WHO WILL YOU CHEER FOR ... THE VIKES....OR PATRIOTS....in the INEVITABLE UPCOMING SUPER BOWL ??

[Bretsky]

The Stages seem set for a Super Bowl of two of the most hated teams in Packerrat History

IF they meet, will you cheer for Hoody Genius and the Patriots or the Vikings ??

[Bretsky]

Feel free to add your comments of sickness...hatred...about your thoughts of watching this while our Packers sit at home watching

[Bossman641]

I'll cheer for a blizzard to cave in the roof the day before the super bowl

[wist43]

Vikings

[BZnDallas]

I'll cheer for a blizzard to cave in the roof the day before the super bowl

This works for me

[texaspackerbacker]

I don't expect to even watch. I kinda like Bossman's idea, though.

[esoxx]

I'll cheer for a blizzard to cave in the roof the day of the Super Bowl.

Perhaps in the 3rd quarter.

[call_me_ishmael]

Patriots. Would love to see them get a 3-peat.

[mraynrand]

I don't see the inevitability of this Superbowl matchup.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I live in Minnesota, so I'll be cheering for the Eagles.

[MadScientist]

I'll root for a power failure forcing the game to be a 0-0 tie.

[smuggler]

Between the two, the Vikes. I'm hoping for a Jags upset to prevent a Brady visit to the SB

[ThunderDan]

I hate both teams. I hate the Pats a little more. I will be cheering for the Vikings eventhough it will damage my soul.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Go Pats go!

Belichick has already debunked (time and time again) the game theory of "Draft and Develop", but he would debunk it even more with another Super Bowl victory. Clearly, "Belichickism" is superior, especially with an elite QB.

Only difference is this year I'm gonna watch the Super Bowl. Last two SBs, I was too doleful to watch anymore NFL after the Packers' doleful playoff losses.

[pbmax]

Where is the option for watching for the ads?

[Pugger]

Why is everyone so positive MN is going to beat Philly? The Eagles defense is much better than the Saints'.

[pbmax]

So how did his teammates let TJ Watt down yesterday Bretsky? :lol:

Shhhh....Don't tell anyone that the Jags exploited the absence of Shazier. GreatTeams™ win championships even with starters missing.

[Guiness]

+1 that's how I feel as well

Seems inevitable NE makes is over the no respect Jags. But I'm not so sure their opponent will be Minnesota. I think their chances took a hit when the Eagles won. Foles is looking ok out there.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Shhhh....Don't tell anyone that the Jags exploited the absence of Shazier. GreatTeams™ win championships even with starters missing.

I missed that game, but did Fournette run wild on the Steel-Crew?

I recall a few Packerrats saying fuck Fournette. Draft Cook, a fellow with a history of abusing beytches, both women and dogs (according to Wiki). I was like, Fournette's gonna be the next Adrian Peterson, yo!

The Packers were in the running for Fournette at one point last season. But then they ran the table.

[denverYooper]

I would cheer for a close game.

[Vincenzo]

Vikings for sure!
As much as the Vikes are a fierce rival of the Packers, I keep in mind that they are representing our division and played pretty decent football this season.
They were flat out better than the Packers and fully deserved the NFC’s #2 seed.

Go Vikings, I hope they win it all.

[denverYooper]

[Freak Out]

I'm not cheering for any team now. That said I have a few long suffering Viking friends and family members that would be so very happy if the Vikes won. So that would be nice for them. I don't think the Vikes are getting past the Eagles though.

[George Cumby]

I'm cheering for Jacksonville.

[pbmax]

Is it fair to root for a huge controversy? Maybe a power outage?

[Rastak]

I have a fairly good idea of who I'll be cheering for......ASSUMING next week works out.

[Bretsky]

Why is everyone so positive MN is going to beat Philly? The Eagles defense is much better than the Saints'.


NOT POSITIVE AT ALL; BUT I WANT THE VIKES TO WIN

They are the better team and will give NE the best game

[Bretsky]

So how did his teammates let TJ Watt down yesterday Bretsky? :lol:

What brought this on ?

The captain obvious bitterness knowing ThanksTed once again neglected OLB for more 1st/2nd round CB's ????

[Bretsky]

go Hoody Genius !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RashanGary]

Vikings.

[RashanGary]

Would you eat hoodie geniuses ass if he let you, bretsky?

[Cheesehead Craig]

I live in Minnesota, so I'll be cheering for the Eagles.

Word.

