One win, a decade of Cousins. But it is kinda nice to give a big fat FU to the packers.

Playing a decent game on both sides of the ball. Kendricks is a beast.

This team finds a way to win - when they shouldn't.

So Zimmer saw the Ngakoue trade and the rumors and got scared enough to actually make a gameplan and scare the team, probably told them if he was fired they would all get cut. That preparation and enthusiasm has been too rare to forgive because of one game.

Sorry, but pulling off the occasional surprise makes a team a spoiler, not a contender. Zimmer and Spielman have always pointed to the occasional upsets - the Minneapolis Miracle, last year's win in New Orleans - instead of their body of work. 

Vikings under Zimmer have had 3 playoff appearances - all following seasons when they finished in 3rd place and played an easy schedule. They finished 2 of those playoff appearances with embarrassing routs that showed they were not genuine contenders. Getting the team prepared and dedicated enough to win 1 game against a tough opponent now and then isn't enough.

No QB anymore at the top of the draft. Guess I wouldnt mind a dominate guy in the trenches.

What a weird game. Green Bay was having issues with their play calling.

Hey, if they're going to win a few this season?

This is one you want...GB was on to long of a W streak vs Vikings, least they put a stop to that. 

Plenty of football left for draft order. 9 more games.

Actually the coaching staff that can't coach made some excellent adjustments at the half.. imagine that.
