All I have to say is it's been 40 years since the Vikes played in a Super Bowl. I hope today is the day they earn a return trip to the big game! :govikes:

For some reason, I have a weird calm about this game and season. Idk if that us good or bad, I suppose time will tell.

Philly boys can grease their poles as often as they want, that's none of my business.

We come to win. :govikes:

I worry about Thielen's effectiveness if the injury is as it sounds. :(
Thielen is a Viking warrior he will give everything he has and be very effective against the Eagles
Reports are that Thielen is suffering from small fractures in his back! It may be time to rest Thielen and start Floyd or Wright.

I don't think I'd rest Thielen but I would hope Floyd or Wright would step up if needed.

Stacy Coley is amazingly good. It might be his coming out party!

Thielen can still be a good distraction or rub route runner if he's playing hurt.

I've been a mess this whole season but am pretty calm today some reason. It still feels surreal I guess.

Me too. I don't know if it's confidence or the fact that this team has already gone over my expectations for the year.

Ha!!! It's good news for the Vikes, if the City thinks that fans will be rioting due to a loss.

In 2009 I was a wreck all week. In 2000, I was nervous because I knew our defense was no good and we had lost our last three games badly. In 1998 I was arrogant but I knew that anything could happen. Today, it just feels like this isn't really happening. I don't know how to describe it.
