Packers vs Vikings Game Thread: I hate that Horn Edition

[Magooch]

They refuse to add top tier talent to their dline .that's killing them

This team's philosophy often seems to be something like "two birds in the bush is worth more than a bird in the hand". We're generally extremely hesitant to give up (or do anything that comes at the expense of) *potential* production for *proven production*. That can manifest in a couple of different ways: A.) drafting "projects" over "finished products"; B.) refusing to trade draft capital for proven talent; C.) Choosing to not invest in free agency for fear of stifling our "potential" or "projects"

I mean, look no further than the countless number of fans who you see saying things like "We don't need a true #1 WR, if we added one it would probably stall the development of Watson/Wicks/Doubs/Heath/Toure/Abbrederis/Janis/etc"

 

[Team Ronny]

This dline sucks! They all get pushed back to the same spot, cutback lane is wide open.

 

[bearcat]

Poor showing to a National audience.

 

[Zartan]

This is just sad to watch.

Too many just warm bodies on defense. Outside of X and Cooper right now everyone else is just a group of warm bodies

 

[PackerDNA]

Low second tier team at best. Any questions?

 

[Catamount1971]

Easy to beat the awful teams but crap the bed against the good ones. Easy to see why so many of us are pessimistic with this team.

Nobody was ready to play today

The Vikings aka QUEENS were

weird we’re missing like 3-4 D starters so I expected a 20-30 point type score by MN.
Fumble
Punt
FG
Fail on Downs
Punt

That’s what we’ve done without getting D help. 3 points in 3 Quarters

They were doing pretty well before Wyatt went out with an injury in the 2nd quarter

The other part of that argument is if they were better players, they wouldn't need to get a true #1.

And not up their rears

AND my pink flamingo snow globe just gave up the ghost too.

 

[tripleguy]

We were billed as a team to fear in the playoffs yet our #1 receiver and #1 D back are in street clothes. No way even if they're healthy. We have been exposed, again.

 

[Firethorn1001]

Obviously the Vikings, Lions and Eagles are better than us than this season given the impending 0-5 record. Regardless, still glad they are in the playoffs even if they do get bounced in the 1st round. Sure not going down the 'they need a rebuild, fire everyone, they have no chance in 2025' That's just emotion speaking.

 

[AKCheese]

Maximim effective range of an excuse is zero meters… gotta get heslthier and play better. Does today suck? Yeah, but end of the day it doesnt mean much

Outside of Wyatt and Clark, they a bunch of nobody's, this dline is not good, even with Wyatt in

The Vikes DC read Matt's book.

 

[Cornelius Weems]

When one team has more than twice as many yards than you, it usually ain't pretty.

 

[OldSchool101]

We need secure #1 WR imo. Enough talk about how “great” our WR group is.
It’s at best bunch of good 3’s and 4’s with a #2 (Reed) sprinkle. You can just tell his other teams Wideouts make amazing catches. We look very pedestrian at WR imo.

I realize we’re missing Watson. But Where is Musgrave? 1 target?

 

[Thirteen Below]

Just a perception, but they look more confident sure themselves than we do.

I think we're seeing the difference between a team that knows how good they are and was expecting to win, and a team that knows how bad they play against tough teams and was hoping to god they wouldn't get hammered.

 

[weeds]

Yeah. There is little or no doubt in this total domination. They've imposed their will in all areas.

 

[PackerDNA]

Actually it does it shows you where you are and how far you have to go

[DoURant]

I think the Vikings will beat Detroit next week, winning the division, and getting the 1st rd Bye.

 

[melvin dangerr]

Did the Packers just come off a Bye week?

 

[PackerDNA]

You get a decent play but there's a mental f****** to screw it up

 

[OldSchool101]

At least 1 team sends pressure.
