Packers Vikings Game Thread

I had to look if that TD impacted the gamblers.

Somebody made some money, if they bet on that ending

 

[Team Ronny]

Yeah I mean why couldn’t Golden step right in and light it up like Adams did??

Any impact at all from Golden would be better than nothing. What did he have on the season 10 catches for maybe 100 yds??? Greg Jennings as a third Rd pick produced more as a rookie, same with Freeman. I get there's a lot of wre, but you don't spend a first Rd pick on a guy for him to have no impact.

We were never a Super Bowl favorite

We were one of, if not the favorite, after Week 2.

And he catches the ball. Probably he and Reed should trade off sometimes in the slot

He had 400 all purpose. 353 receiving. I was surprised he had 0 TD’s. I’m not expecting 100 targets, but he’s a guy that should have at min 50-60 targets in a Rookie season and he finished with 41 targets. By years end he was fighting for a 4th target option with Wicks.

Still a relative disappointment, but he finished nowhere close to 10 for 100

First I get it, JV offense vs. Vikes, however, it shows very, very weak 2nd and 3rd string players. Def. did not show well either, Simpson gets a lump of coal for committing 2 defensive penalties on the same play.... After 4 losses in a row, this team does not look like they can compete with either Philly or Chi. Their pitiful performance today along with the look on MLF face throughout the game does not give a GB fan confidence that they are ready for the playoffs. Hope I am wrong but nothing in the 4 losses or even in the previous 2 wins against the bears (could easily have been a loss) and lions should give anyone confidence this team can win an away playoff game let alone move along in the playoffs. End of season ranking of each NFC Central team within the division IMO #1 Chi, #2 Vikes (5 wins in a row), #4 tie (Lions /Pack), might give #3 to Lions for their offense despite a porous D..

Tbh we have been most of the season. Even up until Parsons got hurt we had the 3rd best betting odds in the league. Some of the revisionist history here is odd….

Shame that the Packers are missing the playoffs after style points and emotion was factored in.

Except that I don't consider him the disappointment but the way he was used when he was playing.

Simpson though looked to me like he could play

 

[Team Ronny]

28 for 353, so minimal impact, I guess.

Thats more of what I was getting at, he's fast, use him!

 

[Firethorn1001]

Surprised Eagles aren't trying for #2 seed. Worlds difference. Assuring 2 home games at least.

Now I get some concern for our Passing game just barely functional level, but did you really expect a 3rd String QB from Practice Squad and a backup OL and backup weapons would light up the Vikings Defense? Do you even know the first thing about our leading WR today? I don’t.

I tell ya what. If I’m Minnesota held to 16 points at US Bank against mostly our scrubs? I’d be disappointed.

If I’m Chicago at Soldier Field getting semi-throttled by a struggling Detroit team 0-13 at halftime. I’m at minimum concerned to a minor disappointed there with an old goose egg.

If I’m the Eagles at home? Allowing a
Team with 4 Wins on the season to go toe to toe with me and slapping me around like a fellow 4 Win team while in my house?
I’m VERY concerned.

The more I consider it. I’m not really scared of the Eagles at all. I think they are struggling and while they do have talent, I could easily see GB knock them off and do it without playing our best.

I agree. Although I believe they are trying to Win I just think they’re not the team we are accustomed to.

 

[Firethorn1001]

. Although I truly don’t believe they are not trying either. I just think they’re not

Not trying from a standpoint that they are resting key starters.

Only team really clicking is the Seahawks. The other teams are all not clicking on some level (including the Packers). I don't see how someone can just state as a fact that Packers have no chance to win against anyone.

Calling a timeout with 1 second left to lose a game 16-3 instead of 16-0 perfectly encapsulates the petty and cringey personality of our head coach.

it affected neither the over/under or the spread. It was nothing more than Matt Lafleur making himself feel better that we don’t get shut out.

They might win anyway, Washington is that bad.

 

[AGreen2AJones]

Bears down 16-0 now tied 16-16 after a pair of touchdowns and two point conversions.

And Detroit is completely imploding. In FG range and passing instead of running and burning clock, and just threw an interception.

Bears will probably win. I hate them so much.

Lions get ball back with 1:55 left. One more chance.

Yep...honestly rather have the Packers play Philly than Chicago...but doesn't look like it
