And where the League, through it's officials, are supposed to protect the QBs. Not a flag thrown, nor even a mention of it being a late hit on Rodgers. Of course the vikings' fans who posted here said it was a legal hit. I still want revenge. I do not want to take Kark out, though. He's too valuable a tool, for GB, when he is on the field.
When it gets really dark in Packer land and we come to the end of another season (or to the realization that the season will end short of where we'd like it to), there is always comfort to be gained from looking at the state of the Purple.
After yesterday's glorious 31-28 home loss to the 2-7 Cowboys (who had lost 4 in a row and scored 10, 3, 9, and 19 in those Ls) the Queens are now 4-6 and currently hold the 13th pick in the draft.
With home games upcoming against the Panthers and Jags that should be Ws, followed by road games at TB and NO that should be Ls, and then what are likely to be two more Ws against their even more pathetic NFC North foes the Lions and Bears, the Queens should finish right at 8-8.
That will leave them with about the 18th pick in the draft to find Cousins' replacement in round 1 and, without a 2nd round pick as a result of the Ngokoue trade, mean that they will not be adding much to next season's roster at the top of the 2021 draft.
And as Harrison Smith gets older, Anthony Harris leaves in free agency, and Hunter demands to be the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL, it will be time to re-build the defense and begin the Queens merry-go-round of mediocrity once again.
Fun times in the land of 10,000 puddles.
But at least they've got Jefferson....
They already had Diggs. Now they got a younger Diggs?

They're preparing their roster for the expected reduction of the salary cap...

Younger and CHEAPER Diggs.
Jefferson is a better Diggs because he doesn't complain -- yet. And Jefferson is playing like a six-year vet. Guy can play. Hunter won't be the highest paid DL; he has a neck problem. We all know how that can affect a career. Even if he comes back healthy, no one will know that for a year or so until he can play. He'll most likely take a one-year prove-it deal so he can (hopefully) show he's healthy and score a big contract the next year.
So I thought we had learned pretty much everything there was to learn about Kirk over the last three years.
Not so fast... Today we learned he's fucking stupid enough to run two yards beyond the LOS then run backwards and try to throw a pass. I mean, kids in high school wouldn't do something that stupid.
KIRK COUSINS IS OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK!!! YESS!!

Well, how many Super Bowls did they win with the old Diggs. The new Diggs is so good I bet they match that total.
Hell, they might triple it!
The New Diggs will be infected by The Tool Shed just like the Old Diggs is.
To be fair, Cousins has almost looked like a QB in the past couple of games. Hate to say it, but his game vs GB gave him some confidence. He had it shaken a bit in the last game vs Carolina, but he then saved the game at the end. They have him throwing faster and shorter (read that as not having to read defenses and face a rush) and it's helped his game.
That's Cousins MO. Have a hot streak here and there, just enough to make the fans think he's the guy. Then revert to being something between a game manager and a turnover machine.
He needs to be on a team with a loaded OL and a good RB. He's got the back but the OL has issues. You put any pressure on him and he folds.
SAINTS ARE GOING TO Kill them
Not sure why they don't just forfeit. There is no chance playing against Taysom Hill.

Glad to see you coming around....
On Reddit the purple fans are using the ESPN playoff machine to demonstrate that they could still be the #1 seed.
Their fan base is delusional.
Bless their hearts.

I hope they stay delusional for another 60 years. Evidently false hope is better than no hope.
They have to hone their skills for the upcoming off season championship!

viking fans will never, ever stop bitching about the refs. It's like a requirement to be a fan or something
Jaymo is in there. Haha
I do think the PI on the Hail Mary was correct. Two Vikes jumped Gronk.
Old One Eye is old One Eye but I just can't see going for the 54 yard FG. There was less that 0% chance he would make it. He should have went for it instead. Even if the Suckqueens didn't get it any yards they did gain would have given Tampa a longer field than where the ball was placed for the kick.
How do you NOT call that PI? That was egregious. You can hack away on a hail mary, but you have to get into the scrummy part before you do it. He was all over Gronk before the scrum even started to form. PI all the way.
Vikings fans look at refs this way: the refs want to have 31 other teams in the playoffs and not the Vikings.
Vikings fans are the gift that keep on giving.
I can't imagine Bailey having a job after tomorrow.
THANK YOU MASON CROSBY!!
Not only did he drill a 58 yarder for a 10 pt lead....he saved a TD on the return.
They just need to kick the ball out of the endzone every fucking time from now on.
I'm more pissed at the Special Teams than the defense now.
Fuck the Vikings -- they stole our WR (Justin Jefferson)
The Packers weren't going to draft Jefferson anyway.
Love this that Bon Scott posted...
"Trump will forever be known as Potus who was so full of shit that country ran out of Toilet Paper."
I've heard it said on other Packers' blogs that we can screw up minnesota's draft, a bit, if we get Ngaoke, their former OLB, voted into the Pro Bowl. Something to do with Ngaoke getting elected to the Pro Bowl would make minnesota get a lower draft pick, in the first round. Anyone else hear this?
Heard it and voted!

Crosby kicked the ball 5 yards deep into the end zone as it was.
A touchback gives them the ball at the 25, but there is a risk of a long return against our special teams even with a return from deep in the end zone.
A squib kick probably gets them to the 35 or 40 yard line (gives up 10-15 yards), but no risk of a long return.
An onside kick gives them the ball at midfield (gives up 25 yards) with no risk of any return.
At some point you just have to squib it.
Or you can kick it high and short ~30/35yd line. That relies on at least one coverage guy getting there in time. More of a punting strategy but I've seen it done on KO's. I would think Mason could pull it off - I don't know if the rest of the unit could.
