Bears Beat Vikings

Associated Press Bears WR Devin Aromashodu is mobbed after his game-winning TD.

Most have been a sad day in the KageMann household as the Bears rallied for a TD in overtime play.

CHICAGO – Brett Favre cranked up and made one more impossible throw, zinging a touchdown pass in the fading seconds. Too bad for the Minnesota Vikings, that merely put them into overtime.

The Vikings lost again Monday night, beaten by the Chicago Bears 36-30 when Jay Cutler tossed a 39-yard strike to Devin Aromashodu. Minnesota fell for the third time in four games, and the defeat gave the New Orleans Saints homefield advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

What two teams do you envision in the Super Bowl this year?

Thanks Cindy. I really needed that.

/sarcasm off.

See if I help you anymore with your scroll mouse tips.

/sarcasm really off.

That game really was horrible to witness.

I heard that Janet Napolitano thought the Vikings defense worked perfectly. :~)

Thanks, HMO, that actually made me chuckle on this dreary day.

Arrrrrgh!

The Vikings defense may have worked better if Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) hadn’t held up the hiring of the Vikings defensive coordinator simply because DeMint opposed the players union.

Da Bears!!!

p.s., I think most people know that Napolitano’s Sundays statements were ludicrous.

In this order:
AFC Picks:
Indy
Chargers
Sleeper: Ravens

NFC*:
Saints
Eagles
Sleeper: Green Bay

*for the record, I’d love to see the Viking win it all.

If the Vikings can beat the Giants at home next Sunday and Philly loses to the Cowboys in Dallas, the Viks can still get a first round bye.It’s important that they beat the Giants to get some momentum going and the Viks are undefeated at home this season. The coaches ought to let Favre do his thing and pass for over 30 times a game;let the west coast offense set up the run.

“Most have been a sad day in the KageMann household”.

I suffered through 4 Viking Super Bowl losses in the 70’s, so losing to the Bears was nothing. I’m impressed that the Vikings put-up 30 points in the second half of the Monday Night game. I’m still hopeful. ;-)

“The Vikings defense may have worked better if Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) hadn’t held up the hiring of the Vikings defensive coordinator simply because DeMint opposed the players union”.

Phaedrus, three weeks ago, the Vikings lost their middle linebacker E.J Henderson, who is really the quarterback of the defense. That explains some of their defensive problems; because that is one guy who you really can’t replace.

JM - how about going out on a limb with those picks :-)

Ain’t not sold on the “SAints” yet. In fact I’m not sold on any NFC team – they all have flaws. Until I see something different I have to predict the Lombardi will end up in Tom, Peyton, or Ben’s hands. Although the Steelers need a little help to make the playoffs. I’ll go Cards / Indy in the SB…

Poolman,

I’d love to go out on a limb but I guess I’ll have to wait for March Madness as I think there are only a few thoroughbreds amongst them them in the playoff picture this year.
I’m with you on the sAint’s as well but when they are firing on all cylindars, they are a sight to see (See vs. Pats about a month ago MNF).

Either way, I’d love to see a Chargers/Indy showdown for what SHOULD be the Super Bowl.

JM - Hey are they playing 1st & 2nd round NCAA’s (mens) in Spoke-Vegas this year?

“Either way, I’d love to see a Chargers/Indy showdown for what SHOULD be the Super Bowl”.

JIMMYMAC, those two teams are in the AFC.
JIMMYMAC on December 29 at 8:24 p.m.
Kage,
That’s why I said SHOULD be the Super Bowl. ‘Cause the NFC can’t hold the AFC’s jock. Kinda like Indy/New England, New England/Pitt, etc, etc each and every year.

Poolman,
Coverage of the 1st and 2nd rounds start in SpokeVegas on Thursday, March 18th-a week and 3 days after I come back from the WCC tourney in Las Vegas ;)
