2010-2011 NFC North Division

[🏀]

Oh boy... Favre has been upgraded from out to questionable.  If he plays, we are guaranteed victory.

I smell Favre's greatest game coming.

[willie warrior]

The game should be fun to watch. A third string QB starting--who has been mostly working out as a WR; Favre standing on the sidelines with his white stubble blending in with the snow; Vikings fans not being able to find their season ticket seats; an unprepared field; Cutler having a field day against the weak Viking secondary; many players freezing their asses off; close shots of the Viking cheerleaders with their cold nipples; and Jenn Sterger waiting for the outcome of her sexual harrassment claim against Favre while reminding all her fans that she has removed her breast implants (true), and letting everybody know that she is an artist because she posed nude for Playboy and Maxim (prior to Jets hiring her--what the hell were they thinking of?)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

[SaintPaulWarrior]

Vikings fans not being able to find their season ticket seats;
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

It is general admission seating in the lower and upper level depending on your tickets.

Not sure I buy this exactly, but the Favre thing certainly does add yet another strange twist to an already extremely strange game.

Favre active and starting

Adrian Peterson inactive

Makes sense...

Definitely don't buy that one.  

I'm very interested to see the crowd.  The folks that are there will be loud... but, there could be a crap load of empty seats with this weather.  The roads are bad right now (probably due to FIBs on our roads tonight).  Apparently U of Minn students will get free entrance at some point tonight...

PS - today, they used a shotgun to shoot a roof panel at the Metrodome... there are many people that would like their chance to shoot the Dome

(probably due to FIBs on our roads tonight).

That's always a huge problem.

Congratulations to the Chicago Bears for winning the 2010 NFC North Division Title.


Lucky SOBs.

This.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good though.

[NavinRJohnson]

I think its safe to say they are a little bit of both. Their luck certainly does seem to be much more good than bad this year, and they have been remarkably healthy (which is usually the key to a successful season in the NFL), but they have also improved, and played pretty well at times.

It continues to look to me like the Packers and Bears will meet one another on January 2 in GB and do it again on January 8/9 in Chicago (guessing that Arod will be back this week).

Who knows, but if Bears can "steal" one against the Jets and get the Eagles to lose once, they may find them selves #2 with a bye.  But of course that would mean a second round match up with NOL.

1) When people post 'this' .. I don't know where that is from, but it's questionable.. but

2) more importantly, like I said earlier, I think you were the only guy I made a bet with, mid-summer.. and I really don't recall what it was.. did you ever track it down?  If I owe you I should pay up... but you might have had the Packers... just don't recall the bet... let me know if I need to hit you with fifty

I did some searching, and though I remember making the bet, I can't find it for the life of me. If I'm being honest, I can't picture myself making the bet purely Packers vs. Vikings. I think my pride (read: homerism) would lead me to bet on a division championship. I'll give it one more look tonight, but otherwise we'll just call it square.

[TallTitan34]

Didn't someone bet the Twins, Vikings, and Gophers would all win their division/conference?

[MUSig54]

Wouldn't a game against the Saints be in Chicago though? I might have to take my chances with the Bears against the Saints in January in Chicago.

[jesmu84]

there is something so sweet about brett's last pass at soldier being an interception, and the last play of his career being a sack/injury (possible fumble?) to the bears. love it

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Jaybee, we bet a fifty spot that the bears would win the division over the queens and the fudge.  Pay up fool.

[muarmy81]

This.

It also helps to stay relatively healthy.


I'm a huge Bears fans but even I know that we aren't a great team but it doesn't mean I won't enjoy this.

Congratulations to the Chicago Bears for winning the 2010 NFC North Division Title.

Lucky SOBs.

They're lucky in that they are an incredibly healthy team.

But hand it to their offensive coaching staff for making adjustments mid-season.  They have protected Cutler better and ran the ball more.

[SaintPaulWarrior]

The roads are bad right now (probably due to FIBs on our roads tonight).

That is what you get for driving around North Minneapolis.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Still can't wait for the GB game. Love to watch football in cold weather

[MerrittsMustache]

Julius Peppers: "Yeah, I talked to [Favre] after the game. I told him it was an honor to play against him. He said, 'Likewise. ... Go beat the Packers in a couple of weeks.'"

Apparently #4 is not all bad

Congrats to the Bears.. Well earned!  Hope they represent in the playoffs (until they meet the Pack for the third time of course).
