Oh boy, they should have never started going on about how Farve had the greatest November in the history of the NFL.
Soon as they did, I told my wife they're gonna jinx him!

They don't fall apart, Childress doesn't allow them to do ****. When AZ scored to be up by 20 points, with a little over 7 minutes left, the longest pass chilly went with was 7 yards.

How are you suppose to win? And the onside kick, are you freaking kidding me?

Vikings are a good team, and Favre is having a good year, for a zombie, but they have too many chinks nobody likes to talk about.

not to mention that the vikings have had the easiest schedule in the history of sports (and that includes "football factory" college teams that rig their schedule with cupcake opponents and more home games than away ).

the only teams they've played that have winning records thus far are: Green Bay (twice), Baltimore (who they beat by only 2 points at home), and Arizona who just beat them.

they also lost to an uninspiring steelers team and beat the mediocre 49ers with a last second hail mary.

going by the current records of their opponents, their average opponent has a winning percentage of 38% which translates to a 6-10 team.

my guess is that they lose next week to the bengals and the rest of the country figures out that they are frauds (at least a little bit, they obviously don't suck, but they're not as brettfavrebrettfavrebrettfavrebrettfavre)

Vikings = over-rated
Cardinals = under-rated

This was also a dual between two very experienced QBs, each with one SB championship.

Who said the Cardinals had bad supporters?

Hm...

Why are the vikings over-rated? Nobody talks about them. Sportscenter only mentions the Saints in passing or when they're comparing them to the colts.

Yes, so? Been supporting the Cards since 1998, when I moved here.

People here have bumper stickers that say "Cowboy fan? Take I10 East and drive" (and so on).

What is YOUR location?

Nobody? Obviously, the undefeated teams will lead the conversation as they always do, but every show I've listened to up through Friday had the Vikings very much in the conversation as a close #3.

Vikings have always lacked sizzle, balance and endurance.

We gave up our season tickets - now have free time and loot.

At least they're better than the cheezepack

Their peak was when they colonized Iceland and established trade routes through Russia to Constantinople.
