JS-"VIKES HAVE OUTPERFORMED PACK IN OFFSEASON TOO"

[Scott Campbell]

40 years of futility has a tendency to make trash talk ring pretty hollow.

And then there's the pending move to LA.


If I was a Viking fan, and thank God I'm not, I'd be quietly hoping that this didn't happen again:

Uh, I was responding to the trash talk that wasn't part of the subject. Didn't start it. But see your willing to continue it as usual. And I'll state if for the 99millionth time. Why would you be happy about a potential move of the Vikes franchise? I hate the Packers as much as anybody but would never want them to leave. They belong where they are, the history is where they are, and the rivalry is over if they were to move. Just like never wishing injury on anyone, I would never wish for a franchise move. But I guess that just me.

Expecting another "they legally can't move"

Hey, it's not my fault you people are too cheap to build a decent stadium.

I'd be upset if Chicago moved. That's our rivalry game. Detroit and MN? It doesn't really matter to me what division they play in.

Right now it sure looks good for the Vikes, doesn't it?

But last year, as a Press Gazette article points out, Indy had just gotten thrashed by the Pack and was at 3-4 - dead in the water. Then they reeled off nine straight W's.

Oh, and Tennessee was the toast of the town going into the playoffs. Doh!

And Arizona looked like a wild card lame duck, as the Giants did in '07.

I'm not predicting any of this for the Packers this year. I think it might happen, the pieces are there, but then again the Pack was 4-3 a year ago, coming off that thrashing of Indy, and then Green Bay proceeded to suck ass. So who knows.

The point is, sometimes forum discussions read as if the season is over and the playoffs are starting next week. But that ain't the case. One day at a time - inlcuding the game today.

No matter what some of you say about the patsies - you dismiss the Pack victories against them out of hand - they are wins in the NFL. Today is a chance for the Pack to start to get right. So let's see that happen and not scoff if it does.

I live in Chicago.

Always love a good Peanuts reference added. And I agree MN, the division belongs the way it is. I had no problem taking tampa bay out, they didn't belong IN to begin with!!
