1]

Well, on the bright side we are not down by 28.

[beveaux1]

If we lose this game, the fumble, the dropped pass. the illegal formation on 3rd and 1, and the offsides on a missed FG, might be the difference.

Defense has played pretty well, but lack of pass rush gives their QB too much time to find a guy in zone defense.

Offense has shot themselves in the foot over and over. They haven't played poorly, they've just made mistakes.

The two teams are about even, but Minn. playing at home and GB mistakes have made this difficult for us to win.

[ThunderDan]

We need the D to get a stop to start the 2nd half.

[Teamcheez1]

There is no scenario in which we were going to win this game scoring less than around 30 points.

[beveaux1]

The offense will have to open it up. More passing, less running. Not our usual game plan.

[ThunderDan]

Good play by Slayton there.

[sharpe1027]

It was no more offsides than just about every single field goal this year.

[ThunderDan]

If we are going to call by millimeters, we’re all of Minn players set for 1 second on that 3rd down play?

[beveaux1]

It was no more offsides than just about every single field goal this year.

Probably not, but home team gets calls.

[ThunderDan]

That is the difference in the game. Minn O making plays. If that was GB we drop that pass.

[Fritz]

Probably not, but home team gets calls.

Where the FUCK is the pass rush???

Clark? Gary? Van Mess?

[beveaux1]

That is the difference in the game. Minn O making plays. If that was GB we drop that pass.

Absolutely.

[Rastak]

Didn't look offside but there was no camera angle to replicate what the offical would see looking down the line I guess.

[beveaux1]

That is the difference in the game. Minn O making plays. If that was GB we drop that pass.

The throw wasn't good. He caught it.

[ThunderDan]

God, that should have been a sack and Minn gets the TD.

[Fritz]

Minnesota playing better on both sides of the ball, period.

Bullard got schooled on that TD route.

[sharpe1027]

Didn't look offside but there was no camera angle to replicate what the offical would see looking down the line I guess.

Even if it was technically offsides, it happens all the time and consistently isn't called unless it's blatant.

[sharpe1027]

Minnesota playing better on both sides of the ball, period.

Bullard got schooled on that TD route.
Bullard is playing like a rookie.

[Rastak]

Minnesota playing better on both sides of the ball, period.

Bullard got schooled on that TD route.

Surprises me to be honest. Was scared of you guys.

[Teamcheez1]

If Love doesn’t answer with a TD, the game is over.

[ThunderDan]

The throw wasn't good. He caught it.

That’s what I mean. The Minn WR went up and made a great play. Our O is doing nothing to help Love out today.

[beveaux1]

That’s what I mean. The Minn WR went up and made a great play. Our O is doing nothing to help Love out today.

Even when he makes a good throw.

[ThunderDan]

If Love doesn’t answer with a TD, the game is over.

We need a TD for sure. But Love is getting no help out there today.

[Sparkey]

Darnold vastly outplaying Love.

[Fritz]

Love has pressure in his face most of the time. Darnold is back there picking his nose, checking his bank account, waiting until someone gets open. Having said that, The Flower is in charge of the offense and the offense has three points . . .

[ThunderDan]

40 yard line. Didn’t make it to the 20 on the kick.

[Rastak]

Love has pressure in his face most of the time. Darnold is back there picking his nose, checking his bank account, waiting until someone gets open. Having said that, The Flower is in charge of the offense and the offense has three points . . .

That's not completely true. That pocket was collapsing several times.

[ThunderDan]

There we go again. 12 men in the huddle. O is shooting itself in the foot over and over.

[beveaux1]

Darnold vastly outplaying Love.

He's thrown the ball 12 times, that's it.

[Fritz]

The Packers seem to shit the bed against good teams. They beat bad teams and okay teams, but they don't play well - they don't measure up - against elite teams. Maybe they're just not that good.

[Fritz]

Dick is being sucked by Packer receivers.

[MadtownPacker]

Does Willis need to go in?

[ThunderDan]

No time to throw, running for his life, hits Reed in the hands, can’t make a play to reel it in.

Instead bitches to the ref it is interference.

[Teamcheez1]

We are a second tier team.
Good enough to make the playoffs and lose.
We are getting beat in every phase of the game.

[sharpe1027]

Was that not PI? Looked like he was early.

