Jesus gently caress, Minnesotans are such fickle fans. I was pissed watching the game against the Packers, and admittedly turned it off at the AP fumble, but the response (not here in TFF) has been extreme. Terrance Newman was right that people are acting like it was ten losses, not one. Losing to the Packers sucks, but the Vikings are still likely a playoff team. Considering that most pre-season predictions couldn't bother to acknowledge an NFC North team not located in Wisconsin (except to discuss that an easy divisional schedule would probably give the Packers home field advantage throughout the playoffs), 7-3 and firmly in the wildcard spot is pretty drat good. A local news teaser for an upcoming segment on the 5-6 Gophers said that hopefully the Gophers can do better than "another team that plays at TCF". Everyone around here is so excited to be the first one to yell "SAME OLD VIKINGS" after the second time in ten games that they have looked really out of sync. I hate losing to the Packers, but it's always so black and white with these loving fans. It wouldn't be so annoying if it wasn't so predictable. The local bandwagon will fill up again if the team makes the playoffs. Then, when they don't win the superb owl, people will bitch about the most inane poo poo and act like we're going into next season with Ponder at QB, a defense full of retirees and underperformers, and a coach that emotes only slightly more than Jim Caldwell. poo poo's getting better, but it takes time.

These Vikings teams since 2010 just seem to have this weird mental block and keep making GBS threads the bed against Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers just absolutely owns them. Ugh, I was actually invested in baseball at that point to the tune of a 20 game pack at Target Field with some buddies for the first three or four years. Got to watch the team get lovely fast and see just how quickly the stadium went from sold out every game during the first season (they made the playoffs and went 3 and out to the Yankees), then less than half full by the later half of the second season when they fell off the map. It went from profiting on selling the tickets we couldn't use to literally not being able to give them away for free. Aaron Rodgers owns the entire NFC North, and I'm assuming it's for the same reason that in a live ammo situation he would absolutely decimate the Packers D after seeing them in practice multiple times a week. He knows the teams well enough and is a smart enough dude that he knows our poo poo. I think that record will be in the Vikings favor 2016 to 2020 (seasons, not counting the Week 17 game), although not as extremely as it is tilted towards the Packers right now. There is one guy that I work with who is a legit informed fan and probably belongs in TFF more than me, but the media and hivemind view is pretty damned bandwagony. Also, if we lose this game on a Blair Walsh missed FG I will be biting down on the cyanide capsule that I always keep in my cheek to avoid the wave of Gary Anderson jokes.
