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

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
