No Jaire. Big surprise, he always seems to miss the Vikings games.

Not looking good.

Defense is not pressuring Darnold consistently-he has way too much time.

No Jaire, so they go man and three rushers.

Does Hafley understand the QB he is playing against? You need to place pressure on him, as he will make mistakes. Lots of them. McDuffie drops ball in his bread basket....sheesh!

THIS is what I'm talking about when I say "get the TEs more involved!" They broadcast #88 on the play, and he STILL got the first first down! It wasn't pretty, this is Musgrave. MLF could have mimicked the Queens playcalling, but I think Josh Jacobs has been more effective than Aaron Jones so far. A comparison I really don't want to have to make.

Heath has to go low for the ball. Should have been six

Is this a good time to remind everybody that we didn't miss a single FG from 40 or under last year?

Packers move the ball well on their first possession, but stop themselves with a penalty, a dropped pass, and a missed FG, one right after the other.

Need a kicker

Too many mistakes early. We can't beat a good team playing this way...

Packers are playing nervous.

Everyone keeps supporting gute and this is the crap u get. Pathetic at early round drafting and kicker should get him fired

These penalties are really getting ridiculous.

where is Rashan Gary? Is he off today?

A PI penalty. Now we can blame the refs for this debacle.

I'm turning it off for the next 30 minutes-the product out there looks unprepared in all 3 components.
If the D and the kicker don't improve, pull Love-he can't carry this mess w/an injured leg.

Joe Montana...err Sam Darnold...is having quite a game!

Penalty-fest. Defense looks terrible!

This game is painful to watch.

Can't stop the run, can't stop the pass, can't get to Darnold.

Penalties galore, seems to be the only thing consistent with this team.

Vikings 2nd TD drive: Facemask on Cooper, PI on Stokes, Defensive Holding on Nixon. Three first downs and over 40 yards. See, the STATS will look great, because we didn't give up very many rushing yards, or passing yards, so unless you actually measured by POINTS, you don't realize that this was a bad defensive series.

14-0 During the Brett Favre years, we NEVER came back from more than 14. Rodgers did it a couple of times, but if we fall any further behind then that's going to be a real ominous development.

We Sit Love. He has no zip on the ball. Yes, receivers dropped a few but that int is on him

And now an interception. Is it too early to start drinking?

Time to take out Love before he gets hurt.

Walker cannot be the guy at LT. Watson lucky he didn't get his knee snapped. Viqueens fourth completion along the left side on first down. Darnold is a left-handed, Hafley, figure it out...yet?

Time to trade Jaire, Gary and Clark. If anyone wants them.

Nervous and unprepared at home? Terrible in all 3 aspects of the game.

How many screens have they run down the Pack's throats?

LaFleur, see how a real team works in the red zone? Take notes!

And good night.

No More Years, for Nixon...GARY, not square to the line. O'Connell is killing them with his outside game. Piss poor technique by the edge people.

Soft team soft coaches , Same old story .

First 3 drives:

73 yds...TD
73 yds...TD
46 yds...YD

Darnold 154.2 QB rating.

Wow!

That was a terrible effort by McKinney on the block against him. 1st time, I have seen him lack effort.

Thank God Joe Barry isn’t here or we’d be getting gashed on the ground and giving up short completions. Remember how often teams scored 3 straight .TDs on us to start the game?

Narveson can't hit a barn wall from inside the barn....

Wow, booing at home. Deserved.

Old fashioned ass kicking. Painful to watch.

another missed kick who’s gonna defend this bum now .

Is Gute going to find a real kicker soon? Instead of these Al Del Greco lookalikes?

Anybody have Mason Crosbys's number?

If there was a 4th phase in football, they'd probably be terrible at that today too. Hopefully, they'll get it out of their system this game and move on. This game, for all intents and purposes, is over.

The last 2 weeks we have been playing bottom feeders while the Vikings have been playing good teams. It shows.

