Live Blog: Vikings try to keep hope alive in Green Bay
The Vikings are in Green Bay, hoping they can upset the Packers and hoping that other teams cooperate over the weekend to give them a shot at making the post season.
Thanks for joining us today. We'll be back for the last game of the season next Sunday against the Bears.

It's been interesting watching the Vikings Strib comment sections since week 7. The 5 stages of grief and loss have been on full display. The final stage, acceptance, is here today for some of you.

Bradford had no touch in end zone throws.

I for one still like the Bradford trade, Teddy will not be able to play next year. Would could have predicted the OL decimation.

It's been a thielen show, the only Viking with guts.

Kyle Rudolph another overrated guy that got paid way too much for what he brings. Spielman always finds a way to pay the wrong guys

Wilf's need to wake up and realize their hire of Rick Spielman as GM is a colossal error in judgment...and with no 1st and 4th round pick in 2017, there is almost no hope for the Viking future....the Philadelphia Eagles thank Rick Spielman for setting up their future success

Why throw a 5 yard pass in the middle and then have to use your final time-out....how dumb is that
by Hmmmmm12/24/2016 9:13:44 PM
We need to clear house on the offensive side of the ball. No more Pat Shurmer, no leftovers from Norv Turner, no Tony Sparano, and most of all, get rid of nearly the entire starting OL.
by SadVikingsFan12/24/2016 9:13:37 PM
All we need is 2 scores in 32 sec.
by Dima12/24/2016 9:13:35 PM
We need two TDs and Bradford still throwing 3 yard passes with 26 seconds left. #headscratcher

1st and goal from the 1 is now 1st and goal from the 16

Vikings are going the wrong way.

Vikings are humiliating themselves on garbage time. Even if this game was close, they'd be screwing this all up. Just stop please.
Treadwell and Floyd....Rick Spielman is your best friend.

TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE. Zimmer a fake coach , Spielman a Fake general manager. Fire both

I still Love Kai!! Go Pack !!
by Lisa D12/24/2016 9:01:34 PM
The SD/Cleveland is more interesting to me, at 0-14, they are playing harder than the vikings!
by azvikingfan12/24/2016 9:01:28 PM
Well, let's see, we need two OT, RG, C, RB, DT, LB, CB, and S. Half the guys on this team wouldn't make any other team. Rick Spielman has destroyed this team, just like he did the Dolphins.
by SadVikingsFan12/24/2016 9:01:25 PM
Twice the Vikes have started 5-0 and missed the playoffs! My God!
by KennyLL12/24/2016 9:01:20 PM
And Mike Zimmer is overrated as a HC and defensive guru. He's good, but he's not great.
Kai Forbath is not a kicker that we want to keep either. Nice fill in. Does not have the leg strength. Just another position the Vikings should look to improve on.

Turn out the lights the parties over
by mpdad163812/24/2016 8:55:39 PM
It's been a "Kai Forbath hits the upright on the PAT" kind of year for the @Vikings.
The Packers learned the hard way about letting up last week. They can let up when the Vikings concede.
by RHI12/24/2016 8:52:52 PM
Forbath missed the extra point. Great...now we're probably going to lose.
by Graham Cracker12/24/2016 8:52:49 PM
I really think 2020 will be our year!!!!
by SlickerRick12/24/2016 8:52:45 PM
Bradford is not a guy to build around. He's immobile and too comfortable throwing well short of the chains on 3rd down.
by SadVikingsFan12/24/2016 8:52:43 PM
Packers 2 penalties. NFL is so rigged. They want Packers to be in playoffs
by Wayhe12/24/2016 8:52:42 PM
This team is an embarrassment, thank you, Rick Spielman....
by Hmmmmm12/24/2016 8:52:39 PM
Even the D was never as good as they looked early in the season. Now exposed as huge pretenders. Significant gaps in talent will leave the team struggling next year too
by SadVikingsFan12/24/2016 8:50:14 PM
can it get any worse
by PurpleRain12/24/2016 8:50:10 PM
As bad of a team as Minnesota is right now, Sam Bradford has had a very good year. With an offensive line that isn't division III, Bradford is a guy you can build around.
by TP12/24/2016 8:50:08 PM
I have been a fan since the vikings came to minnesota - not sure how much more I can take-about ready to become a packer fan-at least they are winners!! our offense is pathetic!! Defense not better!
