Haha, if you think this makes the VIkes the team to beat up north, you are gonna be in for a rude awakening.
Somehow after the legend retired we still ended up with the best qb in the NFC North. And the best coach. And the best O-line, and a good Defense.

Heck, we could have beaten you once last year with NO qb at all. 34-0.

My woooooooooooo was out of respect. No more "Great" QB to thrash us every year.

I'm not delusional about my Vikes. Might want to rethink Best QB and Best O-Line, don't be a total homer. Fragile QB might be the best QB, key word might, and that doesn't say anything. Bears don't know what they have, any QB could have good numbers with Detroits WRs and TJ is a top 3 crappiest QB. The Best O-Line, I hope this is what you think for the NFC North only and that's even debatable within the division.

I Believe the Vikes Thrashed the Super Bowl champs, I'm forgetting what happened to the Pack vs. The Champs.

Ok, let's not go back to who has won more Super Bowls.

yes, I am talking about the NFC north. The question is, which giants team did the vikings beat? The super bowl champs, or their regular season impersonators the first half of the season? Because the packers trashed them too.

Is week 12 the first half of the season?

One thing a Vikes homer can say that a Packer homer cannot. A Vikes homer can admit when his team stinks, a Packer homer would never do that. The Vikes sucked last year and they are still aways from fixing that. Here's hoping the #1 QB in the NFC North doesn't stub his toe getting out of bed.

Not saying the Packers suck, but being in the NFC North last year definitely didn't hurt their record. Some would say it was inflated by a win or two. 11- 5 is still a good season, but that 15-1 season is nothing but a failure in Viking country(I think I remember the record the Vikes had that year against the Pack ). Can't imagine the pain Packer Fans are having with that dreadful loss and now with the retirement.

Yes, week 12 is the part of the season I was referring to. What the heck does 15-1 have to do with anything? Personally, I never was really beat up about the loss. We got outplayed at home and the game was closer than it should have been. We dropped passes, turned the ball over, didn't adapt our coverage, and didn't capitalize on opportunities. It was a bad game, but not a heartbreaking loss. The giants didn't steal that game, they beat us straight up and then almost blew it at the end. I see no reason the packers still aren't the team to beat in the North, and we're still a contender in the NFC at large.

Week 12 is not the first half. But I do understand that you are saying anyone could throttle the Giants, Including the Packers

Beating the crappy Vikes of last year was not an accomplishment. I know there are a few Vikes fans with their heads in the sand in regards to last year's team. The Vikes were not as good as their record.

Back to Favre. It was a great run and It only waters down the division. Favre retiring will not make the NFC stronger. I know, I know; Profound statement.

I'd like to hitch my wagon on Rodgers just a little more than any of the remaining QBs in the NFC North and that should speak volumes on how pathetic the NFC QBs are.


Edit: The Pack is the Team to Beat in the NFC North. Rodgers stays healthy that is. 10, 11 wins if healthy. 6 to 9 without and that's only because the Lions and the Bears.
