I can see it now, even if we win our last 3 games the analysts will be saying.."Az Cardinals, the worst team to ever have a 13-3 record in the NFL"..lol.

MiddleAge, true..Stanton is obviously not our #1 choice, but Stanton with running game is much better than Stanton without running game. We shall see.

They are starting to play with a little fire in their bellys now. |

They are starting to play with a little fire in their bellys now. In my opinion, both Eagles offense and Seahawks defense are over-rated. Only thing is really not over-rated is Roger and the Green Bay offense. It is going to be a great playoff, especially on the NFC side. |

Stanton, No.... and my damn Eagles 1-3 against NFC West.... NFC is gonna win the Super Bowl again. But no, I don't think the Cards are gonna make a dent in the playoffs. No QB, no RB. They got torched by the Broncos, and destroyed by the Seahawks. They have a tough road through the NFC West to finish the season, and I think the Seahawks will win the division. Seahawks are still the class of the NFC West, NFC, and NFL. And no, I'm not a Seahawks fan. Just don't see anyone beating them, barring serious injury to Wilson or any of their DBs. |

We will see if they have a running game without Ellington, who didn't do much for much of the year. They did well against KC, but KC is ranked bottom of the league in rush defense. They get three of the top ten in rush defense to finish the season. |

I do like the Cardinals but I'm so old that my Denver fan status precedes the Cardinals coming to AZ. Back in the day it was all about Being a Suns fan and as far as MLB and NFL you sort of picked a team from another state. As an AZ guy I know you can relate to that one, we wanted NFL for so long. The Cardinals are my #2 team and I agree on the no respect thing. When they made the Superbowl people were beating them down left and right and now at 10-3 it's like they don't even rate? I hate that. I get that they don't have a star roster but still..... |

Whoever makes it out of the NFC, desperately want to see a rematch between the Packers and Seahawks, will win the Super Bowl.

I'd love to see a Packers-Broncos or Packers-Patriots Super Bowl. But the NFC goes through Seattle for now. Although I'd love to see a Seattle-Patriots Super Bowl as well, just to see what Belichick can concoct to counter Russell Wilson and also the Seahawks defense. |

While the Packers did not look as good last night (or ATL didn't look as bad) I'm not sure that Denver can beat them now.
Seattle is still up and down.
My Vikings are on a roll though - you wait - we'll be back in 2020!

They're the second hottest team in the league, in the toughest division in the league, only behind the Packers in win streak, who they've beaten. Next week they play for first place in the NFC West. Only thing is, the Packers weren't the same team then, and it would make for an amazing rematch. |

My Eagles just played Seahawks the last week and I am not impressed with Seahewks' offense, especially the receivers coup. Lynch is bit beat down and based on what I saw last Sunday, I think he will be productive but not as much as people think. Seattle's defense is good but the last three of the offenses they played are all over-rated (including the Eagles). So I would like to see more to tell for sure. Based on the game I saw between Eagles and Green Bay, I still think Green Bay is a much better team than Seattle and will come out from the NFC.
I am not impressed with any teams on the AFC including the Broncos or the Patriots. My gut is telling me that Steelers and Ravens can be dangerous if they get into the playoff.
Btw, Eagles offense is so over-rated and defense is so under-rated..... I was hoping it can go far into the playoff but it is unlikely....

I went to the Vikings/Jets game this last Sunday with my 2 sons. My 8 year old's first Viking's game and my oldest's and my first game in the outdoor stadium. The Vikings are playing in the University of Minnesota's stadium until our new "billion" dollar stadium is built. No exaggeration, it is a huge deal. Not sure if I like the whole idea or not. Our old Metrodome was tore down and the new stadium being build in it's place. Many years of debate went on until the deal was done a year ago or so. The game was a lot of fun. We dressed warm and it wasn't that cold for Minnesota so we were fine. Was about 32F. I am not a huge professional sports guy but I do watch some of the games. I do understand the love of it though. Only so much time for things as we all know. www.vikings.com/media-vault/videos/New-Stadium-Hits-Major-Milestone/fa105ad6-1551-4b81-9b1e-cc2038b51ecaBlowing up the old Metrodome which seemed to work fine for football to me. Saw many concerts in it some that were not the best unless you were close as the sound bounced around so much. |

Huge Packers fan here. The Bills game this week is gonna be a lot tougher than people think. Although the Packers O-line should match up with the strength of the Bills D. Gonna be a fun December. But it always is, isn't it?

Awesome Todd - but VIKES are meant to play outside, which is why another dome bums me out. Grew up in the Purple People Eater days with Bud Grant and snow and well, my house has a lot of signed VIKES stuff. Bloomington was a great location (for a fan on TV anyways) and Fran The Man was a treat to watch. I wanted to be either him or Alan Page on any given day. Made VIKES lids and played in the snow every season. Being a kid was fun back then. Now I'm just an old man hoping to see Super Bowl number five and a ring. May never happen though! NFC North is not supposed to be a dome division.  |

Funny that I was thinking about Farve while listening to ESPN yesterday morning. It was so closed for the Vikings to get to the Superbowl that year. I don't follow NFC central but I was rooting for Farve that year.

NFC North is not supposed to be a dome division. I hear you. We were all kind of hoping it would snow at the game. Would have been cool to see. There is something about seeing a team playing outside in winter weather. The Vikings do have some great history. It was cool being at the game and seeing a sea of purple. Forgot to mention they had some old war planes fly over right before the beginning of the game. They were very loud. Was amazing. Of course I have friends with full Vikings regalia. One who is a season ticket holder whose house is totally full of everything purple. Vikings dog bowls, curtains, the works. I called him on pointers of where to park at the game etc. I did go to a Kirby Puckett book signing back in the day. Was hard to not be a Twins fan during those times. |

My grandparents had a vacation home in Minnesota and when I went to visit them in 87 I went to the Metrodome to see a Twins/A's game, good memories. I really enjoyed Minnesota. In 91 I was able to go to the MLB All Star game in Toronto and meet a bunch of players. It was a make a wish deal, my brother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at 13....Anywho, Make a wish asked him who he would want to meet more than anybody and he said Kirby Puckett. Make a wish never mentioned anything about meeting him again. So we are in Toronto for the week for the game and we decide to go to dinner one night. We get back to the hotel room after dinner and the front desk said they had something for us. We go down and there's a pennant signed by Kirby Puckett....I'm not just talking an autograph, Im talking a 3 or 4 sentence paragraph to my brother signed from Kirby. We find out from Make a wish the next day that he actually came up to oir room that night to surprise my brother. Kirby was actually knocking at our door to come in our room and sit and talk with my bro. Make a Wish never told us beforehand as they wanted to surprise us, and of course he comes up when we are gone..lol. That's my Kirby Puckett story. Stand up dude! and Make A wish is a stand up foundation btw, amazing. RIP Kirby. |
