Monday Night Open Thread: Bears at Vikings

MINNEAPOLIS MN - DECEMBER 17: TCF Bank Stadium prepares for a potential monday night football game between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears on December 17 2010 in Minneapolis Minnesota. Preparations are due to the collapsed roof at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. (Photo by Hannah Foslien /Getty Images)

I'm not exactly sure how bad the field conditions at TCF Bank Stadium will be, but they won't be good. My guess is that it'll be a low scoring game because the Vikings will try and keep the ball out of QB Joe Webb's hands, and QB Jay Cutler and the Bears offensive line were both lousy last week in the snow (if it's another snow game). A low score would probably give the Vikings a better chance of pulling the upset.

Read more about the Vikings at Daily Norseman, and about the Bears at Windy City Gridiron.

UPDATE: Well I was right about them wanting to keep the ball out of Joe Webb's hands, Brett Favre is starting. I thought his upgrade earlier today from OUT to QUESTIONABLE was just wishful thinking, but when I turned on ESPN I see it's no joke. However no RB Adrian Peterson tonight.

The only way the ball gets into Joe Webb's hands

Is if Favre’s hip shatters when it hits the turf.

Or if Your Lacker sacks him.

Though I often wonder how many tackles Your Lacker is going to miss every week.

I’m not talking about you specifically when I say “Your Lacker”. Read it out loud and figure out who I’m slamming.

The Vikings are really bad.

Can’t believe the Bears will win the North, but they got all the breaks this season, avoided the injury bug and played teams that were missing key players. But I do think we’ll win the Wild Card and then we’ll knock them out of the playoffs, which will be sweet.

It seems like it’s been longer than that, but his intense crappiness might just make it seem like it’s been longer since he’s been any good.

Also, safeties can run up numbers because a poor defense will end up bringing a lot of tackles their way. It can disguise some overall poor play. Think Roy Williams.

Could Jon Gruden...

Have his lips more firmly planted around Jay Cutler’s penis? Is that possible?

If this score stands

The Bears will more than double their margin of victory on the season. Pre-game, they outscored their opponents by 25 points over 13 games.

So my GF lived with a girl who dated Urlacher's brother

Apparently, he had some rage issues. After a fight, the girl decided to go out without telling him where. He showed up at my GF’s place, punched a few holes in some walls, trashed some furniture, and decided to leave before the cops arrived.

Needless to say, I don’t have to worry about my GF ever being a Bears fan.

It's funny how much quieter the Vikings fans have been this game

Even when they scored first, the crowd noise seemed to be less than normal.

Maybe the recording was damaged when the dome roof collapsed.

Claiming that 1 billion people are affected by counterfeit medicine discounts a lot of common sense. I’d like to see that study – I’ll bet that the 1B is way on the high side of the projections.

Paper pointed out that we lost 6 games by a total of 20 points. Only thing that matters is that we lost and we dug our own graves. Time to climb out and see how much life we still have left.
