Queens got lucky,GB two missed FG's would've sealed GB"s win,but queens with the W that's what matters

So being up by 28 was lucky. They went to a soft cover 2 in the second half had it been a game they would not have let off the gas. Lucky was the break the packers got with the muffed punt and the int that wasn’t . Lucky is the packers playing two horrible teams after love was hurt they could have came into this 0-3

Through 4 games, the Vikings have trailed their opponent exactly 3 minutes and 26 seconds.

While not excited about the second half of the GB game, realize that the game plan changes up 28-0 on both sides of the ball.

We walked away with a win IN Green Bay, learned some things (hopefully) about how to play D with a lead, and are one of two undefeated teams left in the NFL. Oh, yeah, forgot to mention we get Hockenson back in a few weeks.

We are going to lose a few games. I could see @Lions being one of them. But this team seems to be the real deal and I'm not ashamed to say it.

SKOL!

I know a guy who bet the Vikings in April to win the North at +1000 for $50. It's early but looking decent. If Darnold goes down we dont stand a chance.

I'll take that bet!

All GB needed was a better kicker even a 50% kicker and the queens would have been history!

Maybe......the D strategy may have been different had the FG been made.

And.....they didn't make those FG's so......

SKOL!!!!!! A win in GB is a win in GB!

What usually happens is when the team starts reading about how great they are, they then fall apart.

Detroit looks like a buzz saw. Vikings have them twice yet. Those games are going to be slugfests. If the O-line can protect Darnold until that last game of the season in Detroit, it will be a must watch.

If If and buts were candy and nuts it would be Christmas every day.

Well if we’re playing the if game. If nailor catches that punt and returns it for a td they are up by 35 in the first half. If Sam throws it just a little farther Aaron jones has a td not a int now they are up 42-0. If Shaq runs it 10 yards farther on the int they are up 49-0.

There have only ever been seven times in NFL history where a team was 5-0 and didnt make it into the play offs.. Can you guess the only team to make that list twice ?

Minnesota Vikings

Since we last met, J.J. McCarthy began making a run at the starting job and ... you know what happened after that. It was an extremely disappointing development for a first-round QB who started his offseason very slowly but looked to be coming on strong in the preseason. That’s not to say that Sam Darnold can’t thrive in an offense with Justin Jefferson, a good offensive line and several other playmakers. Perhaps Darnold has his first real chance to thrive in the NFL, given the personnel, and the defense has enough pieces to make incremental gains over last year. But the schedule is no joke, especially in the NFC North, where the other three teams might be serious playoff contenders. I don’t think the Vikings aren’t a playoff contender suddenly, and Kevin O’Connell showed me he could coach amid a QB mess a year ago -- with eight of their 10 losses coming by a total of 31 points -- but I think they’re still a year away.

[Kurtr]

[Rowdie]

That wouldn't surprise me one bit. Fkn London game that we can't even watch

When the Queens start hot they always have a mid-season slump and then muddle their way through the last few games to end up in a wild card race at the end of the season. My bet is 6 - 7 the rest of the season and a wild card berth for the playoffs.
