Vikings @ Packers 2nd Half Game Thread: 01 Jan 2023

vikings packers

Welcome to Skoloholics, and welcome to GAME DAY! That’s right, the Minnesota Vikings look to finally put an end to the Packers’ anemic playoff hopes, as they travel to Lambeau Field in Green Bay for today’s game. Kickoff is at 3:25, and the weather appears to be chilly but shouldn’t be much of a factor.

Wow, what a shitty first half. Bounces all went the Packers’ way, other than a Vikings blocked punt that wound up being only worth 3 points. That was all the Vikings could muster as far as scoring. It’s an ugly one, folks. Can the Vikings pull off another comeback? We’ll see.

What do we expect to see today? I think we’ll see a LOT of Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison today. A few reasons for this. One is that the Packers run defense is more of a weakness than their pass coverage. The Packers have given up a LOT of yards on the ground this year, while not allowing a ton of passing yards. Play to their weakness, which brings us to the second reason I expect to see the Vikings run a lot today. Coach O’Connell recently mentioned that they want the offense to be more balanced, and to run more against teams when the run is the better option. I also expect Justin Jefferson to absolutely go off today. Jaire Alexander has been mumbling all week about this matchup, and in response, JJ shut off his Twitter account (that’s why I think he did it). JJ is focused and ready to put a foot in Alexander’s ass. I can’t wait to see it.

Cheer loud and proud, folks. SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so Vikes rest up and get gnats. 9ers got az at home, zero chance they can lose vs blough at qb. GB or Det get 9ers

A lot of passing plays were just run KJ and JJ deep to clear out the underneath for Hock.
Worker reasonable well. Packers started jumping the route though.

Wow, my mom is very interesting today. She saw the trailer for Avatar 2 and said, “There used to be blue people in Kentucky. They had a rare blood disease.”

Google-fu revealed this to be accurate. They were the “Blue Fugates.”
