Packers are pretty beat up on the OL and if they play like the did today against AZ we will have a pretty good shot at the division title.

I'd much rather stay in the 5 spot and play at Wash than win and play at home vs GB or SEA.

Wow I don't know who mailed it in more this game, the Giants secondary or 4th quarter Chris Collinsworth.

Oh, I wouldn't mind facing GB at home after whoopin' them at Lambeau. The Redskins aren't a cakewalk.

Beating them in consecutive weeks would be a great feeling. I'd rather focus on the positives than fear.

Is that right?

Man-- interesting options.

Half the options have us playing SEA in MN for a repeat of week 13.
If we lose, we get either GB or WAS-- almost seems the easier route.

If I have this right, we win next week, we host Seattle at home for round 1. If we lose next week, and Seattle wins, the GB hosts us for round 1. If we lose, and Seattle loses, then we go to Washington for round 1.

Seattle plays at Arizona next week, and Arizona still has something to play for in chasing the Panthers for the #1 seed.

I don't think that's possible any more.. GB beat SEA, so GB is still 10-6 if we win the division and the best SEA can do is 10-6 so all scenarios where we win next wee means we face SEA at home in the playoffs.

Well the good news is that we are the last game of the regular season so we will know exactly what happens if we win or lose. I'm sure Zimmer just wants the division, but man, playing in Washington looks way better than Seattle coming to town again unless they think Rawls is what gave them a huge advantage a month ago.

If tonight's game was a statement, winning next week would be a resounding shout from the hilltop.

It's kind of like Raider players and fans and the "Immaculate Reception". They're not fond of the hype for what was basically a lucky bounce to a lazy player.
Sorry, should have said 'non call'. Still complaining though. There were about 3 articles about the play in the Pioneer Press today. Mullaney (defensive lineman) claims he was held on the play which wasn't called and even Bob Lurtsema insists he was also held and no call. Staubach had a good come back for Lurtsema saying "Bob, no one ever needed to hold you.". Even Chuck Foreman chimes in and says if the Vikings had won that game then the Vikings would have been America's Team, not the Cowboys. Not sure where that logic comes from. The Vikings still made the Super Bowl 4 times in the 70's and the Cowboys only 2. Still have to win a few Super Bowls before you can ever be considered America's Team.

Great game for the Vikings, it was so good I'm going to watch it again without all of the distractions.
Heads up, NFL Network is replaying it in 10 minutes, will be 3am here in NY.
