Game 16: Packers @ Vikings - Sunday, Dec. 29th 3:25 PM

[HarryDoyle]

So this happened on this day 11 years ago .

[Strike4]

Really can’t be turning the ball over

[HarryDoyle]

Not a good way to start the game.

[wOOgiE22]

Well that isn’t a good start. Need to hold onto the ball. 

[adambr2]

Wouldn’t be a big game if we didn’t start it  out with a self-inflicted wound.

[yourout]

In the grand scheme this doesn't mean a ton. 

Would be great to win but not if it comes with a bunch of injuries.

It will if Washington wins their last two and our playoff road begins with a trip to Philly.

[HarryDoyle]

They really need to win to show they can play with the big boys. Being 0-5 against Detroit, Minnesota and Philly doesn't inspire confidence for me personally and teams shouldn't be afraid to play this team. I mean, what's their signature win this year? Houston?

[yourout]

Woof .. Bad series.

[adambr2]

Had good offensive rhythm on the first drive. Not so much on that one.

[OldHeidelberg]

Nothing but deep throws and Love isn't in a rhythm yet. Awful play calls lucky the punter bailed us out. 

[yourout]

Pass rush needs to get home.

[adambr2]

Way too much time. Doesn’t matter how good your coverage is when your pass rush is that bad.

[adambr2]

Thought Nixon was burned for sure.

[HarryDoyle]

I would've gone for it if I was Minnesota.

Yeah, stunned the didn't but thought they made FG too.

[adambr2]

That was kind of a puzzling decision. I go for that field position on 4th and three 9 times out of 10. Thanks for the ball at midfield I guess.

[Strike4]

If they could just turn these pressures into actual sacks …..

[wOOgiE22]

Have good field position now. Good opportunity to open the scoring. 

[OldHeidelberg]

This may not be the score fest I was expecting. 20-19 or something like that.

[yourout]

Little to far to go for it.

[adambr2]

We need to find ways to be a little more efficient in the red zone and not have to settle for FGs like that.

3 yards? Best case scenario is 7, worst is the Vikings are buried in field position at their own 3.

Yes, we don't really have the red zone passing game you would like to gamble from the 4. If that 3rd down play was Kraft might have got it in.

Was not a fan of the 1st down play. Should have ran the 2nd down play on 1st. That set them back from that distance.
