    I think the difference will be that the game is played at the big inflatable, not JerryWorld. I'd pick the Vikings in a close game.

      I'd be offended if it weren't true.

      I'm almost curious to see what kind of a joke would ensue if/when 2108 comes around and the Cubs still haven't won. At the pace the Cubs are headed, it's a possibility. Unfortunately I don't like my odds of surviving to 2108.

        I'm gonna go with a darkhorse key to the game: Thunderc*k. If Shiancoe has a big game (as in key 3rd down catches, momentum-changing catches, not necessarily 100+ yds, etc), I think Dallas falls.

          I'd tell you that he's a moron, but it's unnecessary when I instead tell you he's a Packers fan.

              What the heck happened to the field goal kicking? You somewhat expect it in college, but in 4 games, kickers missed 5 field goals, 4 of which were under 50 yards.

                      Seeming it is messing with Packer fans, I'd wager quite a bit.

                        Just saw that on replay Rodgers was being facemasked. That was the worst crew I have seen in some time determining PFs to the QB. That was about the fourth or fifth PF on Rodgers the Cardinals got away with.

                          Oh, lord, people would be complaining as much or more if it went from an Arizona TD to 1st and 10 Packers.

                          It wasn't all that noticeable on the first look, and when you consider that the official also needed to be watching where the ball went and if it was caught (since a fumble would have led to Tuck Rule #2) I can't really blame them for not catching it and throwing the flag. It kind of felt like an NHL OT where the officials didn't want to give the offense yards to set up the FG.

                            Although you are spot on with everything you say here, one still has to wonder why NONE of the other officials saw it.

                            I'm not as up-in-arms with it as others seem to be. The Packers lost that game for a lot of reasons, and the missed calls for roughing the passer are only one of those reasons.

                            I don't care how many fantasy geeks are jizzing their pants over how much offense there was in this game, it started to become a joke how bad these defenses were. I have trouble understanding people who watch a game like that and feel like they've just witnessed an incredible football game. If I were a neutral fan, I'd have probably enjoyed that game only for the drama of the finish.

                              Agreed.

                              They missed a blatant helmet-to-helmet hit on the play earlier to that (2nd down when they called holding).

                              I will be shocked if that crew works a second post-season game.

                                So then there wasnt any missed calls that benefited the Pack at all...right? Like when Warner got crushed well after the ball was gone and the officials didn't call it despite the ref being right next to Warner as he was hit? (or how about the horse collar that wasnt a horse collar)

                                The Packers lost because their D couldn't stop a PeeWee offense yesterday. Zona will lose to the Saints next week for the same reason. If you break down every play you can find a penalty if you really want to.

                                edit: Yes I am a Vikings fan, yes I hate the Pack, no that has nothing to do with my opinion of the play.
