Vikings Win

[IceHawk]

Yes!!!!!!!! Great game by everyone defense was on a terror  Cook was outstanding and Kirk finally stepped up in a big game good for him.. Was a little nervous when they let let up the pressure and didn't go for the kill. They always seem to do this play not to loose but should  play to win!  Fortunately  it all worked out and we move on. SKOLLLLLLLLLLL

[Rick]

They outplayed the Saints and coaching leaves a little to be desired. When they have a nice lead the coaches play to run the clock out way too early.

 

The players looked great. The coach better pull his head out or we're going to lose one of these kind of games we should win easily.

You maybe saw my FB post earlier about how scripted some of these screw-ups looked. So bad it would make a professional wrestler embarrassed. The issues of blown coverage, missed tackles or some of the stiff arms that seemingly made no contact, yet our guys were falling to the turf. They certainly did everything they could to throw this game away in 4th qtr.

Any chance they hired the Packers officiating crew?

so the day before the game and no chatter............ well my take is cousins shot his wad.........vikings lose by 10!!!!!!!!!

[IceHawk]

I think we stack up pretty good against the 49 er's  Defenses are pretty even QB rateings are almost exact. I feel this game will all depend on two factors , Running if cook gets going look out and if our offensive line doesn't crumble and allows Kirk some time. My prediction Vikings by 7

yea but we have capn kirk..........not capn krunch!!!!!!! and his infamous reputation!!!!!!!! that green bay game put me over the edge!!!!!!!

I'm thinking the Vikings have the Playoff experience edge here with their coaches and players.

 

@smurfy remember who was running the rock in that Packers game.

 

Also, think about how little the Vikings had to gain in that game... win vs loss. I think resting some of their players week 17 weighed in on how they game planned the Packers.

 

We will win and I hope the Packers do, so we can go into Lambeau and crush them.

Exactly my point, like the Packers losing to Detroit/Vikings injuring players to beat bears so they can limp into playoffs playing wild card weekend anyway.....and then what. I like the Vikings odds better playing it just as they have...I'm guessing they are as well.

[smurfy]

well Rick, i used this same analogy last week...........and it worked. if i continue to do so and they lose i didnt set myself up for a big letdown.......if they win  reverse physcology!!!!!!! and you wanted more posters.......so stir things up!!!!!

It would salvage a dark year for MN football...

 

Awesome gophers season... but we couldn't beat Sconnie (or Iowa); the 2 games that "matter".    Awesome playoff win over the Favre-bountiers... but 2 ugly losses to the pack during regular season.

If we can't beat Sconnie, what's the point?

 

I think I could survive a super-bowl flop (again) if at least we could get there by beating Allstate Aaron (and his cringe-worthy handlebar mustache) in a championship game!  That would ease a lot of wounds! 

If we can beat the 9ers (and I think we can!) this will be a first-time-in-history I'll actually root for the evil-empire-to-the-east;  that could exorcise my past 40 years of disappointments if we could stick it to Sconnie at Lambeau--SKOL!!!!!. 

(I started watching after Fran, so I never personally felt the 70's)

With all of the injuries in the secondary, Zimmer should be voted coach of the year if the Vikes find a way to win today. 
My prediction: Zim will not be voted coach of the year. 
I’ll still be cheering for them though. 
Skol!

[leech~~]

I wish the Vikings would get a coach that would show a little more enthusiasm like the new Gophers coach!

 

Zimmerman is like a dead fish on the side line or after game interviews!

With the exception of maybe Carroll, how many quality NFL coaches dance around like Fleck?

Yeah, may be your right?

 

 

[Sculpin]

Zimmer channels Bud Grant in terms of enthusiasm, outward displays of emotion, and anything approaching a pulse. But I think his players like and respect him.   

[smurfy]

yea well I personally preferred ole burnsey in after game interviews!!!!!!!!!!!