COME ON GB. SCORE HERE THEN GET KICK OFF 2ND HALF SCORE AGAIN. 21-14 LETS GO

GOING TO HAVE TO BRING BACK CARLSON

I think this game is going to get closer. It’s only the second quarter.

So a wake-up call! Game is not over!! But this is an every man step-up situation. No more penalties. No more watching somebody else make a play (o-line & others). Catch the damn ball defense and offense! Go Pack!!

Love should be on bench, to this point he is damaged goods.

That’s our $55 mil man!!

ITS HORRIBLE MARV. BRING IN MALIK

Why am I even watching this clown show, I could be playing Space Marine II instead.... Or I could be punching myself in the groin, it would be more enjoyable than this.

Nixon 1:1 w/ Jefferson is an automatic TD. Hafley getting schooled.

Time to put Malik in. No reason to risk an insult to injury with this shit show.

I’ve been reading all week how Darnold sucks. I sure hope he doesn’t get good!

Someone who understands quality kickers should supervise Gutekunst and Bissaccia while shopping for a decent kicker.

Doesn't look like Love took many reps in practice...

Is Walker missing his blitz pick-up or what?

That’s bullshit. Hand under ball.

Two plays in a row. Since blades of grass are going to overturn plays, I’d direct the grounds crew to cut the field shorter.

Flag day!

A TD here might make half time more bearable.

The whole team is unwatchable! Poor poor coaching! Their receivers are eating our DB's lunch! Stokes is shit and Alexander never plays against the Vikings he's scared shitless about Jefferson! This team will not get to post season. Jones is ripping Gute a new one today! What a fucking joke!

Down 28, things looking up. For starters, we won't be going for 3 in 2nd half :)

Has Lafluer ever had a successful challenge?

Now, Tom getting schooled

Wasted & stupid challenge.

MLF and his entire staff are getting schooled.

Horrible. Turn the page & prepare for next week

Walker is a fucking moron!

Let's hope GB shows some pride during these last 2 minutes. Gotta take something out of this half.

On that 4th down pass...TE wide open down the right sideline for a first down. Still have to play the game.

Any word on Christian's injury?

Third Drop by Doubs. Not a goto guy ,today.

Bring back Dingle Barry!

The mark of a Champion is that when they get knocked down, they get back up. They don't just give up in the second quarter. The Packers are plenty capable of scoring enough points to get back in this game.

NEVER QUIT!

Dammit, Matt!! Settle down!!

ANOTHER FUCKING PENALTY!!!!! You couldn't make this bs up.

Forget Doubs, get the ball to Reed if you want to WIN this game. He and Kraft are the playmakers. Vegas call by the refs. LaFleur was signaling at the 28 second mark and the SJ was looking right at him.

Love can't push off his left leg. (I have a meniscus injury and have found out that everything is connected to the knee-lol)
He's not ready to play.
And, the D and their coach are being schooled.

Did the Viking pay off the refs again?

Missing in the melee, is 2 defensive stops by the Packers in difficult situations.

I'd like to say I'm shocked at how many posters here are reacting to the scoreboard and not paying attention to the play on the field in terms of Love's performance.

He looks just fine out there. Yeah, it's clear his mobility isn't 100%, but he's throwing the ball just fine. Only 'questionable' throw was the tight window to Watson, and he got it in there and it hit Watson's hands. The other INT, in my opinion, was intended for Doubs and the TE mistakenly went up for a ball that wasn't meant for him and deflected it.

Defense is clearly outmatched without Jaire and Valentine available.

I hate to say it, but the Vikings are a good team in the first 1/4 of the 2024 season.

So if the Pack doesn't score on its possession after half should they take Love out?? Why not?

0 sacks/0 QB hits/1 TFL vs 1 sack/6 QB hits/3 TFL.

That HAS to change in the 2nd half if there is any chance of getting back into this game. It can be done. It's gut check time.

Oh, yeah, one more reminder:

You can't have an amazing come from behind win, without first having fallen into a monumental deficit.

Let's see if Hafley is a good DC, or a great one.

