| I'll be hoping the Vikings can pull off the win on Sunday but realistically they could lose their last four. Ponder is looking bad and teams will just stack the box and dare him to beat them through the air. |

| Its kind of sad that the "rivalry" part of the Packers-Vikings games has died. Not that they don't want to beat each other, they do, but there isn't that general distain for one another. You can see it when we play Atlanta, our players straight up hate their players. It's the same with us and Chicago there isn't that hatred like a Ravens-Steelers rivalry. The fans can hate eachother all they want, but when the players hate the other team thats when it becomes gold as a rivalry. |

As much as I dislike the Vikings (naturally), it'd be a sad, sad day if they ever left MN. Just horrible IMO.
Also, watching that video...Anthony Dilweg sighting.

| The rivalry briefly blew up when Favre was there and they were a very real threat. I really don't see it getting like that again for quite awhile, sadly. |

I despise when our players act all buddy buddy with division rivals.

Yeah, I don't want cheap shots and dirty play, but I do hate the buddy buddy bit as well. |

I don't dislike all of the players on our rivals, so I don't see a reason for the players to dislike all of their rivals either.
I mean, I always respected the hell out of Robert Smith and I think Kluwe is hilarious.
I want the Vikings to go 2-14 every year (splitting with the Lions and Bears) though. |

I'd like to see all our division rivals between 6-10 and 8-8. It puts them outside the playoffs, and outside the top 5 or so picks in the draft where they can get impact players. |

In a perfect world, I would see the Vikings, Bears, and Lions draft an endless parade of impact players and still end up 2-14 every year. |

That is about it right there.
Although to be fair, I'm not really afraid of any of the three's management, so they could be picking top 5 each year and still screw it up.

You know these conversations could be productive if you didn't end them with stupid comments like this.

Well said. Not going to lose sleep about those teams picking top 5. |

I will if they pick top 5. So far we have Megatron, Suh, Stafford and Kalil in the division that were picked in the top 5. I like those mid firsts like Cutler nd Ponder. |

Seriously. Imagine if any of those teams got their hands on a player like Luck, Griffin, Von Miller, AJ Green, Patrick Peterson, or Trent Richardson. Green on Vikings, Richardson on Lions, Miller on Bears. Yuck. |
