It's not nice to give reading material to the blind.



Mildly amusing in this case, but still.

that was a duck


Vikes with the go all in mentality.

This Vikings win (assuming they hold on) means that the Sunday night game next week is pretty much guaranteed to be the Vikings vs Lions. Also, as near as I can tell, the Eagles and Vikings lose a three way tie with the Lions, so the Lions might actually decide to treat tomorrow’s game like a preseason game. It appears to have zero impact on their potential seeding. No matter what they have to beat the Vikings next week.

Darnold is seemingly trying to give this game away with these throws

Blind are those who can’t see that Darnold is the 2024 version of 2023 Brock Purdy

Clearly no

Lol, again, you got one stat. We've got 5 more, plus about a half dozen more gross stats, that say Darnold is significantly better than Love. Try something else.

If the Packers kick an XP and the Vikings score, it's 34-17. Three score game, game is over. It's some way-ahead thinking math for sure, but it's guaranteeing a TD won't completely finish the game.

Yeah, that's a real possibility too. Probably both, honestly.

The average point differential per game today has been 20.25.

Pile of shit gameday.

Bizarre circumstance for the Lions. None of the wildcards are even close to them, so it’s almost certainly the 5 or 1 for them.

I wonder what stats Jordan Love would have with Jefferson

[KC_Connection]

Packers need to score a TD or kick the FG prior to the 2 min warning

Darnold is Purdy with some actual arm talent, ignoring that fact is just you being a douchebag

[KC_Connection]

Dobbs is no Jefferson

No he’s basically just Purdy

[smithandrew051]

Why don’t more teams kick the field goal earlier in these situation?

Leave yourself some time to get the ball back.
