OT: Minnesota Vikings Discussion

[Wild11MN]

Figure it deserves its own thread. As tgf posted the tweet, Thielen expected to play but in a lot of pain.

I prefer the team that is using their backup quarterback.

You can tell how old a Vikings fan is just by how they feel about this game. Young fans are confident, middle aged fans are optimistic, and the older fans are like "just wait for it".

Apparently Thielen suffered "A couple slight fractures in his back" last game.

I must be overly jaded. I'm in the last group in terms of optimism, but on the early side of the second group for age. Perhaps I took the 1998 game too hard. I remember being in the second group during 2009. I didn't get upset about the loss to the Seahawks because I actually called the miss before it happened (I mean, that's the Vikings). I'm worried now that they're just trying to get our hopes up to let us down in the hardest of ways. I've been thinking we'll make the Superbowl just to be the first team (and possibly only as that's a record that may hold for all time) to lose the Superbowl in their own home stadium. I mean, why disappoint your fans from across the country when you can do it in person?

They're doing this to prevent poles from coming down during riots, win or lose.

I absolutely hope that there's news coverage of drunk Eagles fans trying to climb those, giving it 100% effort.

Pats take the lead down double digits in the 4th quarter... to no one's surprise.

What I'm shocked at is their run/pass ratio against the Jags defense. They've thrown 39 passes against just 13 runs.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Dammit Jacksonville. Now I HAVE to root for philly all things considered.

 

[NHL1674]

$@#& you, Patriots. Ya dumb #$@ cheaters. Hope they run into a snow drift when they're here.

 

[Digitalbooya]

That national anthem was amazing!

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Beautiful drive

 

[Wild11MN]

Great drive. Surprised by the effectiveness of the run game.

 

[gphr513]

Getting more points here would be nice.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Ugh

 

[gphr513]

That was not ideal.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Pick 6!!!!

 

[NHL1674]

Yes beer can throwing crowd....you're very special.

 

[Wild11MN]

Keenan got hit there, not his fault.. that sucks though.

 

[Hockeyholic]

That's a killer.

 

[NHL1674]

Keenan better not get rattled. Shake it off, grab a pair, and get back to business.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Look that's not on Keenum. But a mistake like that cannot happen in a game like this. That may have changed the game completely.

 

[LadyJet26]

Not a great response to the pick 6
