I’m convinced we still haven’t seen this team’s potential yet. Underachievers at best Cousins has a lot to prove Sunday. Time to win a big time game.

CPAMAN -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/26/2018 5:07:37 PM)
The Vikings need to come out and play like they did vs. Miami in the first qtr and exude some dominance. A start like this past week in Detroit and this team will fold despite the home field advantage. They cannot afford to give the Bears any visiting team confidence or advantage.

https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/12/26/minnesota-vikings-2018-season-mike-zimmer-rick-spielman-kirk-cousins Coach Mike Zimmer tolerates these new digs, even if some of the more lavish touches make him squirm. He never allows anyone to turn on the fireplace in the locker room, for instance, or to put anything other than the day’s schedule on the dozens of TVs scattered throughout the facility. “Players win games,” the 62-year-old says one day in Eagan, scoffing at the amenities. Asked about the new draft room, with its 40 bigscreens all stitched together, everything digitized, he says: “Seven-hundred fifty-thousand [dollars], just so we don’t have to use f------ magnets.”

Who can't print off a bunch of StubHub tickets?

Ian Joseph -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/26/2018 6:55:30 PM)
I wouldnt trust scalpers with any tickets that are solely distributed electronically.

Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/26/2018 9:13:55 PM)
I think the Rams will be more motivated than the Bears- they have more to lose with a poor performance. The Bears probably figure that they will have to play the Vikings next week anyway, but that things will be different on their home field. Meanwhile, they certainly don't want to injure themselves when the playoffs are already assured. I could be wrong, but I don't think they played that hard last week, either.

I'm not sure what you could buy in front of the stadium that you could trust any more They can sell the tickets via vikings.com, which will send you a text with a link, you open that link to confirm in Vikings.com that you are kosher with the process, then voila, the ticket(s) is in your vikings.com account. I've done this a couple times, although that was just to transfer the ticket to someone else, I believe there was a sell the ticket option. Although since wasn't 'selling' I don't know that they would allow scalper prices. Is there a reason they wouldn't?

Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/27/2018 8:55:09 AM)
I just went to Vikings.com and the clicked on tickets. The pop up window stated: Ticket prices may fluctuate based on demand, at any time. Resale ticket prices may exceed face value. Learn more. Vikings.com lowest price: $223 StuHub, one ticket for $211 (fees not figured in) - maybe hang out in the tailgate area and act cool n shit and someone will give me a better deal on their extra, huh?

Vikings and Wild are quite expensive on Stubhub when you compare them to other NFL/MLB franchises. The Chiefs last night hand first round playoff game tickets for $95 (compared to $230 for Vikings Bears). Next year we may road trip to KC when the Vikings play there. Cheaper and living in Iowa the drive isn't that much different.

Cheaper and living in Iowa the drive isn't that much different. That sounds like a great idea. We've been to several Twins games there. Stayed in what used to be called the Sheraton (I believe) getting tickets cheap off of Priceline. Staying there the night before and going to a football game would be great atmosphere.

I guess where we differ is that I believe no one with the Bears thinks the game is meaningless at this point.

If Vikings can’t win this game at home with everything on the line then they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs and the Wilfs will have some deep thinking to do. Bears at full strength shouldn’t matter. The Vikings roster is built to win now and there are tougher teams than they Bears that are in the way. As far as I am concerned Zimmer and Speilman should have their jobs on the line Sunday. I doubt they do but IMO they should.

As far as I am concerned Zimmer and Speilman should have their jobs on the line Sunday. I doubt they do but IMO they should. I believe the Wilf's just extended Zim's contract last spring through 2020 season Unsure what Spielman's contract is Although the Wilf's (unlike Grampa Glen) most likely would be willing to eat said contracts if they felt they could bring in better coach/Gm. However, by all accounts they really like Zimmer and have said so on many occasions. If we do lose to the Bears in an unspirited effort at home i could see both Spileman and Zimmer being put on notice. I doubt either gets fired.
