Wk 01~GAME DAY! 🏈 EXCITED FOR THE BORDER BATTLE! ~ GB ~ 09/13/26

If you are too young to remember it, this first 22 minutes is how a Les Steckel team looked. Mistakes everywhere, poor passing effort, poor special teams and gaping holes in the defense if the pass rush does not get there. Hoping for better over the last 38 minutes

I am thinking the Vikings watched too much of the Minnesota Gophers game yesterday. They should not even be on the same field as another NFL team so far today. GB is doing noting outrageously special, the Vikings just look like a bad high school team right now

I am not saying I know it, but it sure felt like the CBS HQ dialed up the stadium officials and said, "call some penalties on Green Bay, we are going to lose our audience to this garbage"

A Viking tradition - when our DBs drop a sure INT, the opposing team goes on to score a TD - go look at the history.

The Vikings paid a mint to keep Brian Flores as Defensive Coordinator. He has called a ridiculously careless game today. Sending 9 guys on a blitz when you just need to keep things in front of you is so risky and bush league. Our Two coaches have been awful today

Enjoy the 2nd half to see if we make adjustments and can just make it a game. Keep your blood pressure down, assume a loss, but hope for a win. I saw the Bears today & they are a good offense (def is iffy). I Think all 3 other NFC North teams are better than us when healthy.

Vikings didn’t win. The officiating handed you the game.

They didn't even call all the penalties. Can't always cheat your way to a win. Green Bay is just a bad team. You have to admit.

That was Jordan Love who handed it to our linebacker actually. Tell him thank you!

Can’t wait for you guys to come to Lambeau for the rematch.

And that'll do it for a wild opening game at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings lose Kyler Murray to a concussion, fall behind by 12 late in the third quarter and storm back -- with some stunning breakdowns from the Packers -- to win 39-22.

Brian Flores still blitzed a lot in the second half, but notably less than in the frenetic first half. The rate was 63% after halftime, and the greater variety probably contributed to the Packers’ offensive meltdown. https://t.co/IAQuOOjIa8
