We need a nice sustained PENALTY-FREE drive for the offense. Does the PR TD count against the defense? Look at the standings. Jaguars 253 points against. We're at 252 now.

Stop with the penalties. Good grief.

Diggs fastest Viking ever to 200 receptions. Despite missing a few games.

 Re: Week 17 Vikes-Bears game thread
We're coasting on both offense and defense. Bears receivers are running free this quarter.

F--k!
Now the Bears are going to score, pull within 1 score, and we're going to have to hang on.

I can't believe this garbage. Shurmur might have just screwed himself out of a head coaching job. This conservative BS is killing us.

Thank God for our defense. That was a phenomenal goal-line stand.

Ryan Quigley was really the only player with a complete game today.

Dude ... I can't believe how jangly my nerves are right now. How in the world can this Bears team be within 25 points of us?

It's all good... nobody got hurt... we played our vanilla offense and ran the ball well, our defense will give any OC nightmares. Now for a nice Bye week while our next opponent plays a tough game and then has to come to our house. It's all good.
