That play was so mindbendingly stupid.

It's one thing not to execute. It's another to do dumb poo poo.

I mean, new coach, some serious questions on both sides of the ball, and Rodgers isn't having his best year... and 12 wins? God drat.

Had a weak schedule but you still have to win those games to get here and a whole lot of teams couldn't do that this year.

Might get boat raced by the 49ers or Saints in the playoffs but poo poo, this was a good season.

If I told you we drafted two decent receivers, got healthy over the summer, and kept the foundation of the team would you be shocked if the Packers were world beaters next year?

It's pretty stupid to have a not-QB throw the ball.

It's pretty stupid to have a QB act as a receiver.

They did both in the same play.

Before the season, espn wrote out every result from one of their preseason simulations

It had the packers going 13-3 with the #1 seed (also losing their first playoff game) and it still feels crazy that this could actually happen

Holy cow, Vikings fans are way madder about tonight than Packers fans are happy about it. The comments on basically every sports blog are full of rage. I would've figured they'd take it in stride given how many injuries the team had had going up against a fully healthy Packers squad but geez...

Packers picked the one with the closest and most legitimate connection.

Also, just think... how much was Fat Mike holding this team back, and for how long?

I think a large portion of blame can be put on Ted Thompson too, he never really addressed the Defense in Free Agency. Not that Mike isn’t to blame, but the defense is what really held GB back all those years.

It's because it was a game that the defense came up big in the first half and the offense couldn't do poo poo with it

I'd be super pissed if my team managed 7 first downs and had a plus 2 turnover diff in the nfc north title game too.

Also, as far as packer fans being happy, I'm seeing a ton of people who were super cold on the team (like myself) who were legitimately impressed with the game other than the turnovers.

Now here's a thought: Which team would be better, the Lions roster with the Packers' coaching staff and front office, or the Packers roster in Detroit?

(I mean, the answer is obviously Stafford and company in Green Bay, but it is funny to imagine Rodgers immediately deciding to retire rather than deal with Patricia.)

As vikings fans all we really ask is to not get swept by the packers. Then if we do in fact get swept by the packers, we rage and sometimes fire our coach.

As a Packers fan I consider our season successful if we beat the Bears even once. 2018 was a successful season by my standards.

Yeah he really exacerbated some of his bad habits, especially holding on to the ball for an eternity to try and force the ball to Adams. Our receiving corps is dire as all hell outside of Devante, but this whole target him 20 times while everyone else is lucky to get 2 or 3 looks doesn't really work out all that well. It seems obvious that this absolutely will not fly in the playoffs and Rodgers has to spread the ball out way more, but I just don't think he will. He used to be able to throw guys open but he doesn't really even seem to attempt it anymore.

It looked like he was finally willing to spread it and take more chances during the Dallas and Oakland games, but the second Adams returned to the field he really reverted to his bad habits he picked up over the last couple seasons. I don't quite understand why he feels like he can't try spreading it out again but thank god we've got Jones or this offense would probably pretty drat gruesome to watch. I don't know if Rodgers just can't see the field like he used to or he realizes he doesn't have the same physical skill he did a couple years ago and doesn't want to risk tough throws. Whatever the case though, this target Adams 50 times and to hell with everyone else offense will definitely get us bounced the first playoff game we play.

All that whining aside, I feel like we are playing with house money at this point since I in no way expected them to be where they are now, so hey let the good times roll and whatever happens is cool

It’s too bad Gute really blew last years draft with Jackson and Burks. Even having them decent would improve the defense even more but they are loving terrible, especially being high picks. Campbell coming back to play the pseudo linebacker and Sullivan emerging have at least solidified the passing defense recently at least.
