So it turns out that Aaron Rodgers is a terrible person after all? Who knew!

If he was not wearing the masks, going to team meetings, traveling with the team and not getting more frequently tested when other unvaccinated QBs around the league were held to these restrictions and inconveniences, Rodgers needs to be suspended for the year and GB needs to lose draft picks. That's no more of an unfair advantage than deflating footballs.

If he also avoided more frequent testing prior to that Cardinals game when the team knew half of the receiving corp had COVID, they should be forced to forfeit that game.

Bradbury out with Covid. Frankly, i got no idea what happened with him. EVERY single pre-draft guru / site / scout said he'd be an average NFL center.....

Let's hope Cole can do the job.

It’s all making sense now; we misunderstood. They probably meant he’d be an average incubation center for communicable diseases.

Why not Wyatt Davis?

My assumption is they play Cole. I'm good with Davis.....

Awesome, Rodgers went full on Looney Tunes. He's so sensitive, he just needed to be criticized enough for him to be unable to hold in his true irrational and self-serving thoughts any longer. What a headache this guy must be to work with. Hopefully Rodgers and the NFL continue to make each other miserable. They deserve each other.

Of course, we as fans deserve better.....

Potentially a net positive with the loss of Bradbury. Not only has he given up the most pressures by a Center this year, he leads that stat over the last 3 years.

I understand more now why Favre, the Packers, and his own family have had it out for him.  What an insufferable a-hole.

Harrison Smith = OUT. COVID.

Another fantastic desperation extension by Spielman this off season. 

 

[Vanimal46]

Udoh gets injured, and something called Blake Brandel, a backup tackle, is playing over 3rd round pick Wyatt Davis? What is wrong with Davis?

[TheLeviathan]

And today the team looks really good again.  WTF?

[USAFChief]

So the Vikings, up 14-3, get a pick with about 1:40 before halftime. Downed inside the 15. On 1st down, call a running play...OK. Good idea. At worst, you burn 35 seconds off the clock, or force a TO from Baltimore. 

 

But..

No. 

 

The stupid *********** VIKINGS call time, followed by the completely predictable discombobulated 2 incomplete passes and a FG...leaving Baltimore 1:30 and 2 TOs. Why in heaven's name are the VIKINGS calling a TO there???

And sure enough the Ravens get the most predictable TD drive in history,, and the Vikings end up NEGATIVE 4 pts in the last 2 minutes of the half, despite a pick setting them up with 1st down at the 13 yard to start the 2 minute drill.

 

How TF does Zimmer still have a job,??

Odd choice by the coaches. If he's not ready, that's on them at this point.

Just awful. He still has no idea how to manage the clock. None. After all these years.

I mean it wasn't even mildly complicated. 

 

Just monumentally stupid. 

[Vanimal46]

Special teams showing up today!

[cHawk]

What an atrocious penalty call on the equipment assistant.

[cHawk]

Zimmer can’t be fired fast enough!

[USAFChief]

Cousins is actually a better passer than Jackson. 

 

But the difference in mobility is so enormous as to render everything else meaningless.

[Vanimal46]

Run on 1st down, 5 yard pass on 3rd and 18. #ZimmerBall 

[Vanimal46]

Groundhog’s Day every Sunday. If the offense doesn’t score the rest of the game, we will have 6 out of 8 games without an offensive TD in the 2nd half.

They won’t score because they have to. Cousins really isn’t a clutch guy 

[LVTwinsfan]

Well I said before this game started the Vikings would lose. I shouldn’t be disappointed now

[Vanimal46]

Wish I could say I’m shocked that we blew the lead, but I’m not. Nothing is going to change until Zimmer is fired.

Just a horrible take. This is the coaches.

How many times do I need to see him throw a checkdown on 3rd and 18? I don’t remember Keenum doing this.
