    ESPN : Vikings in Superbowl???

    http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3152151&name=nfl_nfc


    Vikings in the Super Bowl?by: Jeremy Green
    posted: Wednesday, December 12, 2007




    I would post the article, but until Mad gets the situation sorted out, you can read some of it there on that link...

    YOU SHOULD see the comments posted by Viking fans... They think they are going to man handle Tampa and Seahawks... Then a lot go on to say that they have a very good chance of beating Dallas and GB...

    I went on to read these dumbass comments...

    "Packer fans crack me up you squeak by the Eagles, Skins, and Chargers- who the vikings crushed. You get obliterated by Dallas, and it would've been worse had T.O. not dropped a touchdown into Harris' arms. You lose to the bears who we swept. You also claim to have a running game now... I laugh at that, Ryan Grant has been the benificiary of a great pass offense. Quite the game he had in St. Louis."

    "So until everything plays out why don't you stop saying how good you are and let your team prove it in the playoffs. Oh and I'm not worried about the going to Quest Field we dominated there last year, and we'll be alot better team this time around. "

    "vikings were beating dallas til some poor alignment in the stars (or our coach but hakunamatata) and honestly the 34-0 was a fluke. im glad we got the embarassing game of the playoff run out of the way during the regular season. green bay has played a similar schedule to the vikes but they have caught almost all their opponents at low points in the season (or crap teams). packer fans are already starting to talk about how the eagles beat dallas and the pack (barely) beat the eagles.
    anybody notice that gb took out another back's knee by the way?"

    "Packer fans: 2004 has already been mentioned. But also realize if we play you, it will be outside, and it'll be bad weather. What do teams have to do well to win in bad weather? RUN. Packers pass, vikings run, enough said.

    Seattle: Are you freakin kidding ME? You dominated a HORRIBLE NFC West division. Here's a cookie. Lets face it, they're not the same without hutch. Alexander isn't dominating anymore, hasselbeck has played well when he's not hurt, and the defense beats up on weak teams...so what?"

    "2004 Packer fans. 2004. Remember what happened in the playoffs that year?"

    "I cant wait until the Vikes win out and all these d bags who think they know something look like a bunch of idiots. And, while I understand why someone might think they Vikes cant compete with Dallas and GB, even though they can.... but SEATLLE? Bberrey or whoever said that, come on. For a reason I will never understand, people just dont want to like the Vikings. We'll win out, be 10-6. Spit on teams like Seattle or TB in the wild card round, and then see what happens. "


    80 % of these fans are already buying thier superbowl tickets...
    A select few on the ESPN comments have some common sense and take it week by week... Its pretty funny...

      ESPN is a breeding ground for yahoo's that spurt their opinions without any basis.

      1. Is it our fault we caught teams like San Diego at a bad time? That's the way it works. We won those games, enough said.

      2. The guy fails to mention we beat the Vikings twice.

      3. How is 34-0 a fluke? We "flukishly" held them to 0 points, while we scored 4 TDs.

      The Vikes are a good team and they will be dangerous in the playoffs. Are they as good as the Packers talent-wise? No. Can they beat us in a playoff game? You bet.

        I knew it was about 3-4 days old because it took place before the Bears game...

        I'm not trying to bash your fan base Ras... Just some of the comments on ESPN

          ESPN bumped it to the front page. I assumed it was new, as well.

              I was worried, but after last night.... I'm less concerned about the Vikings. But for the fact that Chicago's QB situation is even worse than MN's, the Bears should have won that game.

                you never take anyone for granted in the playoffs, but we destroyed the vikes. ran all over them even. Shut down AP.

                They have a crappy QB to go along w/ a crappy receiving corps. I still hope they make the playoffs cuz I'd rather see them over the saints or anyone else left.

                We are a match up nitemare for that team. Put 8 in the box and let Woodson/harris shut down their crap WR.

                And yeah, they barely squeaked by the bears last night. Kyle Pornton almost beat them. hopefully we destroy the bears this week.

                  That's true. I think that might have been Shermy's problem and why he didn't win much in the playoffs. Remember the way we lost to Atlanta (at home). I don't think Shermy prepared well for that game. I'm glad we have M3 as coach.

                    I'm very impressed w/ M3 and how he runs things. I heard AL Harris on bubba the love sponge talking about him and how he won't let the team overlook anyone. period.

                    speaking of the Sherminator...anyone see his shining bright personality working out in college? God I hope he has some great recruiters.

                      34-0 a fluke? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

                      I'm not scared of them...I expect the Pack to take care of business no matter who they play in the divisional round.

                        Even if the Vikings did make the Super Bowl, we all know their history there.

                          If Longwell goes down, will Ziggy call up Gary Anderson?

                            I think maybe lots of fans from lots of cities feel their teams are slighted when it comes to national media attention, yet as a Packer fan I get that same feeling about the Pack. Every year, it seems, the media writes that the Lions are going to be the dark horse team, that Matt Millen has gotten the firepower for the Lions to win, or that Brad Chirldress was the next coming of Mike Holmgren and with the Queens' powerful offensive and defensive lines they were going to sneak up and win the division, and on and on and on. But again, that just might be me, being a typical fan.

                            As for the Minny fans, many seem arrogant to me, but then I have to account for the knowledgable and likeable Rastak, and my brother's father in law, who is a reasonable and knowledgable Vikes fan as well. So this may be more a matter of perception (mione included) than reality.

                              The Monday night game proved that the way to beat Minnesota is to shut down AP. Tavaris was terrible, a few well-timed blitzes should create the same erratic play the Bears caused with their pressure. AP is still the heart of the Vikings offense.

                              ESPN's boards are a joke by the way. They give new meaning to the phrase "lunatic fringe."

                              I love my new avatar, BTW. I'm gonna see if I can edit it to swith the blue to green.
                              Always respect your opponent, even when you're kicking the crap outta him.
