Re: Vikings are still fine
Packers have:
@ Jets
Dallas
@ Minnesota
@ Atlanta
SF
@ Detriot
@ NE
Giants
Chicago
Assuming they lose 3 of the next 4, I think they finish the year 3-2 possibly 4-1. That puts them at 8-8 or 9-7. They have a big advantage right now as Minnesota is 1-2 in the division while the Pack are 2-1 and currently own the tie breaker. Assuming they lose at Minnesota and win at Detriot and home against Chicago, that will make them 4-2 in the North. That will make it VERY difficult for Minnesota to win the North.

Re: Vikings are still fine
I think it should be. As of today, there are 7 teams ahead of them in the Wild Card race.

Tavern-Vike?? I suppose you would say they don't ever actually lose despite what the scoreboard shows. Sometimes they beat themselves or get screwed

Re: Vikings are still fine
I honestly think the Vikings may be fine and still win the division too. The Bears are done after losing the last 2. They needed those to have any shot at the division. Packers are the team to beat right now, but Vikes have a favorable schedule left.

Re: Vikings are still fine
Why should you be surprised? When you have a game where the Vikings get a TD incorrectly overturned and where the Packers get away with one, and in the end, the margin of victory or defeat is that close, of course you'll have fans pointing to the mistakes/bad luck their team was on the wrong end of. Never mind the mistakes the Packers made.
The Vikings were terrible last night, and I'll point specifically to the Favre pick-6 as the reason we lost. Maybe it isn't fair, but when the other team wins by less than a TD margin, one has to think that a gift-wrapped TD might have been the difference.
Another thing I was upset about? Whoever it was that decided not to try and get something, anything out of the last minutes of the half was an idiot. It wasn't the offense, I can tell you that much. I think the whole unit was out there shaking their heads and holding up their hands in a "WTF are we doing?!" motion. After watching Iowa **** away an opportunity to score what likely would have been a game-clinching TD following a Badger interception inside the 30yd line with seemingly conservative play calling, I've had my fill of the whole "Don't play to win. Play not to lose." mentality.

Re: Vikings are still fine
I wouldn't be so sure about the O-Line. The Packers were playing with 3 active D-Lineman the entire game. Named Raji, C.J. Wilson, and Jarius Wynn. Besides Raji who is still really fresh, have you heard of the other two?

Re: Vikings are still fine
Agreed. Vikes have had some tough losses against some very good teams. The wild card now is Favre's health. If he can tough it out, I still have high hopes for the rest of the season.

Re: Vikings are still fine
Why do you think that if he can tough it out he'll magically do better? He's been pretty terrible this year.
Re: Vikings are still fine
You're misunderstanding my comment.
Tough it out meaning - he can stay healthy enough to play.
I'm not worried about his production. That will take care of itself as O-line continues to improve, Rice gets back into the lineup, and the schedule gets easier.

Sometimes it's more fun to just sit back and enjoy the show. Thanks guys!

Cowboys are still fine
People go a little overboard after losses. It was no secret that the beginning stretch of the Cowboys schedule was one of the toughest in the league. So why are people going to so crazy after this start?

Re: Cowboys are still fine
The Cowboys are fine? Really? Even with Romo, starting 1-5 is not good.:no: Kitna isn't terrible, but as sloppy as this game tonight is, I can't see Jerry as loving how the season is going. NFC sucks though, so 8-8 might get you to the playoffs. Great scoring of garbage points from sloppy Giants play, but giving up 41 isn't going to win many games.

Re: Cowboys are still fine
I see the sarcasm detector is offline. I thought after the the OP's post that it was implied but I should know better. I'm pretty sure nobody thinks that cowboys are fine. They are done this season. I'll try to remember to put the jimlad next time.
