Despite getting blown out by Pete’s Plantation, it’s nice to see Kittle staying on pace for his first 1,000-yard season. He’s only about 115 yards away now.

Kirk Cousins is doing all he can but the Vikes don't have a real running game. This will hurt them come playoff time, if they even get there. Holding tough against the Pats.
As I said earlier, it feels weird not pulling for the Pats. This is today only!!!

Uninspired and very predictable play calling by the vikings tonight. Looks like the saints Thursday night...

Ok...welp, the Vikes didn't get it done against the Pats. Hopefully now, this will just help the Pats seeding. Vikes may not even make it. Next week I think they have to play in Seahag hell.

Not looking good now with them not taking advantage of the Bears loss...

Wow, this just in. Mike McCarthy fired as GB head coach. Its about freaking time.
Seems like Rodgers’ dissatisfaction with McCarthy was his undoing. Not sure I’d want to choose a side with this firing as both guys seem like cucks.

Good to see Burkhead play and looking strong.

Burkhead and Develin in the backfield at the same time. The league will explode...The universe will explode...oh noooooooooo!!!!!

No standout performances by any of our guys in the Vikings/Pats game, except Develin.... Bummed, this is a game I had been looking forward to for a few weeks...

Glad to see Fat-Mike finally bite the dust, I’ve never been a fan of his. A boring coach with conservative and questionable play calling who I believe is greatly responsible for the Packers underachieving in the 8 years since they won their SB.

The Pack can get rid of their coach but the Jets just sit there and watch their dumb black coach go from lousing up game after game and won't get rid of him - Same old Jets.

Don't be surprised if the Packers hire an AA head coach after the season.

Disappointing to see the Vikes over the last few weeks go away from feeding Thielen the ball. It seems since the hugely overrated Dalvin Cooks return the offensive game plan has been to spread the ball to all receivers and feed Cook. It's been a miserable failure.

Exactly. And with no real running game opposing teams are just putting a guy in front and in back of Thielen every game. Not much there. Very disappointing.

It's bizarre to me how much Cook has been hyped up. He's a middle of the road RB.

Nice to see a FB in James Develin record 2 rushing TD's in a game, but I kinda wish those carries went to Burkhead. There's only 3 white RB's in the NFL (4 if you count Juszczyk who is used like one), so we need to see them all produce in order for more to follow.

McCarthy was an issue in Green Bay - was he the only issue though? The front office jettisoned Jordy, cut Ripowski (Green Bay actually used FBs up until this year) and they have fielded a bad secondary for years now. Those are all moves of the (new) GM moreso than McCarthy. I do blame McCarthy for the treatment of Janis and Abbrederis. He also stubbornly believed Brett Hundley was a capable NFL QB. I am not sad to see him go but the alternatives could be (and probably will be worse).
