Just stating a fact - with the Packers up by 3 scores they are going to be playing a prevent defense and giving up the underneath throw. Not being derogatory, just what it is.

It's actually better to take the 10 yard sack than a 15 yard grounding call if he throws it out of bounds.

Dude don't cry. All you talk about is our offensive line and Mike Wallace. You get awfully butt hurt when someone says a word about Teddy. If it was Christan Ponder out there and he was doing what Teddy is doing, you'd call him everything in the book. You're in complete denial that Teddy does anything wrong. I point out what he does wrong and you cry.

Feels like this counts as two losses for some reason.

Well, they've had several team wins in this stretch. This was a total team loss. Can't think of any phase that played well today.

Lacey run perfect example of why Vikings lost today. Packers players mostly making heady plays like sliding in bounds to keep the clock running. Vikings players - head butting, late hits, etc...

Let's learn from this one. We get to play them again. I'm pretty convinced we are the better team despite the score.

You're right. Even the special teams screwed the pooch a couple of times today, and they've been pretty darned good all season. It was not our day, that's for sure. Sucks that we pick a Packer game to suck this badly.

Pondering Her Percy wrote: He could have easily hit Wallace on a drag route but clearly missed him. He played horrible in the 1st half and played better in the 2nd half because he was actually throwing the ball when he hits the back of his drop. Something he didn't do at all in the 1st half. You can say what you want about the line, which granted they aren't good but him holding the ball forever doesn't make our line look any better. But some are in complete denial of that and want to complain about the line, Mike Wallace, AP, etc.

I'm not saying it's all Teddy's fault but he simply hasn't played good. He's thrown 8 TDs in 10 games. That's pretty damn bad no matter what way you look at it
Nobody was open on that play at all. Teddy was just fine in the 1st half despite never having a clean pocket. The only thing that seemed to change in the 2nd half is there was less holding penalty that ruined the drive early.

Wonder what kind of apology the league gives the Vikings for abysmally bad refs again and against the packers for the umpteenth time?????

You're both done for today. It will be a month next time.

I'm not so sure. We showed all our weaknesses today. We can be this bad and as bad as we were in the 49ers game.

Nice to see the ref joking with Rodgers after the spike.

Penalty is 10 yards or spot of foul, which ever is worse, so in that case might as well throw it and take the chance they won't throw the flag for it.
