Alright look, for the 7 millionth time to the Cook Fan Bois. The criticism of Cook has never been about his ability. It's about his durability. Every Vikings fan is aware of what he's capable of, but he's not exactly dangerous when he's standing on the sidelines in street clothes 8 games a year.

It would also help if he could have games like this in January, when it matters, or in prime time, like Mattison against the Seahawks. Mattison has the durability going for him too. Cook had 9 carries for 18 yards against the 49ers, when we needed him most because Cousins was utter dog sh*t again.

The 49ers did Rodgers just as bad as they did Kirk. Worse maybe. At least till after they had a 28-0 lead. I believe they had the plan to stop Cook and make Kirk beat them. Then they flipped and said stop Aaron and they did for the part that really mattered. The 49ers had a good post season by being smart.

So you're saying they have a HC who knows what he's doing while ours keeps banging his head against the wall? *whistle*

Some of us keep saying we should try to get a HC who knows what he's doing so we can win a little more often. Even when the current HC wins he's still gotta make us all nervous because after 7 seasons he still hasn't figure out how to finish a game. How many double digit 4th quarter leads does he have to blow before he figures it out?

We will still win the division and go to the playoffs while you guys watch us LOL.

Yeah but we made that road to Tampa just a little more tougher on you today. Only 1 team gets a bye now, and the Packers haven't exactly been great on the road in the playoffs during the Rodgers era, so it'll be fun watching you get blown out in another NFCCG at Tompa Bay like a couple weeks ago, or at Seattle. Tampa Bay playing for that home Super Bowl, so they might have the league on their side too. I'm sure that'll be strange for you Packers fans.

I bet it was weird seeing the Vikings get all the calls today too. See how it goes when you gotta play against your opponent and the refs? Well that's been life as a Vikings fan whenever we travel to Lambeau. Fun ain't it?

Yeah right. We own you guys still.

Isn't this the same argument that is made against Zimmer's Vikings? They've looked like a well-oiled machine against bad teams and then fall apart against good teams. Their strength on offense is running the ball, and when they fall behind they have problems... sounds familiar!

That wasn't by design though was it? Running being our strength? Is that why we paid Cousins all that money? I think the real plan blew up in their face and now they're just trying to make due. The Packers on the other hand are completely built around Rodgers. And you won't get an argument from me about beating up on losing teams. Zim is still #1 in that department, but you don't get to play losing teams in the playoffs, so it doesn't mean a whole lot other than it helps him get a shot at losing more playoff games haha.

And historically you can't even compare these 2 franchises lol. Completely different expectations. For one team it's the norm, they have the mediocre mindset, while the other has championship aspirations. They're not called title town for nothing.

Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys & SF have more SB wins then them and they've been to 1 SB in the last 23 years. Granted it was a win but i think that whole title town thing might be a little outdated.

Snatching the future victory of picking Trevor Lawrence from the jaws of an obvious potential defeat at Lambeau... it's your 2020
Minnesota Vikings! *lol*

Extremely doubtful Jets may go 0-16

The Jets would do everyone a favor by taking Lawrence. I don't think he's going to be as bad as Manziel, but he's way over hyped like Johnny Clown Show was. I remember a million Vikings fans who wanted him too. My money is still on Justin Fields, but the Vikings won't have a shot at him either. Slick Rick only knows how to trade back.

Yeah we can congratulate Zim as well I guess. Cook made his defense look good by limiting Rodgers offensive opportunities. He made our QB look better for the same reason...lol.
Kirk only attempted 14 passes. Cook was so good he effected both QB's positively for us.

Limited Kirk to 14 pass attempts was key

It is sad that we have to handicap our offensive play calling to protect ourselves against our $150mil franchise QB....... just think about how asinine that truly is ffs

I'll start this with saying I'm firmly off the Kirk bandwagon and want him gone, but when your pass protection is suspect at best and there are 30+ mph wins, wouldn't you expect QBs to be limited?

Well I will say I won't disagree and leave it alone. Except to say winning big games that matter does matter.

Yeah right. We own you guys still.

You own us, yet you couldn't put up more than 22 points against our defense that more closely resembles a practice squad, at home? We just got blown out by a pathetic Falcons team in our own stadium, yet you couldn't even take us down when we were at our worst?! *GBsux*

Well having back to back Hall of Fame QB's might have spoiled a whole generation or 2 of Packers fans the past 30 years, but the gravy train is over when Rodgers retires. Unless you think you're going to Love your way into a 3rd straight lol. Your franchise will be back to where it was from 1968 to 1991 when you guys weren't saying much. You've already had a taste of what that's like in 2017. You're going to go through your share of Matt Flynn's and Brett Hundley's for awhile here soon enough.

You guys were lucky today. If we don’t fumble we would have went down the field and scored to win.

Well I just watched the Bears send it to OT. I bet you're watching that as well. If they pull it off then we really did hurt you. I will take that small victory.
