Mega Monday Night Open Thread: Vikings, Giants, Ravens, Texans

PrintIt's odd to watch the Vikings play the spoiler and indirectly help the Green Bay Packers bid for the playoffs by beating the Giants. If you're in a market that normally shows the Giants or Vikings, it's probably on your Fox station, and it's on Sunday Ticket. It might be a good game to hit the mute button as the announcers are likely to gush about the end of the streak.
The Ravens/Texans matchup should be a good game, so that's one to watch if the Vikings/Giants game is unavailable.

So everybody
feels more comfortable with Tarvaris Jackson starting over Favre right?

I don’t really. I still think Favre gives them the best chance to win.

about the Vikings winning… but feel better about rooting for them
The best way to describe Brett Favre football is… He’ll keep BOTH teams in it til the end

The end of Favre's streak
I’m going to throw a conspiracy theory out there: The NFL has made (and will continue to make) lots of money off the legacy of Brett Favre, and they have done a lot to build him up as an icon over the years. It is in their interests for him to be remembered as an Iron Man, not an Iron Dick, and if he sits out a game and ends the streak that way, maybe he won’t be forever linked to the incident – or at least not in such a way that guilt is ever admitted. So, the NFL tells Favre to sit a game or two or risk his streak coming to an ignominious ending, and he complys. It seems like a long shot to me, but I don’t think it’s impossible.

"Tragedy is what happens to me. Comedy is what happens to you." -Mel Brooks
No, he's done
He’s not going to come to a team as a backup, nor take the veteran’s minimum.
No team’s going to be looking at him as a starter after this year, not even the teams like Arizona and Carolina.
agreed
time for old man winter to hang up his pads and enjoy walking around in his crocks
If Favre hangs it up
Maybe he’ll have a second career as a professional photographer. He could be the next Robert Mapplethorpe!

I know we need the Giants to loose, but I also live in NY and after watching the incompetence that was our 9 to 0 win over the Jets, all I hear is that NY is gonna knock us out of the playoffs. So, painfully, I need, eugh, the vikings to…… not loose…. there, that seems better

Assuming the Bears win the division (ugh), the Packers should get the 6th seed in the playoffs. From there, things get crazy…

Our chance of winning the division currently sits at a little less than 25%
The crap part is that the Bears will be facing the Vikings (most likely at home) and the clueless Jets before coming up to meet us. I think we have to assume that they’ll win the division, as painful as that may be.

They're better at home
Where two of their last three will be played. Of course, I don’t see them beating the Falcons or the Bucs, but they should be able to handle STL in Week 17. That would give them the 7-9 needed to win the West, and give them a tiebreaker over the Rams, who I also project finishing at 7-9.
Of course, I don’t see much of a way for us to finish in the 1st wild card spot anyway, so it’s probably moot. We may get to play Chicago twice in a row – once in GB and then the next week in the playoffs in Chi…

if the pack makes the playoffs——they’ll be the 6th seed, so they won’t play the 4th seed (nfc west winner). they would either go on the road to chicago or the eagles/giants.

Whoever had this illusion that a 6th round pick that hasn’t seen live action since 2008 was going to somehow turn into a starter overnight needs to be belted in the head with a lead pipe.

Tell that to
Peyton Hillis and Arian Foster to name a few. That is not a good excuse, we don’t have a single talented running back on the team minus Ryan Grant. The Packers obviously have a great future but we could also be doing great things right now. Another gripe from me, Aaron Rodgers needs to learn how to slide or he is going to have the shelf life of a loaf of bread. Your eggs can only be scrambled so much before you turn into Muhammad Ali. Moobs needs to coach a little better if he likes being employed.

No, we don't have a good running back.
And I am NOT in favor of drafting Mark Ingram, after the season he had. I need to see better consistency out of him; he was consistently middling all season and looked as shaky as 2008 P.J. Hill.

Vai Taua
that would be a heck of a pickup, IMO. He’s been consistently good as a running back, and has a great burst in the open field. Nevada’s offensive line is hardly the stuff of legend, too.

Yeah I know
people are finally talking about him. Thompson won’t draft a good RB though, let’s not get too excited about our prospects.

The Texans O-Line is awful. +1 for Joe thomas though, I did forget about him, I knew I could count on you to remind me.

What a shame...
The Texans have an awesome offense, but until that defense stops giving up 20+ points a game, they can’t even dream about the playoffs.

It's sad isn't it?
It’s their secondary, they have a good d-line and linebackers but their secondary is just brutal.

They've made steps to improve in that department
Kareem Jackson is a young CB who they took in the first round, and they’ll probably go CB-crazy in the draft.

Aw, the Bucks ended the Mavs 12 game winning streak
Now all we’ll hear out of ESPN (in between the farve love-fest) is how great the Miami Heat are, how they’ll run their streak longer than the previous best of 33 in a row, etc.

That is the last time I cheer for that pathetic squad! Did you guys see the interview with Shiancoe after the game? Someone might want to spend the night at his house, he sounded like he might go home and down a bottle of jack.
