Vikings > Packers.

I think the first half lost us the game. You can't be down 24-3 with a couple minutes into the 2nd half and expect to win.

The first half, the whole team sucked, Aaron held the ball too long and threw the balloff target, probably just a bit too excited, understandable. The defense did the same challenge Favre to find hte openman, etc.

Why didn't we make the adjustments we made at half, inbetween game 1 and game 2. They played the first half hte same as they played the Vikings in Game 1. I don't get it, why not adjust.

Don't you mean:

Hitler > McCarthy ?

Okay. There's my jab. I'll get off your back now.

That penalty by Jolly really changed the game for the worse for your team. If not for that penalty at that time you guys might have been in better shape.

Then again if Childress or Bevell had any balls at the end of the 2nd quarter we might have been able to put the game away right there and then. I was very nervous about not stepping on the proverbial throat when you guys were reeling. I guess for me it ended up OK anyway.

What is there left to salvage with a pathetic o-line and really no indication that the offensive inconsistency that has plagued us throughout the MM era will be settled any time soon...


Penalties, damn poor o-line play, no run game, poor starts to football games...


Fact is that the two times this Packers team had games similar to playoff atmosphere, they flat out got beat.


I'm friggin upset as hell we lost today, but I'm more upset that there is seemignly no sunrise in that the main issues which kill us, killed us again today.


MM better evaluate his coaches damn hard. Ted better evaluate the entire team (players, coaches, himself) real hard.

Two years in a row we've heard that this team is "talented", and supposedly it can be a playoff team. Beyond beating mediocre teams, this team struggles when facing good play-off type competition.


Either we have coaches who can't coach the talent properly to win games, or our personnel dept. with Ted Thompson at the top has over-estimated the impact ability talent and it needs to get fixed.


This was as close to a must win as you can get in week 7, and we come out on the losing end.

This shit just got old, for me.

WTF will it take for you to decide this is a bad football team?

30 plus sacks in 7 game isn't enough?

over a 100 penalty yards a game isn't enough?

no rushing game isn't enough?

no pass rush isn't enough?

People should be buying the Vikings like crazy right now. Stop selling them because you're upset the Packers aren't better. The fact is, Minnesota is one of the five best teams in football right now and GB got beat.

The state of the Packers franchise is this.

Average with potential....

Just not as good as the Vikings.

Admit it and move on.

In the 90's, Green Bay wasn't as good as Dallas, but that wasn't a reason to clean house then. This outrage that some have is only at an all time high because of who is playing QB for the Vikings and he's pretty damn good himself.

I would say this... The game that will be a good indicator on whether or not GB is a wild card contender is two weeks at home against Dallas. I think those two teams are on a similar level.

Minnesota is superior just like they were in 98, 01, and to some extent last season. They'll be superior again in the future too. That's a great team.

I checked my crystal ball and it says the Vikings won't continue to be superior in the future. It says they will decline in a year or two. While the Packers improve.


I think my crystal ball is tinted with green.

Well-said, Porky. The Vikings are damned impressive, as much as I hate to say it. There's nothing left to do but hope they choke it away late in the season. It's happened before.
