Incredible. Congrats, Vikes and AP!

What's better than cheering for Minnesota teams...even if it means you are in Europe and sleep is much less. Happy New Year, all. And in the word of Pek, "meat!"

YESSSSS awesome game for the Vikings and AP !!!

I gave them a zero percent chance of making the playoffs halfway through the season, ho hum. I guess Bonk was right all along...as well as Sid Hartman :blink:

Are you guys ready for Joe Webb?!

Pretty crazy that Ponder actually survived the whole season, got them into the playoffs and now can't play.

It didn't look good when he was testing the elbow with some throws on the field, so not surprising they determined he wasn't playing.

I'm pretty excited about this, but it sucks that this is Webb's first game of the year. He might not be ready. Unfortunately they didn't bench Ponder a couple of months ago.

Webb is sucking hard. Ponder almost looks competent by comparison. Time to put in Bethel-Thompson I guess.

I guess we got the answer whether Joe Webb will ever be a NFL-caliber QB. Nope. Yeah, Ponder wasn't that good this season at all, but he was competent enough to do basic throws. You can't run a two-back offense with AP and Webb running the ball time after time. The Packers did their homework when it comes to Peterson, but that wasn't a surprise. Our only competent drive of the game (the very first one) came because they weren''t prepared for Webb and his explosive runs. And that was all.

The 12 man penalty which basically tossed the game (well... we weren't going to win it anyway, but that thing basically locked it for the Packers) made me cringe and look for Brad Childress somewhere on the sideline.

I disagree completely. Psychology doesn't work this way. The man has not thrown a pass in a game the entire year, then you throw him out there for the biggest game in who knows how long which happens to be at Lambeau field. You could tell the man was absolutely terrified. He was finally able to calm down when the game was over in the 4th quarter and look more like the guy we remember. I don't take much from it other than it was a fail of a situation for him to be in.

Basically my thoughts as well. The last time we played the Packers at lambeau, Ponder had the singl worst game by any QB in the league all season long. And that was with a year's worth of starts under his belt. I dont think Webb is a very good QB (he should be playing WR especially considering how much we need one) but he was put in an unfair situation.

The worst thing about is that now the more mentally challenged rubes think that Ponder is good :S There is also the unfortunate side effect of AP's miracle season that we now have to suffer through at least one more year of the Spielman-Frazier-Ponder failfecta. This franchise is going to be set back years because of this. But I guess that's par for course being a Vikings fan. Atleast we'll always have the memories of AP's 2000 yard season. :laugh:

Wow Peyton Manning choked in the playoffs again :side: He's now only 9-11 in the postseason with 1 comeback and 1 game winning drive.

For comparison's sake:

Brady: 16-6, 3 comebacks, 4 game winning drives
Favre: 13-11, 2 comebacks, 2 GW drives
Elway: 14-7, 4 comebacks, 6 GW drives
Montana: 16-7, 5 comebacks, 5 GW drives
Marino: 8-10, 3 comebacks, 4 GW drives

Dan Marino's record is a bit misleading though because he was mediocre teams for most of his career.

Also, the Packers got crushed by the 49ers. YESSSSSSSSSSS :woohoo:

Yesssss, love the Niners smoking the Fudgepackers! Really hoping they can win the Superbowl. They are probably my all-time favorite sports team ever.

Kaepernick is a BOSS.

The Super Bowl is the Harbaugh Bowl! :woohoo: Man what a crazy story. I'm gonna have to root for the 49ers, because they have a cooler team and Randy Moss needs to get a ring before he retires.

Awesome, the Niners! So glad they are in it since they've been my favorite team ever since I was like 3! They gonna whoop the Ravens.

Is it even possible to dislike these two teams?
