The NFC North Champion Green Bay Packers

A stud MLB would've definitely made a huge difference.

The Fudge need to learn how to draft players that aren't so injury prone.

[hawgchaser]

I told my wife while watching the game that I was probably only one injury away from getting a call to come play defense.

[going4it]

The pack only had 6 more yards then the vikes did first quarter. Nicely done.

[LABS4ME]

I agree... Taking the Super Bowl runner up to the last play of the game is nicely done! I think they did better than anyone expected.... including myself.

Good luck!

Actually the game went exactly how it was supposed to San Fran was favored by two and a half to three and a half points and they won by 3.

I was a little surprised how san fran dominated the game and thought the 13th man "officials" would impact the out come more than they tried to do

[blue_healer_guy]

If the game was called like the rest of the season, its 14 rip after 2 posessions and its over. But not gonna be called that way, its green bay.

[FISHINGURU]

That's the difference an elite QB makes on a team, it would of been a blood bath without A Rodge.

So as Vikings fans we should be proud of this as well? I mean, we took the Falcons to OT, lost by a FG, they lost to Denver in the Superbowl. Lose to the eventual Superbowl runner up Giants 41-0 (granted not down the the last play, but we had a chance lol). Essentially had our shot at the end against the Saints and they won the Superbowl.

I guess I have been looking at this all wrong. At least, the packer fans have been telling me that all along, but now a Packer Backer is a glass half full type?

Oh the humanity. LOL

A 3-5 record at home the last decade has them grasping at straws just like the purple fans...

It was great to see a mobile QB take the game and use the conditions in his favor. Maybe the broken collarbone has #12 gunshy now??? He used to be able to break a play with his legs now and again.

If you're a Vikings fan you should be proud of whatever you can grab on to:

Vikings lead the league in 4th quarter touchdowns during bath time...SKOLL!!!

Vikings lead the league in least points allowed during the first 48 seconds of play...SKOLL!!! (this is kind of fun-anyone else care to add to Vikings pride)

A loss to a Packer fan is a temporary setback that will be corrected.

A loss to a Vikings fan is a chronic/terminal condition; there may be remission, but there is no cure

Nice spin cap'n Muskie... Too bad I was talking about last years SB runner up... Who is still a contender this year. Not the last decade's worth of SB teams

But as a Vikings fan you can also add to your ridiculous list, that you tied the Packers this year. They too won the super bowl in that time frame, if it works into your thinking and makes this season all the more successful for your team. But I'm sure the only thrill a MN fan has to gloat about the loss of the Packers in the playoffs... God only knows you will never have anything to actually root for. Have fun... I am a realist. Never felt the Packers would go far... I see their deficiencies... I will come on here and rip them for not addressing them...

I rarely rip on the Vikings or their fans... As a buddy of mine said, it's like picking on the 6 year old neighbor girl!

Good Luck!

An "L" is an "L" no matter how you look at it. Its the D that lost it and won it. GB needed a LB to contain Kaepernick. Look what happened without it...

Looks like an Erin Henderson type effort...

No no no. You are taking it too far. All of those comparisons were from the same year, not historical, so they apply quite directly because they lost to either the Superbowl Champ OR runner up in those NFC playoff matchups, unlike YOUR comparison when you are talking about what a team did LAST year. San Fran hasnt done anything YET. Though, they just might.

No doubt. It was clear they tried to hand them the game on a silver platter but the fudge just couldn't take it.

[DrJuice1980]

There were a lot of no calls both ways. Especially the pass interference no calls. The contact was way early on quite a few of those balls. Good to see them have to fight for it though.

well then, the vikes tied the team that took the superbowl runner up to the last play of the game. they must have been way better that i thought!!!

[CaptainMusky]

Priceless! The packers got to lose to last years runner up twice this year. What are the chances of that? That should be added to the trophy case.

[LABS4ME]

Yep... Waaaay better than you thought. Run with that.

Good luck!

Naaaa. We'll just add the North Div Champ trophy. Again. As usual.

Yeah the Fudge defense has more holes then Swiss Cheese.

Clay Mathews would of helped alot getting after Kaepy but he had a boo boo on his finger.

Y'all be careful now. Kluwe might read this and tweet some nasty retort...

Though, I s'pose it's nice you said "swiss cheese" there instead of say... "Jenna Jameson" when referring to how many holes something has.

[CaptainMusky]

When you unwrap the cheese its a mystery how many holes it has. With Jenna not so much. ;-)

[fishersofmen]

In all seriousness why didn't Mathews play? Those guys play all the time with a hard cast on the hand what happened there.....
