It still haunts me to this day that the Vikings passed on Rodgers not once, but TWICE during the 2005 draft. All for Troy "Alligator Arms" Williamson and Erasmus James. I remember the Vikes' 2nd first round pick being 18th overall, and it was so obvious that Rodgers was going to drop all the way down to the Packers at 24 before the Vikings even picked at 18. It didn't take a genius to realize what a huge opportunity we were passing up putting all of our trust in Culpepper, who never really amounted to anything without Randy Moss for the most part.

They literally could have hung on to Randy Moss and taken Rodgers with their own 1st round pick at #18... seriously, that combo would have been good for 2 titles minimum. Urgh.

Didn't need Rodgers back then, we had Denny Green, and Denny had a system.

I think you're confusing ol' Dennis with Mike "Throws Challenge Flags at Plays That Make Him Angry" Tice.

Great defense today. We've now held the Rams to 7, and Falcons to 9 in the span of 3 weeks.

Crazy thing is...the D wasn't even at it's best today. Kinda just found a way. Scary what they continue to be capable of

It just amazes me that it took Zimmer so long to get a job. They just play and keep their cool.

8 straight!

Was Chuck in the house today? One year he came THIS close to winning a rare triple crown: Rushing yards, receptions and TDs. For five or six years, he was THE MAN.

With Carolina losing today, we can lose next week and still be in the driver's seat for at least the #2 seed. :yes:

Who knows what will happen next week but we have beaten a bunch of teams better than Carolina this year...

Yeah... but if they won today, and beat us next week, they'd hold the tie breaker. Losing today, puts them 2 games back, with 4 to go.

I will say one thing

Cole the playoffs id really appreciate it if everytime we got a penalty on first down we didn't just concede the drive with screen passes.

There is no rule that states on 1st and 20 you can't throw the ball forwards.

Other than that. We are goooooooood.

Only thing our defense is lacking is turnovers, would like to see us get few more

Honestly, I could see it. Of course, it's easy to get tripped up in divisional games.... especially if GB gets Rodgers back, feeling like they still have a chance... But, get past Carolina this week, and should be clear sailing into the playoffs.

But we don't turn it over, either.

They make solid tackles, don't take chances, and pllay solid team defense. First guy takes out the blocker, second guy makes the tackle, rather than the first guy trying to go straight for the tackle and missing. It worked really good yeasterday on the sweep they tried to run. Smith took out the blocker, Rhodes made the tackle. No gain, or maybe even a slight loss.
