Great win by the D, STs and the run game. Pathetic offensive game plan in the passing game. That’s not a good pass D by any means. Credit to Barry, Bissacia (despite a blocked punt). Yet again LaFleur was a lead weight. That O design and lack of imagination doesn’t cut it and won’t.

Sweet Uncle Fester, that was a most satisfying butt-kicking to witness. Great win!

A Defense with an attitude put a thumpin’ on people. 41 unanswered points. A kickoff return for a touchdown. A pick 6. An Offense that put together long drives and scored after turnovers.

And, the best part? An oh-so-sad-fanbase, and humiliated NFL franchise from Minnesota. May the Caravan of Woe have a safe westward journey on Hwy 29. Happy New Year, mofos!

Let’s beat the LOLions and see how this season ends. A rematch in the Shipwreck or a trip out west ? Whatever, it feels good to be in the hunt.

I'm not happy that the Packers beat the Vikings. I'm thrilled that the Packers kicked the shxt out of them!

Today we were treated to championship level defensive play. the score should have been 41-0 if not for the blocked punt. Starting defense pitched a shut out in this game.
Nixon redeemed the ST unit with his great return for a TD.
Packers dominated both side of the LOS. They stuffed the Vikings runs game and the OL was strong leading the Packers run game.
Rodgers did what he needed to do to move the sticks, add points and run out the clock.
Crosby with a huge FG before the half.
Packers best game of the year. No complaints about what is essentially a 41-0 victory.
Bring in the Lions.
Go Pack Go! Thanks, Since '61

Woooo Hoooo—I told y’all!
The Vikes are the most overrated ever 12-4 team.
Go Jaire-
Go Tonyan-
Go Packers!
Need a bit more pass rush.
Stomp the Lions!!!

The Packers just exposed the biggest frauds In the NFC!
The Queens are a Paper Tiger!

With respect to Vin Scully, this season was on the road of the 'improbable' and now seems to be on the road of making the 'impossible' viable.

Where has that been all season?

Maybe not a dominant offensive performance, but they were 7 of 12 on 3rd down and the defense held the Vikes to 3 points and less than 225 yards until their last couple possessions when it was a 4-score game. When the Vikes were driving in the 3rd, Clark's strip followed by that long drive for 7 to put it away was a thing of beauty.

Will savor this one all week.

If Rodgers starts playing at even his statistical average, this team could actually be a serious contender

I would have much preferred that this was the 1st game rather than the 16th.

*It was great to see our defense playing up to its early season hype. The only Viking's TDs came with starters out & the defense playing soft.
*Jaire knocking down Jefferson was a thing of beauty.
*The ST TD was long in coming. Let's watch it again and again!
*Wasn't it awesome to have our starters play on the offensive line? Minnesota showed what happens when you lose 2. So glad it was their turn.
*We gave another playoff game next week! GPG!

Hellz yes. Most complete game of the season and it was a joy to watch. This late defensive surge likely means Barry isn't going anywhere which I don't like but what can you do.

There's no way we can lose next week... is there?

GPG

So refreshing to see us play with an attitude. On many of those runs, our OL just knocked the defenders back several yards which opened up huge opportunities for Jones in particular. Nice to see Rodgers using his legs when he needs to. The D was flying all over the place and loved Walker’s atomic pile-driver even though he got flagged. Lets see that same intensity next week!!

I watched this game in a bar full of queens fans and watching Alexander hit the griddy was one of the best things I’ve seen as a packers fan

Wow! The Packers sure do look a lot better in 2023 than in 2022.

It's so great watching this fraud Vikings team get exposed when they have to play football the way it was intended to be played and not in their shopping mall of a stadium.
THIS^^^
So much fun. I’m dying to do the same thing to them in their house one more time this year.

Packers still played a lot of 2 d lineman, the middle of the field was a problem , Wyatt can drop back and defend the middle just watch his tape from Georgia . Watson was held on one of those long throws but fun game to watch great win.

I'm under no illusion that this is anything except a fundamentally flawed team with too many holes to be anything more than a pest in the playoffs. Bringing back the old QB with a rebuilding and young team was the height of hubris and stupidity and I think the Packers will be paying the price for years to come. It has been years since I have disliked a Packer team this much. The 1999 and 2015 teams come to mind, as does the 1991 team.

That said, kicking the poop out of a Vikings team that is no better than us, yet has been extremely lucky at every turn was a lot of fun.

