the comments_popup_link() function will only work when used within the_loop; a ‘foreach’ loop using post Ids is not the same. you could try to build your own link, based on this function: get_comments_number( $id ).
In general I try to avoid custom SQL queries as much as i can and use the native WordPress functions but in some cases its much better/faster to use custom queries. if the case is just get a list of posts the you can use the WP_Query or get_posts which will work almost as fast … Read more
