Vikings Suck

Don't care.

It's about us, not them.

I noticed that there is a lot of flak out there on the net from Viking fans that say the "packers haven't played anyone yet".  We only "play losing teams".  Etc.  So I have only 2 things to say about that:

 

1. Comparing (from the Packer point of view) 6-0 teams on GBs schedule with the Vikings in terms of average opponent winning % you get this:

For MN (4-2) = .357 (but if you remove Denver (MN best opp) it is .228)

For GB (6-0) = .353 (remove STL (Pack best opp) it drops to .324)

For DEN (6-0) = .337 (remove MN (DEN best opp) it drops to .271)

For CAR (6-0) = .365 (remove SEA (one of CAR best opp) it drops to .352)

Conclusion: CAR has the toughest road to hoe by this measure.  And their opponent winning % holds value (relatively speaking) even if you eliminate their best opponent.  The Vikings have the weakest average opponent winning % overall. DENis only slightly better.  The Packers have the most stable average opponent winning %. 

 

2. If the Viking fans raged at their ownership like they do Packer fans maybe things in MN would change.  But that would take work - something they don't like to do evidently. 

 

There is a reason the Vikings suck - and maybe it starts with their fans.   

You play a lot of losing teams when you beat them all.

 

Spermhead fans have morphed into stat/strawman trolls to compensate for the constant state of failure.

I rarely read this thread to avoid the risk of picking up any innernet viruses but really Hank, what else do they have?

Vikings fans are still sore at San Fran for not using anal lube to open the season.

Our first head to head meeting on Nov. 22nd will shut up those sniveling a-holes

Boris locked the Vernon Davis thread as a reminder that somebody should bump this one up to the first page.  Because the Vikings always suck.

still sucking:

Vikings receiver Cordarrelle Patterson has two catches for 10 yards and one carry for nine yards so far this season. He’s puzzled by that, but not frustrated.

I'm not puzzled. Charles Johnson (injured) & Stefon Diggs & Mike Wallace are real WR's w/Kyle Rudolph a decent TE.

 

Look in the mirror Cordarrelle.....you'll find the UN-puzzlement

and the vikings will still suck.

Speaking of sucking, Gerg Jennings has 10 catches 104 yards O TDs. And has officially lost his starting job to Kenny Stills.

 

Wooof.

Greg should come to Green Bay & lead the league in TD catches.

Okay, here's another  prediction from the Bold one.   Queens lose this week. 

SI NFL Power Rankings

 

#4 Vikings

#8 Packers

Lol, SI power rankings

The write up next to the ranking says even though they havent beaten anyone over .500 and the margin of those wins is just 5, coach, Mike Zimmer has made a lasting imprint.

 

ok....

 

squeaked by a collection of mediocre to bad teams, that puts them at #4 

They'll lose @OAK this weekend.

 

 

I concur.

Ditto

I don't know. I think the Vikes have had a horseshoe up their butts so far this year. They should have lost a couple other times, but managed to eke out a win (see Chicago, KC). I can see them losing at Oakland, but then I also saw them losing to the Rams. The NFC seems like a crapshoot this year.

Vikings remind me of the Bares teams of years gone by.  Mediocre teams, at best, but they have the proverbial horseshoe up their arse.  Think of the 2001 Bears especially.  Every bounce went their way that season.  Last week Peterson fumbled 2 plays in a row, they recovered both.  The Rams elected to go for 2 early in the game due to high winds.  They blew the try and wound up losing in overtime.  

 

The week before they had no business beating the Bares.  

 

Teddy 2 Glove has 6 TDs and 6 picks....through 8 games.  The QB situation with that team has been so terrible over the years they actually think this is good.  Meanwhile a QB they passed on, twice, has 19 and 4 (Derek Carr).  

 

I think you are all being a little hard on the Vikings.

 

Who are you?

Nothing against the players necessarily, but it's the queen fans that suck.

Makes me giggle to think of their franchise history and how their envy makes them so crazy!

 

 

Go home, ChilliJon...you're drunk!

Drunk? Maybe it's somethin else...

The season starts Sunday. Beat Detroit then then beat beat all 17 pounds of ear wax out of this goofy looking ****. 

 He said hard on!

little

Yep I see a ton of comments from spermheads fans that they have played this hard as hell schedule and the Packers haven't played anyone.  Over the course of the year both teams with I think 2 different games play almost the same schedule. 

 

And as for the power rankings I could give two craps that they are ranked above the Packers.  This isn't college football where you are trying to impress a committee or voters you play the game on the field. 

 

Every game the Vikings have had has been vs. the 70's Steelers & 80's Niners.

 

They haven't had to play the '96 Packers yet

 No doubt the Queens have played the tougher schedule. They have played Detroit twice, you know?

I'm always careful to discount teams based on quality of opponent. In any given year, approximately 80% of the league is average to crap. Likewise, you could argue most games come down to a handful of plays, and winning close games is preferable to losing them.

 

That said, I don't think this MIN team is ready to have they asses crowned just yet. With both teams at their best, I think the Pack win convincingly. Now if they could only find where that darned "best" went...

Not always about who you play, but when you play them.

 

Common opponents through 8 games:

SDG - W for both

CHI - W for both

KAN - W for both

STL - W for both

DEN - L for both

SFO - W for GB, L for MN

 

Un-common

GB is 1-1 vs SEA and CAR

MN is 2-0 vs DET

 

 

2nd half of the season

 

MIN has  @GBP, @ARI, @OAK, @ATL... home vs GBP, SEA, CHI, NYG

GBP has  @MIN, @ARI, @OAK, @DET... home vs MIN, DET, CHI, DAL 

 

The Queenie defense has been beating the crap out of QB's. Ask Pat Statford. The Packers have a banged up offensive line.They are going to have to play way better than they have been if GB is going to win convincingly like some have stated here. I haven't seen good pass protection since like week 3.

Yah, I don't like our chances against the Queens. Not at Minneapolis, anyway.

Vikings are 47-53-2 in their Super Bowls.

The Packers remaining schedule is easier than MN but as is always the case you have to win the head to head games against each other.

The Vikings are improved but I am still not sold they are for real just yet.
