2011 official Subsim NFL thread

[nikimcbee]

Twas the day after the the Barakolypse,
all the subsimmers were stirring
for something different to fight about.

That ol McBee, up to no good,
created the annual football thread.
Tis that time again for a grand route.

Neal wears his Silver and Black
but has the "Texans" on his back.:o
Prediction; the Raiders will cause gout.

The vikes, hit the goodwill to find a QB
and that really pisses off Mr Mcbee
another year with a bop on the snout.

Then there's those damn cheezeheadz,
with their green and gold mullets.
But those wisconsin riots, they'll be 0-18, then out.

AVG's nemisis, those big bad Steelers
will probably dominate those old Ravens;
And AVG still says "That Roethesberger is no boy scout."

The dolphins eye the Fav-ray
but will rue the day
Brett flops around like a rainbow trout.

The lions...
nevermind

Bring on the season...

[CaptainHaplo]

Dont forget the Panthers in Blue, Silver and Black.
After 2-14, they will get no slack,
A new HC, a new QB, but still starting a Pickle?
Still - as a fan we will never be fickle.

We have some talent that could make us a threat
What the record will be, I do not want to bet
TC shows some high draft picks are on the bubble,
But its all good because we will see the return of Double Trouble.

A word about the last original Cat,
When told to pack, his eye didn't bat.
He took it with class and wrote a thank you letter
To all the fans, John Kasey - there never was a better!:salute:

[mookiemookie]

The Texans, as usual, promised much
The offseason brought defensive upgrades and such
I sit here with my fingers crossed,
Hoping John Joseph was worth the cost
And that we find a way to quit losing in the clutch

[Growler]

The Iggles still field Michael Vick.
It must be some sick kind of trick.
How that guy, the clown,
Is still working the town,
While instead, they gave Akers the kick.

[fred8615]

I wish that I could,
Write a poem that was good.
About my favorite team,
The Saints of my dreams,
But I'm not really in the mood.


:D

[nikimcbee]

It all starts tonight...

How in the hell did Bieber get in this thread?

[AVGWarhawk]

The Ravens play the Eagles. I'm told the Eagles are being hailed as the "Dream Team." :hmmm:

[Growler]

...the Eagles are being hailed as the "Dream Team." :hmmm:

They're starting their cheerleaders?

[TarJak]

Prepared for Faiders to fail again :damn:

[Torplexed]

Ahhhh, the preseason. The only things that count are the injuries. :doh:

[August]

The Pats looked pretty good tonight! :up:

http://home.comcast.net/%7Erdsterling/pwpimages/nfl-pats-glitter.gif

[nikimcbee]

Preseason, week one done. Any thoughts? I watch part of the Seachicken game in a bar at Long beach, WA and missed all of the Viking game. (sounds like I didn't miss much)

I have an opportunity to see the vikes-seachickens game next week. The question is; do I want to pony up ~$300 buck to see the starters for 5 min?:doh::dead: (game ticket, train ticket, hotel) would be fun though.:hmmm:

[August]

First quarter and already my Pats are up 21 zip on TB. I think this year be berry berry good for me! :up:

[AVGWarhawk]

Ochocinco is going to be a high maintenance pain in the arse for the Pats.

[AVGWarhawk]

Going to M&T Stadium tomorrow. Preseason with KS City Chiefs.

[August]

Ochocinco is going to be a high maintenance pain in the arse for the Pats.

Well maybe or maybe not. But we've had problem children before. Either he'll get with the program or Belichick will have him warming the pine.

Meanwhile I must say they are looking scary good right now.

[AVGWarhawk]

I don't see Ochocinco getting with the program. The Pats don't play with showboaters. Any who changes their name to a different language to match his jersey number has a problem of being self glorifying. Besides, another player has the #80. I just don't see him making it through the season.

[Growler]

I wish the Pats better luck with Ocho than the Iggles - or everyone else, for that matter - had with Sir Terrell.

[nikimcbee]

Vikes win. oh wait. preseason. I almost went to this game but whimped out.

[AVGWarhawk]

I made our preseason game. I'm glad to say there was no gun play and or fights. We can't say the same for other game.

Here I sat slowly drinking my Bud Light...

It was nice to see our new additions play the first half. Flacco's throwing game. I don't think he has one...:shifty:

[nikimcbee]

there was no gun play and or fights

Who do you think you are, the Raiders?:dead::haha:

[AVGWarhawk]

Who do you think you are, the Raiders?:dead::haha:


Did you ever? It is a game and a preseason game at that. Let's see...football, beer and skyrocketing testosterone...not a good combo! :doh: What was good family entertainment is now a stadium chair match.

