Rodgers passer rating: 40

His whiny rating is 140.

Awfully weak offensive PI there.

Ciskie is in mid season form of Rodgers like whining already about the Packers. Just warming up for hockey season when every call goes against Duluth...

I would appreciate if Kirk would keep the offense on the field instead of going 3 and out.  Up only 13 with a quarter to go we don’t want to piss away this game throwing check down passes to the line of scrimmage.

...Annnnnnnnnnnnd here we go...

Was wondering when a post like this was going to surface...

@bertogliat I am not a Cousins-hater. He's a top 12ish QB that gets way more hate than deserved. 

If MN blows this lead (highly unlikely) Cousins would not be the reason. Not even close. But the haters are ready to pounce on that take.

If Zadarius and Danielle stay healthy all year.... this defense could be devastating.

Vikings don't have depth, so I agree. If healthy, MN could make some serious noise.

@bertogliat It's not his fault. His team failed him. Just ask ARodg.

Solid.

I probably counted wrong but I only recall three good slacker drives in this game with two ending in fourth down stops.

Kirk Cousins has now beaten Erin Rodgers 3 straight times. Maybe some day Erin will be good enough to beat Kirk. Grinning

The trade of Diggs to Buffalo for the 1st round pick (which LUCKILY became JJ) sure worked out well for both teams, Spielman’s best trade by far!

Definitely benefitted both teams. I really loved when Diggs admitted, basically, that he was not a great teammate in MN and has matured, then BUF said, "here's a lifetime contract" (for the most part). JJ gonna get paid the same or more, if MN is smart.

I thought the stat they showed in the 4th was interesting, 74% of our offensive plays we ran a package of 1 RB, 1 TE and 3 WRs. The tough part of this offense for opposing defenses is a lot of the time it looks the same pre snap. They also run a lot of different plays out of the same formations.

 

I’ll temper the positivity a little bit as Green Bay was at a distinct disadvantage with no tape to watch of us on offense or defense. They had no idea about tendencies based on player packages or situations. That will disappear after the first couple weeks of the season.

This is VERY simplistic, but when I played Madden against friends, I had a 7 play set, basically a hurry up offense, all from the same formation. That will mess with a defense like crazy. You have to account for EVERYTHING. You have no idea what is going on. Too many options.

I am also tempering my excitement over the defense as I remind myself GB was without their starting right and left Tackles as well as a starting WR.  I'd love to see them win a road game against a team with a winning record on Monday Night Football....oh what a coincidence.

I fly into Philly on Monday for a work event.  Trying to figure out how to make it to the game.  It would be quite difficult logistically, but not impossible.

No kidding.  From what I've seen on Twitter fans of the Eagles and Raiders lead the league in fan fights during games.

Philly has their own court/jail AT THE STADIUM. 

That being said, some on here are followers of Dr Chuckles, PHI fan, (or his many other pseudonyms) on the Twitter. We did make a bet, home-state pride, and the loser will donate $10 to the winner's charity of choice, so something good will come out of the game.

I’ve been to Phillies and Flyers games.  I’d like to go to an Eagles game too.  This would be the perfect game to attend.  But I just don’t think it’ll work out logistically.  And I have to be in tip top shape come Tuesday morning as I meet several highly influential people for my job.  So I’ll likely make the wise decision and watch at the bar or from my hotel room (boring).

Fning Irv Smith cost us not one but two 3 & outs because he can’t get open & can’t catch the football. You can’t go 3 and out 3 out of your first 4 possessions ON THE ROAD. D is gassed & yes, need to put a spy on Hurts. Frustrating to say the least. And now Irv Smith drops a sure touchdown pass…what a BUST Irv Smith is turning into!

The Vikings have played Horrible in Philly…pretty much forever. And that drop by Irv Smith was worse than the drop by the Packer rookie WR, at least he had the excuse of it being his 1st NFL play

name calling cause you don’t understand football, classy.

We came out in a 2 deep zone every play for the first 2 possessions and got steamrolled. We switched to man and stopped them for a couple possessions. They adjusted and started taking advantage of our straight man defense and we never changed it up or mixed it up. Donatell getting massively outcoached tonight..

@bigbeer oh you mean they took advantage of all our DBs playing 5 yards off the man?

And how many were we rushing all half?

Football guy.
