Congratulations Minnesota Vikings

[ThunderDan]

Make no mistake; Minnesota were the big winners today and they've got nothing to lose at Lambeau next saturday! Vikings & All Day kinda has our number this season and Packers have everything to lose! Fifty-fifty game.

I will be at the game so the Packers win pulling away. It has now been over 5 years since I have seen the Packers lose at Lambeau during the regular and post season (pre-season games don't count).

Like I said in an earlier thread this year, come to Lambeau when I am there and you will owe me a nice steak dinner.

If you seriously think your presence in the stadium effects the outcome of a game, you need to get help immediately. Tell me it was tongue in cheek or I cannot take you seriously on any matter. It's impolite to drink your own kool-aid in front of others.

Go away Troll!

This is a fucking Packer fan site. Of course my presence in the stadium matters, that is why fan is short for fanatic! It matters that the labels are facing out for FGs and some guy is sitting in his lucky seat when SF won the Super Bowl.

And all these years I thought the team that played better determined the outcome. It was really the lucky used condom I wore on Super Bowl Sunday 1997 and again in 2011, Go figure. Packer fans don't have to be morons.

So fans in ATTENDANCE screaming at the top of their lungs have no effect on the game? You know Kool-aid has tons of sugar right? Might make folks hyper.

The main argument of the book Scorecasting was that teams with a solid and active fanbase get a few more calls in their favor. They posited that it was because 70,000 people yelling at you during a crucial moment in a game can ever-so-slightly alter the perception of officials when it comes to close calls in crucial situations. So there is pretty carefully laid out reasoning, backed by numbers, in long form, that this is more than just superstition.

Yeah. Here's an article on that: http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/12/...ntage-and-why/

When Ponder pointed at Peterson after he threw that little TD pass to him as if to say "you the man", I thought he was really saying "without you I really wouldn't be worth 2 shits."

Zone defense came back to haunt us AGAIN. When we play a team like this, where we have to keep our eyes to the backfield and can't play man defense, this is what happens. McMillan is awful. Other than that, the rest of them were bad. Way too many missed assignments. Just bad.

Woodson will be a big help, IF he ever gets back.

Why on 3rd and long do we have to play zone?

They have had some success with it this year, yesterday notwithstanding. 3d down D has been much better and they have gotten by with the dreaded zone pretty often.

BTW, you want to talk about kool-aid. Listen to Denver sports yak for the next couple of weeks. You'll think the Broncos already won the Superbowl.

I think Vegas will have us at [-4.5] on gameday unless we get R. Cobb back and have the rest back fr. this week.

Then it will be Packers [-6].

I checked the Vegas book on Vikings at Packers and it's set as follows (including the other 'Wild Card games'):

Date & Time Favorite Spread Underdog Total Money Odds

1/5 4:30 ET At Houston -4.5 ... Cincinnati ... O/U @ 43.5

1/5 8:00 ET At Green Bay -8 ... Minnesota ... O/U @ 46

1/6 1:00 ET At Baltimore -6.5 ... Indianapolis ... O/U @ 46.5

1/6 4:30 ET Seattle -2.5 At Washington ... O/U @ 45.5

GO PACKERS !

don't pay attention to Vegas lines - remember that they want equal betting and Packer fans always overbet on their team. Always skews the odds. Packers Vikings game in Lambeau is a toss up.
