As a Viking fan, yesterdays game was one of the top 5 games I've ever seen. I ran the full gamut of emotions throughout it, and was almost shaking by the end of it. AD=MVP EASY
I'm guessing ShadyJ and Muck would agree that it was an amazing game, even though the Packers came up on the short end. Should be a great round 3 next week.
Can't wait for SEA-WASH also. The two AFC wild-card games....meh.
As a Vikings fan I can understand you havent had alot to cheer for, for awhile.Quote:

If AP doesnt win the mvp it will be a robbery
Can Muck or any Packers fan explain to me what the fuck is up with McCarthy this year? First he has a pass back called on a return up 11 with 8 mins to go vs the Bears. Ok he fucked up it was a horrible call but the last 7-8 years or however long hes been here hes never done shit like that.We can let it slide
, but Then he throws a fuckin challenge flag on a turnover. I mean I laughed at how dumb Scwartz was for doing it then MM does it. WTF is going on every player knew the rule, but the coach doesnt? To many injuries this year will get crushed by SF in 2 weeks if they can find a way to tackle AP.
Yeah, well like in they say in poker, you remember the losses more than the wins. But I think its true with the Vikes though for the past 20 years or so. Their really good teams (1998, 2000, 2009) cruised through the regular seasons, locked up playoff spots early, and then suffered heartbreaking defeats. Off the top of my head, the last "underdog-big-win-in-a-playoff-game" (which this game basically was for the Vikings, since they were done if they lost) was 1987, I think, beating the 49'ers in the divisional round. I guess maybe in 2004 beating GB in Lambeau in the infamous Randy Moss mooning the fans game might qualify as well.Quote:

I still feel like this team has enough talent on paper to beat anyone in the AFC. Of course, I'm far more optimistic than most fans in this city. I'll hold out hope that they pull themselves together and play better in the postseason.
Agreed that was one of the games of the year. NFC wild card games should be much better than AFC.
My read for the Super Bowl is Green Bay vs. Denver.
I don't understand why MM throwing the flag didn't negate the review like it did with Schwartz. The explanation on TV was dumb--they had already buzzed for the review before MM threw the flag. What does that matter, the review is automatic on a turnover or a scoring play. I don't get the difference.Quote:

Im over my disapointment and I now think if Gb plays a perfect game like NYG did last year they could beat SF. That makes me a Seahawk fan this week because I think they have a better chance of beating ATL then Wash. Atl will roast teams without great secondarys plus RG3 being hurt. Setup a remact between Seattle and GB in GB for the NFC Championship. I'm dreaming I know.
The injuries on defense have really hurt the Texans this year. Still hard to fathom how piss poorly they played down the stretch.Quote:

NO ONE IS GOING TO BEAT PEYTON. MANNING IS GOD. BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONSHIPS

I cant think of even one solid reason to think Houston would win on the road, possibly in bad weather, over NE/Brady/Belicheck.Quote:

You could feasibly whiff the whole wildcard round.Quote:

All you hear about Is All Day, but Rodgers this year vs Minny
55/75 651 yds 5tds 1 int rating 116
Ponder vs GB
28/53 353 yds 4tds 2 ints rating 83.3
I understand that Minn has no run game so its all on Ponder....lol
This guy is awful could you imagine what a good qb would do with the best running back in the game and probably in history.
This is the healthiest GB has been since opening day. Minn does catch a little break Im 2 hrs from GB but its alot warmer today then the last few days.
GB 45 Minn 20
