Or she could have put the wrong comment in the box, but I think she was commenting on the game being so damned boring that she would be watching the Steelers? That is my bet. FYI I took the Packers to the Raiders in Madden 2k5. 98-0. I then took the Packers to the Bills, 118-6 (missed extra point). Favre had a combined 1500 passing yards in those games.

Screw you guys, I have to go snow blower shopping tonight. Incidentally, is "Snow Blower" a regional thing, because everyone else (especially businesses) seems to call them "Snow Throwers."		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

Who's everyone else? I always thought they were called snow blowers. "Snow Thrower" sounds more like the person in your snow ball fighting squad who has the best arm. Tell that to the next person that tries to sell you a "snow thrower".		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

Well, from what I see, Jeremy did pick the Packers. My feeling with the Vikings right now is this: Which Vikings team with show up. Will it the team that got blown out by the Packers, or will it be the team that crushed the Giants and the Lions? I think we're more likely to see something closer to the former from here on out, which is why I really hope the Vikings don't make the playoffs. They are one of a few teams that I really would rather not have to face again. (that list probably includes the Giants as well).		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

The Packers game was a catalyst for some defensive changes the players have been bugging the coaches to make all season, so far so good on those. I forget the details, I think the gist was that the "Stand in our zones and watch the other team play catch 'Cover 2'" had to go. They've looked like a different team since then, not to mention T-Jack is playing better too.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 3 times.

Can someone tell me why if the playoffs started today the Cardinals would get in over the Vikings. The standings seem to say otherwise. Is it some lame 3-way-tie rule?		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

Going by this, since its a 3-way tie and the Vikings and Lions are in the same division, divisional tie-breakers apply first between them and the "winner" then goes to the tiebreak w/the Cardinals. Since the Lions and Vikings split, it goes to best winning percentage in division games, which the Lions have the advantage in.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

They've looked like a different team since then, not to mention T-Jack is playing better too. Whilst I don't doubt the validitity of your analysis, they've also played 2 home games against terrible and/or terrible on the road teams and also had Eli pretty much gift wrap and put a cherry on top of the other game. I'd just hate to see all the Vikings fans get their hopes up only to be dashed when they can't win on the road in Denver. Wait, forget I said anything, I'm sure the Vikings have been a juggernaut in disguise all year long. Actually I can see the Lions ending up 7-9 and the Vikings and Cardinals both going 8-8. Which might leave the door open for my mid-season pick of New Orleans to slide in at 8-8 as well. And I'm thinking the Saints will beat the Cardinals so they're out, and then the Saints will be 7-5 in conference and the Vikings will 6-6 so the Saints will get it. If I'm at all reading the tiebreaker logic correctly, which is a big if.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

Also, to complement my comments on the Vikings game I figured out the Packers Margin of Victory is 11.8 and Margin of loss is 8.5. Factoring out their best and worst you get 10.3 and 7 (the 7 is one remaining loss). So obviously it's meaningless, but the Vikings have won by more and lost by less, which doesn't seem like it could be right.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

ESPN agrees with Jeremy. I can't say I disagree though, to a certain extent. Again, it comes down to which Vikings team decides to show up. Because they have definitely been a very different team at different times in the season.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

	Jeremy - No one's gay for Moleman 12/07/2007 @ 09:08:09 AM
Well first off I wouldn't say ESPN "agrees with Jeremy" because Jeremy has just been passing along what ESPN has been saying about them, for the most part. I do think your whole "depends with team shows up" thing is a bit unfair, because as I showed up above the 0-34 game was the anomaly, outside of that their largest loss is 10 to the Cowboys, which came off a blocked filed goal. That Packer game was played against the 3rd string QB and had Adrian Peterson getting assassinated a little after halftime a week after he ran for 250 yards in the second half. It's not as if the Vikings either win by 20 or lose by 20, they've been winning big and barely losing all season, outside of that one game. Edit: I've been saying all season they would be a force to be reckoned with if they could even count on below average Quarterbacking and Jackson has stepped it up as of recent. If Jackson keeps it up they could do a lot of damage. Teams that can stop the run, and run at will, always have the potential to shake things up in the playoffs. Edit 2: Please to note, I personally am not making a case for the Vikings making a Superbowl run. The scope of this conversation is merely based on the question, "Would you be scared to play the Vikings in the post season?"		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

