1. Sure. Should be a barn-burner.
It usually is when these two teams square off. Whoever wins will have to score a lot of points. Final score: Winner 38, Loser 34.

6. not watching but listening
Im a sad, die-hard Vikings fan living overseas. I cant get the game on T.V. but Im listening to it (way to go Culpepper and Moe WIlliams!).

I have to agree with the rest of you, this team has mastered the art of choking. Still, what can one do? Rooting for them is ingrained, and so I will cheer them on until the last second once again (probably a Longwell field goal).

8. ahh the met
I was just a kid when the Vikes were outdoors, but in pushing for a new stadium, shouldnt they be pushing for an outdoor one? It doesnt seem to stop Packer fans from coming to the games, and the home field advantage is magnified, plus, most importantly, it gives a team more of an identity, and it gives its fans a kind of twisted macho pride.

oh well. Itll never happen.

11. "Nods" yah...
Vikings are on fire, I predicted the Packers to win... but The Vikings are showing they want this and they want this bad.. they don't want to suffer the Seahawk's fate and go 0-3 against the same team... and oh yah.. they want to advance in the playoffs.. that probably has something to do with it :)

13. You did say the Vikings are going to choke again, right?
I just saw Favre picked off for the fourth time today. When does the choking begin?

14. I guess the choking begins..
Next week :)

Game isn't over.. I predicted the Packs and I'm sticking with it..

But I'll admit... The Vikings have their number so far.

17. I'm rather enjoying watching Favre choke.
Is he colorblind? Or is his aim really that bad?

18. It's not just him...
True his three interceptions aren't helping.. but the offense itself keeps on bobbling the ball.. and fumbling about....

granted.. they do keep on recovering the ball when they fumble it.

19. That's true
Back when Green played for Nebraska, we called him Butterfingers. He still is. And the defense is playing for crap as well.

21. Moss moon
The Fox broadcaster was "appaled" and apologized on air.

31-17 Vikes, the clock is our friend.

23. He's such a class-less jerk
He made a touchdown and pretended to pull his pants down, mooned the crowed and rubbed his butt on the goal posts.

Moron.

26. His motto seems to be "There's no such thing as bad publicity"
What an idiot.

Of course, what really made me mad about the whole situation was Joe Buck's comment after he caught the first touchdown: that he had "redeemed himself" with that catch. Bullshit. Nothing he can do athletically has anything to do with his character.

24. After scoring touchdown, virtual moon
Moss walked to the goal post base and gave a virtual moon to the Packer fans.

He made the gesture of pulling his pants down, though never phyically moved them.

Blew a few "moral fuses" with the Fox commentator.

31. My husband works in an office full of Packer fans.
They rode him hard last week, and one of his coworkers agreed to wear a Vikings jersey all day on Friday if the Vikes won today. :)

37. Don't act so shocked,
the Packers won two games by a combined total of six points. These are two closely matched teams it was all a matter of who wanted it more!
