Is it a stress fracture?  How did he get it?

[brandx]

The Joel Embiid of the NFL?

[JWags85]

This is clearly Cutler's fault

[RushmoreAcademy]

As a Bears fan I'm rooting for 2-14 ahead of the more probable 6-10.  Gonna need a whole lot more top 10 picks before anything changes.

Bears will win at least 6.

Vikings won't make the Playoffs.

Packers will lose to the Seahawks. Twice. Again.

The Lions being the Lions......

Packers go 13-3 and win the Super Bowl.  Last time I said that was 1996.

The last time I put money on the Pack to win the Super Bowl months before training camp they won the Super Bowl. I did that again this year so it's a good start.

I just think that even though we absolutely should've won the Super Bowl last year, I don't see Pete Carroll staying away from the spread option until 6 minutes left in the game ever again against the Packers. And I don't see the Packers ever stopping it with this coaching staff.

The NFL's most depressing teams 1-32.

As if we didn't already know the Bears defense was pathetic...

Vikes make playoffs. Book it.

I'm not saying your wrong about the Bears defense but even if Cutler put up Rodgers type numbers this year you would still find some way to criticize him.

Nope, don't think I would. But I feel *fairly* confident in saying we'll never find out, so maybe you're right. Or maybe not.

You need either a historically good defense or a top half quarterback to make it to the Playoffs when you aren't playing in a division like last year's NFC South.  I don't see either of those things in the Vikings.

Defense won't be historic but it's a good D. And Teddy is more than likely going to be a top 15 QB with AP. He completes a high % of passes and now has a running game, deep threat, and healthy play makers around him.

This team went 7-9 last year with no AP losing about 5 games that coulda went the other way(2 on bad calls), Teddy learning on the fly and key injuries.

Not calling them a sb contender but top 6 in NFC I feel safe betting on. We will see though!!!

I hope you're right, the Vikes still have an asswhuppin' coming from the "mooning" incident...although I thought it was funny and appropo considering the horsesh!t game the Pack played that day.

The Randy Moss mooning incident???

[Anti-Dentite]

Yeah, that game was an embarrassment and the moon was the cherry on top, 10 years later, I still want some restitution as it were.

Joe Buck is that you?

That celebration was nothing other than classic. I would find it hilarious if any player did it.

Idk why 10 years it still would piss you off lol. Especially since that win while it was great ultimately led to nothing for the vikes(as usual SMH).

[Anti-Dentite]

To be clear, I did think the moon was funny, what wasn't funny is that the Pack didn't even show up that day. Skol!

[wadesworld]

Nope.  A couple of those games in the post season (SF, NYG, that game) and a couple of heartbreakers (Seattle, Philli, the other NYG) and there have been some tough pills to swallow.  But I guess that'll happen when you're consistently in position to compete for a Super Bowl.  There will be a few awesome endings and a lot of tough endings.

[PGsHeroes32]

O ha! Yeah I gotcha!

I think it was more than made up for a couple years ago when you got to face the vikes led by Joe Webb in the playoffs lol

[naginiF]

I would've thought that Webb/Ponder embarrassment would've made up for it too. 

Funny though, as a Vikes fan I've always referred to it as the "straight cash, homey" game.

[wadesworld]

I don't think the Packers really have to do anything to "make up for" any game against the Vikings. The trophy cases of each tranchise (or lack thereof of one of the 2 franchises) says it all.

[wadesworld]

Jordy done for the year.

This is why you cannot choke away championships.