	jthompto 12/08/2007 @ 01:51:29 PM
It all comes down to this Jackson is the right type of Quarterback for this system. The Vikings are 6-2 when he starts and 0-4 when he doesn't start. The 2 starts he lost were the ovetime loss against Detroit where he was hurt in OT and Bollinger came in and turned the ball over giving the Lions good field position for a field goal and against the Cowboys where a blocked field goal and an AP fumble were the difference in the game. He isn't a superstar yet, but he seems to be doing all the right things when he is healthy. I think what the writers are saying, is out of the lower tier NFC teams (everyone except Dallas and Green Bay) the Vikings are the most likely to pull of an upset. Tampa Bay, Seattle, Detroit, Arizona, Washington, New Orleans, don't really scare me that much if I am a Cowboys or Packers fan. I agree the Vikings will not win the superbowl, but they do have a chance to make the playoffs and possibly win one game.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

The 2 starts he lost were the ovetime loss against Detroit where he was hurt in OT and Bollinger came in and turned the ball over giving the Lions good field position for a field goal and against the Cowboys where a blocked field goal and an AP fumble were the difference in the game. He isn't a superstar yet, but he seems to be doing all the right things when he is healthy It's not that I disagree with this statement, but Jackson did throw 4 interceptions in the Detroit game I think. So that seemed to be more a case of almost winning despite Jackson's play, even if he was arguably the better of the bad quarterbacks that day.

MATT...... ur ignorance i find distrubing.... the raiders will get whooped... i mean lets get real here.... lets be honest with urself.... u know the packers are going to win but maybe matt just wanted a little extra attention cause mommy didnt give him enough attention when he was a little boy. am i right=] Also, interesting note regarding the ludicrous nature of a pick for Oakland this week: The line is Oakland +10.5. The line in the Steelers game is Pittsburgh +10.5. Point spreads don't mean everything, but it's fun to note that a few people picked Pittsburgh, including, ....wait for it, Jfk10intex. Anyway, whatever "ur ignorance" means, I think it was mostly a comment drenched in homerism and overzealous sports banter and not serious questioning of someone's intellect, so none of this is a big deal, but I watched the lines this morning and thought it was good food for thought.

If we're going to make fun of anyone's picks I say we heckle those who picked the Dolphins. 0-16 is in reach, I think they're focused on their goal and will be able to pull it off. I mean, you'd have to be trying to be this bad, right?		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

When we were in Orlando we went to Disney's Boardwalk. They were holding the College Football Awards that night. We got there when all the players were leaving the awards. I was five feet away from Howie Long, who must've been a presenter. We also were by lots of players, but since I don't follow college football, I had no idea who they were. Still kind of cool though.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

I have a feeling that i will lose less than 2 games this week.... i probabaly will beat.....wait for it....Jon so before you make some snide remarks look at some statistics and watch espn for a little while and then come talk to me.... you got that buddy? btw... when matt picked the raiders he had absolutley no reason to pick them the raiders are playing in Green Bay...lets get real here the steelers have like a way better shot at being the pats then the raiders do at beating the packers....

When I made that pick I for some reason thought the 49ers defense was better than average, which I have since looked up and found out that's not really the case. But I'm not a flip-flopper so I'll stand by my pick.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Also I just wanted to point out that although the Vikings did beat up on an inferior team that this is exactly the kind of game they ALWAYS lost in years past. Everyone that needed to lose lost and they were playing a team they should have beat soundly, and did, that hasn't happened in a long long time.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

Everyone that needed to lose lost and they were playing a team they should have beat soundly, and did, that hasn't happened in a long long time. A great example of this is the 2003 season, in which the Vikings finished 9-7, missing the playoffs and division title by one game. In that season they lost to the chargers, raiders, cardinals and giants. Those teams ending up having the fist 4 picks in the next years draft and all finished worse than 4-12. And we all remember the 4 year stretch or so, when the Vikings failed to win a game outdoors!		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.
