I want him to be here playing football and not being a celebrity. I’ve given him a hard time already about being on TV and not being a celebrity. It’s football now and it’s time to work. The feel-good story is over.

That was what head coach Mike Zimmer said about German league player, WR Moritz Boehringer. This is exactly how you want to humble a kid who's been plastered all over for simply being German and fast. The only person who could say it better would be Bruce Arians.

We joke a lot about Vikings having no purpose for a trophy case, but I'm thinking this Zimmer guy might make the Vikings moderately relevant for a time coming. I do not think Teddy Bridgewater is the answer at quarterback and that's probably the only thing holding the team back.

Are you over looking for the Vikings or feel the same way?

Long as they have Apete, they'll probably keep running the ball too much.

Cordarell Patterson is the real deal, but he's not a WR. Can't run the routes. They did draft a guy this year though.

Zimmerman is a definite step up from the Meathead and Major Dad type dudes of the recent past.

Zimmerman is an excellent coach. He's one of my favorites in the league. Top 5.

Mike Zimmer is a defensive coordinator, and a very good one, but he's been elevated to his level of incompetency. The Vikings will be our good rival again because they have rebuilt their defense. But their offense is a mess, and has no where near the talent we have.

As long as the Vikings have Adrian Peterson, they are scary.
If you can stop him, you have a good chance to win.
I don't know much else about the Vikings or their coaches.

The Vikings are probably an overall better team than the Packers at this point. But the Packers still have the much better QB, so they should still beat the Vikings. The Packers will need this draft class to be strong to keep pace with the overall talent level, though.

But we are the better team.

It's similar to the situation with Lovey Smith. Great coach, the franchise didn't deserve him.

They are much better with Zimmer, Bridgewater, et al, than what they have been. They've put together a couple of good drafts. It might take this year to develop young players, but by next year they should be a force. Much to my chagrin.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (5h) : That gives them their best chance

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Cowboys starting Trey Lance at QB vs Commanders; GB vs Philly in the Wild Card incoming!

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Stinks for Lloyd. Hoping he comes back strong for next year

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