GPG

I just want to remind everybody that beating the Vikings when they think they have a chance to win is more fun than just beating them. I'd also point out that we were 2-5 last year. I'd also like to point out that Minnesota has a long history of fast starts and feeble finishes.

We could score on the first possession of the 2nd half and make it 28-14. Plenty of time yet.

I can see the argument for Willis. Love doesn't look like his leg is right yet. Still, if we want to score 21 points in the second half, we're going to have to throw.

Refs need remedial training on balls touching the ground when hands are clearly under the ball. Their subjective reading of the rule is wrong.

At least the Packers salvaged the TD before the half. Maybe take the opening kickoff and get to 28-14. Still too many penalties and so far an ineffective pass rush.

Let's see what the 2nd half brings. GPG! Thanks, Since '61

I am really struggling with the 3rd and long 4 man rush with a zone coverage defense.

25 yds/16 yds/12 yds/9 yds. Where are the adjustments?

3 and out terrible start to the second half for the offense.
Defense getting pushed all over the field again.
Thanks, Since '61

Yeah, a bad start, and then the long pass, but then we make an interception and we're still alive. With a great chance to make some long plays. That's a lot of field to defend against a fast group.

I was really hoping they would come out in the 2nd half with some fire in their belly's. Instead, two meager 3 and outs. Not good.

Dude, the offense is not working today. AT all. Zero points. That's 0%, It's hard to win a football game like that. Usually, a goose egg is either poor QB play or bad Oline play or both. I think it's legitimate to ask whether we might have been better to leave good enough alone and play with the team that won the last two games. At least they moved the ball and scored.

Another promising drive...another back breaking penalty

Penalty on Kraft killed a promising drive. Thanks, Since '61

Wicks better spend significant time on the juggs this week!

Defensively, I'm not seeing a big improvement over last year, despite the acquisitions of McKinney, Bullard, Cooper and the return to the field by Alexander and Stokes. Alexander is out today. We should be good enough to stop people from scoring 4 straight TDs on our own field. It isn't that high of a bar. I hope this is our worst defensive effort of the season.

When Morgan comes back, I want to see nothing but him working at left tackle.

The Bronx cheers today at Lambeau are great!

In what seems like a total blowout by Minnesota.....we both have 18 first downs, we've outgained them by 20 yards, and are winning the TOP. Very weird.

LET'S DO THAT A FEW MORE TIMES.

Vikings beat the Texans & 9ers too. They are a well-coached team with a great D.

However, we all know that relying on Jones will not be wise because he will be out for 30-40% of the season

OMG this is fun, now!

OK we have a chance now. 28-21 Vikes. Go Pack Go! Thanks, Since '61

Wow! I guess that's why they play 4 quarters! Hang on!!!

Nice time for another turnover D!!

53 yards in 3 plays. Damn

Packers caught here with Wyatt out. Slaton is up or they have to put LVN to tackle.

Now it's a 2 score game. That hurt.

Bullard has got to block better on the punt return.

Love could not get velocity on the ball. Not his fault.

LIGHTNING

Know any good FG kickers, think I know a team in the market for one Right Now!

Gut Reactions:

Get a fucking kicker!!!

NOW!!

Does Mason still have his house in Green Bay?

Well, it was the Vikings superbowl… cause thats a close as they will get to seeing it. They played a 49er team with No McCafrey and no Kittle. They let the packers come back from 28-0 for a final of 31-29 so I dont know how they can feel good about that win. It was evident Love had rust to knock off the entire first half. And GB basically didnt have a kicker and down 2 CBs.

But as a packer fan, this was the worst game to watch in 30+ yrs. At one point I turned it off and went outside and mowed the lawn. I dont want to see Nixon in the secondary for the rest of the year.

Why did they give Narveson Donny Anderson's old number, maybe because he kicks like a running back. If he can run like him maybe a few faked field goals might workout better than actually kicking the ball. They should have chosen Joseph instead who has the Viking record for game winning field goals. Ce' la vie. GPG
