Sometimes, A Picture Is Worth More Than A Thousand Words

And now we begin the painful process of waiting for the Vikings to rebuild so that this rivalry can regain its relevance.
Also, can we discuss the whole "10 points allowed in 3 games" thing? Ridiculous.

IF they move to a new city, will they still be in the NFC North?
If not, this may not be a relevant rivalry ever again.
That's akways been the way I've seen it.
Wouldn’t take a big re-shuffling of the divisions.

If Vikings go to LA,
it would make a lot of sense to send them to the NFC West, and the Rams to the NFC North

How bout vikes to Mexico?!!
They could easily be the first team out of the US borders to get an NFL team!!! Still in NFC west, w/ a change by Rams to NFCNorth!!! Is that all that unlikely, given the NFL wanting to go Global?!!
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Sweeping the Vikings is always nice.
Even better than sweeping the Bears or Lions. Also, with how GB is playing now, it looks like they will be in the playoff chase now.
I didn't believe it last August, but it turns out that love survives.
Possibly hiking up Mount Marcy during the weekend of October 23-24. State high point count: 3/50

Sweeping the Vikings is nice
Sweeping the Lions is expected.
Sweeping the Bears is grand.
Sweeping Brett Favre = glorious beyond words.

Oh, and did anyone see the graphic over at DN with the asterisks nest to the GB wins and the MN losses?
How freaking cheap is that?
It's a great farce over there

As I read the DN game threads, I don't think we're going to see that this week
I think we’re going to see some utterly defeated posts
I think what will happen the rest of the season
as the Vikings become more and more irrelevant is that the the amount of activity over there will drop significantly. They’ve made a killing the past couple of years with Favre and being the talk of the NFL, but that’s over now.
Think about what’s going to happen to that team next year – for starters, they’re going to have a new head coach and the only QB on their roster will be Joe Webb. The Vikings will turn into the irrelevant team they usually are and DN will revert to graveyard status.
His contract is up this season believe.

Also,
I just can’t see him being viewed as their QBOTF, anymore.

No, he actually isn't taking that line today.
I just checked DN. He’s taking it as a real loss, and this time, I finally agree with him. Minnesota Vikings fans can’t blame anyone except the fact that the Packers were much, much, better today.
Although he did make a line about “internet tough guys” in his post. Needed at least some vitriol, I assume.

I understand that Childress and Gates have matching stress balls,
so I wouldnt have been surprised to see that over there, but, I didn’t really expect it.
Just keeping the running joke going.
Pay attention to the emoticons. :D

Who the hell is Rusty Smith?
And is he a QB from like the 50s?
I picked the Jets to win
And the Bills to cover. Feeling just fine about that call now.

Wow, fail Browns
The Jaguars are just an insane team. This will be just enough to save JDR’s job. Kind of scares me, actually, if he ends up on the market he might end up in Minny.
Houston, this is FUCKING embarrassing.

Wow, someone correct me if I'm wrong but...
That is now ELEVEN (!!!) consecutive games that the Texans D gives up at least 24 points…. wow.
Fox Fail.
They just cut off the end of the Tennessee-Washington game.

Yeah, I picked he and Bowe up and they’ve both been going OFF. On top of that, I’ve Jackson and Austin. I’ve been trying to work out a trade can’t find any suitors.

Bowe
I was able to pick up Bowe about a month ago in my pay league!!! He helped me win today and a couple other games… In first place in APC league and fighting for a playoff spot in my pay league. Have a strong team in each league and hope to make the playoffs at least in each. Both fantasy titles would be well… a fantasy come true!!! LOL
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Gotta admit
Once the Packers stood up to the Vikes coming out fast Green Bay just stomped MN. Ron Wolf had to be smiling as he always said in MN you had to hold on early against the Vikes at home because in a big game they always seem a step faster. Packers did what was needed on defense.

just gotta say that Tramon's INT was the play of the game.
by ThroughBeingCool on Nov 21, 2010 3:17 PM CST reply actions 2 recs
That changed the game there.
Vikings were going and looked like they were going to score and tie it at 10-10.
All of a sudden, that INT happens, and the Packers drove it quickly down the field to make it 17-3.

Good one
This is where I’d like to insert a joke regarding McNabb’s contract and the history of unfulfilled promises made to the Native Americans but can’t seem to think of one without sounding racist myself. So you’ll just have to hear my story about how I had the joke and the storyline but couldn’t make it all work.

Shout out to our special teams too...
6 Viking kick off returns, averaged just 12 yards a return…
we really contained harvin
just thought I would throw that out there…
How sweep it is!
Such a fitting end…
Probably Favre’s last game against us, Childress likely getting fired…
We SHELLACKED them in the Metro Dome in a game that was “their Superbowl.”
I am of the opinion that we have the best defense in football. Teh Bares have allowed the same amount of points but, come on.

I would feel like an idiot for not starting Steve Johnson, except...
I’m ahead by 40 pts… w/Sean Jackson going tonight. All the other dude has left is his kicker.
Today was a total team domination.
The offense, after the first quarter, pretty much did what it wanted for the rest of the game. The defense was as stingy as usual, maybe even more so since this game was in the Metrodome, where the Packers have struggled for years, and the special teams did a great job on coverage and made several critical returns (see Tramon’s return from the Packers’ 3-yard line as an example).
You can’t ask for more of a team than the Packers did today. Add to the fact that this may well be Childress’ last game as Vikings coach, and this was a great weekend for Wisconsin sports teams.
Game ball goes to Aaron Rodgers. 22-31, 301 yards, 4 touchdowns, and no interceptions, with a QB rating of 141.3. Simply put, he was almost perfect today. And today was perfect, if you are a Packers fan. There is no way ESPN or any other network can spin what happened today.
You can’t spell “SKOL” without and “L”.

A game ball should go out to the defense for puting Aaron and company in good field position all day long
and keeping the Queens out of the end zone, until the Offense gets going. They kept us from digging a big hole and AP from running all over us.
Just a little food for thought
What do the names Troy Williamson and Alex Barron have in common?
The Minnesota Vikings called BOTH their names with Aaron Rodgers still on the board in 2005.

Crabby over at DN
Hoo Boy, they are crabby over at Daily Norseman. Gates gave me the heave-ho over a couple of posts about La Vikings before the game. Youdda thunk VikingFan would be more gracious in defeat (given their vast experience getting their hearts broken by La Vikings). BTW, the “a” will be capitalized soon enough.
Predictably
CBS halftime show sings about how great Rodgers played, then cuts to Brent’s postgame interview talking about how disappointed he is. Really, really looking forward to next year when we can beat the Vikings instead of beating the Minnesota Brett Favres.
Favre will still be around
Everytime the Packers play they’ll throw up a Favre graphic, only he’ll have Green and Gold on. We may never escape the presence of Favre.
We may never escape the presence of Favre
but Jenn Sterger will never escape the picture of Favre

Are you kidding? They can take all the time they want, and it’ll be fine with me. I could see the Lions giving us trouble in the future. If the Vikings take over as the doormat for a decade or so, I won’t shed any tears.