Since we can't go back and redo the offseason, I'll hope we beat Detroit ( I think we will) and hope the 9ers lose to AZ (I think they won't). Then facing and hopefully ending Minny's season would be sweet as can be expected for this year.

Great game by everyone! I was hoping Rodgers would do a Lambeau Leap after he scored. Keep it going. Never Tank!

Walkers penalty was my favorite play of the game. Runner up was ja putting Jefferson on his ass when he jammed him at the line. Not sure if not getting 11 on the field or leaving 14 on was more comical. Where was this defense all year??

Wow, that felt so good. Putting a shellacking on the VIQueens is priceless. I'll admit, I too lost confidence in this team after the Detroit loss. 4-8 wasn't looking good. But this team never gave up. Not only did Lafleur do a good job of holding things together, but Aaron Rodgers had a lot to do with no giving up. Next week we take down the Lions. I just didn't think we were heading to the playoffs this year, but here we are! What a crazy season this has been

This was the defense I envisioned at the start of the season. It is unfortunate it took Joe Barry this long to junk his soft zone and let his guys play with some attitude and fire. Hopefully he's learned and turns his guys loose for the rest of the season (however long that is).

I liked the offensive plan for a change - run the damn ball! Leatherhead called it yesterday and the Packers ran it to perfection. Rodgers didn't look too sharp, but he didn't need to be. Good win! Now beat Detroit (which won't be easy as they have the same playoffs spot targeted).

GPG

I'm still in disbelief! That was so much fun. Quite honestly, I'm not sure what to make of this.
As AR said at the end of the game, the O was not great but certainly good. Imagine if AR played well!
D & ST - just amazing. But why did they give up that block?

The Lions are playing well and playing for the lives too. At the end of the day, the Vikings were not. So a win next week might be better evidence that the team has turned it around and we have 'a chance'. Can AR return to better form going forward?

So I'm now optimistic but not confident. But it was a hell of a lot better than losing!
GPG!

Yeah, that was a kicking up and down the field. You could see early on that the defense was playing with a different intensity level, and they choked the Vikings all day. Jefferson, he's shaking his head right now. I don't see how a single player on that Viking team can conclude anything except that the Packers are a lot better than them.

For people who like to rewatch, watch our line just push people out of the way.

Good stuff, Nags!

If I am Detroit's DC, knowing I don't have a great defense overall, the first time GB faces a 3rd and 7 or so, I'd have someone jump the slant to Lazard route. If for some reason Lazard isn't on the field, then jump the slant to Doubs route.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this first half of Packers football. Kickoff returns and INT returns for TDs; multiple defenders containing Vikings ball carriers and bending them backwards when they tried gaining traction; a host of PDs (actually, 10 for the game--that must be a season high) as a result of excellent coverage; and unleashing A. Jones to slice and dice that sorry Vikings defense up. These were the sort of exciting plays that made the NFL so great in decades past--not inflated QB statistics from generous offensive rules.

I heard a rumor that the Vikings have a player named Jefferson....

Back to that red zone stand after the blocked punt--set the tone for the entire game.

Nixon just had to do a couple zigzags through the middle en route to the end zone; the Packer blockers cleared a fairly easy path for him. How nice was it to see that?!!

At least Rodgers did finally stop those deep attempts to Watson. Pretty throw to Tonyan on the TD. Lazard had a solid all-around game. Fine job by the OL.

The Lions have been our final regular season opponent for 7 of the past 9 years; 2016 was for the division title, this time the last playoff spot.

I am much more enthused than I was before this blowout. This performance was no fluke.

Best game all year.
Defense was awesome! This is what we expected and wanted all year. What is with the comment by the announcers about letting the DB's watch the QB more. Is this another thing the coaches were late changing. Does anyone have more info about that.

Nixon is a beast.

Rodgers wasn't perfect. But the running game did really well and let Rodgers be efficient and score points after turnovers. Rodgers and Watson need more practice. Those long bombs can become touchdowns and become game changers for each game going forward.

One more game to go and make the Lions rebuild for another year.

I am pretty stoked by Slaton's play. Then I remember that MN played its third string center, which would be like Hanson on GB. Detroit has pro bowler Frank Ragnow at center. He is good. Really, the Lions' offensive line does not have a weak link. Should be a battle.

WE BEAT the vikings! After we beat the Lions, next weekend, no one will want to play us, in the play offs!!! GO PACK, GO!!!

