Packers 38, Vikings 25

The Vikings fell to the Packers 38-25 today in Green Bay.  With this loss, the Vikings fall to 7-8 on the season.  This loss also officially eliminated from playoff contention.  What a disappointment this season has become.  They started out 5-0, then proceeded to go 2-8 thru their next 10 games.  I've never seen anything like it.  Injuries (specifically to the offensive line) have just decimated them.  I didn't see much passion or drive out of them down the stretch either.  Embarrassing.

Observations:

• The Vikings vaunted defense appears to be highly overrated.  
• Adam Thielen has been quite the revelation this season. 
• The margin for error for the Vikings offense is really small. 
• You know the Vikings offensive line is bad when you pine for Matt Kalil.   
• Why does it always seem like the Packers get all the calls against the Vikings?
• The Vikings red zone offense continues to struggle. 
• That was a heckuva catch by Adam Thielen early on in the game. 
• Danielle Hunter is now up to 12 sacks on the season. 
• Turnovers:  Vikings 2, Packers 0
• Eric Kendricks showed up to play.  Not many other Vikings bothered.  
• Once again, Sam Bradford is the least of the Vikings problems. 
• The Vikings offensive line play has been godawful this season. 
• Kai Forbath may have earned himself a job for next season. 
• Stefon Diggs needs more touches for the Vikings offense.  
• The Vikings offense is unbelievably unimaginative on third downs. 
• That may have been the worst QB snap ever by Nick Easton. 
• Packer fans didn't seem to appreciate Adam Thielen's Lambeau Leap. 
• It would be nice if the Vikings had a number 1 draft pick this coming off season. 
• The Vikings plane skidding of the runway was a bad omen. 
• Up next?  Chicago Bears in Minneapolis to close their season.