It'd be pretty easy to throw this one right back at ya but I won't go there

[mraynrand]

I'm cheering for Jacksonville.

yup. And a cure for rosacea.

[Joemailman]

Since thePackers will never get to host a Superb Owl that they're playing in , I don't want any other team nfl team to be allowed to do it either.

[wist43]

I'm cheering for Jacksonville.

Yes, jax...

Of the 4 left, jax is my 1st choice. If it comes down to NE vs Minn... I'll take minnesota.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

For those of you who voted for the queens, have you forgotten that it wasn't many a blue moon ago that a wicked fiend named Barr ended the Packers season with a barbarous hit?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If NE is the Queens enemy, logic says that Packer fans outta root for the fucking Pats.

[3irty1]

To those who imagine any scenario where they are well-wishing the Minnesota Vikings during a superbowl,

I implore you to reconsider. This is the the team that usurped the division on one play this year. This is the franchised that reared a generation of fans on pink randy moss jerseys. They are our rival in the sense that Elmer Fudd is a rival to Bugs Bunny. Its not even a question of whether to support the Vikings in a superbowl. As fans of the franchise with the most championships in the league, nobody has more to lose by a Vikings superbowl win than us. Let me think of an analogy quick.

Let's imagine you're a world class chef. You've dedicated your life to the pursuit of mastering your craft and pursuing your industry's highest accolades. You've held three Michelin stars longer than any other restaurant in the world. Then this year, a drunk hot dog vender crashes their cart through one of your windows and a sterno ignites the drapery burning the place to the ground. When the year's Michelin guide comes out you see the hot dog vender was awarded a star. Not only were your ambitions derailed for this year, now you have an existential crisis. If a hot dog vender can get a Michelin star what does that say about your life's work? Michelin stars are cheapened to the point of worthlessness now. The world is a lie. All roads forward lead to nihilism.

Sure its annoying to imagine the cadre of smug bastards known as the Patriots waltz their way to another easy Lombardi, but what is one more superbowl to the Patriots really? Actually you can quantify it. That reality is 20% worse. Being skidmarks on the underpants of the NFL, the Vikings rightfully have zero superbowls. One more than zero is incalculably worse in proportional terms. Another word for a reality that is incalculably worse is hell. You're cheering for a theoretical hell. I invite you to rescind your tragically misplaced votes at this time.

No offense to Rastak but I know more than a few insufferable Vikings fans. It is remarkable how arrogant they have been this season knowing full well their player knocked our best player out and ruined our season. I'll hold my nose and cheer for the damn Patriots before I'll ever cheer for the queens. You can be sure they didn't root us on in 2010.

Just read the Vikings players are complaining about a hit where the officials picked up a flag. I didn't watch the game, but it sounds like a full helping of hypocrisy.

They're blaming Michael Thomas for being too rough on their poor DBs.

[Teamcheez1]

Early in the season, when Sam Bradford (and Dalvin Cook) was injured, I told the only Vikings fan that I communicate with, that I don't wish for any player to get hurt in the league.

When Rodgers was hurt, he stated the exact opposite, that he was glad Rodgers was out.

Go Eagles!!!

same here. I can be happy for good Vikings fans but I will never back the Vikings to win, except perhaps against a more evil foe. Best of luck to former Green Pay Packer QB Doug Pederson!

[gbgary]

still thinking...

[ZachMN]

I disagree with the premise that I have to cheer for either. However I would never cheer for the 'queens under any circumstance and have seen more than a few alleged "Packer' fans now on social media who are either wearing Purple gear or claiming to root for them under the circumstances. I say stay away from the Packer fan base for good as I don't want you back. And to the point someone made about the injuries and or non calls from the Saints game? I had to laugh at the hypocrisy of the 'queens radio 'analyst' (who was clapping after Rodgers injury) bemoan the hit the number one cheap shot artist Sendejo took. When asked about it he said it was technically legal but.......so the double standard is always on display with that fan base and their apologists. They don't deserve anything as far as I'm concerned. I've attended many games here in Mpls. and Lambeau and I laugh every time the local media pundits try to make the fan base at Lambeau out to be a bunch of drunks. Let me say for the record the fans at Lambeau can out drink the 'Sota tribe and know how to act. Specifically the female variant. I have witnessed the most immature behavior in front of children many times at Metrodome especially from the females. Lambeau, mature crowd, I'm sure they have their moments but trust me nothing like I have had to witness and endure here in Mpls. In fact there was a caller who said some locals got the boot for harassing some Saints fans Sunday. Yeah yeah every city has them, Not like the 'queen contingent. I am born and raised in Minneapolis and have seen and received it for over forty years.

