Keep Chandon Sullivan away from the refs.

Yup, had a right to be pissed but keep the fucking helmut on.

Funny story, I had absolutely no idea the Vikings were playing today. Watched Newcastle United play a friendly at 6:30am. Watched the world cup 3rd place game. Sitting in my chair my phone said kickoff time. I thought the damn thing was tomorrow.

Well, apparently that was the biggest comeback in the 102 year history of the NFL. LOL, I'll take it. Paper Tigers win the division. And they do seem papery I will agree.

I don't think their defense is good enough for a playoff run. But in an individual game, their skill players on offense give them a chance.

The Vikings hired him at the start of the season for Christ sake.

Fun facts from the newly anointed Packerrats Packer historian - me:

In week 17 of the 2003 season, Nathan Poole caught a walk-off TD from Josh McCown to annihilate the Queens’ ticket to the Dance, crowning the Sherman-led Packers as King of the North along the way.

On Wildcard weekend, Matt Hasselback said “we want the ball and we’re gonna score” at the OT coin flip. Sherman acquisition, Al Harris, picked off Hasselback and took it to the house.

The next week, the Balding Eagles converted 4th and 26 via fuck ups from KGB (missed sack) and future Queens great Darren Sharper (poor techinque in coverage). Prior to 4th and 26, Sherman chickened out and refused to go for it on 4th and 1 to ice, ice, baby the game with a hot Ahman Green - proving that he was a better GM than Coach along the way.

Sherman made future Queens DC, Ed Donatell, the scrap goat of that infamous 4th and 26 game.

Agree with this. Jefferson is so good, and Hockenson has been a really good addition to the team. Cook and Theilen aren't the players they used to be but they are still good. That QB though -- you never know what you'll get with him. And that defense -- they are vulnerable, and Donatell (with Pettine as a consultant) was a weird pick for DC. Felt like a safe/retread hire that wouldn't pan out, plus that side of the ball has age, and their secondary is not fast. (E.Kendricks, H.Smith, Z.Smith, P.Peterson, J.Hicks are all 30 or older)

I think they are the best executing team in the NFCN and worthy of a playoff spot. Who they play in the playoffs will matter a LOT. I don't think they can beat PHI or SF, and they got smoked by DAL. They'd be an interesting matchup vs. SEA or even TB. The NYG are so beat up they are in danger. MIN barely beat WAS but I'd take MIN in a rematch there.

Eagles with a doink.

Do we need to consider DET as dark horses for a playoff spot?

[Joemailman]

Cowboys lose to Jags in OT on pick 6.

[MadtownPacker]

Does fox play AFC games now? NE at Raiders which I don’t think I’ve ever seen both AFC teams. That’s always been CBS.

[MadtownPacker]

Cowboys lose to Jags in OT on pick 6.

Should we have been rooting for strength of schedule?

Sure. They'll be 1.5 games out of last playoff spot after tonight's Giants/Commandos game. Packers might be in unusual position of playing spoiler last week when they play Lions.
