YESSAAAAH!

Skol Vikings! Still time to jump on the bandwagon, boys. Can't wait to beat Green Bey Sunday!!!!!

Packers win, Vikings go home.  Packers go 2 full seasons (plus the end of the 2010 season) without losing a single game in the division.

This game would have the hallmarks of a Brett Favre 4 INT performance if he were still in green and gold.  I feel better about it with Rodgers at the helm.  Just need to sustain through the early emotional rocket that the Vikings will be on.

Just rush the ball at Jared Allen all game because he could be the worst rush defensive lineman in the league.  Just watch.

None of it will even matter once the 49ers beat the Cardinals, right?  For the Bears, I mean.

Vikings win and they're in. Bears loss and the Vikings are in. Bears win and Vikings lose, Bears are in. I don't think anything else matters for the 6th playoff spot (unless the Bears and Vikings both lose, then something weird may happen)

Giants can get the 6th spot with Vikings, Bears and Cowboys losses.

Vikings lose and they need the Bears, Giants and Cowboys to lose to get the 6th seed.

As a Bears' fan, I hope Lovie sent packing either way.

Though, I wouldn't be afraid of playing the Falcons in round 1. Turner is stoppable and Ryan has some awful games.

As a Packer fan, I hope he stays. 3 playoff wins in 9 years is s c a r y !

[NavinRJohnson]

Short of a Super Bowl Appearance, which isn't going to happen, I don't see any scenario where Love Smith is back with the Bears.

[ATWizJr]

Isn't there some way we can screw 'em both?  How about a tie?

And he needs to take his WR coach with him.

You mean the one who taught Brandon Marshall everything he knows?

Darryl Drake has been with the Bears since 2004.  Prior to this season he has no connection to Marshall.

The guy who turned devin Hester into a #1 receiver.

[MU B2002]

And about when did Mushin Muhammad say that "Chicago was a place where WRs go to die."?


Found the answer, Aug 12, 2008.  About halfway through Drake's tenure.

Sorry I didn't think I needed teal.  Drake is a complete joke as a coach.

Bad GB rush defense vs. AD and Vike's o line= headache today.

[Blackhat]

Bears still suck.   Losing is Almost worth it.   


Good late season pickup by TT with that Harris RB.  Kid is running hungry.

Need to get somewhat lucky and create to's during the playoffs to make a good run.   SF is favorite, imo.

Damn Capers going into a soft zone was pathetic on that 3rd and long.....

That was the game. Yes, Hayward made a mistake. But they changed into that soft crap at the line.

F*cking gutless wonder. Have to pressure Ponder, especially with Peterson off the field there.

[Blackhat]

Yeah that was bad, some on Hayward.   Don't know you can blame one play though, not giving up 200 yds to AD would have been beneficial.   You pointing out my mistake last week made me realize how bad our run defense has been, now I have to worry about that every week.    

Think we're a lot closer to our 2010 d though.   Hopefully we can create some more to's going forward.

SKOL VIKINGS we are the best!!!

More sadness will be delivered to Green Bey fans next weekend!

Sadness? Any day the Bears are knocked out of the Playoffs is a good one!

[LON]

Tramon's penalty was more frustrating than Hayward blowing the coverage.

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

Peterson's numbers against the Pack:

55 carries for 409 yards.

Wow.

The Pack will be favorites next week, but if it's windy and cold, the Vikes will have a shot running the ball and playing defense.

Also, Ponder still thoroughly confuses me. Looks so great on some throws, looks brutal on others. I guess that's the mark of a below average QB.

I'd like to say that he's "developing", but I'm not sure he has the accuracy.

Efficient game today, so that's hopeful.
