Totally Wrong About Vikings!


JIvers

Recommended Posts

I've never been so happy to be so totally wrong about something! I predicted that the Vikings would lose 34-0 to the Packers today, and predicted a total Purple meltdown. Wrong! The Vikings came through, and sent the Packers home for the year, and at Lambeau no less! Awesome! You guys who kept the faith when I predicted doom were right, and I was wrong.

In my defense, I did say on this forum that if the Vikings had a chance, Favre would have to throw two or three interceptions...he had four. grin.gif I didn't think it would happen, though. And, the Vikings offense did not take advantage of the turnovers as they should have--it was actually the Viking defense that came through tonight.

Now, on to Philly. I never considered how the Vikings might do against the Eagles next Sunday, because I gave them no chance to beat the Packers. Who knows what might come now?

You and about a million other fans. But we watch these guys all year, how CAN we think otherwise. confused.gif

Offerd played a great game? Who expected that? Even Russell did something for the first time all year...

Not a fan of the Pack or the Vikes, but if I was, I wouldn't get to excited about the Vikings' win tonight. I think it had more to do with the statistical unlikelihood of defeating the same 8-8 team 3 times in one season than any superiority over the Pack. The Vikings' D sucks so bad, they wouldn't have had a chance if Favre wasn't tossing the ball straight to a purple jersey all afternoon.

Now if I was a Pack fan, I would be pretty upset right now--you got knocked out by an inferior team. And you had to watch that childish display by Moss. mad.gif

Gotta offer up Congratulations for the Vikings on the win over the Pack today. Pretty much the same type of game as the first two, except for the 4 interceptions Favre threw. Though to be honest the thing that bugged me most in the game was when Favre didn't put a shoulder down in that run at the end of the half, or at least get the first down and run out of bounds. I think a Favre of a few years ago wouldn't have flip the ball into the endzone. He clearly had to know he was past the line of scrimmage.

Who knows where the Vikes can take it from here. With TO out you never know. Unfortunately they Eagles have a lot better defense than the Packers(that's if you called that a defense). I thought when the Pack made it 24-17, if they would have held on defense the momentum would have carried the Pack to atleast tie the game. Didn't happen. Oh well. Good game by the Vikes and too many mistakes by the Pack. Good luck guys on the rest of the way. I'll be cheering for you.

Now here will be the big Packer question; will Favre come back for next year?

For all the KNOBS who say Culpepper never performs under pressure... The pack makes it 17-24 in the 4th quarter.. what does DC do??? Drives the ball down the field and sticks the dagger in the hearts of 72,000 frozen drunk dimwitted packer fans... OK, maybe their not all dimwitted. I heard he threw 11 TD's and NO interceptions against GB this year! Amazing since every game against the pack is pressure. grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯

      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
