2024 Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings Official Game Thread

Has the definition of "holding" changed?

The Vikings aren't going to be stopped anymore unless Darnold goes Jets version more. The fact they hardly ever hit him makes that unlikely.

D is stepping up as per usual

That was nice to see a DB run right pass jones, my god

QB is in his second season as a starter, the team is currently 10-4, and they’ve made the playoffs for the second straight season with the youngest team in the league.

By all means, time to blow it up and start over. 🙄

59 passing yards vs 303 passing yards.

He is in his 5th season.

We finally have a LB..   

Cooper with a TFL on Jones.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Long yardage situations haven't been an issue for Minnesota today. 

Dagger 2.0

Cooper is really good. He makes more plays than their first round front 7 picks combined (Walker, Wyatt, Van Ness, Gary, Clark).

DAGGER

And just after I say that, a 9-yard TD pass on 2d and goal. 

Hot knife, butter D

Gutless.

And the "horrible" GM traded down twice in the 2nd round to still get Cooper.

Just horrible GM'ing. Absolutely atrocious.

Embarrassing performance from the Packers. They resemble pretenders more than contenders.

Gary 12th overall pick. Then re-signed to a huge new deal.

Wyatt 28th overall pick.

LVN 13th overall pick.

Kenny Clark re-signed to a new deal in 2024.

You cannot get so little production out of so many 1st round picks, two of whom were re-signed for big $ in the past 18 months and expect to compete for a Super Bowl.

The other team can always count on the Packers defense.

You know it's a weird game when McKinney has been getting worked all game long.

I guess it's fair to say the Vikings are NOT the 'Aints.

Is that the love between a man and a woman, or the love of a man for a fine cigar?

Clinton asks why can't it be both!

Yep, that will do it. So we are a middling team this year, can’t beat ANY of the elite teams.  More salt in the wound, we will be 1-4 in division, ugh

Definitely not, but they do need to add a few key pieces.  A true #1 receiver, another high draft pick on the o-line, and a premier pass rusher.  And for MLF to get a killer instinct.  How many yea have we said he’s just too nice to be a head coach?

Gimme some Willis.

Where have Kraft and Musgrave been? About 1 play for each of them, early, and nothing since then.

Never said Love doesn’t need to improve. He clearly does.  Doesn’t mean you blow it all up and start over.

Lafleur gets tight in big games.

In retrospect, the big difference was the way they handled the end of the first half. They turned what could have been 10-6 into 13-3 and it's 3 possessions now instead of two, all because of presnap penalties.

Jacobs has more yards than Love 

Another bad drop.

Unless you throw to them it really doesn't help to have them out there.

The Vikings DL and OL are just better than the Packers OL and DL. Just like the Lions and Eagles are better in the trenches.