[nikimcbee]

I missed all the football this weekend. I was at "the boat.";)

[AVGWarhawk]

I was on a boat this weekend. The W.M. Tennison

http://www.thebaynet.com/images/news/full/2F479D3CA4A7EE0F6100642F5FC51957.jpg


:DL

[nikimcbee]

You had me at "Marine museum." That looks like some sort of classic boat. What is it?

[AVGWarhawk]

The Tennison was built in 1899. She was a working boat plying the waters of the Chesapeake looking for oysters. She was also a ferry for awhile.

I also learned about S-49 that was sunk at Solomon Island for use in practicing submarine rescue.

Following repairs, S-49 resumed operations off the New England coast, and in January 1927, moved south, with USS S-50, for exercises and tests off Key West, Florida, the Dry Tortugas, and in Tampa Bay. On 12 March, she returned to New London, whence she completed a run to Portsmouth and back before proceeding to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with S-50, for inactivation. Arriving on 31 March, she was decommissioned on 2 August and berthed with other reserve ships at League Island until struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 21 March 1931 in accordance with the London Naval Treaty. S-49 was sold to the Boston Iron and Metal Company of Baltimore, Maryland, on 25 May 1931. Reduced to a hulk by that company in 1936, but not scrapped, the hulk was apparently reacquired seven years later, "as equipment," for use in experimental work at the Naval Mine Warfare Proving Ground, Solomons, Maryland. Shortly after being towed to Solomons from Baltimore (where the Navy had reacquired the submarine), the former S-49 foundered off Point Patience in the Patuxent River on 16 December 1942 and sank in 102 feet of water at: Position: Latitude 38 Degrees 19' 53.2" North Longitude 76 Degrees 29' 17.2" West or, on a bearing of 318.5 Degrees True, distant 525 yards, from the southern tip of Point Patience. The S-boat has remained on the bottom at that position to the present day...and is visited, on occasion, by Navy and recreational divers. Courtesy of R. S. Rayfield, Jr. Major, USMC (Ret)

[Growler]

I confess to being pleasantly surprised by the performances today from the Ravens and the Eagles both. Ravens' D did nicely.

[mookiemookie]

Now that's the way for the Texans to start a season!

[AVGWarhawk]

I confess to being pleasantly surprised by the performances today from the Ravens and the Eagles both. Ravens' D did nicely.

The two top wide receivers for the Steelers are ED REED and RAY LEWIS. :har::har::har::har::har:

[fred8615]

NO could do nothing with GB offense.
Yeah, but GB's defense wasn't too hot either.

[nikimcbee]

It's pretty sad, when your QB rating number is higher the the number of yards passed in a game.:dead::stare:

I hope the vikes saved their reciept:damn:.:shifty:

[Takeda Shingen]

Yeah. This is why Philadelphia and Washington don't want McNabb anymore. Minnesota has become the place where washed-up quarterbacks go to retire.

Tonight it's monday nite game. STL Vs NYG

No They showed the intire PHI Vs ATL game. They don't have this "red zone" They (Danish TV2Sport HD) send a weekly program about the weeks NFL and it's before the monday night football.

Altso The dansish TV3+ HD are airing NFL matches.

I know this is the NFL-thread

But soon the NHL starts-I love Ishockey as much I love NFL.

Even thou I Like to see a good Football match, there's a some rules, that I really haven't got the hang of. Such as 2nd and 6 or 3rd and 5. I know the basic rules.

NO! I haven't got a favorite. A good game is enough for me.

Edit
My first NFL match was the Superbowl event. I can't remember the year, but Chicago Bear was the one of the two competant and they won with something like 42-?? So Chicago Bears is a kind of my favorite.

[RickC Sniper]

FIRST DOWN

All progress in a football game is measured in yards. The offensive team tries to get as much "yardage" as it can to try and move closer to the opponent's end zone. Each time the offense gets the ball, it has four downs, or chances, in which to gain 10 yards. If the offensive team successfully moves the ball 10 or more yards, it earns a first down, and another set of four downs. If the offense fails to gain 10 yards, it loses possession of the ball. The defense tries to prevent the offense not only from scoring, but also from gaining the 10 yards needed for a first down. If the offense reaches fourth down, it usually punts the ball (kicks it away). This forces the other team to begin its drive further down the field.

