Murray has like 60 yards on 18 carries. Let's just keep FEEDING him the ball, for a yard and a cloud of dust.
It's not working. Why are you continuing to force feed him? He's the weakest weapon on the team. You have Diggs, Rudolph, McKinnon, and Thielen. But let's just keep feeding the guy who isn't getting the job done.

Give McKinnon a shot. He's approximately 10 times faster than Murray. No, keep feeding Murray.

That too.
I'm sure they think something along the lines of 'we need a 'downhill runner' in this game because it is cold and the turf is subpar.'
They should be up 20 plus points, and these zero plays to Murray are a big reason why they aren't.
I have Thielen, who is unfortunately been useless. But in my picks pool I have Minnesota and I'm tied for first with 30 games to go. It's a BIG money pool. I just want Minnesota to win.
Oh there's Murray again. 2 yards.
It is amazing the difference between a team with a good QB and a team with a bad QB (not just a Packers comment). And then when you factor in what teams DON’T offer in trades it’s amazing.
Murray gets the ball. 0 yards.
This is really tremendous. I'm glad I sat McKinnon but it's still making me lose my mind.

Ball must be very difficult to catch when it's this cold. Or Hundley isn't very accurate, Or his receivers are terrible.
OTOH, the Vikings defense is pretty good.

Hundley isn't good but GB dropped a lot of passes. The deep passes from both sides today have been horrendously off. Just awful long passing from the jump.
I was trying to be even handed. Pack receivers have dropped at least 5 easy ones.
They’re on pace to host the Rams in the Divisional Round, and I’m not sure I’d even have them as favorites for that one.
Nothing against Minnesota, I just think the talent between the playoff teams will be so close it’s basically a crapshoot.
Between the Vikings, the Saints, a Foles-led Iggles, and the Rams (who i think are actually the best team), I hardly know who to favor right now. Those 4 NFC teams are all over +100 point differential; the AFC has two (Pats & Jags, with Baltimore close).
Minnesota beat the Saints (week 1), lost to Pittsburgh (week 2), beat Baltimore (week 7), thumped the Rams (week 11), edged the Falcons (week 13) but lost to Carolina (week 14). They're certainly contenders and can beat other contenders, but I'm hard pressed to call anyone the favorite. They'll have a bye, though, unless they somehow lose to the John Fox Walking Dead.
Feels like neither QB was accounting for the slippery field when figuring out how long to throw the ball on those deep passes - all night long, the receivers of both teams couldn't catch up to them.
Nope - this is gonna be it. I'm normally pretty level-headed about refereeing, but this has been one of the most egregiously one-sided refereeing performances I've ever seen. Plus the Falcons have suffered the luckiest interception against them I've ever seen, they've had horrific fumble luck, and the one piece of luck they had (deflected interception to Deion Jones off of Ginn's hands) was cancelled out by one of those goal-line fumbles. Effing ridiculous. I'm remaining professional on the air, but I'm absolutely seething.
It's getting worse, somehow. Even independent of the refereeing, which I really can't believe, I don't think the Falcons deserve to win this game - they really aren't well coached (bad time and timeout management, bad special teams apart from Matt Bryant, so many mistakes and stupid penalties, bad offensive scheming) and aren't getting anything like as much as they should out of all the talent they have, particularly on offense.
Are they sold out of crab legs in the Charlotte winn-dixies/publixes? What is Jameisnot angry at?
Son of a bitch, I thought this was a 1:25 game. Watching a good Rams Titans game and missed jimmy’s drive.
Looks like Falcons/Panthers will get flexed to Sunday night.
Tennessee can still grab a wild card by beating the Jags.
