    A pilgrimage to Lambeau for a day in the Packer HoF would be a good start.

      You lament that the road team didn't win in a Divisional matchup without the Packers.

      You make yourself some comfort food while realizing that the Vikings losing anywhere was good for your soul and the Packers.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        Since the Bears aren't going anywhere this year you can be happy they won, reducing the chance of being able to draft a franchise QB.

          Perhaps the Vikes offense starts getting better. But that OL is still a mess.
          Norv was apparently ill and did not tell anyone.

          #Vikings coach Mike Zimmer says why Turner is returning is “personal.” Says he was “very, very surprised. … He didn’t tell me he was ill.”

              Ahhh, music to my ears!!! excellent logic!

                That Vikings offense would make any offensive coordinator sick.

                Seriously, I am sorry to hear that he is ill. He's been a very able OC for a long time. He got a lot of praise during the Packer/Viking game for his ability to adjust the offense on the fly for Bradford.

                  In case you had not noticed, Alex Smith from KC was removed from the game Sunday after hitting his head on the turf. Was out a good long while as they did a concussion test. He eventually passed and came back in. Hit his head again and came out of game. Team announced that he was Out (concussion) for the game. Training staff now saying he did not have a concussion, but they were still in the middle of performing the evaluation when the PR guys came for an update. They say he passed the test and did not have a concussion.

                  Today Smith was not at practice. The reason: Smith is in the “return to participation” protocol.

                  Returning from what? No one knows. http://deadspin.com/whats-going-on-w...ith-1788496386

                      Well, I'm struggling today - the Lions play the Vikings. Despite the offensive mess the Vikes are in, to my mind they have a better team than Detroit does, and so are a greater threat to GB. Thus I ought to be rooting for the Lions.

                      But so scarred was I by idiotic Lions' fans back in the early nineties when the irrepressible Wayne Fontes lead the Lions to an NFCCG that I cannot bring myself to root for them.

                      That, and the fact that Ras is (despite his love of the Vikings) one of the better posters on Packerrats, leads me to quietly cheer when the Vikes sack Matthew Stafford or pick off one of his throws.

                        Maybe we can have yet another tie today?