A 3rd and 5 means it is the team's 3rd attempt to advance the ball 10 yards. So far, they have advanced it 5 yards.

http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/beginnersguidetofootball

I like Ishockey too. :ping:

[mapuc]

Thank you RickC Sniper.

I have start reading everything on the NFL Beginners...

Thank you

Edit
One thing is knowing the rules and how the game is played, an another thing is to understandt the psychological part of the game and the ordinary americans. Is the local newspaper filled with in deep stories and all that, before their hometeam is playing??? and is USA on standstil when it's Superbowl??

No favorite team but it is fun to try to predict the outcome beforehand.

I like the Skins tonight. Romo is playing with cracked ribs, Witten is playing hurt, Austin is out injured. If Romo gets belted a couple of times he probably won''t last through the game.

Dallas (http://www.belmont.com/sports-news/monday-night-football-washington-vs-dallas-1007167/)
26th September 2011 in NFL Betting (http://www.belmont.com/sports-news/nfl-betting/)
Washington (+3.5) @ Dallas (-3.5); Total set at 45


This week’s MNF game features two historic rivals that really have no love for one another. Dallas and Washington have been playing in heated battles for years, so it is tough to see that tonight’s game will be any different. Washington has been a surprise story this year heading into this one at 2-0 and would love to really take an early upper hand in the NFC East division with a win here. Dallas is hoping that many of their banged up stars (Romo, Bryant, Jones) are able to go well enough to be solid contributors in this game and early information has them all ready for tonight.

[mapuc]

Washington (+3.5) @ Dallas (-3.5); Total set at 45

I'm trying to figure out how to read that. It's quit different from our way of betting

Here's an example

Italy-USA(Rugby) 1 x 2
1.85 15.00 1.85
(if you bet 100 bucks and it's a draw you win 100x15=1500 cool cash)

you can also place a bet on the result and so on.


Markus


1.85 (javascript:openGame('/DTCF/games/ODDS/play.do#gameId=LNGN&subMenu=a&coupGameId=LNGN&coupRows=693523,257,LONGLIST,1,0',920,570);)
15.0 (javascript:openGame('/DTCF/games/ODDS/play.do#gameId=LNGN&subMenu=a&coupGameId=LNGN&coupRows=693523,257,LONGLIST,X,0',920,570);)
1.85 (javascript:openGame('/DTCF/games/ODDS/play.do#gameId=LNGN&subMenu=a&coupGameId=LNGN&coupRows=693523,257,LONGLIST,2,0',920,570);)

[RickC Sniper]

Washington favored by 3.5 points. So if you bet Washington they need to win by 3.6 or more because you need to cover the spread.
Bet on Dallas and if they lose by 3 you still win your bet.

The 45 it total points by both teams you can simply bet over\under that number.

[geetrue]

I'm just going to take a wild guess here that Dallas will defeat Washington even though they try to give it away in the first half, but they will win in the end with a defenseive move on Grossman (who is no stranger to dumb plays) that results in a fumbel making it impossible to win or tie in the wanning moments of the monday night game.

It doesn't make any difference that this is two days later however. :salute:

Bearz V Team Newton.

Hopefully da bearz will soak down the field before the game.:haha:

Steelers V Texans.
If the Steelers D is as "old" as the pundits say it is, could be a long game for them.

Queens v KC
See last weeks results:shifty::dead:
ahead by 20, then go out to dairy queen for blizzards at half time.....and never return.

Raiders v Pats
Something is wrong with my monitor, it says Raiders are 2-1:hmmm: Need to clean screen.

Cheezheadz v Team Tebow

:hmmm::haha:

Watching Steelers Vs Texan Right now.

I have no favor in this game, may the best team win.

Later on, this evening, it's Raiders Vs patriots
Same here.

Tonight's game will show if the Pat's can play against a really physical team defense. The Bills did it, so it will be interesting.

It's refreshing to see the Texans not be the Texans and hold on to a lead late in the game. :woot:

It happens rarely, sometimes strategically it is beneficial, like to force a team to score a touchdown (6pts) rather than a field goal (3pts). Other times it's done to stick it up another teams rectum. Other times it can put your team ahead with a very little time left in the game.

All a 2 point conversion is, is a play from 2 yards out (6 feet, slightly less than 2 meters)
The only reason it is hard is because the defense knows what you are doing and plays you accordingly.

Hard to explain so it makes sense to someone who don't see it alot.

I had only red about it, but never seen it myself. In the rules of football, it stated that it was very rare. That's why I asked.

