So glad the Steelers won today. We lost like 5-6 draft slots.

Chances are Minnesota gives up points before the half.

I'd like to see them keep Hampton and Foote if the price is right and Keenan Lewis has been good enough to keep around if his demands are reasonable. Mendenhall is a goner and I think Wallace's holdout won't be forgotten by the Rooneys (maybe he can be franchised and dealt?).

It would be a fun FOF offseason...

This win today was pretty much unforgivable with all of the holes we have on the squad. Hopefully we start by replacing the Head Coach, but that will never happen.

Already altered my post.

Crabtree is finally paying off this season. He's made huge strides forward this year

RedKingGold · 12-30-2012, 05:06 PM

Watch out for the Rams next year. If they have a solid off-season, they could be the favorite in the West.

mckerney · 12-30-2012, 05:09 PM

And after no one is within 15 yards of Greg Jennings the Vikings lead is only 3 early in second half.

Abe Sargent · 12-30-2012, 05:17 PM

There have been a lot of head coaches to find greater success in a second tenure - Coughlin, Belichick, Dungy, etc. Enough to keep retread names interesting. But I find that generally a guy who was fired was fired for a reason, and it's not time. Why is Josh McDaniel getting more attention for HC again after the Denver disaster? Why is Norv Turner still in the mix if he gets let go from San Diego. I'm still disappointed at the Mike Mularky hire by my Jaguars, he's not likley to be one of those guys to have a better second stint than the first.

Is Reid going to repeat his Philly success? I doubt it. For years, we've seen Reid make some questionable roster or game calls, but having McNabb saved him. I just don't buy it now.

RedKingGold · 12-30-2012, 05:17 PM

Kaepernick with a text book throw, he's going to be great after he gets a season or two under his belt.

Jas_lov · 12-30-2012, 05:29 PM

Ball was placed on the ground and was coming loose just before the knee hit. Inconclusive evidence, Packers ball. The refs missed one on the Ponder throw up for grabs, this one should go the Packers way.

stevew · 12-30-2012, 05:33 PM

64 yards away.

kingfc22 · 12-30-2012, 05:41 PM

Gore just set the SF franchise record for rushing TD's (51st)

kingfc22 · 12-30-2012, 05:41 PM

Come on Vikes. Niners need a bye week

kcchief19 · 12-30-2012, 05:42 PM

Not sure if you know this, but did you hear Brock Osweiller is 6-foot-8?

mckerney · 12-30-2012, 05:44 PM

Should be overturned and a Green Bay TD.

Coffee Warlord · 12-30-2012, 05:45 PM

Packers ball at the 1 inch line here. If the refs aren't bought off.

kingfc22 · 12-30-2012, 05:45 PM

That should be a GB TD

rowech · 12-30-2012, 05:47 PM

Down.

McCarthy's an idiot. His team had the ball and there was no reason to throw the flag. At least they got the TD. If it was up to these officials to make calls with no review GB would be down by 20 right now.

tucker rocky · 12-30-2012, 05:51 PM

Interesting call there in the GB game.

Matthean · 12-30-2012, 05:51 PM

Packers trying to Schwartz there way to a loss.

rowech · 12-30-2012, 05:51 PM

Fine they ruled a TD but this thing where it was already buzzed is the NFLs excuse to avoid this again. It's like watching wrestling sometimes.

you already blocked out the Peterson fumble that got overturned in the exact same way about 20 minutes ago that led to a minnesota TD, eh?

mckerney · 12-30-2012, 05:56 PM

All day to throw on 3rd and 12 and Ponder dumps the ball off to Gerhardt at the line of scrimmage. Classic.

bulletsponge · 12-30-2012, 06:07 PM

wtf?! Ponder with a bomb

RedKingGold · 12-30-2012, 06:08 PM

GO VIKINGS

sovereignstar v2 · 12-30-2012, 06:11 PM

Phil Loadholt is fucking garbage.

kingfc22 · 12-30-2012, 06:12 PM

Huge penalty there. Thank you Williams!

sovereignstar v2 · 12-30-2012, 06:12 PM

Thanks 38!

bulletsponge · 12-30-2012, 06:15 PM

ponder got lucky there, that should have been picked

sovereignstar v2 · 12-30-2012, 06:15 PM

Ponder pulled that one out of his ass!

Radii · 12-30-2012, 06:15 PM

Jas_lov · 12-30-2012, 06:27 PM

It's all set up for a Mason Crosby FG for the win.

hoopsguy · 12-30-2012, 06:29 PM

This Packers/Vikings game has been a really fun one to watch.

kingfc22 · 12-30-2012, 06:41 PM

I want to see AP win this game with a breakaway TD

Close enough!

kingfc22 · 12-30-2012, 06:45 PM

Woot! Bye week secured!

Hopefully Justin Smith will be ready to return in 14 days.

JPhillips · 12-30-2012, 06:45 PM

Nine yards.

Dickerson is drinking champagne tonight.

Too bad. Eric Dickerson was the first of the self-centered, world-class jerks that I had remembered.

Danny · 12-30-2012, 06:48 PM

Really wanted to see him take that last one the distance and break the record.

Funny as that's exactly how I remember him.

Buccaneer · 12-30-2012, 06:49 PM

MIJB, thanks for all of your scenarios work. You present it much more clearer than the so-called professionals.

Radii · 12-30-2012, 06:50 PM

Packers are going to smash the Vikings next week. Ah well, Bears and Giants both out of the playoffs? Today couldn't have gone better!

Danny · 12-30-2012, 06:50 PM

And I think Peterson deserves the MVP this year.
