I can’t wait for Philly to beat you guys again like in 2017.

Now go away back to Sconny....

SOURCE: PACKER WIRE

Here are five stats to know from the Packers’ loss to the Vikings in Week 17:

14: Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was under pressure on only 14 of 44 dropbacks, and he completed 26 of 30 passes when kept clean in the pocket, per Pro Football Focus. Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers didn’t play up to their standard in terms of rushing the quarterback. Jeff Hafley tried to blitz Darnold early, but he ate it up.

The front four just wasn’t good enough.

1-for-5: Jordan Love was 1-for-5 on passes thrown over 20 yards in the air. His lone completion was a wide open connection to Tucker Kraft for 35 yards in the fourth quarter. On the other side, Darnold was 4-for-5 for 99 yards and two touchdowns on throws over 20 yards against a defense that had shut down explosive plays all season.

The Vikings won a decisive win in the deep passing game battle.

47.1 percent: The Vikings played man coverage on 47.1 percent of the Packers’ dropbacks, per Next Gen Stats, and Jordan Love averaged only 4.2 yards per attempt against man coverage. The Packers didn’t have Christian Watson, arguably the team’s best man coverage beater, and Matt LaFleur admitted he didn’t have enough answers and adjustments to the coverage looks early on.

Love had only 64 passing yards entering the fourth quarter. Drops were an issue against man coverage.

2: Rookie safety Javon Bullard was credited with giving up two touchdown passes. Jalen Nailor got behind the coverage for a 31-yard score, and Jordan Addison beat him on a double move for a score to open the third quarter. Bullard, who missed two games while battling an ankle injury, started in the slot but had to move back to safety after Zayne Anderson went out. It was a tough challenge for a rookie coming off an injury, and the Vikings took advantage.

Bullard gave up six catches on six targets for 72 yards.

7: The Packers had seven penalties. Three penalties negated a first down or touchdown. Two penalties handed the Vikings a first down. One penalty gave the Vikings a second chance at a field goal before the half.

Matt LaFleur said the Packers were “sloppy” and didn’t play with proper fundamentals.

We beat ourselves. If this was in Lambeau we would have beaten you guys. I can’t wait to get you guys at home again.

And with that, you've proven you are not capable (and/or wanting) an intelligent conversation about football. 

I'm out...

I hope we see you guys again in the playoffs. We will beat you guys then. Knocking the Vikings out of the playoffs would be awesome!

In Lambeau yesterday we would have beaten you guys by 30.

You truly are delusional. That is all I wanted to say. You guys had two chances. 0-2

If Jaire Alexander had played we would have beaten you guys twice. You guys were lucky with us missing Field Goals the first time.

You do realize that Jefferson is the best WR in the league, correct?

Nah Vikings already beat the Packers in Lambeau. Game over, thanks for playing

Cheer up Packers fans, you will still be ahead of the Vikings in 50% of the expert power rankings.

Likely a dagger. Massively disappointing game for GB.

Down 28-0 to Minnesota.
Down 24-3 to Detroit
Down 17-7 to Detroit
Down 20-3 to Minnesota

That’s a net 89-13 deficit to start those 4 games. Just completely out classed by their biggest NFC North foes.

Alright who’s the sock puppet?

I doubt Packer fans even know about this place. We’re not exactly a huge spot on the internet.

Lol, see my post a few pages back. This is 100% someone from this board who's salty that their insesent shitting on the off-season moves was epically wrong.

You guys aren’t making it far in the playoffs anyway. Hope you enjoy losing the division next week and the first round of the playoffs.

As you age and mature in your years ahead , you'll  learn and come to  understand "Football karma"  is a thing, and it's never a good idea to do what you're doing.....

It always blows up in your face.

Always.

I was listening to the local sports radio and they had a Packer beat reporter on...

His thoughts were that this is the ceiling of the current version of the Packers. Good team that beats average to bad teams by a lot, but can't beat the strong teams in the conference since their losses are to Detroit and MN twice and Philly.

I don't have the stats in front of me, but he said in their games against teams with less than 10 wins, they allowed 16 ppg and scored around 28 ppg? But in their games against teams with 10+ wins, their defense gave up an average of 30 ppg and they scored under their season scoring average on offense...

I think the Packers are good enough to win a WC playoff game but I don't see them making a deep run. Love isn't an elite QB and their defense is solid, but not talented enough in the secondary to stop strong passing attacks.

I dont have all the skill of SWA, but with my limited skills and access, I dont believe this to be the case unless somebody is really bent on trolling with anonymity.

100%. This isn't a great Packer's team and the things you mention bear that out....only the ridiculous national media hyped them like they always do. Love isn't worth that contract by any stretch.

No,

I left the stadium thinking the same...

Not sure what the ceiling is? But I don't see next in line from Favre to Rogers to ------
