How insecure do you have to be as a fan to post those "Vikings Sux" smileys to start a thread that is not even remotely directed at the Vikings? They beat your team twice and advanced further than them in the playoffs this year, so if they suck then your team must really freaking suck. I can see...

Pro football was hardly even relevant in the pre-Lombardi days. It's only relevant to the teams that won championships way back then so that they have something to grasp at to hang their hat on. It wasn't until the 50's and television that people really cared about pro football. And there is...

... or what his fans think. My thoughts exactly.

They tried that already. In 2000 they had the number 1 pick and took Courtney Brown... Needless to say that didn't work out very well.

I liked NFL Draft Scout back when I paid about 10 bucks a year for it. Now I think it is free but a little watered down and run by CBS.

They should have aquired somebody. I think that Nelson's yards per return are slightly misleading because from what I saw, and I only saw half the games or so, he just caught the ball and ran strait up field basically every time. That is a good strategy for getting guaranteed pure yards per...

Winfield replaced DRC after he went down. Newman must be Woodson's replacement. Vikings CB Winfield heading to Pro Bowl - Football Wires - MiamiHerald.com

As for the worst personnel decision of the Packers, having Jordy Nelson return kicks deserves some mention.

Saying Allen made the Pro Bowl based on the two Packer games is a pretty ignorant statement to make. The guy probably drew more double teams and chip blocks than any player in the league, partly because of the incredibly inconsistent performance of Ray Edwards on the opposite side, and was stout...

Agreed. And what nobody here is mentioning is how huge recruiting is for coaches and programs, and how a lame duck coach isn't going to be as effective in that regard. Jimbo Fisher was named the coach in waiting, but it had gotten to a point at FSU where potential recruits weren't certain...

I understood your last sentence, but it had nothing to do with anything we are talking about. Here are the quotes. "You know what I would like? I would like to congratulate the people who voted for Darrelle Revis," Ryan told reporters in New York. "These guys obviously really know the game."...

I'm not a Brett Favre fan, I'm a Viking fan. And your last sentence doesn't even make a lick of sense in the context of this discussion. As for your first sentence, you nailed my point only you don't seem to realize it. He took a shot at the voters, not at Woodson. Nowhere did he demean...

His way of putting this was pretty snarky, but in the context he said it he never downplayed anything that Woodson did to deserve it. He really just said the people who evaluate more in depth numbers to evaluate production, the ones that don't show up in the boxscore, are the guys that know...

You'll need to enlighten me here because I've only seen a few groups of quotes from Rex on this and none would I consider "******** on" Woodson. I saw him resort to hyperbole, saying that Revis played at a historically good level. I saw him saying that people need to look at less obvious...

People were questioning their ability to stop the invincible Cowboys all week and they ignored it. Those kind of questions are no distraction to a good, focused team. Which is what the Vikings are.
