Game 4: Vikings @ Packers - Sunday, Sept 29th at 12PM

I'm confused how the punt recovery wasn't a TD? I guess I stopped paying attention and just assumed it was a TD so I didn't see an explanation.

Can't advance a muff

The you can’t advance a muffed punt. Only if he fumbles after already gaining possession of the ball.

Well MLF got bailed out.

I thought my post was pretty reasonable and well-explained to get hit with the "unbelievable" response. What part about it was unbelievable?

That you are unable to acknowledge the reality of Minnesota being a far superior team 

No problem though - I appreciate fandom 

I love the Pack as much as anyone on this board 

 

[HarryDoyle]

The muffed punt rule is so stupid. Why can't you not advance a punt?

I'm referring to a different play

Which one?

Guess I didn't realize that, was thinking that was more of a college rule. To be fair I think it's been a long time since I've seen a muffed punt that didn't look like it was immediately down by contact.

Minnesota is obviously the better team today. I never didn't "acknowledge" that. 

I pointed out that who you are in Week 18 can and usually is vastly different than your Week 4 team. A September game result isn't necessarily indicative of a massive talent disparity between two teams. That's all. 

[adambr2]

Narveson has one path to being on this roster next week. 

Come back and drill a 55 yarder to win 31-28. That's about all. 

[edfunderburk]

The thing I hate most about today’s game is that it is in Green Bay

I wish it was in Minnesota … I’d prefer to have them come here later in the year when we’re trying to get into the playoffs 

Losing at home in this fashion to a division rival & falling two games back is challenging 

I also wish Willis had started today … it would be easier to accept a punishing defeat at home without Love

Losing both cornerbacks before kickoff gave me plenty of concern - but I never expected to fall behind 28-0

LaFluer prepared the team extremely well the two previous weeks - not so much today

I didn’t suggest there was a talent gap … I do believe there is a coaching & preparedness gap

Never thought my October interest in the Brewers would outlast my interest in the Packers.

I think there is a bit of a talent gap as well.

No doubt, Lafleur's preparation for today was clearly inadequate.

I’m pretty sure we’ve seen the last of Narveson no matter what he does the remainder of this game 

I’d expect Guty to be on the phone at halftime lining up potential replacements for tryouts tomorrow morning

I don't buy it. Most teams had Minnesota pegged as the last place team in this division this year. Clearly they were underestimated, but now they're a talent superior team and Darnold is an MVP level QB after a 3+ game sample size? I don't buy it. 

[adambr2]

Looks like a catch to me, but the way things they've called those today they'll probably reverse it again. 

[homer]

these announcers are pretty awful

[adambr2]

Won't get back in this game with 3 and outs, that's for certain. 

[adambr2]

For God's sake Haley. BLITZ. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. The second I saw them show it and drop out of it I knew they were going to give Darnold all day and get burned on 3rd and long again. 

[homer]

watch them overturn this INT

[adambr2]

I actually don't know if Xavier caught that. He was juggling it most of the way down. 

[HarryDoyle]

The way things are going the officials will say incomplete now due to the bobble at the end.

[nate82]

I don't get how Sam Darnold is playing this well 4-weeks into the season.  He shouldn't be playing this good.
