NFC North: Vikings, Packers, Bears and Pussycats

[Frigidus]

So just how many Chicago fans do we have on CC? So far it looks like:

Juan_Bottom
Luns101
Frigidus
Knapper

I'm assuming you're a Bears fan, Juan...especially after our discussion about the Blackhawks.

If we could only convert Serbia we could get our own clan!

This Sunday is going to be huge. It could very well decide who takes the NFC North.

Disclaimer: I don't mean to discount the Vikings, but their remain schedule seems to be a real bitch.

I'm a Viking fan, I'm used to disappointment.

If the Vikings had a passing game they'd be tough to beat.

Unfortunatly...

[Sackett58]

Bragging rights for karel or knapper after Sunday's games. Hopefully the Vikings sneak one out.

This is a big week for the NFC North, tough games for all involved (maybe not Detroit, but I'm not even considering them at this point). I can't wait until tomorrow.

If the Packers had a running game, offensively or defensively, they wouldnt lose.

Unfortunately...

As a Packers fan, been pretty dissapointing this year as far as Grant and our Coordinators. Its so incredibly unbelievable how bad our offensive and defensive coordinators are, I dont think we know what linebackers are. We have one of the best linebacker cores that go unnoticed (now without Barnett ), yet their job is to stand in place. We rush 4 men with a man press coverage, meaning that any wide receiver that knows how to run a proper route can burn Harris or Woodson on every single play.

[knapper]

Vikings' two keys: 1) Give Adrian Peterson the ball and let him go, and 2) Keep Frerotte from fucking up. Bucs run defense is mediocre.

Bears/Pack I have no idea. [Flips coin.] Ah, Bears. Nice.

Good luck, Sack. Bad luck, Karel.

Sooo... do the NFC North's third place Packers miss Brett Favre?

[Serbia]

I shall never be converted to a Bears fan. I'll be a Lions fan forever, which is a very sad thing to say.

It could be worse...you could be an Oakland fan

From the talk I've seen on Packers' forums it's very split. No surprise, no matter who you are it's hard to live up to a legend.

[Frigidus]

Now for a double post: Kyle Orton is officially starting today. Even though he's likely not at 100%, it's no surprise. We need this game today, it's probably the most important one we've had this season.

[Sackett58]

As a Viking fan I always expect the unexpected.

Watching today's games... the reigning champ NEW YORK GIANTS definitely looked the part
as they dismantled the Baltimore Ravens... 30-10 and made it look easy.

The Broncos got more Referee love as a Denver defender grabs an Atlanta receiver
by the belt of his pants to prevent the winning reception in the end zone...
and no flag.

Green Bay played Chicago today... nuff sed eh?

[luns101]

Well, at least the Packers showed up to play.

[oVo]

Green Bay seemed to be in a hurry to get it over with... rushing right thru Chicago.

I'm just glad to see the Cowboys getting back on track with a win over the Redskins this week.
Romo looked OK, but doubt his broken finger will mend before the season ends so I hope
he gets used to it and can put some zip on the ball.

[knapper]

The Bears were beaten so badly they should probably euthanize the team, out of pure mercy.

Props to the Pack, and to the Vikes, who barely lost to a very good Bucs team.

Just wait 'till next year, Sackett and Karel....hmmmph....

That Bear front line looked liked the Lion front line;

Too bad we can't play Detroit every weekend.

[PopeBenXVI]

I loved watching the bears get plowed over considering last year. To Chicago's credit, I know the bears are better than they played Sunday.

I'm glad Brett is out of our state, I could not take the retire - don't retire thing over the last 4 seasons. The team has got to make plans before the last minute.

[leemiller]

Packers will take the division. The only chance the bears have is if they beat the pack their second match up. The vikes always manage to choke and disappoint their fans. plus, the vikes have the hardest schedule out of the three.

[Sackett58]

Can I possible say it after this weekend. Vikings in 1st place.

[kerntheconkerer]

Every loss for Chicago, they get
"One Step Closer to the edge, and their about to break"

[InsomniaRed]

Let me just say....Go Vikings.

[Sackett58]

Another week in at least first place, "GASP".
