People keep saying we don't have a chance to win a playoff game or more than one if our D doesn't dramatically improve. Are these other teams in this avg group of playoff teams dramatically improving as well? We're the ones with 11 wins, not Wash, Sea, TB, NYG, SF. Yes, SF appears to be pretty ok, but stop crowning their asses. They lost to shit teams and played a weak schedule - I mean that's what you all would say if it was the Vikings in their place ... no?

- But hey, I get it. It's learned behavior that's extremely hard to shake


Care to put your money where your words are, or did you accidently leave out Philly and Dallas?

10 grand we run the SB. And I'm ecstatic to lose that bet!

Good story!

- Anyone else getting the vibe we're ready to beat some team (NYG?) real bad? Ok, maybe 2 by scores at least?


The 1-4-1 Giants over the last six games? Debatable at best.

Since the opener we've beaten one team by > 8 points. ONE.

Although, the Giants are coming off a Sunday night road game and have to travel to Minny while we last played on Saturday. That is a HUGE advantage for the Vikings I have already mentioned.

Conversely. coming off a historical comeback, why even mention that? Like when we 'beat' the Bills in an all-time game, we were hung out to dry 40-3 seven days later. Oh wait, it's the Giants not the Cowboys.

Your postings indicate you are a frontrunner. In fact, your posts have gone up exponentially as the season has gone on. Bandwagon is one adjective, but you refute things and stand behind the 11-3 record?

I don't think I stand by the 11-3 record as much as you think. "Why are we done in the first round?" Because it's the playoffs and these avg teams are now going to beat us? Don't mistake me for thinking we're moving on 'cause we're 11-3. I'm as pessimistic as anyone on the inside. I'm just not letting the if we don't improve we're "done!" remarks slide. Why? We've got to 11 wins this way, why all of a sudden are the Commanders or the Seahawks or the Lions going to take us out? BS!

Bandwagon!? Come on! Yes, I refute things, just like you do. I get a little irked at the, "It's the playoffs, we're going to get it now!"

Exponentially is correct. I'm on a pension and haven't haven't been driving part-time in over a month - I'm bored! But I'll cut back on posting if you think I should ;)


I didn't say we were done in the first round, what an incredible leap! I'll excuse the rest of the post, not my circus, not my monkeys. To wit, the premise was about whether we can beat the lately hapless Giants by 2 scores at least. Which I tried to answer complete with data, but to which you went off the rails on... certainly nothing about the Giants.

Cue the low rating post. Pathetic.

And I wasn't referring to anything you said, it was actually Jeff and Ron's posts that I was talking about - and let me say there was no ill will intended. Sorry, I can't remember actually what you said and to be clear I stopped reading this one after, " I'll excuse the rest of the post ...."

Funny how that stuff works sometimes, huh?

I didn't leave anything out.

What's the bet? What's "10 grand we run the SB" mean?

I haven't given one of those in awhile - stopped doing it and have only been giving 4 stars similar to a "like" on FB. Gotta be honest, the iPhone "like" to text messaging is sooo annoying to me.

Matter of fact, I've given you a few 4 stars recently if you haven't noticed - not today, though ;)

Looking for a rare complete game today! Zygi and the Wilfs will watch their Giants take a beating!

Status: offline 		TBC, do I think the Vikings are going to get to the SB without improvement from our D, no. Can we? Yes, especially with this field, so I disagree stating it as fact that they can't.

Can the defense get dramatically better? Why not? Look at all the things this team has done this year starting with the win last week. The 4th quarter comebacks. The D playing as strong as they have to give the offense chances, etc. To me if any team can go from soft to aggressive just based on personality, grit, and determination it's this one. This isn't the Zimmer Vikings. It's not Frazier's, Childress' or Bud Grant's, either. Let's see what happens with the NYG

I believe that is his 5th game winning fg this season

Kudos. Entertaining game

That’s the most 100-yard games by any player in NFL history through his first four seasons.

Jefferson is still in his third season.

I remember the great ones from the past, including Sammy White, AC, CC, and of course Moss. There is something so smooth about about JJ that makes him so darn fun to watch. Let's hope he keeps healthy and the Vikings will always have a chance to win. Merry Christmas to you all.

Hunter with 2 sacks has taken over the team lead. Z hasn't had a sack in what feels like 6 games.
