2013 NFC North/NFL Thread

[Spotcheck Billy]

Jennings just shows how naive he was if that statement has any ring of truth to it.

When asked if the Vikings have championship qualities...
-------

"We do," Jennings told KFXN-FM, via FoxSportsNorth.com. "One of the things that obviously drew me to coming over here was the makeup of the team. When I came over here, I kind of had, I was kind of brainwashed. There's no 'kind of' to it. Being over in Green Bay, you're brainwashed to think that anyone in the division is just tiers below.

"So coming over here I meet the people within the organization and I'm like, 'Wow, these are really great people.' "

Skol Vikings!

I am disappointed in Jennings. I thought he was a great receiver and a class act. I didn't like him going to the queens, but I understood it.

He should just keep his mouth shut and play football, he is making himself look bad. I can't figure out if he has animosity or he is doing it because the Viking fans eat it up and he gets attention for it, probably some combination of both.

I have to wonder if the PR department eggs former Packers to say things like this to sell tickets.  Favre, Jennings, Sharper... etc.  All talk a bunch of trash as Vikings, but plenty of other players who go to different franchises really say nothing.

Obsession is never pretty.

I mean honestly...this is bordering on pathetic.

It's interesting. They seem to jump on almost every Packer re-tread as if to spite the Packers.  Not a good business plan for a successful NFL team. The Wilfs strike me as a little smarmy.

Isn't it a good thing to think of everyone else in your division as being inferior to you?

Remember when Lovie Smith said that his #1 goal was to beat the Packers? Well, everyone with a brain knew that was just rah-rah, PR-speak...yet there were a lot of brainless Bears fans who bought into it. In the same respect, I have a feeling that there are some brainless Vikings fans running out to buy #15 jerseys because Jennings is their new favorite player.

I don't know whether or not the people within the Packers organization actually take on the attitude of being tiers above the rest of the division or not, but if they do would they be wrong?  I mean, don't get me wrong, it's real cute that the Vikings have really nice people in the organization and all, but apparently nice people don't win you championships, as based upon the fact that the Vikings have never won a championship.  Maybe they need to start brainwashing their players.

Obsession is never pretty.

It has been beyond pathetic for a while now.

That would be the understatement of the year.

[Jay Bee]

Supposedly the team has told Jennings to pipe down about the Pack, but he keeps going. I understand.

It's sort of like when people are freed from some strange, twisted cult and then want to tell people about how bizarre their experience was.

I'd rather have Jennings talking smack about Green Bay than Kluwe going on his non-football related whine-sessions.

The Wilfs flat out tax my pockets.

I agree. His comments don't make much sense to me. If that is the culture they have successfully built for their team/organization, I don't see how that is anything but a positive.

It demonstrates a lack of basic respect. Fans talking crap about others, "you guys suck" is one thing... an organization preaching, "Detroit is a horrible franchise (true or not), screw them all the way to hell!" is another.

Bigger issue in football? Concussions, or the morality of the Packers?

Aww, JayBee's feelings hurt because his team is always playing 3rd fiddle to the Packers and Bears?  

Win something and then maybe the Packers won't have to feel so superior to everyone in the NFC North.

[MU B2002]

Wades, think you might want to rephrase that.

Haha. Whoops?

yeah you meant superior

Last 5 years (always judge based on 5 years) - NFC North Titles - 2 Minnesota Vikings, 2 gren bay, 1 chicgo
NFC North teams - total playoff berths since '66 - Minnesota tops.
NFL Championship winners - Minnesota 1, green bey 1

We've been winning. SKOL VIKINGS!

Haha you're all over the place.  Congrats on the NFC North Championships.  Little franchises that don't win Super Bowls seem to love those things.  The Packers love taking the 6 seed and winning the Super Bowl.

You judge things by the last 5 years, unless it doesn't fit your agenda, and then we'll go back to 1966 haha.  Nicely done.

1-1 in NFL Championships?  Early start to your Friday night, hey?

[MU B2002]

When did the vikings win the nfc championship and make it to the superbowl in the last 5 years?  Did the Saints have a win vacated and I missed it.

[Jay Bee]

Bro are u guyz even an owner?

Nope.

Cutler picked off on his first pass of the preseason.

Shoulda been sent packing with Lovie and Urlacher.

[MU B2002]

Haters gonna hate.

Its the preseason, let me quote Jay for you...  " Don't care."

[wadesworld]

Christian Ponder also with a pick in his first series.  Dead arm.  But hey, Greg Jennings is there now and they have some really great people in the organization!  All Packers are jerks because they have the mindset that they are good.

[Sunbelt15]

You don't care when your Starting QB throws a INT? Preseason or not. Sounds like you're cool playing second fiddle to Green Bay.

Um....do you care that GB was shutout in their preseason opener?  Probably not. Cutler finished 6-7 on the rest of his throws with 2 of his starting WR sitting out. (Marshall and Bennett)

It's a new offense and the first play of preseason...but thanks for the concern.
