gently caress the Detroit Lions. People shouldn't feel bad for them, they self-inflicted Matt Millen on themselves. Also wasted Barry Sanders, and Megatron.

gently caress the Chicago Bears. Beating the Bears in the NFCCG on the way to a superbowl back in 2011 fuckin owned and made the superbowl run that much sweeter.


Most of all gently caress the Minnesota Vikings.



EDIT: Packers are cool and good.

gently caress the Packers, go Falcons



I think the Packers are due for a slow slide into mediocrity, to the point where fans are actually mad at Aaron Rodgers for not doing more to win. (like the Bears fans do with Cutler and the Cowboys did with Romo)

This needs to happen because
1. I love Cutler and
2. Historically the Packers do well when they have a former Bear at backup qb.


I love that he's wearing a Bears jersey under his coat.

Thread title needs to be changed to Dalvin Cook or maybe just Vikings in general. I really don't know of a team in any sport that's had legitimate hopes and dreams ruthlessly crushed time and time again.

I hope whichever team wins the superbowl has Kaepernick on their roster just for the pissing match when he turns down the trip to the WH.

I think all teams are avoiding the WH for now.

The Vikings are like Sisyphus, almost always having a quality teams that get up the hill but always come tumbling down in spectacular fashion. I say that realizing that the Lions have been stuck at the bottom of the hill under the rock.

Here's an interesting story on the origin of the best helmets in football (and the rest of the Vikings' uniforms) - apparently the reason their colors are purple and gold is from the University of Washington:

You should cross post this to the Farthouse. It's good stuff.

I don't think Sam is coming back but I think they'll sign both Teddy and Case. I really wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings drafted a QB somewhere in the first three rounds as well. The defensive starters are pretty much set except at DT. They'll need to restock the O-line and look at general depth but in a QB heavy draft why not take someone and let them sit for a bit?

It's weird that two of these are on the list solely because of their connection to Mike Zimmer,

The Vikes have a lot of stats that make you "Well that's impressive" a first round bye and what would seem to be a clear road to a home Superbowl and I can't help wondering how it's all going to go bad.

One of the last things the Vikings are moving from Winter Park to their new training facility is Korey Stringer's locker. They put plexiglass on it but otherwise have left it untouched since he last used it.

Guard was the biggest screaming need for the Vikes and I'm flummoxed that they didn't address it in the first.
