Will the Vikings main rival...

Post by salamander »

...be able to keep a lead on the NFC North? Lions look tough this year.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

They will lose in Sunday.

Vikings need to win and make this a game difference.

I agree, this is the week to do it.

The two games against the Lions in the last three weeks of the season should be the deciding factor of who wins the division. Wouldn't want it any other way! SKOL

Lions will not lose to the chargers. And the last 3 weeks will not matter. They will have the North wrapped up by then.

Love Viking fans. They go from " Tank mode" with Cousins having a great year to " Playoffs Homeboy" with an unproven turnover machine who happened to pull 1 game out of his ass.

Because we look at the win/loss column to determine the state of things. IT changed when they beat the niners. A loss there and it was sock folding time. IN fact, any loss from that time could swing which way to go. As long as they are actually in a wildcard spot, you play for it. Now after winning 4 in a row and the competition basically sucking, they have a game buffer for that wildcard. Amazing reversal swing wouldnt you type? They lose a couple games in a row and it goes back to planning the offseason. It's not rocket surgery.

The best line came from Beef. He has never seen a team so prepared!
So they prepared by not practicing with dobbs????

This whole season has been stomach-turning for them. You can see the angst developing as more of the season unfolds. From "What, no NFC North standings thread?" to "Look, they're all excited now, let me call them out."

Now, any moment of excitement by Vikings fans and you get this type of bullshit. Sellingguy really went off his rocker in the main thread as well. It really is enjoyable to watch.

There's only one team to practice with, dummy. So you give it to your starter to get as many reps in one week as he can. They prepared Dobbs on the side with study, basically. That's all they had time for. Dobbs said going in that he could perform any of the card called plays - that's without any actual reps. Worked out well enough, wouldnt you say?

I hope the Vikes do make the playoffs. The season ending loss will be much more delicious! I've watched the NFL for 58 years. One thing I learned is it's almost more enjoyable when you team sucks ass. No Pressure! No hand wringing. No angst. No what if's! Just sit back and enjoy a game. When your team wins, Cool! When it blows you think who can we get to get better ? Who can we get as a coach? Freshen's things up when things get stale. I've seen my team play in 5 Super Bowls winning 4. If the Packers never win another before I'm gone I'm good with it.

Old enough to remember:

Ray Scott and Paul Christman doing CBS Packers Rams games. Starr VS. Gabriel

Jack Whittaker doing the morning NFL preview.

Bills/ Oillers AFC Championship

Tommy Nobis,Butkus and Nitschke on the cover of Sport magazine

The Steelers being really bad

We all knew this moment was coming, and it is a little earlier in the season than usual. That last refuge for a Packer fan with no recourse is to point out that he saw his team win a Superbowl. Not last year, or the year before, but over a decade ago, and during the Bill Clinton administration, and when they wore leather helmets.

Can you imagine a Twins fan saying to a Brewers fan "At least I saw my team win one back in the 80's."

It's not a big deal, brother. I do hope your bit evolves into something useful here. So far, not so good. We have had a deluge of psycho stalkers and oxygen thieves pop up here the past few years, so anything new is refreshing.

However, check your own first if you'll call out another poster for their "stupid posts" or make fun of their sentence structure. Run it through Grammarly or something. It makes you look really dumb and conveys the appearance of a standard, uneducated Packer fan. Aim higher.

That’s a great offer! Please know that the crustiness has gotten way better with the new cream I’ve been using. Also, if we’re gonna be friends, no sleepovers that would include oftsnides 97…his damn CPAP machine makes a terribly loud noise. Also, there’s his bed wetting issue.
