Most embarrassing team in the NFC north?

I say it has to be the vikings or packers. Everyone expects the Lions to stink it up, and the bears have played IMO way above expectations. That leaves the packers and vikings who have both lost games to mediocre teams, and had terrible performances from two of the leagues best quarterbacks. I would love for the lions to take this division but after the bears game I've figured out that we will never do anything as long as harrington is the QB. The vikings seem to be helpless without randy moss, and brett farve seems to have drastically aged in just the last two games. As much as I hate to admit it, I see the bears taking the division with a 3 way 5-11 tie for the vikings, packers, and lions.

Has to be the Vikings. The Packers right now are playing at a lot of people's expectations but the Vikings were picked by most as either a Super Bowl participant or at least taking part in the NFC Championship game.

I will say the Vikings are the most embarassing team. So much hype and promise being squandered. Packers have not lost that bad yesterday, only by 2 points, but we still lost.

For me it's the Packers, but probably because I like the Packers a lot and expect them to do great things. Otherwise, yeah, the Vikings were expected to rock everyone's world, but instead they suck.

The Brewers

The Vikings with out a doubt. They were hyped up as the big boy on the block and have looked like the worst team in the NFL. What a shame

Well, according to Culpepper they aren't the worst. They are still going to win the division. Good for them--NOT

Ha ha, yeah. They were so close to .500. I wonder if they'll be able to get back there before the end of the season. I'm hoping they can finish 82-80.

I didn't hear anyone saying the vikings were going to be superbowl contenders this year. I heard alot laughing that the vikings thought losing randy moss would make them a better team though. I'm not sure what has happened to them, but I am starting to think they are the most embarrassing. I think our division will be the weakest this year in the nfl.

Really? All we heard all offseason from the "experts" was that the Queens were going to the Super Bowl or, at worst, the NFC Championship game. There were a bunch of fans of other NFC teams who said that losing Randy Moss was not addition by subtraction (how assinine is that?) and that adding a bunch of big money free agents doesn't necessarily improve your D, but the collective football experts certainly disagreed with us (it's only week 2 so I'm not going to say who was right).

ESPN seems to think so.

They allude to it at the bottom of the page here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/preview05/news/story?id=2146879

John Clayton, Scouts Inc., Jeremy Green and James C. Black pick the Vikes to go to SB XL: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/preview05/news/story?id=2152292

Another guy here did: http://espnradio.espn.go.com/espnradio/story?page=gamenight2005nflpicks

Peter King of SI did.
Cris Carter of Yahoo Sports did.

okay okay, I get your point! I don't know how any rational thinking human being could say by losing one of the best receivers in the league a team will be better. That's why I never listen to the so called experts.

Well, look at other teams that dumped a one-man show and got a few quality people in return. It's happened in baseball a few times and I can't think of any football examples. Teams that dump the one-man show generally end up better because they become more of a team.

So it's not entirely baseless.

I would also say theVikes uke: are the worst it proves what I always say The Vikings always find a new way to loose!!!

Is it necessary to quote yourself from the last post?

NO i just did a bobo I am not the greatest there is when it comes to doing this stuff

Packer fans picking the Vikes as the most embarrassing team in the North. Theres a shock. I'll say the Lions, as they haven't done anything in 40+ years.

I would say the vikings. At least the Packers rallied back on Sunday to losing by only a couple of points. I am not saying that it was a good thing to lose, but it wasnt like 37-8 as the vikings score was.

I did a bobo once... still can't get the white makeup off.

we certainly didnt lose in a blowout.

Hmmm... Wonder if PHIL will use this quote, too? 8)

:lol: Ok HA HA give me a break I'm a recovering REDNECK from Missouri and not the best speller and what-not :roll:

Well, the Pack lost again last night, but they rallied back again to lose by only 3. Yeah, yeah, I know. A lot of you will say we still lost, but you know Favre can't keep doing it himself. The queens were almost shut out on Sunday, and Culpepper had NINE sacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that a record, does any one know?
