Its amazing that there aren't enough Viking fans to drown out the "GO PACK GO" cheers.

That HAS to be embarrassing for the Vikings. How does that happen?

Bp. Your teams offense is the worst I've seen.
There not in the same class yet, maybe never be!

That isn't true. GB defensive line are playing like world beaters.

If they had two decent OL this offense would be deadly. They truely should think of trading AP in a Hershal Walker type deal.

They are in the right direction and this division is far from decided.

looking at the schedules,i think green bay wins the division going away...the vikes follow this with the falcons,seahawks and cardinals(2 of the 3 away)...and finish with green bay in green bay....

I don`t think green bay`s d is near as dominant as minny`s offense made them look today...looked like they had a good game plan(clay Mathews spied Peterson and he took him away)...after that,it was over(you can only go to kyle Rudolph so many times:SIB)...

green bay`s the class of the division,though,and it really isn`t close...

Tough Week to be a Viking fan... everything lined up for them.. Vikings playing very good (best in years), playing at home, playing a Packer team with a QB that has looked like Kaepernick for a few weeks...

Yet the Packers typically bitch slapped them, as a big brother would, to help them realize who is boss.

So, what do the Vikings do? Clearly they have to realize that their offense is not good enough to win a division (except the AFC South, of course) in the NFL. Peterson is still a beast, although the Packers did whip him like he would his son, but (sorry, couldn't resist)....

The Vikings will never be legitimate until they solve the QB issue. I know it is really hard to find true NFL QB's - and the Packers have been blessed with Starr/Favre/Rodgers, but Bridgewater is not the answer, nor will he ever be. That is the truth. A game manager (think Alex Smith) at best....

Vikings will struggle to make the playoffs, with their upcoming schedule. It was a nice story for awhile, but once they played their big brother, it was all over.

And now the Vikings have won too many games to have a shot at a top flight QB for next year. Which is great for GB - another team to not have to worry about for a few years.......

This game was over before it even started. Vikings knew they were playing a better team.

I wasn`t really knocking the vikes....they`re getting better.....but green bay has established leadership and a ton of continuity from their star players ,to their coaching staff and right on down the line...Rodgers misses nelson no doubt but they do have "functional" depth at wideout.......they hit a rough patch but could just as easily go on a late season run....

it`s all about who gets hot at the right time...

g.l. to the vikes going forward...

Hahaha I would argue that Bridgewater will be fine, I don't know what you were watching but nothing I watched would lead me to believe that Teddy was at fault for the loss. I think Teddy showed some moxy. You are not going to get good production from a QB when your offensive line is that bad and you take a bunch of penalties. Teddy was 25 of 37 for 296 yards and you watched the game and how it unfolded and this was your post. Comical

BP - my point was, TB put up a bunch of his numbers in garbage time. The biggest problem the Vikings have on offense is that they are very similar to the Rams. They both have one of the best RB in football. But since neither has a decent QB, both teams are faced with 8 and 9 defenders in the box, making it very hard to run the football.

FYI - just checked passer ratings in the NFL....TB is #21... the problem with that, when you look at the list, every team with a passer ranked #21 or lower doesn't have a playoff chance.

You can't win without a good QB. To me, TB doesn't look like anything special. But I do realize how hard it is to find a top notch QB. There are only 7-8 in the league at a given time.....

2 big stat lines from the game'


8 penalties for 100 yards

6 sacks.

Case in point... Packers blitzed a ton. They did not worry about the deep secondary, as TB is not a threat to throw deep.

With all the blitzes, shouldn't that have opened it up for shots down the field (at least once in a while)? Yes, the Rudolph TB was a fantastic throw, but saw little to nothing throwing to Wallace, Diggs and Johnson (who I still think is your best WR - what happened to him)?

His passing yards didn't come in garbage time. They didn't move the ball in garbage time. His passer rating isn't the best but he's working with very little on offense.
