Wow. That was just an ass-whooping by Tampa last night. The bandwagon is pretty light for the Vikes up here in MN. Suddenly the sky is falling and Ponder is no longer thought of as the QBOTF.

All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
How many years have we seen Viking teams that aren't expected to be real good start out very well, only to have reality hit at mid season? I can't remember the last time they were a team that got better as the season progressed, but they are often a team that fades.Originally Posted by Cheesehead Craig
However, somehow the Bears make a living on being an overperforming team year in and year out.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
True. In addition, in years that they start out well they generally seem to carry it through, absent a significant injury or injuries.. For a lot of years now, they have scored a lot of points on defense and on special teams. When you look back on a season and wonder how they won 10, 11, 12 games; you will find a bunch that were won due to "unconventional" scoring.
This tells me that Lovie is a good coach, hamstrung by his GM.
I think so. It depends on how much input Lovie has on the FAs they bring in. It seems as though the GM is a bit shermanesque: The Bears always seem to be chasing last year's championship, filling holes in an effort to 'win now' and it seems to keep them perpetually a whisker away from being that team.

The Purple Jesus fumble really hurt....then once TB was up a couple scores it was all over for Ponder.
TB is a good team...and Vincent Jackson was a great pickup that has really helped them it seems.
C.H.U.D.
The Vikings coming back from way behind look exactly like when they play with a lead, or exactly the same as the start of the game. They have no downfield threat. Down 1, 2, or 3 scores, they still throw passes in the flat to Favrin, run, run, run Peterman and Gearhead, and maybe toss up a deep throw to a completely covered Jenkins. Rudolph is a slow Bubba Franks; He's Chmura with less strength, speed, and hot tubbing. He'll never fit in.

HOFer
I was never scared of the Vikings, and knew they would start folding like a tent once their schedule wasn't filled with cupcakes. This division will come down to the Bears and Packers, which is as it should be. Week 15 is likely going to determine who wins this division.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
loved this totally-out-of-nowhere win by tb!! the only person that saw that coming was jason whitlock...his #payyourmortgage pick.
Lions and Bears both win.
Jets lose to Philbins. Go Joe.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I HATE the Bears. They are the luckiest team in the NFL
Go PACK
I hate the Bears too, but that D is pretty gott-damn good. I keep waiting for one of the old guys to break and the D to fall off a cliff but it just never seems to happen.
They didn't look too great today
Go PACK
Ahhh. Didn't get to see the game or look at the stats yet. The only thing I saw was the pick 6 that was making the rounds. Did you see that game?
Ya I did. Carolina was moving the ball all over the field but kept settling for FG. Cutler was dog shit.
Go PACK
WTF?

Cowboys pull out a little misdirection on the goal line. Nice.