[Joemailman]

Love not finding anyone open on first reads.

[MadtownPacker]

Was that not PI? Looked like he was early.
Doesn’t matter. The play calls aren’t there today.

[ThunderDan]

The Packers seem to shit the bed against good teams. They beat bad teams and okay teams, but they don't play well - they don't measure up - against elite teams. Maybe they're just not that good.

We may still be a year or two away from being a powerhouse.

Redid the RB, LBs and S. Still have some positions that need a lot of help

[beveaux1]

Does Willis need to go in?

The problem isn't Love. Down 20-3, why do you run the ball on 2nd down? Time to open it up, pass nearly every down.

[sharpe1027]

Defense is fine. More pressure and they'd be really good.

Offense missed opportunities with mistakes.

[Teamcheez1]

It shouldn’t be the offense that is losing the game.

[ThunderDan]

D comes up huge. Great pick by Valentine.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Even with the pick, the Packers self destruct.

[MadtownPacker]

The problem isn't Love. Down 20-3, why do you run the ball on 2nd down? Time to open it up, pass nearly every down.
It seems like he isn’t trusted to do that?

Yeah!!! Now TD has to be scored.

[Rastak]

Really nice pick.

[beveaux1]

Pass rush and an interception.

[Rastak]

Darnold has been doing this all year. Let teams back in.

[Fritz]

We may still be a year or two away from being a powerhouse.

Redid the RB, LBs and S. Still have some positions that need a lot of help

I hate watching DB's returning interceptions. They hold it so loosely.

[ThunderDan]

Our O couldn’t do that the last few years.

TD Jingleheimer Schmidt.

[MadtownPacker]

Darnold has been doing this all year. Let teams back in.
As much as I want to hate that wasn’t a bad throw. Just a hell of a leap to steal it.

[Joemailman]

We may still be a year or two away from being a powerhouse.

Redid the RB, LBs and S. Still have some positions that need a lot of help

I felt going into this year that I wanted to see progress, but that 2025 was the year they could really make a run for it all.

[Fritz]

Offense still needs to pick it up. And the D needs to figre out how to get to Darnold.

[Rastak]

Imas much as I want to hate that wasn’t a bad throw. Just a hell of a leap to steal it.

It sure was a good pick.

[sharpe1027]

We may still be a year or two away from being a powerhouse.

Redid the RB, LBs and S. Still have some positions that need a lot of help

Edge. DT. O-line.

[beveaux1]

Edge. DT. O-line.

CB

[Joemailman]

Bullard has had a tough day.

[ThunderDan]

Come on Bullard. You can’t wait for the WR to come to you. Go up and make the tackle.

[Teamcheez1]

Bullard is struggling all game.

[ThunderDan]

Where is Clark today? Haven’t seen him do anything today.

[sharpe1027]

CB
True.

[Teamcheez1]

Darnold has 28 completions.
Love has 9.

[ThunderDan]

Cooper shooting the gap and making the tackle again. I don’t think Quay makes that at all.

[sharpe1027]

We miss Bourbon.

[ThunderDan]

Someone with a terrible effort on the tackle.

[ThunderDan]

Cooper with the missed tackle there.

[Sparkey]

Green Bay confirming they are the third best team in the Division.

[ThunderDan]

We miss Bourbon.

Yes, we do.

[Joemailman]

We miss Bourbon.

I could use some bourbon about now.

[MadtownPacker]

Darnold has 28 completions.
Love has 9.
Not taking what the defense would give him. One of his worst days IMO.

[Teamcheez1]

We were never going to win this game scoring less than 30 points.
I don’t blame the defense.

[sharpe1027]

I could use some bourbon about now.

Go for it...

[Rastak]

I could use some bourbon about now.


Speaking of which, did Red drop off the earth?

[MadtownPacker]

I can’t say anything bad about the defense. How long can they hold vikings down? Offense was a failure this game.

[ThunderDan]

I could use some bourbon about now.

I’m drinking brandy.

[beveaux1]

Our D shows how good we are against a good offense. We're not there yet. It's an average defense.

If we control the clock by running the ball, we keep our D off the field and we can win.

If the offense makes mistakes and we don't score, we can't rely on the defense to keep us in the game.

[ThunderDan]

Not sure we have the right DL for a 4-3.

Love drops a nice pass. Doubs trips and drops the pass.

[Fritz]

Vikings' receivers have better hands than the Packers' receivers.

[ThunderDan]

Our D shows how good we are against a good offense. We're not there yet. It's an average defense.

If we control the clock by running the ball, we keep our D off the field and we can win.

If the offense makes mistakes and we don't score, we can't rely on the defense to keep us in the game.

A lot of truth to this.

Have to remember we are in year 1 of switching to a 4-3.

Certainly showing more promise than the last handful of years.

[Fritz]

Not taking what the defense would give him. One of his worst days IMO.

I agree. He's made some bad decisions - what was with all those bombs to guys who are covered?

[Teamcheez1]

Our D shows how good we are against a good offense. We're not there yet. It's an average defense.

If we control the clock by running the ball, we keep our D off the field and we can win.

If the offense makes mistakes and we don't score, we can't rely on the defense to keep us in the game.

In the ideal world, we run clock and control the game.
When we get to these high level games, your QB has to excel to win the game.
Our $250M man has not shown he can take over and win these games this year.

[Fritz]

Packer offense has been imploding all day.

[Teamcheez1]

Love with 64 yards as we start the 4th qtr.

[Fritz]

I'm turning the game off.
This is just punishment.
Packers not up to the task. Minnesota is a better team. Period.

[Rastak]

Blood in the water, sharks moving in.

[Teamcheez1]

The offense is pathetic.
We certainly didn’t take a step forward this year which is very disappointing.

[MadtownPacker]

Our D shows how good we are against a good offense. We're not there yet. It's an average defense.

If we control the clock by running the ball, we keep our D off the field and we can win.

If the offense makes mistakes and we don't score, we can't rely on the defense to keep us in the game.
I don’t know about that. The defense kept the game close the whole first half. Offense could only score when gifted the ball at the 20 after the INT.

[MadtownPacker]

Blood in the water, sharks moving in.
Wish Willis would get in. Might pull the shocker!

But yeah fuk the purple! You got this one in the bag thanks to Love and Matt “Pepe” LePew.

[sharpe1027]

Nobody in today's NFL consistently shuts down a good offense without complimentary ball control on offense.

This one is 80% on the offense.

[Teamcheez1]

Darnold 312 yards.
Love 64 yards.

[beveaux1]

I agree. He's made some bad decisions - what was with all those bombs to guys who are covered?

Love hasn't really been the problem today. He had 12 passes at halftime. Game plan was run, run, run. If you make mistakes and don't score, you have to rely on your defense.

It wasn't up to the challenge. Now Love has to pass every down and Minnesota has a pass rush. We weren't good enough on defense or on offense today.

[ThunderDan]

Cooper again going sideline to sideline and stops that for a 2 yard gain.

[Rastak]

Wish Willis would get in. Might pull the shocker!

But yeah fuk the purple! You got this one in the bag thanks to Love and Matt “Pepe” LePew.


It's the NFL not the English Premier league so anything can happen in the playoffs.

[ThunderDan]

Bullard is blitzing. Has the edge and let’s the TE take him out of the play.

[Teamcheez1]

We will be drafting heavily on defense again this year.

[MadtownPacker]

Nobody in today's NFL consistently shuts down a good offense without complimentary ball control on offense.

This one is 80% on the offense.
Easily. Maybe even 90%. MN isn’t that special on D. Packers offense passing game just hasn’t been good for weeks now.

[Teamcheez1]

Love hasn't really been the problem today. He had 12 passes at halftime. Game plan was run, run, run. If you make mistakes and don't score, you have to rely on your defense.

It wasn't up to the challenge. Now Love has to pass every down and Minnesota has a pass rush. We weren't good enough on defense or on offense today.
There is no game plan where win by running all game.
We had to have a good day passing.

[sharpe1027]

Love hasn't really been the problem today. He had 12 passes at halftime. Game plan was run, run, run. If you make mistakes and don't score, you have to rely on your defense.

It wasn't up to the challenge. Now Love has to pass every down and Minnesota has a pass rush. We weren't good enough on defense or on offense today.

Bullshit. Defense was good. Offense kept giving the ball back. No defense in the NFL keeps the Vikings down given this many chances. None.

[Rutnstrut]

Love is good when EVERYTHING is working. Not so good when a little adversity hits.

