Apparently the Packers made a weird touchdown in Denver and broke the game.
The one with two people holding the ball at the same time? Thankfully it didn't matter in the end - the Packers would have lost either way. 🙂
 
TJ Hockenson injured...but now he's fine.

Right before the injury, one of the Vikings coach yells "TJ go down."
 
I'm VERY surprised, but pleased that Minnesota beat San Francisco tonight.
Yea Cousins & Addison played their asses off. Their O'line was air tight on pass protection and Purdy just didn't look comfortable in the 2nd half. Take away the fluke TD right before the half and the game would probably have been different. That's what you get for sending everyone after Cousins and leaving your DBs out on an island. 9ers play calling wasn't all that great and we didn't get the ball to Aiyuk at all in the 2nd half which IMO was inexcusable. I'll take a 5-2 record but the Seachickens are right on our backs. The D needs to play better and hopefully we get Williams and Deebo back soon.
 
Rookie QB. Howell's a 5th round pick and plays like an unpolished 5th round pick. Has his peaks, has his lows.

Predictable DC. I am used to the defense coughing up at least a big play every game. There is nothing special of the LB corp and the Dline is overrated for what they are.

And Ron Rivera is a nice guy coach....Bieniemy is a hard ass and O has better conditioning than prior years...but Eric B. isn't involved with the D players.

The Oline isn't nothing special. Not terrible, but not good, and combined with a sometimes-indecisive rookie QB, it means a lot of sacks.

He's a UNC QB. You never fucking draft or hire a QB that played at UNC. Never. It's the same with Duke. They are all hot garbage when they try to go pro. They always have and always will. I'm not sure why, it just is.

Now watch the NFL make the same fucking mistake again when some dumb team, likely the Browns, wastes their top pick on fucking Flake Mayye in the next one or two years. Just watch.

It looked to me like the planned for a MN with Justin Jefferson, and MN unsurprisingly came out with a scheme to adjust without him.

Not that the Niners didn't know that by Wednesday or whatever, but I'm guessing it's hard to plan for a team when you have no idea what they're going to show that day. Still, crazy that they got run all over like that.

Purdy looked great...until that very last pass. ouch.

Purdy had at last 2 or three picks in the second half alone.
 
Well it appears SOME of his bad play can be blamed on the hit to the head on a QB sneak. I swear some QB's mastered that ability ala Tom Brady, not the brother shove stuff the Eagles are doing, other QB's have zero feel to where to sneak in that play and it shows.
Also I saw/heard Fred was hurt/injured but haven't seen anything about it since the game...?
 
Ahhhh .... Chicago is a FINE pro-football team. 🙄

(Better than the Giants right now though!)
