    Unlike some (Bell for example), Thielan is not getting paid anywhere near his worth.

    I doubt he plays in purple next year for his current wage, but I don’t know the cap situation for Minny.

    He has a different situation than most. Wasn't chased for college, not invited to the combine, undrafted and given a chance to play for his hometown team. Also given a nice contract before he really showed how good he is. I would be shocked if he held out.

    He has 2 more seasons after this season at 4.8 million per year there are kickers making more money.

    He’s on pace to shatter last years numbers, which were very very good. He’s actually setting records.

    For $4.8 million? Yeah...keep telling yourself he’ll take a home town discount...lol.

    I'm not saying they shouldn't give him more money. I just don't think he is going to scream and cry about it like other players do. If the team is smart they go to him and give him more money without him asking.

    Actually the record is tied, I do not buy into ignoring stats from before the SB era.

    Have to admit, Packers D looked great today. Still glad they lost but they put up a fight until the end. Closest game the Rams came to losing this year.

    Mike calls a TO on 3rd down the team comes out of the huddle and gives up an instant sack, not a coverage sack. So Mike like and he has to go if the Packers are going to be elite again. Ty clean out your locker your time in Green Bay is over as well.

    I agree Sota-- who calls these stupid plays ? McCarthy !!! we have a running game, highest rated yards per carry. yet small amount of runs, pass on 3rd and 1 yard ??? We need a head coach who will put the brakes on Rogers, Yes 40 to 50 yard passes are pretty but not efficient, when packers play pass and catch in short range they have always moved the ball, Plus short pass game makes it very difficult to sack Rogers !!!!!!!!! C,Mon McCarthy !!!!!

    I expected more out of the Vikings this year. They showed that they can’t handle the Saints or the Rams, doing pretty poorly for a team that had Super Bowl aspirations in the beginning of the year

    Everyone set expectations WAY too high coming into the year. Injuries are a huge factor in how we are doing as a team.

    You can’t blame people for high expectations given making it to the NFC championship and then signing Cousins and Richardson in the offseason. Injuries are definitely a factor but all teams have injuries. I do believe we would be doing a whole lot better with even an average O line. Ours is downright terrible.
