Official Wild Card Round Game-Week Discussoin: Packers vs Vikings win or go home edition

[esoxx]

Listen up you doper, I am the one that is over confident. I have to believe the actual players are gonna be quite upset they have to play this weekend. Imagine they will want to take it out on the the guys in purples.

Don't get mad, get glad! You guys had a good season and took a step forward.

Gotta agree with my boy Mad. You had a good run. Enjoy, Vikings have over-acheived. Take satisfaction that you made the playoffs against all odds. It won't be soon again you'll make the playoffs with Ponder under center.

Yea, I had them pegged at 6-10. I was wrong. I also admit Ponder resembles Tarvaris Jackson at times. He's played well the last 4 weeks, I guess well is relative. Hope you don't shit your drawers Sat, cause anything can happen. You guys ain't exactly dominant.

That week three L* sure stings now but Packers still had the opportunity to seal a bye week and BLEW IT. But it's a win-win scenario come saturday as a Packers win over Vikings is the sweetest thing and loss would make heads roll on Packers coaching staff - I'd prefer the former though.

My New Year's resolution is to not shit my drawers this year. Happy New Year friend!

You too Esoxx, in all seriousness. We'll see what happens.

The Vikings are playing really good football. Going to the metrodome against a hot Vikings team and losing a close one could mean we're pretty good. Could mean you guys are pretty good too.

PS, I think we win. I don't think Ponder can play like that on the road.

Living in Minnesota (and thankfully no longer the Twin Cities), the Viking fans I work with have been humble and appreciative of their team - definitely refreshing.

Wilf appears to have definitely made the right move keeping Frazier as he reminds me quite a bit of a young Tony Dungy. Having a solid defense and a stud like AP running the ball is giving Ponder plenty of time to develop into a solid QB.

I feel pretty confident that the Packers turn their defense around and win by 10 this Saturday but as Rastak says, it's no slam dunk. Also given our recent playoff woes at home (2-4 since the initial 13-0 start) it doesn't speak to a done deal.

What's the status on Worthy - injury and cart suggested it was serious? Definitely need better line play this weekend.

I don't know, but this morning Jor-El tweeted: "Bright future ahead". Sort of ominous, IMO.

When did Rastak show up? Right after the "big win"? Come on.

He was posting in the Game Day Thread, and is always welcome. (By most, at least.).

I know he's a fan favorite. Nice guy by all accounts, but he's a Vikings fan and I'm not really interested. (Not that anyone cares)

[Spaulding]

It's always good to have rationale fans of other teams on this board. Provides outside perspective/input and keeps the homerism to reasonable levels. Then again is there such a thing as rationale and Bears fan?

[mission]

I just hadn't seen him until this week....

[mmmdk]

Hey mission, what's with all those peach streets in Atlanta? Rastak never left you, man, he never left you!

[ThunderDan]

What point is MM trying to make?

Would a Packer fan really sell his/her tickets to Viking supporters?

Wouldn't that be classified as a 'mortal sin' in Wisconsin?

GO PACK GO !

There were 4 Bears fans in front of us on the Thursday night game. Those tickets are my in-laws neighbor's seats. We called my father-in-law about it during the game and he called his neighbor and chewed him out.
