Vikes thread!

Oh boy!

KOC made it scarier than it needed to be by going for it on 4th down instead of kicking the field goal, but at the same time... I'll bet he earned some street cred with his team by trying to get Aaron Jones his TD for one more Lambeau Leap.

Yeah, I wish they'd taken the FG too as I got a little worried when it came down to the onside kick. Everything was going great until Nailor misplayed that punt & gave them some momentum just before the 1/2. I hope he learned his lesson there as he should've just let that 1 go. I read where some of the GB players gave Jones some grief about not allowing him to get a TD & do a Lambeau Leap. He did jump into the stands with a bunch of Vikings fans on his way to the locker room though.

Still, this "Prevent Defense" thing with a lead in the second half is nerve racking. Vikes got more out-played in the second half than the packers were in the first. Defense wins again.

Was a great first half but way too stressful in the second half.  I hope they learned something from it.

[Bobberineyes]

Sure was lps, but I like to think they let up on purpose,  just to keep the fans in the stands...

I'm hoping KOC and Flores are trying to be smart-like-a-fox and not show teams more than they need to, to beat them.

In hindsight, I wish Flores would have sent more pressure on the Packers QB on the last drive, but with a tenuous 2 score lead and under two minutes to go - he really didn't have to.

And you have to give the Packers defense credit.  The Vikes were happy to dial-it-down on offense to chew clock, but the Pac forced them into turnovers and punts.  Didn't I hear an announcer say the Vikes only had 5 3-and-outs all season leading into the game?  The Pac got them 5 times by themselves.  Well, I exaggerated, one of those 5 was a 4-and-out, but they were getting the Vikings offense off the field.

Erin Rodgers' Jets lost again yesterday, who are now 2-2 on the season, and looking like they might not be a good as everyone predicted.  I hope the next game isn't a trap-game for the Vikings.  Five-and-Oh, baby!!!
