NEVER at any point in time did we think JJ was going to be the starter this season. How in the fk do these guys get away with being professional footballer analysts is beyond me

[Izthefaithful]

Division game among two hated rivals. Records don’t matter. Games are like this

[Godless-Being]

As a Vikings fan I think we can all solely agree that Nailor should NEVER EVER be a returner, leave that to Powell

[blowfishes]

That muffed punt was the catalyst for the Packers. Had Nailor simply run away from the punt then I’m pretty sure the winning margin would have been bigger. Hell… even if pinned at our 1 yard line and give up a safety would have been five points better.

Vikes gave up in the 2nd half, could of lost it if the Packers had more time.
The Jefferson TD catch was just perfect.

[vtraveler]

Respect to GB but Vikes were way to conservative in the 3rd quarter they needed to play like "they" were down by 21

[aclonecone]

just wanna say gg to all the vike fans out there. you have a great football team and im extremely proud of the pack for fighting back and their resilience. have a matchup of two of the best teams in the league later this year in Minneapolis. GPG

[XXMetallicaXX]

Vikings are the best team in the NFC north and the entire NFC. Even when the packers gave the vikings all they could in the 2nd half they still walked out of GB with a win. Vikings are very good.

[gregoryfagan]

3 interception is not playing well. That's garbage

[gnimlac]

These sports commentators do not understand that Darnold was always the #1 QB this season. In training camp, it was announced that Sam would be the starter long before JJ got hurt. I keep seeing that Darnold was 'thrusted into the spotlight' because of the McCarthy injury, when in reality that is not true. The detail itself in not the problem, but the lack of that detail starts to paint an incorrect narrative about the confidence in Sam from the beginning.

[squanchy..]

Love is so bad. Dude had nothing but garbage time stats while Vikings playing prevent defense

[rudyb]

Have to give respect to GreenBay for staying in the game. Until next time. SKOL 🙏

Sam D, was always
Going to start for the Vikings.

[kimn]

Vikings are good. Playing soft cover 2 whole second half. Still won.

[daviduhr]

It’s amazing to me how many “experts” actually think that Darnold was “thrust” into the starting role after JJ McCarthy’s injury… he was named the starter well before the injury and the only question was how long it would take JJ to meet KO’s requirements to take over as starter. This doesn’t diminish Darnold’s accomplishments. He has outplayed our expectations and his contract. I hope the re-up him for 2 years and let this run play out.

[WW_Soon]

So, Jordan Love threw some 389 years, however his 3 INTs killed his team plus the missed FG at the beginning of the game. The Packers were fortunate that Sam Darnold felt sorry for them and only put up 3 points in the 2nd half.

[rnou]

Vikings let opponents hang around, that was stupid they could have won by 40 points they have no killer instinct. They need to have killer instinct in order to win Championship.

[johnwiesner]

This game was almost exactly like the game last night between Alabama and Georgia. Alabama and Minnesota both got off to a 28-0 lead, then the team with a "G" on their helmet made it really interesting, but came up a bit short.

[JaniceCarter-wslu]

Told yall to pay attention to Minnesota
🎉Congratulations Vikings🎉

God bless you Green Bay🫡💚

[PraxisPeabody]

Hats off to GB for coming back. It was ugly but a win is a win.

I am so tired of Vikings coaches. 28 - 0 and they sit on it like all Viking coaches do. The patriots would have taken that and rammed it down their throats. I am so effing tired of mn coaches doing this. Thank god they won. Holy crap. Push it until at least the 3rd is over. Not mn. Is it an unwritten rule with Vikings coaches to coach like a moron after you have a big lead? Seriously. Prove me wrong if it isn't. 28-0. Ram it down their throat. Beat them. You scored 28 doesnt mean they wont score 28 next haly. Terrible coaching 2nd half.
