Are you kidding me? What's the Vikings' record right now?

3-0 if it weren't for a stupid idea called the fourth quarter...

So I suppose we could say 1.5-1.5 to make ourselves feel better.

You forget, Farve broke almost every record a QB can brake (and almost every bone), Including the most games started in a row (which makes me wonder how he could brake every bone and still play?). But Manning could never do that.

This quote is completely false. Exactly what record did Favre break while he supposedly had a broken throwing hand?

lightningninja · « **Reply #77 on:** October 02, 2011, 06:08:23 PM »

He never said at the same time. He said he broke every bone, AND broke every record. He never broke his hand, per se, but has broken a foot, sprained an ankle, and broke a thumb.

The quote is still completely false, so I don't really see the point of defending it. Though I do agree, Favre was so good at breaking records he broke records of incompetance like most interceptions.

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #79 on:** October 03, 2011, 05:15:02 PM »

There is no doubt in my mind that Brett Favre is a future Hall of Famer, and deservedly so. I don't agree with the premise that he is the greatest ever.

However, I find it unnecessary to take cheap shots at Peyton Manning, while he's injured, using unsourced claims to attempt a comparison between Manning and Favre. There is no correlation between their past/present injuries and their ability to continue playing through such injuries. If one breaks the thumb on their non-throwing hand, but keeps playing, that is not even remotely a close comparison to the other breaking the thumb on his throwing hand and not playing.

So, now that (hopefully) this thread can go back to predict the current NFL season, I want to talk about my new favorite* team: The Detroit Lions. Their "never say die attitude" seems to be the exact opposite of my home team's "quit while we're ahead even with a half yet to play" attitude. How long will they go undefeated? 4-0? 7-0? 11-0? 16-0?

Who do you think will be the first team to beat them?

Chicago (Week 5)
San Francisco (Week 6)
Atlanta (Week 7)
@Denver (Week

@Chicago (Week 10)
Carolina (Week 11)
Green Bay (Week 12)
@New Orleans (Week 13)
Minnesota (Week 14)
@Oakland (Week 15)
San Diego (Week 16
@Green Bay (Week 17)
First loss is in playoffs
Perfect Season complete with Super Bowl rings

I predict that they lose when they head to Chicago in Week 10, but they'll be perfect until then.

*The Vikings are still my favorite team. They just haven't given me much to cheer for this season. Oh well. There's always next season, as they say (pretty much every year in MN).

They won't beat Green Bay so at most they make it to week 12 but honestly, I think Chicago will take them down one of the two times they play. Atlanta will be a tough one. So they'll lose one in one of the following weeks.

Chicago (Week 5)
Atlanta (Week 7)
@Chicago (Week 10)
Green Bay (Week 12)

if they make it to 12 and 0 i'll eat my own foot.

I don't think they'll beat Green Bay either, then again, they've surprised me the past two weeks (well, last week was less of a surprise and more of a sad, sad, confirmation of reality). I think they have the advantage over Chicago when at home, but Soldier Field only gets tougher to play in later in the season, and the Bears are not likely to give up a big lead, especially at home.

Honestly, though, I see them winning at least 12 games, and forcing the Pack to keep playing at their (unbelievably painful to watch) high level. The Thanksgiving matchup will probably be one of the greatest Thanksgiving games ever.

lightningninja · « **Reply #84 on:** October 03, 2011, 06:39:24 PM »

I think they'll make it to Green Bay without a loss. Up until then... it's looking like Calvin "Highlight reel" Johnson is going to be having some more 2TD games.

Seriously let's talk about that... 4 game in a ROW with 2 TDs? That's crazy.

My buddies and I watch football at my house since I have Sunday Ticket. Three weeks ago we were already talking about bandwagon Lions' fans. One of my buddies has been a true Lions fan for the past 40 years. He was raised in Flint, MI. Oddly, the bandwagon fans do not bother him. However, my other buddy is a die-hard Vikings fan. Bandwagon Lions' fans bother him. I just enjoy watching the banter between the two.

Professoralstad · « **Reply #86 on:** October 03, 2011, 07:02:46 PM »

Yeah, I'm about as much of a bandwagon fan as can be: at the nearest sign of a crumble, I will ditch them in a heartbeat. But I figure the Vikings are already four games behind in the NFC North, and their schedule only gets harder now that we lost to the one team we should have eaaily beaten. So the best way for the next best thing to a Vikings miracle turnaround to occur, that being a GB fail, is for the Lions to do well.

The Guardian · « **Reply #87 on:** October 03, 2011, 07:36:29 PM »

I'm not exactly rooting for the Lions but I'm definitely becoming a fan of Calvin Johnson. "Megatron" is hands-down the most dominant WR in the game right now (Wes Welker is talented, but I believe his success is more due to the system he plays in).

Being that the Vikings are out of contention, I'm now entirely focused on winning my fantasy football league so on any given week, I'm a fan of (or rooting against) about 16 different players...

Any time a 5'9" 180 lb. wide receiver can be named in the same breath as a 6'5" 235-lb. wide receiver, it's a victory for the little guy.

It's hard not to root for the underdog, unless they are playing your team.

Unfortunately, I will make my prediction that they lose to the 49ers at home. Their run is inspiring, but their weaknesses are glaring. I think SF has the system and personnel that will expose those weaknesses.

crustpope · « **Reply #89 on:** October 04, 2011, 10:31:58 AM »

I predict....

That Brady will break the single season passing record for yards
Welker will break the single season reception record for yards (and maybe touchdowns)
LeSean McCoy will be the rushing leader with 1600ish yards

and the colts will get the #1 draft pick

my life stinks because this was suppose to be the year that we win the superbowl...in INdianapolis

As a die-hard 49er fan since 1976, I hope you're right.

The Lions will go 15-1, not losing until week 14.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #92 on:** October 04, 2011, 02:29:09 PM »

The lions will go undefeated until the Ravens beat them in the superbowl.

First mentioned on page 2 of this thread. Of course, I've been using the nickname since the early 80's.
