NFC Wild Card Weekend: Minnesota Vikings (6) @ Green Bay Packers (3)

[gopher_guy]

People are seriously questioning the Vikings-Packers rivalry? Might not be as intense as Packers-Bears for some fans, but Packers fans hate the Vikings and their fans just as much as they ever did, in my experience, and vice-versa

I think the rivalry is all well and good.

Sounds like how Maryland fans think there's a rivalry with Duke in college basketball (while Duke fans don't know the last time Maryland has won that game).

When was the last time the Vikings beat the Packers again then?

Eh, the Bears/Packers is closer to me, plus, it's been longer too.

I don't hate the Vikings or their fans, same with Bears fans, it's all good fun. Heck, cousins new hubby is a Bear fan, he was welcomed to the family and took it all in stride.

I guess I should have said "love to hate"

I don't hate the Packers. I just love to hate them

Who cares? They won... doesn't make it a rivalry. A division rivalry but not what you want it to be, no matter how much you try to force it (just like Maryland fans with Duke).

If you're saying the Vikings Packers rivalry isn't a well known rivalry than you're just idiotic.

As Packers fans have mentioned, not enough has happened to say the rivalry is renewed.

And insult another member of OS and you'll be discussing the game elsewhere.
