NFC North/NFL Thread 2016-17

Mac's the and the Vike's D are only thing that can keep the Packers down. Problem is, he often does.

FIFY

If Mac called the Vikings game like he called the first half of today's game the Packers win by 2 touchdowns.

[wadesworld]

The Bolts are the AFC's version of the Lions. They just know how to lose.

[GooooMarquette]

Lately, the Packers seem to get their best playoff runs when they start the season slowly (2010, 2012, 2014).  Lately, the Vikings seem to get their best playoff runs, well...never.

If the Lion's D had 1/3 of the talent (on field or making play calls) as the Vike's this game would've gone into OT. 

Bonus response:  3-0 with a W vs. GB provides the platform for "woulda, shoulda, coulda" to any "if" post.



The only reason i'm antagonizing you on this is that vocal Pack fans fail to acknowledge that there is a pretty damn good team coming of age in the same division.  Will it end horribly for us?  yes (a Walsh miss is too obvious/nice for us.  I'm thinking a Diggs' pre end zone celebration penalty for the go ahead TD in the NFC champ game would be apropos), but that doesn't mean GB is considered the best team in the division this year, next year.......or last year. 

Times they are a changing.

Oh how cute. A Vikings fan is feeling good about his team. Very precious.

Who said you aren't a good team?  Lol.  Sensitive much?

It took a horribly thrown ball and the worst performance of an Hall of Fame quarterback's career, combined with a brutally horrendous game plan, for your awesome, outstanding, exciting, young, new, coming of age team to get a home win by a field goal in the opening of your shiny new toy.  Congratulations.  You held serve at home.

Nothing is changing.  If your awesome, outstanding, exciting, young, new, coming of age team actually wins something for a change then we can talk about the changing times.  Until then, the Packers will continue to be the last NFC North team standing.

But damn, I really wish I could have that 2010 NFC North Title instead of the Super Bowl!

Breathe. In, out.

It's only football. 

[naginiF]

OKAY........we're a bit invested in our NFL team and i clearly underestimated the passion there. 

Aside from poking y'all (clearly effective) my point is that perhaps we should look at the present product, and it's trajectory, not solely at history.

[GGGG]

Teams ebb and flow.  (Except the Lions.)  In the last six years, three teams have won the NFC North.  Life goes on.

How many Packer fans does it take to change a lightbulb?

3. One to change the bulb, and two to talk about How good the old one was.

Insert joke here about Vikings trophy case. 

[Jay Bee]

Embarrassing, Bears

Thankful our Vikings keep the NFC North afloat

What do a wrecked car and a Vikings fan have in common?

Neither have a title.

Terrell Pryor played wide receiver, quarterback, and safety today...

Yay! His team is also 0-3

[DegenerateDish]

I don't know about you guys, but man am I excited for the draft.

 

[wadesworld]

Not sure where I ever said they weren't? Apologies in advance if I did.

[mu_hilltopper]

Minnesota native here .. 3-0 start?   Defense is good, offense is good enough? 

Yeah, we've seen that movie before.  We know how it ends. 

[DegenerateDish]

I love Al Michaels.

Ryan Fitzpatrick: 20-44, 0 TD, 6 INTs.  KC D 6 picks, 2 fumble recoveries, 2 touchdowns, 3 points allowed.  Whoever had them in fantasy had a nice weekend.

He's still better than Mark Sanchez.  But it sure looked like he was paid off to throw that game yesterday.  They dropped at least one more that could have been an INT.

Wade, as much as it's easy to say that we only lost by 3 points, the reality is that we were several lucky bounces away from losing by 21. This team is plenty good enough to beat MIN, but hypotheticals in that game lean more heavily in favor of a MIN blowout than a GB one.

It's a real bummer the draft isn't in Chicago this year.

Exactly...and if not for a highly questionable 66-yard PI call yesterday, GB may well have lost to the Lions. And if the Bears had more than 2-3 NFL caliber players they could be undefeated 

You can do that type of thing all day.
