Game 16: Vikings @ Packers - Sunday, January 2nd, 7:20PM CT

[AKCheesehead]

2 minutes and 3 timeouts I’ll be disappointed if they don’t score here.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I don’t know if Zimmer survives this season, but I don’t think their offensive staff should based on their nonsense game plan tonight.

 

I think Cousins being out at the end of the week and having next to no practice time really is most of this...its obvious their QB has no idea where guys outside his 1st read are.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Vikes defense is gassed

[DuWayne Steurer]

The good news is if we score again and go up 20 - 0 we can look forward to a 2nd half full of run/run/pass/punt possessions.

[FVBrewerFan]

Jones falls down 3 times and still gets 9 yards

[DuWayne Steurer]

He fell down and the Vikings defenders just kinda stopped like "well, he's down". Dudes, this ain't college. He can get up and run.

[PinaMadness]

If we, or more than likely win, this game, I bet we get a Saturday game against Detroit.

Then why aren’t they just plugging their all-pro RB? Cook has 7 carries.

He's gonna fall somewhat short of that predicted number of carries.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I need to listen to Paul Allen the 2nd half....just to make this even sweeter

[young guns]

Lol, if they go 3 incompletions, which would be dumb of them, there enough time left for another score lol. Edited January 3, 2022 by young guns

[yourout]

Wow.... That's is a couple of crazy good throws and catches.

[PinaMadness]

It's amazing how the best receivers in the league constantly get wide open.

They can't get a 1st down so they can't feed him constantly - he's getting like 2 yards a carry.

 

Cook also has a bum shoulder and is coming off a week he was out due to COVID.

[DuWayne Steurer]

360 spin move in the air, while effortlessly snagging the ball, getting both feet in bounds, and making it look easy.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Adams' footwork in tight spaces makes him HOF-caliber

So the game plan should be rollover and die, with your playoff life on the line? I guess the Vikings’ staff agrees….

I don't think they have much choice with the guy behind center - he would make any gameplan look like "roll over and die"

Not a chance. The whole point of the Saturday games is to put more games with playoff implications on national television. There's no way they put on a completely meaningless Packers/Lions game.

Possibly true…

 

But their effort thus far displays all the creativity of a wet stick.

They want to play those games on Sunday at the same time to keep teams from resting starters.

I would say that time out was to ice the kicker but when it's 10° out but I think they're trying to ice the football.

[nodakfan17]

I was optimistic that I’d get to bed at a reasonable time due to all of the Vikings’ rush attempts. Not so.

Living in MN, I've seen too much of the Vikings to basically expect as much on offense - and that actually goes up to Zimmer...I think Cousins is actually quite underrated in how much he improves their offense. He's not great, but he is really good.

No, they specifically announced both games on Saturday will have playoff implications.
