Remember the rules: Be nice to each other.
Down goes Dallas.
That is a nice way to end the weekend.
Hell of a game!
I’ve said all along that I think Wentz is not a downgrade from Murray. He’s played at an MVP level before, and can do it again. I know many will disagree, but they’re wrong.
Thanks for posting tomorrow’s thread, Jackson! I was going to jump on and finally post a thread, but saw you had it done already. Thanks!
I assume you had a gang with gumbo at your place today.
Glad you stopped by to see us, don’t be such a stranger. #grin
He isn’t going to play at an mvp level, but he is competent and that’s really all the Vikings need at the position
Murray took a double hit to the head, he might be out a bit.
“Murray was scrambling when he took a forearm to the helmet from Packers defensive end Lukas Van Ness, but that wasn’t all.
As Murray collapsed in a heap, he took another blow from safety Javon Bullard around the neck and head area, causing Murray’s helmet to fly off”
‘For a player experiencing his first concussion, the standard return-to-play timeline is roughly two weeks, though absences of one week or three weeks are not uncommon’

So, nobody gonna mention the Bears? Can we hope that the Panthers D just really sucks?
Next weeks issue.
Today/tonight is FTP Celebration Time!!
They scored 59
but they gave up 37
I think our defense is better than Carolina’s.
I’m of the opinion that we’ll be fine.
🔨 thoughts….
FTP. In the A.
Pukers a cheap, dirty squad – Sean Payton level dirty. Greg Williams level dirty. And I think the tide has turned. No more Aaaaron to protect per the league office. Shawn Hochuli having none of Love or LaFleur’s bullshit. Several shots to the back, to the head. On Wentz, on Jets. Dirty chop block by FTP on Pace. FTP had 13 penalties – it should’ve been 20. Bet Puker site is calling for LaFleur’s head. Took points off the board, woke up the defense and crowd and had zero chance after that. Dude’s a clown, and FTP got what they deserve.
Wentz should be QB1 – gritty, tough, reads the defense well. I’m happy we have him.
Jets about to make his case as the WR Alpha Dog. Just getting started.
Mason ran tough. Jones too – His TD run Mad Max blocked Carrington Valentine with an angry look. Wanted no part of the rookie.
Our front 7 is legit. LDR/TID coming along and making plays when it mattered. Our LB’s are stellar. Cashman/Gink always around the ball. Fat Fruit with the momentum changer of the day. Redmond disruptive. Seeing the progress of LDR & TID makes me believe BFlo will get Banks going soon.
Dallas Turner is a superstar.
Rook punter with 3 inside the 20. Will the thrill automatic. Price a great returner – this is why our ST Coach has a job despite shitty kick coverage.
Love that they eased Hitman in on money downs and big moments – trust your HoF’er and his brain. Pick #40 is coming soon.
I have nothing negative to say about beating Green Bay. There were not great things. Don’t care, can worry about that tomorrow.
May everyone enjoy their evenings, may your desserts be delicious, your pillows be cool and your first thought on Monday morning is this:
The Minnesota Vikings are 1-0.
Skol.
🔨 🔨 🔨
Even better, waking up Monday morning with the Vikings 1-0, and the FTP 0-1 because of the Vikings
Cash man and Turner were huge, who even remembers greenard? Just hope cash man can stay healthy, that’s the one issue he’s had during his career
Kyler Murray = 1-0 as the starter
So is Sam of the SeaChickens this year.
FTP!!
Amen Brother.
FTP Auto Rec.
I stopped watching just before the turn around, so I could make supper… you’re welcome.
We all have a part to play.
I appreciate you doing yours so well.
We do what is necessary. Hopefully it’s not the causative factor
MVP!
Wentz should be QB1 going forward. JJ isn’t there yet, and Murray showed poor decision making
Agreed
KOC will play the ‘Starter can’t lose his job due to an injury’ card.
