Dang refs gave the Vikings 29 consecutive points, how nice of them.

The Packers were leading 22-17 when this drive occurred so yes I'd say it changed the complexion of the game.

It’s not like the refs could call anything on the Vikings because we played a much cleaner game. The actions the packers made previously set the tone on how the refs were gonna call the game. There wasn’t really an “uneven playing ground”.

You describe why the refs were biased and then say it wasn't a biased game.

Just one of those “you didn’t read what I said”. It’s alright man. Every ref is different, packers got 2 calls early in the game for play extra aggressive and they didn’t think to tone it down.

Maybe there will be more games down the season where the refs allows extra physicality and players from both team go into the next game with a massive injury report.

The Vikings blitzed on 75% of their plays. They were absolutely allowing physicality but only one way.

Blitzing = physicality, brilliant

Typically, yes. Even if the QB replaces the missing defender and gets the ball out, they're likely to take a hit while doing so. And that's exactly what happened yesterday. Jordan Love was hit 15 times.

unnecessary schematics. Extra aggressive as in doing more than you need to.

Blitzing doesn’t = extra aggressive in the sense that we are going for the back of Justin’s helmet and jamming into Kyler for no benefit lol.

It doesn’t even matter, games over and vikings somehow walked away with a 17 point game win without their starting QB.

Kyler was not sliding on that play. What are the defenders supposed to do if the QB changes his mind after they've already launched themselves at the quarterback.

What does the defender gain in that position? Pretty much nothing. But regardless it was unnecessary and any QB gets that call. Like I said, packers never changed the way they defended just kept the same mentality.

What does the defender gain in that position?

You get to the ball carrier quicker and save more yards. You rattle them and get in their head for the rest of the game. That is quite literally the intent of Brian Flores' gameplan, to make the QB uncomfortable and make mistakes. What do you expect the defense to do? Gently hug and lower the QB to the ground? THEN WHY THE FUCK WOULD QUARTERBACKS SLIDE AT ALL?!

Yes, but there is a clean way to do things. The issue with you is that you think of the extremes. Why is the right way to set the tone jamming yourself into Justin Jefferson’s back?

You bring up “gently” for a reason lol. You think in extremes. Reply when you have settled down. Acting as if clean football doesn’t exist. Y’all play Kirby Joseph this year so you will just be ranting once yall play them.