[mraynrand]

Great post, Zach

[Fosco33]

I'd be fine with Jags/Eagles. Or Jags/vikes. Or Pats/Eagles. Just please don't ask me to choose between my least favorite teams in either conference.

Would you like a vasectomy or a colonoscopy?

Yankees or Cubs?

Trump or Hillary?

Its not Cubs or Cleveland level yet, but they are working on it. One huge difference is that the Vikings franchise have been very competitive and very good several times in their history. They aren't incompetent nor are they lovable losers. Just snakebit. I don't think they need our help.

For reasons I cannot fathom, my favorite Viking was probably Anthony Carter. The NFL should have let him wear his #1. After that it was Alan Page.

That Wagner piece is a nice read.


Still more rare, though, is the team that doesn’t simply disappoint its fans, but does so in a thematically consistent manner. For the Minnesota Vikings, this means being betrayed by their greatest strength at their moments of greatest need — Napoleon blundering at Waterloo or Wolverine’s adamantium-laced skeleton turned against him by Magneto.

Moss was the greatest WR I've ever seen catch a rock. Jerry Rice was great but he put up his numbers via hard work and fundamentals, not that there's anything wrong with that. Moss, in his prime, was Superman.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, I guess. I bet Bretsky's favorite Queen was Brooks Bollinger.

This doesn't happen, pb. Not in my experience. I guarantee you that most Vikings fans have already said "well, it was bound to happen sooner or later" and have moved on.

The worst part for the Vikes fans is that all the stuff here that's in their faces about the Super Bowl and to get that close to being in it, it's a constant reminder for the next 2 weeks. Plus the Iggles fans will be coming to town in about a week or so, that's going to be awkward as well.

That is 90% of the 'queen fans. Started to see their gear out and about when Rodgers went down. Then the FB posts went through the roof as they were assured a playoff spot then a bye. Now I pissed a shit ton of them off after last night by simply telling the truth. F Them if they can talk shit and can't take it or if they can't accept reality that their HC got worked.

I've never see anything like this Cleveland sports bar where the browns and steelers fans just yell at each other all game long (this was more exciting in the early 2000s when Cleveland actually could win a game). Everything that went wrong for each team was loudly cheered by the opposition. When they played each other it was absolute pandemonium and sometimes fights broke out. The bouncers didn't stop the fights, just directed 'em out the door and let the cops deal with it (But they didn't call the cops so most often they didn't show). Often guys would return bloody, order some more drinks and just pick up where they left off.

He then gets in a knock down drag out brawl with some local masons who mocked him for bettin his last sestertius on the clearly over the hill Tiberius Rex. They knock one another bloody in the alley outside and then stagger in for another amphora of cheap wine.

If they get down 25 points in the 4th quarter again, maybe. Just to root for chaos.

Otherwise, nope.

Philadelphia #Eagles OL ranked 29th in pressure rate allowed according to @SportsInfo_SIS. Also 22nd in adjusted line yards, 12th in adjusted sack rate. I have a hard time squaring those stats with idea Eagles had NFL’s best OL this year. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol


Again, terrible year to lose Rodgers when everything was there for the taking. Eagles beat the Vikes D like a drum with a mediocre line.

Maybe, but something almost always goes awry.

I was impressed that the Eagles kinda beat Minnesota like the Packers beat ATL in 2010. They just went ballin' all out. Can't throw downfield against the Vikings? Hell yes we can. Can't sustain long drives? Just watch us. They just made all their plays.

Favre does the full Favre for the Eagles. He's not exactly wrong, but he might want to watch last years Super Bowl again.

“They’re a tremendous team,” Favre said of the Patriots, via NBC Sports Philadelphia’s John Clark. “Their quarterback is the greatest to ever play, Bill Belichick is the greatest coach to ever coach. You know what they’re about. They’re going to play the whole game. Don’t ever say . . . like last year, we have it won and we’re going to go through the drive-thru, that’s not a good idea.”


Falcons spent way too much time in passing gear, giving the Patriots too much time and possessions in the process.

Of all the obstacles to the Packers next Super Bowl, the Patriots are the least of my worries.

Right. The Strength and Conditioning staff is the biggest obstacle to the Superb Owl for this team.
