2008 Minnesota Vikings thread
-
2003: All we had to do was beat Arizona in week 17 after starting the season 6-0...Nathan Poole td on 4th and forever as time expires...missed the playoffs
2007: All we had to do was beat Washington in week 16....loss...missed the playoffs
2008: We just need 1 win in our last 2 games OR a Chicago loss...week 16=we lose, Chicago wins...BREAK THE DAMN JINX PLEASE
We still own New York though and Chicago sucks on the road.

I hope the Giants rest a lot of their front 4, Tuck Robbins and Coefield specifically, that'd help.
Also Jacobs and likely Hixon aren't playing.
They'll be playing hard, but if we want to get in...we need to bring it also.
It makes me feel better that Houstons at home where theyre 5-2, where as Chicagos 3-4 on the road..and Kyle Orton absolutely sucks.
I think the we'll get in, but with our history...if we blow this, I will not be shocked

Very well put.. Texans are a rather decent team.. But iirc, they have no play off potential...
Giants have a really nice record, so that scares me.
But what are our wild card slot options?

And the Cowboys. And the the Bucs.I remember hearing last night that if the bears lose both games.. & both philadelphia & cowboyws lose.... than Bears would get the wild card.. Wouldn't that work for us as well?

If the Vikes win, we are in as division champs. If we lose and the Bears lose, we are in as division champs. If we lose and the Bears win, I am almost 100% positive that we are out of the playoffs completely no matter what the Cowboys or Bucs do due to tiebreakers.
I honestly think the Vikes will shit stomp NY and the Bears will lose to Houston.

I just remembered hearing Eagles/Cowboys had to do with Bears making the wildcard if they won their last game and so did the Vikings.
Anyways, pretty sweet game.. Nothing like a last second victory...
Nice to see a loss to the bears too, to show that we would of had it either way. Big plus to go into the playsoffs w/ a win. -
Even tho it isn't a win I would brag to NYG fans about (2nd string played pretty much every offensive position in the second half...however I did feel Carr outperformed Manning), I feel like we finally got a break. We have lost so many games on 1 single mistake, or lost by 1-3 points with making a million stupid mistakes. Hopefully this win will give some momentum to our boys and we look forward to a few more weeks of Vikings football!
WOOT :icon_cheers:

What time do the packers play next week, chuckles?
