Lets light this candle. Let me just preface this masterpiece by saying, I could basically respond to that entire post of tweets with the simple phrase, "at least we're not Detroit" lol. None of those stats wow anyone, and none of them have led to any hardware. Wait, let me check real quick ... yep, the trophy case is still empty.
Perhaps I'm being a little unfair with my Detroit comment?
At least we're not the Bears.
At least we're not the Panthers.
Yeah you're right, that makes it better. Hey guys, at least we're not the Colts.
So it's not #1?
Wait, why are we only going back 5 years? What happened 6 years ago? Ohhhh ho ho lol, we went 2-6 on the road in 2014. My propaganda detector is starting to tingle a little bit. The top 5 road teams the past 5 years have all won a Super Bowl the past decade, and the other 2 have been to one. 5 of the 6 teams after us (9 thru 15) have either been to or won a Super Bowl too. 
I'll let vikecycle handle.
Ahhh well too bad they failed to score more than 21 points in the 11 home losses where they gave up more than 21 points then.
If this guy isn't about propaganda he should have put the 29-0 into context. Before I consult Paul for the right answer, I'll just venture a guess and assume most teams have a damn good home record when they score 21 or more points, so lets find out, because as much as @keeniac hates it, this isn't twitter so I can do more than 144 characters xD.
And the results are in. The Vikings are the only team that's undefeated, so yay we're finally #1, but the entire league wins 80% (.794) of the time when they score more than 21 points at home lol. So it ain't even impressive. Even the Bengals are 24-1-2. Everyone is above 55%. The Giants are the worst at 13-10 (.556). But who cares? How many Lombardi's has it led to?
There are definitely some, but you're right, not that many. Maybe it's just not as bad as some of us like to pretend? That's a real possibility.
You're not even serious. Where's my McEnroe meme?
He does a lot of these things to put things in perspective ... and to myth bust. Rather refreshing!Ouch! Shots fired. J/k, you can't hurt me. 
If you want actual deep ball stats, you have to ask Reignman for access to his spreadsheetI thoroughly destroyed Homer Nicks deep ball propaganda a couple years ago when he tried to paint Teddy effing Ballgame as the deep ball king xD. It's like these twitter heads don't enjoy having any credibility or something. I mean first of all, they've chosen the worst possible medium to dispense stats with. Twitter? Lol are you serious? That's how you know they're "special".
Boom! 2401 characters ... suck it twitter. That's a proper way to do a debunking.
For context, that's better than the Texans, Rams, Bears, Niners, Titans, and Panthers, most notably.

They rank 15th in the NFL since 2015 in primetime win%.
At least we're not the Bears.
They rank 15th in the NFL since 2015 in this parameter.
At least we're not the Panthers.
Also, the Colts have the real problem in primetime. 6-15 in the last six years.
Yeah you're right, that makes it better. Hey guys, at least we're not the Colts.
In the last 5 years, the Vikings have the 8th best road record in the NFL.
So it's not #1?

W/L Record, since 2015:
Packers = 46-33-1
Vikings = 50-29-1
Packers = 46-33-1
Vikings = 50-29-1

They are 29-0 in home games when they score more than 21 points, in the last 6 seasons.
