Not that I really care much about this, but I disagree. If Rodgers steps up in the pocket and throws it's an easy completion to either Allison over the middle or a TD to Lazard on the post. The safety was frozen between so he couldn't have gotten to either ball in time. I agree with Fennell on this. Rodgers gave up on the pass too soon.

With his arm, yes either throw is there.  But he held it because it is what he does. 

You are blinded by your hatred of the Packers to give Rodgers his due. Its one of the things you and I don't agree about vehemently. Rodgers is elite. He elevates. And if you think he's not going to the Hall of Fame, you're crazy. The stats are there. He's won a Superbowl. He's been a MVP. 

The Vikings nor any of their QBs have done shit. That's the bottom line. 

You doth protest too much.

Never said he wasn't elite or going to the HOF.  But if you pay attention over the years, he struggles when he has too much "control" in the offense.  He will hold the ball looking for hero plays, which was the extent of my criticism here.

He did it early in with McCarthy, then late as well which led to MM getting fired.  It led to him getting hurt by Barr.  And has plagued him under the new staff as well.

That was what this tweet was about as well.  Holding the ball trying to play the hero.

Holding the ball trying to make a play. When you say 'hero', that's a negative connotation in that context. Its what he's always done. He's dangerous moving around, buying time. I mean, he's got 23 TDs and only 2 INTs. His team is 10-3. He's at his historical completion percentage and QB rate this season. Its nitpicky.

Listen, I hate him as I do any other Packer, but he's one of the few QBs that you can't ever count out.

Interesting, encouraging or frightening....depending on your perspective....

Why does it sound like a Zulgad piece?  Minnesota writers always have such a negative slant. Clinging, far from secure

I actually read that as encouraging. The thing that stands out to me is that even if we lose one more, the only thing that needs to happen for us to still make the playoffs is the Rams need to also lose once (@DAL, @SF, vs ARI). So the odds are definitely in our favor. For whatever that's worth.  

Really love to see the Bears beat the Packers and the Vikings win in LA. That makes that Xmas Eve's Eve game against the yellow team a title game. Man, I'm nervous already.

@"FessVike" said: I refuse to click on any article from Zughead or Cronin. Jughead is a packer fan nor sure what her problem is. But they are always snarky and negative to the Vikings. Just report the damn facts, I will can decide on my own what to think about the Vikings.

Zulgag can't even write about a win without focusing on negatives.  I like to enjoy my wins, so not sure who his target audience is.

This is what I'm hoping for...We'll know a lot more by bedtime tonight. Division pretty much lost if chips dont fall right today. 

Too bad we didnt win one more along the way. That @ GB is still in my craw a bit.

Maybe the Bears will come through big time? Not counting on it though.

And this one....Talk about a game the Vikings should've won. Seemed EVERY SINGLE play of consequence determined by an inch or a bounce went against us. 

Lazy, shitty Coaching that game with zero adjustments. 2 and forever late in the game and Mike rushes 3 and still gives up the chunk play to Kelce. 

On the positive side there's been a lot more opponent-specific gameplans since then and in-game adjustments. Coaches are human and collectively were terrible against KC. Glad they have bounced back since then.