And as you wrote " Hard to explain so it....)


If, after scoring a touchdown you are behind by 5 it would be a time it might be wise to go for 2.

If you don't make it you need a TD to win. If you DO make it you are only behind by 3.....and a field goal can then tie the game for you.

Just kicking the extra point in that situation accomplishes nothing because you still trail by 4, so you still need a TD to win.

True

If I was a coach and my team was 4 point behind ,after our touchdown and only a few minutes remain of the last quarter...why not, my team have nothing to loose.

I disagree. Kick the extra point and pull to within 3. A field goal then ties the score. A field goal is MUCH easier to get than a TD.
If you don't get the 2 point (likely) you would need a TD or you lose.

Love the Texans! Poor Ben limped off the field.


Go Ravens! It was a strange game last night for the Ravens and Jets. :hmmm:

So any Eagles fans still feel like talking that dream team mess?
The real USA basketball dream team blew people out by 60 points. But the Philly version loses to the Giants and the 49ers.

Barry Sanders quit a few yards shy, letting Emmit Smith break Paytons record. Detroit was shortchanged when he did that. Barry did it with a bad offensive line, where Emmit had all 300 pounders..Boooooo!

Need some info on some words

http://www.nfl.com/standings?sort=OVERALL_NET_PTS&order=desc&colSel=6

There's a few words I really do not understand what they mean

PF
PA
Net Pts
Road
conf
Non-conf
Streak
Last 5

Thanks in advanced.

Markus

[mookiemookie]

PF - "Points for" - how many points the team has scored in total across all games
PA - "Points against" - how many points the teams opponents have scored against them, in total across all games
Net Pts - Simply the difference between the above two
Road - The team's record while playing games on the road, away from their home stadium
conf - The team's record while playing games against other teams in their conference
Non-conf - The team's record while playing games against other teams NOT in their conference
Streak - How many games they've won or lost in a row
Last 5 - Their record over the past 5 games

Philly has none of this:

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT10sdsWznoVHzq9vc_IgvqwrX_bM8Tg zL6ug95JHPpRHMcRSFk

Buffalo is not who we thought they were, they look for real, despite last week's debacle.

If Stafford can stay healthy the Lions will do well, Johnson is a monster.

The Ravens continue to impress ( plug for you AVG ), just when you think they are getting to old...

Pittsburgh on the other hand does look old.

Romo is well, Romo.

The Texans may actually avoid a mid-late season collapse this year, they finally have a defense.

New England needs to find a defense, or some resemblance of it. Though the same could be said for many teams this year.

Oh yeah, how bout them Packers :yep::rock:

No, it's Reid. Has been Reid for a long time. He's had problems with McNabb. Problems with Vick. Problems with Kolb. Problems with Owens. Problems with Jim Johnson. Problems with Morninweg. And, as they say, if the problem is with everyone then the problem is probably not with everyone.

Oh, and can we please keep the political garbage out of the NFL thread? I don't care about the Monday Night Football theme song; it has no real bearing on the league. Besides, the ESPN broadcast team is terrible; making those games painful to watch.

Sorry. Your right. I was responding to an earlier post. (As with the Hank Williams thing at least) I like Hank ;P

The Eagle players kinda brought in on themselves with the dream team stuff . Being a New York Yankee fan I know about the best team money can buy, and know that said team can be beat by the Anaheim Angels or the Tampa Bay devil Rays...Even the Detroit Tigers.

I have to disagree on Reid. He has kept you competitive every year. He made the best with what he was given, year in and year out, and made a good show of it.
Look at my beloved 49ers if you want to see a franchise that don't care. Until they got Harbaugh it was pandemonium (Like 2 monkeys screwing a football) Although I agree on Mcnabb. He was the greatest QB Philly has seen.

I watched Mcnabb break his ankle early in a playoff game not too long ago
he missed a few plays and came back in and played like a champ, a man.

He threw 3 tds I think and still rushed a bit on a bad axle.

The frustrating thing is that they're a good team, but never a great team. They have lots of great players. Andre Johnson, Owen Daniels, Arian Foster and Mario Williams are some of the best in the league, but they just seem to have a mental block. I usually hate Dan Dierdorf, but he said something I totally agree with today: "If NFL games lasted 45 minutes, the Texans would be undefeated." It's so true. And I don't know if it's coaching or what, but these guys just seem to collapse under pressure and give up the big plays in the 4th quarter.

Ah well. I'll drink to that.

