It's never over when you got #14 standing over on the other sideline!

If only he stayed there all game long.

He's up to 9 completions out of 27 attempts. Wasn't the over/under 10? Watch out now!

Personally I'm happy. I want Brady vs Rodgers.

I would've been all for Brady vs. Webb

He got it! 11 completions!

Good spike. A 14-point touchdown is still a possibility.

I want Brady versus the worst backups each opponent has, particularly at the QB position. I'm never going to understand the idea of fans wanting to face players who can beat you. This isn't about measuring your game. It's about winning titles. Wanting to face Rodgers makes no sense. Nobody looks back on 2007 and says "Yeah, the Patriots lost, but at least they didn't play the 9 win Buccaneers for the title that year. That would have been a hollow victory."

Pride? Knowing you are the best?

It's not just about winning titles to me. We have titles. It's more than that now.

I get little satisfaction when beating up on a crappy team.

EDIT: Except the Jets.

Dungy's smoking crack if he thinks the Foreskins are going to beat the Seahawks tomorrow.

Re: ****** Unofficial Vikings v. Packers game thread ******

Already one great matchup for next week. Packers-SF saturday night. And of course our game Sunday afternoon is good regardless.

The other 2 games I believe will be decent at worst. Divisional round usually a great weekend of football and this year appears to be no different

Some people prefer to challenge themselves against the best rather than win against inferior opponents not at full strength.

You generally get a pretty good idea of a person's fortitude when presented with a challenge.

5 years after you win, nobody cares who you beat, unless you beat the 18-0 Patriots. Nobody's going to give a rat's ass if the Patriots beat the Redskins led by Kirk Cousins instead of the Packers led by Aaron Rodgers. That's because the professional sports leagues aren't about "pride" when it comes to the postseasons. They're about winning.

I care about it now.

And that's not exactly true. You never noticed how our Superbowls are always ranked among the best ever, because they were close, competitive games? For example, does anyone ever talk about the Buccaneers vs Raiders 48-21 Superbowl blowout? I remember watching that. Such a snooze fest.

Can't argue that. Those players work too hard to look back and say "Oh if only we could have earned this ring by beating Manning instead of Flacco". Especially considering how close this team has come seemingly year after year since 2006.

That's foolish. That's really, really foolish.

Yes, it is true. Nobody cares who the winner beat, except for the momentous occasions. This isn't you against Bob from down the road in the all-neighborhood chess championships. This is the big time, and winning's what matters. Who you beat doesn't mean a damned thing.

I think/hope everyone just figured out how important Ponder has been to the Vikings season. If anything, their offensive scheme has been holding him back... and the loss of Harvin took away his only true WR.
