Big A HG Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 This is amusing. (a bit like watching the Gophers self-destruct in hockey) Quote

Big A HG Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 In my late-night TV watchings, I came across one of those hour-long infomercials to buy/collect the new Presidential dollar coins. One of the hosts looked identical to Chilly, and I thought to myself, "well, that was quick, he's already got a new job!" Quote

Smoggy Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Tomorrow's game against the Giants has been postponed to Monday. That's because Giants are stuck in Kansas City I believe. Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 That's because Giants are stuck in Kansas City I believe. Yepp. And also because they're having issues with too much snow on the roof at the dome. Quote
Big A HG Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Time to pack the bags and move to LA along with the Lakers. Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 The roof on the Metrodome collapsed around 5am today. This just keeps getting more interesting... Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 The roof on the Metrodome collapsed around 5am today. This just keeps getting more interesting... The game has now been moved to Detriot via ESPN reports 1 Quote
greenwinger_13 Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 The blizzard was a conspiracy theory to allow Brett more time to prepare his shoulder... he's a weather terrorist at heart. Quote

Big A HG Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 NFC North Final Standings: 1) Chicago 2) Green Bay 3) Detroit 4) Minnesota Wasn't the way I hoped the regular season would turn out for my Packers, but they're in the playoffs, so that means there's a chance. Gophers hockey fell from its high horse...as did the Vikings. Twins next? Quote
Oxbow6 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Wasn't the way I hoped the regular season would turn out for my Packers, but they're in the playoffs, so that means there's a chance. Gophers hockey fell from its high horse...as did the Vikings. Twins next? Packer's playoffs started last week vs NYG...4 more wins to go. GO PACK GO! Side note...tough to see Favre finish his career as he did. Still will go down IMO as one of the top 5 QBs of all-time. Quote

Gophers hockey fell from its high horse...as did the Vikings. Twins next? Not the way I saw the division shaking out, I had it GB, Minnesota, Chicago, Detroit...what a crazy year. Vikings didn't really do GB any favors beating Philly, I liked GB a lot more at Chicago than at Philly. Still that should be the best game of the Wild Card round, if Matthews and Company can blitz and pressure Vick like the Vikes did they could sneak one out. High-stress 3 hours coming up for Big A and Oxbow. Not too worried about the Twins, they're the one Minnesota team who knows what they're doing. Quote

High-stress 3 hours coming up for Big A and Oxbow. No doubt... My wife and 2 daughters are staying in MSP tonight due to bad roads on I-94 so it was just me watching the game today alone. Gona have to tone it down with the fam back for the Philly game!! GB D strength is their ability to pressure the QB and play good to great pass coverage. I like GB's chances next Sunday @ 4pm. ARog won't play like he did today. If he plays like he did last week vs. NYG, it's lights out for Philly. Quote

I was starting to wonder if they were going to piss it away, when they had to settle for the FG after that goofy fake sneak/lateral that lost 3 or 4 yards at the one I started wondering if Chicago was gonna slop out a win on a fluke play or a long field goal for the 6-3 win.

The fake sneak wasn't a bad call, it was just poorly executed. Jackson would have walked into the end zone if he would have had a ball he could catch clean. Doesn't matter anymore in hindsight, but you're right, it could have been a tough play to swallow had they lost. I think the play call before that was dumber. They just completely loaded up the center of the field the play the handed it to Kuhn. This also means that the Bears loaded up the box. It's just too many bodies, in my opinion, and doesn't create any opportunities for the runner to find a hole, even if the blocking is decent. Quote
soohockey15 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 So now that we've seen how the Vikings suck without Brett just as badly as they do with him, I think it is time to stop blaming him for the horrible season. Sorry to see his career end this way. Wish they had won it all last year so he could have gone out on top, but all those fumbles in the NFC Championship game were too much to overcome. I guess the way I see it, he may have sucked at age 41 but he was still very good at age 40. Most QBs are done by 37-38 or so. I can't think of another one that was still good at 40, so all things considered I don't buy into this garbge about "tarnished legacy". Five years from now he'll be giving his indiction speech at Canton. I think QB play in general was the reason for their terrible year. Since Favre started 14 of the 16 games, you can pin a lot of it on Favre. The Vikings have a better team (without factoring in QBs) than, say, the Colts but Manning is one of the best QBs in the league. The Vikings had a top-10 defense and a top-10 running game. Not really sure how you can say how it isn't mostly Favre's fault. Webb was pretty bad today. Quote