Texans have nothing to be ashamed about with yesterdays performance. Our defense is one of the best in the league. Let's face it, when the word "physical" is looked up in the dictionary it states, "See Raven's Defense." Furthermore, the Texans offense is very good. Our defense was having trouble standing them up off the line. I think one of the best receivers on the Texans team was not playing yesterday. It was a damn battle from start to finish. We had two chances to score 7 but settled for 2. This means the Texans defense is damn good. With that said, the Ravens since the Super Bowl have been a good team. This year, as Flacco comes into his own and a few more receiving threats, is a great team. Texans are certainly a team to watch this year and the upcoming seasons. :yep:

But Tom Brady is a monster. I read a stat saying they never won until he showed up..Forget Bill Bellichek.. It's all about Brady..

Love the team or hate the team, just enjoy every throw the man makes. You are looking at historical greatness.

I understand your thinking, but it should be noted they didn't let Brees continue his NFL record streak of 350+ passing yard games, pulling him 25 yards short of 350. By not letting him get another such game when he easily could have shows some class.

I heard them take Brees out so not to seem as if they are "pouring it on" (which is bad NFL etiquette)

Then first pass the Colts threw the next drive was picked off and ran back for a Touchdown...

Plus the announcers were bagging the colts so bad, hilarous.

From Yahoo:

The creator of Tebowing did say that Tebowing was (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Introducing-Tebowing-It-8217-s-like-planking-?urn=nfl-wp10549) "for people of all types." In the truest spirit of brotherhood, that must includes even players who sack Tim Tebow (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/24000/)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/24000/news).
After Detroit Lions (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/det/) linebacker Stephen Tulloch (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7865/)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7865/news) dragged Tim Tebow for a loss, he put his own spin on Tebowing.

Water rises to its own level. Flacco is Kyle Orten. They are pretty much interchangeable. You will see that with Matt Ryan soon enough. He has a wealth of targets, yet is inconsistent. Tony Romo is the great Houdini, pulled the wool out from the entire league. There was a reason he went to Eastern Illinois. Shucks, Jay Cutler, my beloved Bears savior, might just be the 2nd coming of Jeff George.

[soopaman2]

49ers are now 6-1.

The media still treats them like they are 1-6.

I bet Sportscenter will have 20 minutes on Tebow and will gloss over the highlights of the Niners.

Denver stinks and they treat Tebow like he's the genetic splicing of Tom Brady and Jesus Christ...Unbelievable.:06:

The Panthers lost yet again - this time showing why we should have never let John Kasay go.....

We need a crying smiley (talk about an oxymoron) to properly convey my feelings on that game.

I always had a softspot for the Panthers. If George Siefert thought they were good enough to coach, then they are OK. (even if he was fired after a 1-15 season, it wasn't all his fault)

The Panthers just seem lost, I am honestly thinking it may be a GM/ownership issue. I seen it with my team. Too cheap, and not football savvy.

My condolences sir. I know how frustrating it can be to watch your team flop around like a suffocating fish.

Hey CaptainHaplo! At least your not a Dolphins fan! (speaking of dying fish):D

[AVGWarhawk]

On another note what in the hell is happening to Flacco? he has regressed massively this season.

Flacco picked it up second half and started playing like he is capable of! What a game!

[AVGWarhawk]

49ers are now 6-1.

The media still treats them like they are 1-6.

I bet Sportscenter will have 20 minutes on Tebow and will gloss over the highlights of the Niners.

The 49's are not media darlings yet. Look at the Steelers. Any one of them farts it's in the news. The Ravens are not media darlings either. Have a few 49'er players do a Head and Shoulders commercial. That worked for the Steerlers. :88)

Can I be honest and say the 49ers are losing first playoff game they make it, if they make it?

I'm not jaded, I got direct TV and watched every game. They win sloppy. I think it is a Jim Harbaugh thing. They love the guy compared to Mike Singletary.

Alex Smith: Hey Frank Gore, my hair is so shiny that I can throw touchdowns only at the end of the game.

Frank gore: Are you making fun or Troy Palomalu?

Alex:No!

Frank: Are you?!?

Alex (Downcast eyes) Yes.

Works for me.:D

“Can you believe ’15’?” one Detroit Lions defender asked after his team’s 45-10 immolation of Tebow and the Denver Broncos. “Come on – that’s embarrassing. I mean, it’s a joke. We knew all week that if we brought any kind of defensive pressure, he couldn’t do anything. In the second half it got boring out there. We were like, ‘Come on – that’s your quarterback? Seriously?’