His job is on the line this year, he’ll play who gives them the best chance to win
The D won the game for us today. We hit Love15 times (our qbs got hit 6 times). Turner had 7 QB hits!
We just need to start acQB who wont screw it up
Kyler has a concussion. I bet it will be at least a couple of weeks before KOC has to make a decision
One can hope.
Poor MT, his hopes were looking so good in the first 3 qtrs.
Then it all fell apart for him.
Of course Moore, QB from Oregon lost to Okie St yesterday so there is that.
JJ (WR) 8 rec on 9 targets for 92 yards 2 TDs and a 2pt XP.
Wentz 12-19 for 133 yards, 3 TD passes and a 123.5 QBR.
Mason 59 yards rushing and a TD, Jones 40 yards and a TD.
Defense stepped up big time the second half, all over love, especially Turner and cash man, offense did what it should and turned it into points, good team win and they should just keep playing Wentz
I think the constant blitzing just wore the packers oline down
It was a great victory,the only thing better would have been to pound their dicks into the dirt from the start.
Sorry for the language Kathy.
No offense taken, haha!
1st place in the North!
Best record in tne NFL!!!!
Thought Brad would have made an appearance today/opening day.
Bet he is enjoying the win whatever he is up to.
I’m here!
Been busy as hell, but having fun. Coaching fall league baseball, coaching football, and kiddo is also running cross country (the sport, not running across the country). I’m not coaching cross country, all I have to do is cheer, it’s much easier.
Busy is good, especially if it with stuff you enjoy.
Just don’t let it become ‘hectic’.
Probably got to stick with Wentz next week. See if he can remain competent.
I didn’t see anything good from Murray before he got hurt
22 point 4th quarter. Amazing
Unbelievable. Can’t comprehend yet how we pulled this off.
Magic??
It felt like it was.
Yes, it must have been a kind of magic. No other explanation makes any sense.
Could we actually have a season?!?!
It certainly looks good
Victory formation
It all started with the 4th down stop after they declined the FG.
Even more sweeter.
Harrison played a good part of the game?
Decent.
And the cash man has been all over love
The first three quarters we were just setting them up.
Gotta give Love some credit, he’s under fire, still slinging it before he gets smothered
Down goes Love for the 4th time?
turner has been all over today
Van Gink creating havoc
😂
Lol
I’ve shared this with some of my Packer friends.
Wentz is going to Sam Darnold this season
🙏🏻
Fuck Murray, just play wentz
Wentz might have more left in the tank than everybody thought. Saw him play in Dublin last year, might be a blessing in disguise that we are forced to play him now.
I WANT MORE.
LETS EMBARRASS THEM
LETS GET A DEFENSIVE SCORE
Holy crap, we’re at 39 points
THIS IS SO MUCH FUN
🤩
39-22 less than 4m left.
Loving it.
Mr Will Reichart remains perfect on the season
JJ ties his TD total of last year alreadt!
INT!
I take back what I said about the defense and Brian “DC GOD” Flores. 😌
You own him a personal apology.
#grin
That I definitely do, mate 😅
This game flipped hard
Gigantic flip
JJ stretches for the TD
This is Glorious, make my whole week!!!
Defense winning the game
Wow. Must confess, I didn’t see this coming.
LaFleur done way bad.
That changed the game
Yep.
Very Vikingesq
Same here, no way no how was this turn of events to be expected. Just wow.
I’m so happy, and for it to happen vs. Green Bay is icing on the cake.
Absolutely incredible. They had that game won, until we manned up and took it from them. Them being undisciplined helped, but in the end it was a great team effort to secure this W. 4th quarter was insane.
Flores let loose on them, and that defensive success motivated the offense. In the end, the whole team was on fire.
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! Whohoo!
Hitman almost had the INT but at least tipped it to a teammate
It was tipped at the line as well.
Interception.
In FG range already!!!!
Hitman tipped it.
INT purple!!!!
Ha ha ha ha. Suck it Packers!
Don’t pull a Viking heartbreak please.
