Game 16: Packers @ Vikings - Sunday, Dec. 31st 7:20 PM

Viking paying the refs I see.

[yourout]

NFL refs seem to be making rules up as they go lately.

[adambr2]

What a BS flag pickup. Just making up rules as they go. 

[young guns]

I don't know if that fair catch was by rule too late, but I feel like if that is a rule it shouldn't be.  There should not be an oh well I've already started barreling at you nothing I can do exception.

[CheezWizHed]

To be honest, I thought it was late and thus, "fair"... but that doesn't mean it was the actual rule.

Not crazy about that long shot on 3rd and short... seems like we gave up on that drive when it easily could've been something.

[yourout]

Didn't like that call on 3rd and a yard

[adambr2]

Look, don't run that on 3rd/4th and 1. Deep shots aren't Love's forte.

[CheezWizHed]

Smith!  Brooks!  FUMBLE!!!

[adambr2]

Preston!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Strip sack! Time to get points before the halftime.

[HarryDoyle]

Got a break there after the awful 3rd down play call.

[CheezWizHed]

The crowd is awfully quiet tonight...

[CheezWizHed]

REEEEEEEEEDDDDD!!!!!!

[HarryDoyle]

WHAT AN EFFORT BY REED!!!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

REEEEED! WOW that rookie is good!

….and there is the standard Carlson missed PAT.

[young guns]

Great run after the catch!

[yourout]

He'll yes.

[HarryDoyle]

I don't know about that. I heard a pretty loud Go Pack Go.

[adambr2]

Anders is good for one missed XP every week. 

[HarryDoyle]

Freakin' Carlson. Not even in a dome?

Chicago Bear's embarrassment watch:

Jordan Love is 118 yards and 1 TD away from matching the Chicago Bears' all-time QB single-season leader (Erik Kramer - remember that "legend"?)  .

71 yards to go... tied on TDs.

This will be a main story point next week.  Book it. 

[young guns]

First half thoughts, someone should check the Vikings booth to see if Barry got confused and is calling the Vikings defense and if so help barricade the door so they can't kick him out and start coaching our defense again.

Carlson leaves a lot to be desired especially in today's league where finding a really good one isn't all that hard. 

It'd be one think if he had some howitzer leg and was a little erratic but we've seen MLF neglect to kick mid 50 yarders and punt. <57 should be a damn near requirement if you're drafting a kicker or the guy should be super reliable. This guy is neither, maybe he'll get better but missing PATs like he does ain't too encouraging.

I'm trying to be patient because I know the Packers will...but yeah, good kickers are a dime a dozen these days, it'd be nice to have one. Like where did the Cowboys get the dude they have?
