Re: Playoff scenarios
Geez, Philly got lucky.
Derek Carr gives the game away with yet another pick. The Eagles, with 11 total yards in the entire second half, manage two first downs and a long field goal.
Carr is afraid of Philly's pass rush.
Doesn't matter. Philly can't beat us with that offense.

Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

Re: Playoff scenarios
Philly looks like a 1 and done team in the playoffs, at home or not. Although the thought of playing another road game in the cold scares me.

Re: Playoff scenarios
Oh yeah, Carr sucks! Glad we got Teddy over him.
Re: Playoff scenarios
Infuriating how bad the Raiders were tonight. Carr was awful as was their line.

Which means they will get lucky squeak by their first game and we will have to go there.PurpleKoolaid wrote:Philly looks like a 1 and done team in the playoffs, at home or not. Although the thought of playing another road game in the cold scares me.

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018
Re: Playoff scenarios
I can see them squeaking by a lesser team like the Chiefs or the Titans, but most likely the Eagles will face the Rams.PurpleMustReign wrote:Which means they will get lucky squeak by their first game and we will have to go there.

So there will be no squeaking.
One and out for Philly and the Rams will face us in our house.
PS : Carr = second best paid QB in the league...

Re: Playoff scenarios
Rams won't be playing their starters this week. They're electing to go with rest saying #3 or #4 seed doesn't make much difference. So that's one #2 playoff seed scenario likely gone for Vikings.

If this is truly a different run than years past, the Vikings will take care of Chicago.

Re: Playoff scenarios
This is going to sound pessimistic, but when I first got into the Vikings, and was just starting football in HS, I remember another Vikings team with a good D. I think it was '86 or '87, and we played Washington. And Darrin frigging Nelson dropped a TD catch in the endzone that would have won it, or tied it. I was sick for a week after that, seriously. I really hope we see a dominant D against the Bears this week, and stop the run. And contain whatever QB we face. I doubt Trib runs that much though.

Re: Playoff scenarios
Pretty simple: We have to beat Chicago. We cannot sit here and worry about other teams. If we want the bye, we need to earn it. I fully trust that this team will take care of business this Sunday. I am looking forward to Sunday's game. SKOL.

Re: Playoff scenarios
For the heck of it. Offensive points per game and defensive points per game the last 4 weeks.
Right now, I see the Saints as the biggest threat.

Re: Playoff scenarios
For me it's the Saints and the Rams. I do think trust the Rams to not play poorly here and I really think Drew Brees is having his best season since 2009.Raptorman wrote:For the heck of it. Offensive points per game and defensive points per game the last 4 weeks.

Re: Playoff scenarios
Actually for the Saints, I think it's their running game. When they are held to 101 yards or less they only score 20 points a game. When they run for more than 120 yards a game it's like 34 points per game.PurpleMustReign wrote:For me it's the Saints and the Rams.
