Heard earlier before "chores" on KFAN that Barrero was saying a tie would work too.  Then "if" we beat the Lions later we will be in the drivers seat.  Plus win the other games to keep up with them.  A buddy told me the Lions have some injuries too.

Detroit has 3 starters on the DL & 1 on the OL out. But GB has a starting CB, LB, & a WR out too. Whoever runs the ball the best will probably win this game IMO.

Rooting for the Packers would be like rooting for Bin Laden or Putin.

All things being equal, I’d rather see the Lions win, but under these conditions, I gotta go with the Packers. I have lots of business contacts in Wisconsin and always tried to avoid calls the day after a Vikings Packers game. They were often smug or depressed.
In the late 80s through the early 90s I always was invited to go to Lambeau when the Vikings played there. It was always a good time and there was a lot of back and forth ribbing between the Packer fans and the Vikings fans. I will say they were a bit cocky when the Pack won, but dinner afterward was pretty subdued when the Vikings came out on top.

Kitties up 10-7 about 2 minutes to 1/2 time.

17-7 kitties halftime.

[Gunner55]

It ended up 34-31 Detroit as they got a crucial 1st down on 4th & 1 with 00:43 to go, then ran the clock down to kick the game winner as time expired. Goff had his foot stepped on by his LG & was on 1 knee when he handed the ball to Montgomery on that 4th down.

I watched till the end of the third quarter.  Darn, GB gave it a good try.  They were down by 10 at one point but came back and were ahead for awhile.

[glenn57]

i cant say i feel bad GB lost. but i dont think the Vikes were gonna catch them anyway  somewhere before the season is over the Vikes were gonna play a stinker of a game and lose.

best hope they just finish ahead of GB......and hopefully someone knocks GB outta da playoffs completely!!!!!

it should be some entertaining reading over on IDO!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Seen some of Lafleur's postgame press conference & he said that they didn't do enough on 3rd & 4th down on either side of the ball was why he thought they lost. I never heard anything about this during the game ......................https://sports.yahoo.com/ive-never-seen-packers-coach-053523329.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall FYI a week from Sunday (12/15) Detroit & Buffalo play in Detroit.

[LPS]

Go Buffalo!!!

[glenn57]

on MNF my 3rd most favorite team is playing.......Cinny is playing the cowgirls!!!!!!! go Cinncy!! 

[Gunner55]

Dallas lost the game by blocking a punt, then trying to recover it, only to fumble it & give it back to Cincy.   Burrow hit Chase 3 plays later to make it 27-20 with ~ 1 minute left.   Another of our favorite teams, GB, plays Seattle in Seattle in the Sunday night game this week. I'm hopin that 1 ends in a tie.

[dutchboy]

I’m hoping Seattle blows them out of the stadium.

i can never stay awake to watch the end of them games on monday night!!! getting up at 3;30 to work the store, even with the dotch nap......is hard on this old fella!!!!!1

[Gunner55]

  The funny thing about last night's game is that it was going to be Dallas's ball even if nobody touched it. So, by trying to recover it he actually gave Cincy a shot to get it back. 

[Steve-o]

Y'er right (I think).  I don't know if the ball is 'live' or not after a block.  Could a Cincy player have picked up the blocked punt and run for a first down?

no!!!!!

Read that the NE Patriots and JK Osborne agreed to part ways!

[fishwidow]

He was pretty decent when he was here. I’m guessing his being waived isn’t so much his poor performance, but more that team’s struggles and not much ability to use him.

yep.... pretty much what the article said!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Josh Allen had 6 TD's, 3 passing & 3 running, with 0 TO's but they still lost Sunday. Team's with 6 TD's & 0 TO's were 319-0 before that game. Look out for the Rams, they could be a tough out if they make the playoffs.

[Steve-o]

Yeah, I'm the jaded, cynical Viking fan, but who else here is surprised that the Vikes weren't somehow also on the wrong end of that 319-0 stat?   

[glenn57]

  now Goodell and the goonies from the NFL offices want 18 regular season games.

that f$%^&*( stupid nuts!!!!! some of these guys ae freak athletes....but geez dont kill them to add to the bank account of the Nfl!!! good gawd.

[Gunner55]

  The NFLPA still has to agree to it & I bet they will. The players started it when they wanted to reduce the # of preseason games. I would bet it's the most watched programing all the networks have, so they can charge more $$$ for the commercials.

[mike89]

follow the money...   just sayin...

from what I remember the players assoc agreed to game 17 IF the reduced preseason games?,

These guys aren't cartoon super heroes  injuries will get more frequent and severe 

[Gunner55]

  So, if it's really not good for the long term health of it's members the leadership of player's union should come out against it. But who tells the NFLPA what to be in favor of & what they shouldn't be in favor of? I believe they call it their Executive Committee along with their Board Of Player Representatives which each team has a active player elected to. I think there's even 2-3 players on the Executive Committee that are still playing too. If they agree to play another regular season game, what do they ask for in return? https://nflpa.com/about/nflpa-officers

Fewer preseason games would be the first thing to be addressed I would think.
