Isn't it a tad early to annoint the conference champions seeing it isn't even Halloween? :roll:
Well the Packers are 2.5 out with a loss to the Vikes basically making it 3.5. Unless you think Chicago has a chance, I'm thinking MN takes it this year.Quote:

The Vikings need another season. They must improve on their secondary and game plan on offense to gain more time for the offense on the clock. That means runs and short passing. The quick strike will suck them down. Favre is playing outstanding ball and AP is a great RB but it won't ever be enough with that secondary. The Vikings are 6-0 and should make the playoffs but they need improvement on 'D'.
I see a real chance for the Packers to win a wild card in the NFC.
based on what? the OL will keep them out of the playoffs unless there is serious improvement.Quote:

At this point, we look to be in a mix with the 9ers, Bears, and Iggles for the second.
Football outsiders has us at just over 50/50 to get in.
Happy Bert Mitzva !
Bert is finally coming of age with only 1,1% of passes attempted being intercepted. Very impressive ! Never happened in BFs career before.
Actually better than Alan at this point.Quote:

And if they keep this up you'll have Favre next year too; maybe some offseason drama but it'll be worth it to you.
I've never bought into the he fades hard down the stretch theory...but this year will prove me wrong or right.
He's prone to bad games at the wrong time....and he's poor in terrible weather IMO.
But from my vantage point the Vikes are his perfect fit.
Who'd have thought five years ago this guy would be excelling in the Metrodome.
Go Figure
BF plays in a dome now & Vikes has a super shot at being top seed in NFC with playoffs in dome. Saints play in a dome too...NY is another matter though. SB is in sunny Miami...yet it rained in last SB at Miami.Quote:

First game, it was snowing pretty good, and most consider that some sloppy football weather. What did #4 do? Have one of the single best playoff games of his career. He tore them apart, and and had another one of those under handed while be dragged down passes for some key yards that we hadn't seen in a long time.
Then the next week, no snow this time, no rain, just really damn cold. He had the one nice pass to driver for the score, but we simply couldn't run the ball, he couldn't get it done in the 4th, and I think by OT his body was simply "done". He threw a horrible pick, as he has done before, and then got labeled as "he can't play in bad weather anymore".
The two games against chicago is was really cold and he played bad. Really cold against htye giants and he played bad. He can play in bad weather, just not really cold weather. Bit of a difference.
Favre will not be Minnesota's undoing this year their defense will.
Why don't the Packers just surrender now? :lol:Quote:
