Vikings Have Difficult Path Ahead with J.J. McCarthy

Vikings Have Difficult Path Ahead with J.J. McCarthy

After a miserable loss to the Green Bay Packers, a game in which J.J. McCarthy continued to struggle, the Minnesota Vikings face an increasingly difficult path with McCarthy’s development. The increased difficulty comes as McCarthy appears to have lost confidence after six games of ongoing accuracy and other issues.

The Vikings’ game plan against the Packers was a conservative one offensively, looking to run the ball and take the pressure off McCarthy after rallying veterans around McCarthy to help boost his confidence earlier in the week. It didn’t work.

The Viking’s scoring drives stalled in the first half resulting in...

Vikings Barely Competitive In Season-Ending Loss to Packers

Vikings Barely Competitive In Season-Ending Loss to Packers

For all intents and purposes, the competitive portion of the Minnesota Vikings’ 2025 season came to a screeching halt on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field.

After going into halftime trailing 10-6, the Vikings completely fell apart in the second half, with another special teams gaffe sending the team into a spiral that resulted in a 23-6 loss on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field.

The Vikings drew first blood in this one, getting a 52-yard field goal from Will Reichard on their first possession to stake themselves to a 3-0 lead two minutes into the contest. Green Bay immediately responded, marching...

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers: Third Quarter Recap and Fourth Quarter Discussion

It’s time for the final fifteen minutes of football at Lambeau Field, as your Minnesota Vikings trail the Green Bay Packers by a score of 17-6, and they’re on the verge of adding more.

The Packers got the football first coming out of the locker room, as they won the opening coin toss and deferred to the second half. They quickly found themselves in Minnesota territory after Jordan Love escaped the pocket and scrambled to the Minnesota 45. But the offense stalled from there and the Packers punted it away. . .or so we thought. Myles Price called for a...

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers: Second Quarter Recap and Third Quarter Discussion

They’re heading into the Lambeau Field locker rooms at halftime, and your Minnesota Vikings trail by a score of 10-6 against the Green Bay Packers.

The Vikings’ offense got themselves on a roll behind Jordan Mason to start the second quarter, handing the ball to Jordan Mason on multiple plays and getting the offense into the red zone. Then, on a 3rd-and-1 play from the Green Bay 17, they had T.J. Hockenson take a snap from under center and attempt a sneak for no gain. The ensuing 4th-and-1 saw Mason get stuffed for no gain, resulting in a turnover on...

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers: First Quarter Recap and Second Quarter Discussion

We have made it through the first quarter of play at Lambeau Field, and your Minnesota Vikings trail the Green Bay Packers by a score of 7-3.

The Vikings got the football first, as the Packers won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. J.J. McCarthy led the offense onto the field, and for the first time this season he lined up behind the starting offensive line the Vikings had envisioned on Day 1. Aaron Jones got the first two touches of the game, carrying it twice for 16 yards, and McCarthy then found Justin Jefferson for a...

SB Nation Reacts Results: No Benching (for now)

We’re on the eve of the first of this year’s Border Battles against the Green Bay Packers, so let’s take a quick look at the results of our SB Nation Reacts questions for this week about our Minnesota Vikings.

As always, our first question this week was about whether or not our readers feel that the purple are moving in the right direction. I expected a drop-off this week, and while I was right in that regard, I’m pleasantly surprised that the drop wasn’t quite as large as I was expecting it to be.

Of our respondents, 32% feel that...

HATE WEEK IS HERE! Vikings vs Packers Lambeau Invasion

In the latest fire-filled episode of Two Old Bloggers on Vikings 1st & SKOL, Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano don’t hold back on why Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s massive 2025 offseason spending spree — Jonathan Allen, Javon Hargrave, Will Fries, Ryan Kelly and more — looks like a bust through ten games (or at least not what was expected), why benching J.J. McCarthy for Max Brosmer is a terrible idea, and how the suddenly healthy offensive line and a waking-up Dallas Turner give Minnesota faint hope. Then Drew Bunting storms in for the always-electric “Inside The Numbers” preview of the 130th Border...

It’s Must-Win Time for the Vikings at Lambeau

The time has come. The time is now.

This Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will battle the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The Week 12 matchup holds the fate of the 2025 Minnesota Vikings season. At 4-6, there is little room for error if the Vikings want to have a chance of vying for a playoff spot. A win against the Green Bay Packers would go a long way, and improve the Vikings’ division record to 3-1.

The only thing that is keeping Minnesota afloat in the playoff rankings is that divisional record, which could have a tremendous impact...

Vikings Make Handful of Roster Moves Ahead of Green Bay Game

Vikings Make Handful of Roster Moves Ahead of Green Bay Game

With less than twenty-four hours to go before they kick things off against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, the Minnesota Vikings have made a handful of last-minute moves.

First, the team has added center Ryan Kelly to the 53-man roster without an injury designation, meaning that he is likely in line to start tomorrow against Green Bay. The Vikings had placed Kelly on injured reserve following his second concussion of the season back in Week 4, and opened his practice window ahead of last week’s game against Chicago.

If Kelly does start. . .and all indications at this...
