Each week, the fact that half of the Vikings losses were to the Steelers becomes more painful. It's not just that they're losing, it's who they're losing to. Ravens and Bengals? Sure. Raiders and Browns? Uhhhh....

Gotta love the NFL.

so lightning ninja... how about them bengals?

I know its kinda like a senior beating up a freshman and taking his lunch money, but go Ravens!

Antoine Winfield is a beast.

The Bengals play like that in the Playoffs, then they won't need to worry about Indianapolis, because they will never MAKE it to Indianapolis...

How about them Bengals!?!? Yeah, not too great. Although they were against the team I predict will win the Super Bowl, against who I believe is the greatest quarterback of all time, and the best running back of his era. So it's expected.

We're not discussing philosophy. We're discussing statistics. Cold, emotionless, objective numbers.

I was reminded of your earlier quote when I read this quote on CBS from Bill's "defense" of Randy Moss:

"You know how I feel about stats," Belichick said. "Stats are for losers. Final scores are for winners."

So, in retrospect, Bill acknowledges that his 4th & 2 decision makes him a "loser."

That's a good one! The penultimate irony!!

Anyone besides STAMP see that game last night? What a dominant performance by San Francisco! They should Definitely be contending next year for the NFC.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #261 on:** December 15, 2009, 11:55:21 AM »

I saw it, I honestly think they could have been contending this year too, 6 of their loses came by a combined 17 points, I mean, thats crazy close, Their loss to the Vikings completely demoralized them, and so they forgot how to finish for a few weeks, now they're back on track.

The Guardian · « **Reply #262 on:** December 15, 2009, 06:59:42 PM »

It also showed just how inconsistent Arizona is and I feel justified in saying the Vikings loss to them was simply a fluke.

I agree. And the 49ers loss to the Vikings was a fluke, too.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #264 on:** December 15, 2009, 08:08:41 PM »

Yup, an old school Brett Favre engineered fluke

False. It was destiny.

STAMP · « **Reply #266 on:** December 15, 2009, 11:41:57 PM »

If you look at the entire season as a whole package, then yes, Minnesota is a better team then San Fran.

But one-on-one, it took a Brett Favre-HoF-best-arm-ever-engineering-fluke (see, I was nice and didn't say "lucky") of a TD pass to beat the visiting 49ers AT HOME, and Gore was injured. These same 49ers swept the Cardinals in convincing fashion...you know, that team that humbled the Vikings last week.

On a neutral site or at Candlestick, the 49ers would beat the Vikings easily. Maybe next year the schedulers will help out and schedule Minnesota at San Fran. Oh wait! Brett will be in Miami at that point. Guess we'll never find out.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #267 on:** December 15, 2009, 11:44:05 PM »

Nah, Brett doesn't want to play for Miami, I've heard the Bears are looking for a good QB - Then Favre could beat the Pack and the Vikings!

EmJayBee83 · « **Reply #268 on:** December 16, 2009, 01:23:43 AM »

Right now Favre is busy investigating any number of teams he could retire from next year.

Did you forget that the 49ers have lost to both Green Bay and Seattle, two teams the Vikings have beaten pretty decisively?

Did you also forget that the 49ers got crushed at home by a middle of the road Atlanta team?

Furthermore, it took a blocked FG return for a TD for the 49ers to even be close...so when you talk about "fluky" plays, don't forget about that one.

No offense, but that statement is absolutely wrong.

lightningninja · « **Reply #270 on:** December 16, 2009, 02:10:26 PM »

Also, the Vikings are gonna win the super bowl, so.... hopefully they play the Chargers there because I'm really not scared of the chargers... they still haven't played a good team... this week will be the decisive factor... if they beat the Bengals they're good.

It's all in matchups. The 49ers match up well against the Vikings, just like they do against the Cardinals. They don't match up well against the Falcons or Packers. I already said looking at the whole season as a complete package Minnesota is better than SF. Shoot, I am not looking forward to this week at Philadelphia. McNabb has always played the 49ers tough. And one final thing: SF has had to play most of their tough opponents on the road whereas Minnesota has had most of their tough opponents at home in their cozy dome. It's definitely THE season for the Vikings. The future is now for them. They have some good teams to go through to complete the mission. The 49ers future is this next decade. I'll trade one year for several.

The Guardian · « **Reply #272 on:** December 17, 2009, 01:46:21 AM »

If the Vikings have had one consistent weakness, it has been the safety play in pass coverage ergo Vernon Davis has a big game against us. I also think last Sunday's game against the Bengals showed just how important Antoine Winfield is to our defense and I truly believe the AZ game would have been very different with him in the line-up. Not saying we win, because we struggled in other areas too, but we would definitely would have been in better shape.

As for your Niners, I agree they are on the upswing. I'm not sold on Smith as a starting QB though and I'm not sure SF defense and running game are to the point where they will be able to contend with just an average QB. Smith has potential, but still has a lot to prove.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #273 on:** December 17, 2009, 01:50:14 AM »

Maybe Favre could rangle a trade over to the Niners... After all, they've got everything

cept him