We have finally woke up ha! Wtf? Bisaccia brought Nixon over and finally let's him play. May the good Lord let him be the coming of the next Desmond Howard. Maybe Joe dc after 30 years learned how to coach? Mlf has to go and watch film of the Lombardi, maybe he can grow a pair of balls and take this team far . Im dreaming, please st, Vince make some majic and let us repeat 2010. Happy New year everyone. Gpg!!!!! Im wishing and dreaming!!!

My gut tells me the Packers took the Vikings to the wood shed!

I'm giddy about the win, but my gut still says this.
Green Bay's defense finally played up to their talent level. But it's still a highly recognizable scheme. Moving 23 to man was good, but still not perfect. When the 2nd team came in, the lack of coaching became way too obvious. The defense is relying on talent, not schemes based on opponent strength and weakness. Joe Barry still has to go.

It's been a long time since we got to relax in the fourth quarter and savor a blowout win! How weird that at one point in the first quarter we had negative yardage passing and less than 20 yards overall, yet had an 11 point lead.

Apparently we don't have to fire or bench everyone after all.

If you want to see how much the switch has flipped, just browse through the sewer of frustration and negativity in the posts while the Packers lost five straight, bottoming out an an ugly 4-8.

I am always happy when we not only beat the Vikes but when we crush the Vikes. Now we have only one more big win to seal one of the best comebacks of the last few years. I think and there has been a few negative AR posts already - but the results are the results. Tom Brady is the most fantastic when chips are down player ??? But if a dumb running back for New Orleans had not run out of bounds short of the sticks - NO would have won that game and not given Brady that chance. And if Seattle hadnt passed instead of running in that Superbowl from the 2 yard line - one less Superbowl for Brady. What does that matter??? W's matter. And for today if the offense wasnt the best part - if the defense was - so what Coldworld - AR got the W - he ran it in for a TD ( he was supposed to be immobile) he moved well in the pocket and hit Tonyon. Geeze I dont know what some people want.
Now I have been posting ( and havent changed my mind) I would still hope - and no matter what happens the rest of the year - that AR gets traded. I believe that he would be a better alternative for the Raiders than Brady - because he is younger and his relationship with Davante. And we need to move on - because we need to know about Love and the continuity for him is important - as it was with Rodgers when he took over from #4. But that is a separate issue. Now that we are on this streak - lets go all the way - and one thing that we know from teams who enter the dance - who knows what will happen and how things will work out - last Superbowl we won all the games on the road.

1) What a relaxing game to watch after the 1st Q. Can't remember what year that last occurred.

2) It took Joe Berry 17 weeks to figure out man press is the way to allow the DBs to shine. He still needs to be fired after the season ends for incompetence.

3) MLF's play calling was meh once again, but today it didn't matter. AR had a below average game and again it didn't matter.

Happy New Year.... GPG!

The Good:
1. The most complete win we've seen thus far this season. Offense, defense and special teams all made plays. It was complementary, total football that we've all been dying for.
2. Special teams - despite the blocked punt, the Nixon return for a TD set the tone of the game, Crosby's 56 yard that doinked in!
3. DEFENSE - overall body language and energy was there. They were ready to play. The turnovers, the hard hits, the goal line stand set the tone early, aggressive, in-your-face approach to Jefferson that I'VE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR
4. Offensive line - only gave up 1 sack, 0 Tackles For Loss. Za'Darius Smith and Danielle Hunter didn't do shit against Bakhtiari and YOSH NIJMAN (re-sign that man!)
5. Team discipline - aside from Quay Walker's bodyslam, it was a pretty clean game for the most part.
6. Offense - Rodgers finally took what the defense was giving him and also handed the ball off and let Jones and Dillon do their thing. It looked like LaFleur's offense again and not just Rodgers slinging it all over the yard trying to play hero ball.

The Bad:
1. The blocked punt - just irritating this late in the season
2. Devonte Wyatt - only had 1 tackle. I need to see his snap count, but was expecting a lot more after the Miami game and with Dean Lowry going on IR
3. 2nd half soft zone - Packers came out giving Jefferson a large cushion after getting in his face in the 1st half. Why take your foot off the gas, Joe Barry?

The Ugly:
Za'Darius Smith refusing to shake hands with the Packers at the coin toss, and then running off the field and being the first into the tunnel once the game ended. He came across as a whiny, classless low life who's still butthurt the Packers didn't keep him.

ONTO DETROIT!

Tom actually played Right Tackle, not Yosh and he played well just as he did playing Left Tackle the last few weeks. What a find he has been!
