Packers vs Vikings Game Thread: No annoying Horn Edition

[OldSchool101]

You make a good point, but I have never been a fan of gunslinger throw because a lot of times its a TO

Sure. Still got us a SB though. Plus a visit to another SB.

 

[OldSchool101]

Love 389 yards 4TD 3 INT. Still a dynamic performance for working back off injury.

Didn’t get any help with Kraft fumble either.

Thanks Narvelson

To be charitable, not like special teams haven't cost a game in the past 10 years. Narveson is just carrying on a tradition. Time for him to move on.

I'm not saying GB didn't have its chances, and I wasn't able to watch the game, but it sounds like a lot of garbage time points to me.

Seriously...when was the last time Packers had a VERY good defense?

I say 1997.

 

[Sanguine camper]

Usually his teams take good care of the ball though. I'm putting this game down as a bit of a fluke, and a warmup for Love.

I agree, Love needed to play the rust off. I had my doubts coming into the game that he would shine from the get go. No surprise he was terrible in the first half. He didn't play in the pre-season to speak of and then sat the last two weeks with an injury. No way is he in rhythm to start the game.

The GREAT Vikings D gave up just short of 500 yds today! LOL

Lousy on side kick

Trying something different I guess.

NFL has made onsides almost a miracle hail mary play at this point. I'd rather they just line up at 4th and 20 at the 30 and do that.

Tale of 2 halves. They made an error not just trying to pressure Darnold more in the 1st half instead of just playing back trying to not have Jefferson beat them and that wasn't working. When pressured, Darnold made errors.

My long term aspects for them don't change much on this game.

 

[Team Ronny]

5 turn overs, 2 missed fgs. No defense and lost by 2. The defense needed to play better in the 1st half. The whole team looked hungover!

They aren't as good as they were bragged up to be! They got away with a few p.i. and hands to face.

Well if garbage time points were the Vikings goal it almost cost them the game. If the Packers were up 28-0 and the final was 31-29 people on the forum would be livid.

It's suddenly like we fielded a totally brand new O. Love looked very rusty and needed more settling in time.

Should have started more run heavy and gradually transitioned Love in. MLF needs to do this smarter.

Another winnable game down the drain.

I wouldn’t call a 6 point game with 10:16 left in Qtr 4 garbage time.

It’s how the game rolls. We’ve been on the other end going conservative. The Vikings were fighting for their lives with over half the 4th Qtr clock.

Tucker Craft......Bum!

 

[Team Ronny]

Those drive killing penalties need to stop too. Way too many this season!

 

[Outsider99]

Nervouson is a joke

 

[Sanguine camper]

Second time the offense scored 29 points despite not clicking and the result was a loss due to terrible special teams and a soft defense. When have we seen that before?

 

[rmontro]

Well if garbage time points were the Vikings goal it almost cost them the game.

It happens.

 

[Firethorn1001]

Tucker Craft......Bum!

Congrats. Out of 14 posts in 3 years you managed to have 2 that are semi positive. The other 12 everyone is a bum, terrible or overrated. Tells me all I need to know about needing to pay attention to you.

I agree 100%. Pack just could not cover their first half mess - almost...but know, horseshoes and hand grenades.

Just really ugly start. We let the Vikings just score at Will for several early drives. Once this happened we abandoned the Running game. The Run was one of our best strengths. It was like losing our best player.

Had it been just 7-21 or 14-28 at halftime we could’ve Run a lot more.

 

[milani]

Yeah it's early are we getting our ***** kicked. Jones is running all over us

He never got his leap today.

Maybe we could offer the Patriots our no. 1 pick for next year for their kicker. He just made a 63 yarder. His team is lousy and in rebuild. They need players, we need a kicker.