[MadtownPacker]

It's the NFL not the English Premier league so anything can happen in the playoffs.Ibdont know what’s worse. Your purple talk or that futbol shit! :lol:

Damn this game sucks!!!

[ThunderDan]

There is no game plan where win by running all game.
We had to have a good day passing.

Tell that Phil and Balt.

Good tackle by Cooper. He is going to be special.

[MadtownPacker]

At least we know how the vikings will lose in playoffs. :lol:

[Joemailman]

At least Cooper came to play.

[Rastak]

At least we know how to vikings will lose in playoffs. :lol:


Sadly happens all the time. Oh and Futbol is life!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Looks like the Queens’ fat punter got in shape.

What’s his name again? Ray Guy, son of Fat Guy?

[Teamcheez1]

Tell that Phil and Balt.

Good tackle by Cooper. He is going to be special.

I’m talking about the Packers.
We don’t have the team to emulate either Philly or Balt.

[Rastak]

Looks like the Queens’ fat punter got in shape.

What’s his name again? Ray Guy, son of Fat Guy?

Mr Twenty Seven.

[Teamcheez1]

At least Cooper came to play.

I think we should consider drafting his running mate at LB.

[ThunderDan]

At least Cooper came to play.

10 tackles, 7 solos, 4 TFLs.

[Rastak]

Why are the Vikings rushing 3?

[ThunderDan]

What an incredible run by Jacobs.

Too bad there is a penalty.

[beveaux1]

Bullshit. Defense was good. Offense kept giving the ball back. No defense in the NFL keeps the Vikings down given this many chances. None.

Offense did keep giving the ball back. That's what I said. Lost fumble, dropped passes, penalties. When your game plan is to run 3 downs out of 4, these are mistakes that can't happen.

If they do happen, the D has to keep them from scoring. They couldn't keep them from scoring. The game was over at half time down 2 scores. Offense and defense failed.

[sharpe1027]

That was not a hold. It was hands to the face on MN.

[Rastak]

That was not a hold. It was hands to the face on MN.


Actually Jacobs did exactly that on this very same play.

Defense kept them in the game. Every defense in the NFL eventually fails under those circumstances.

Your expectations are unrealistic.

[MadtownPacker]

That FG that was passed up in the first half coming back to haunt us.

[sharpe1027]

Actually Jacobs did exactly that on this very same play.
Stiff arm to the head isn't a hands to the face penalty.

[Teamcheez1]

You don’t need to go for 2.

[MadtownPacker]

Beve might have started drinking a bit early today?

[Rastak]

Believe it is when the hand goes inside the facemask as it appeared. Doesn't matter. Should be an interesting finish.

[ThunderDan]

Cooper with the tackle on the kickoff.

[Joemailman]

You don’t need to go for 2.

Going for the win.

[sharpe1027]

Could be. I didn't catch that

[Bretsky]

That Field Goal we passed up earlier would be nice to have on our score now

[ThunderDan]

Believe it is when the hand goes inside the facemask as it appeared. Doesn't matter. Should be an interesting finish.

Probably not.

[Rastak]

Standing around like morons.

[Bretsky]

DOES REED JUSt SUCK ? I thought he was going to be our #1 WR. Dude's not getting open and I don't think he's an elite route runner. We REALLY missed Watson
[
Now Tucker Kraft, he's way better than I thought he was. He looks like the real deal.

But WTF Wide Receivers. Weak performance. And the OL was crappy too

[sharpe1027]

That's a forward pass.

[ThunderDan]

Fumble on the play I think. Pack ball.

[Bretsky]

And is Aaron Jones not the best RB for the Vikings. It's completely whacked out how he's used.

[Rastak]

Deleted a great great catch.

[ThunderDan]

D got the 3 and 1/2 and out.

[Teamcheez1]

Bullard could have drilled Jefferson on that catch.

[Joemailman]

Vikings didn't burn much time.

[beveaux1]

Vikings didn't burn much time.

They threw the ball 3 times.

[Bretsky]

That's a shit sack to take

[ThunderDan]

I know Minn is playing off, but maybe some of these quick outs would have been ok earlier in the game.

[Rastak]

Make up call?

[ThunderDan]

Why are we running there? We need time more than a surprise run.
