Hey at least the Packers are losing by 2 TDs in Green Bay! Lions might be on top of the division by the end of the day.

Well, would they? Thats a complicated tie breaker scenario because the Packers, Vikings, and Lions seem to be rock paper scissor so far.

Oh, right! Actually Crosby missed a short field goal in this game.

48 yards, make able, but not short, imo.

Ah - thanks for the correction. I turned it on mid kick so I didn't see the yardage. It just looked short.

I think the Vikings would still be in first if the Packers were to lose.

Detroit has four losses to the Vikings' three. So technically they'd be a half game back. But like you said, rock-paper-scissors in real life.

Vikings have to start winning again, or it really doesn't matter.

Blocked FG

Missed XP

THREE red-zone offensive penalties

Dropped TD

Stopped on downs AGAIN on fourth and 3 inches!!!

1st and ten from the plus 18 and you punt!

3 point lead AT HOME with :23 seconds left!!!

KO to START OT and hold them to their 12 yard line AND YOU CANNOT GET THE BALL BACK FOR YOUR OFFENSE!!!



...folks that laundry list of futility is not one good teams have, especially at home.

Sad..

Can't argue those points, man.

And now I want to throw up again.

just about the perfect summary.

yeah i didnt watch the last two screw ups and i probably wont watch this one either.
I quess 1992 to 2015 was enough for me...its not just the vikings though godell brought
political correctness into one of the last man things in this world. I don't want pink and political
correctness in my football and the players being so ignorant .... sticking with walsh, kalil and
and leaving the offensive Line as a complete mess ...we won't ever win a championship with
mistakes like those....

Agree with all the points except the dropped td. They still got the td on that drive so it didn't hurt them, in fact it probably helped them to run more time off the clock, although eventually it didn't make any difference.

I'll concede that the laugh emoji was unnecessary.

I wasn't trying to be condescending when I referred to people determinedly making one player the scapegoat for the loss as people demonstrating a clear desire to find a scapegoat. I thought I was simply stating the obvious. I certainly wasn't calling anybody an idiot. You put those words in my mouth.

Some of us are simply saying that if Blair Walsh does his one job, which is to make kicks, a lot of this discussion could be moot. And I refuse to assign a lion's share of the blame to defensive players who, for the most part, played an excellent game. Who are required to chase receivers all over the field, and tackle big tight ends, and rush the passer down after down. Players who who will barely be able to walk until sometime on Tuesday. I find it difficult to assign more blame to guys like that than to a kicker who does one thing all week, on the safety and comfort of a side field.

If that makes me a person who needs a scapegoat and is thus worthy of being laughed at, then I guess I plead guilty.

That sounds more like sarcasm than an admission of "guilt" but I'll take it.

I don't think it's asking too much to ask people to acknowledge the rather obvious reality that a single one-point play didn't cost the Vikings a 60+ minute game in which the final score was 22-16. If it is, then perhaps I just don't understand what it is we're doing on this board.

I could go on but I have a feeling I'm fighting a losing battle here.

Have a nice evening.

Packers look pretty bad against possibly the worst defense in the league.