Wow. How many games before they go back to Orton?

All Tebow bashing aside.:)

Steve Young sat backup to Joe Montana for years. He learned alot from him, then when it was his turn he became a hall of famer in his own right, even surpassed his mentor.

Same with the NY Giants, Simms mentored Hostetler, both won rings.

Tebow could benefit from an older veteran quarterback leading the way. Even if Denver stinks for another year or two, it can pay off, and at least keep the team "interesting" for fans.


The talent is there, the QB sense is there, he just needs a little extra training.

Look at baseball. Double a , triple a levels. Even Hockey has a minor league to hone your skills in. The NFL is like the NBA..Sink or swim league.

Where experience and mentorship can come in handy.

Maybe they could look up Grossman, as he is the greatest QB...evah!:D

Wonder what fav-ray is upto these days?:hmmm:

Your argument goes out the window because who is going to mentor Tebow? Sims and Montana were all-stars.... Kyle Orton has a horrible throw to the back shoulder on a 5 yard out pattern. Though he does grow an incredibly thick neck beard:rock:

Oh no...:timeout:

I meant maybe they should get someone, even if they are on their last legs.

Your right, Orton is boooooo!
I honestly didn't take him into the equation with my opinions.

I should have stated that better.:salute:

Don't ask me who, I'm no GM:O:

We are a YOUNG team who will grow. Honestly, next year we take the division.

As for the Dolphins - Matt Moore went to the fins from the Panthers - I like him. Always had a soft spot for the fins.

So - who sucks for Luck more - Indy or Miami?

I would have to say Indy sir.

Based on expectations. No one really expected anything from the fish.

But when Payton hurt his neck, it sunk the whole franchise. Necks are tricky things to come back from.

[August]

Oh no the Farve bomb! :o

[nikimcbee]

I got smurfed up the smurf by those smurfin cowsmurfs!:dead::shifty:

I love to see the cowsmurfs loose, but why couldn't the score be 3-6. And is it too much to ask to get one more sack and a fumble or something?

On a side note, I found zero cowboy fanz at work today.:haha:

You shouldn't be trying to get a fumble in the sack with a cowsmurf. They can be dangerous!:D:O:

It's why I don't trust you. ;)

The amazing thing is, in my 41 years on this God given earth, I have never seen a team rely so much on ONE player.

The Colts' D is absolutely terrible this year. You can't blame that on missing Peyton. I think we're seeing the inevitable decline.

Yeah, you are probably right. I said the same thing about the Bears D, but they add Peppers and by golly, not so bad.

Still I am still not sure to laugh at, or to put their fans out of their misery. Kind of like the end of 'old yeller'....:o

[geetrue]

Phillip Rivers QB chargers ...

either God is mad at him in general or taking it out on a bunch of innocent fans.

Comon man!

Minnesota better get their act together. They are getting dangerously close to losing the Vikings to California. I am old enough to remember losing the Lakers to California in '58. It was sad. :cry:

They have been trying for several years to get a new stadium deal but all attempts to fund it have been failures. The Gophers and Twins both got new stadiums and no longer play at the dome. The Vikes have refused to renew their lease saying the dome is too old and is unprofitable compared to other NFL stadiums.

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/articles/2011/11/04/vikings_lease_really_does_expire_in_2011/

[nikimcbee]

I wish they could work something out with the gophers.

[soopaman2]

So far so good in the 49er game.

They must be starting to get some respect as they are actually on TV in the New York area.

Looking forward to Patriots and Giants as well.

Any time I get to go to work and insult all the Giants fans after my "garbage 49ers" won again. Plus I am a huge Tom Brady fan, except when he's playing my squad:D

I truly love football season.

[nikimcbee]

Vikes are doing pretty good against Bye State.:woot:

[CaptainHaplo]

This just in:

Cam Newton has thrown for 530 yards, rushed for 120.

The Panthers D continues to doom the squad.

The Panthers lost during the bye week.

[soopaman2]

Sooooooooo. from laughing stock of the league to a solid defensive, run based, smashmouth , turnover forcing team about to win the division by Thanksgiving.

I can't wait to play Green Bay, or New England. I want to see if we can hang with the big boys.

It hurts to suck for so long, and be laughed at for so long. Pardon my glee.

Harbaugh deserves coach of the year, hands down.

He's always been a brilliant guy. Look what he did with Stanford and it seems to be translating to the pros. Which unless your name is Jimmie Johnson, doesn't happen all that very often. Good luck the rest of the way.
