Im sorry, could somone please tell me why that scenario would put you guys in a must win situation?

@Jordy
It wouldn't technically be a must win...but if seattle lost then the Vikes would need to win in GB or the Flacons lose to NO...or Sea beats AZ next week.
Would much rather beat the g-men at home.

Because in a three way tie at 9-7 between the Vikes the Falcons and the Seahawks, the Vikes are out of the playoffs.

I was hoping Atlanta would lose today. On the other hand, tonight's game will be much more fun to watch. Please, Vikes, play well and earn your way in!

It's a day of huge upsets. Let's hope that stops right now!

I'm excited to see how this young team will respond tonight.

Great to see PIT, NE, and CAR lose today.

The Browns nearly dumped KC too....

I had a pretty strong feel about the Jets, but no way did I believe Pittsburgh would lose the Ravens behind Mallet.

Yea, oddly enough I was feeling a Jets win as well. Didn't trust them completely to beat Brady in OT but they got it done.

If you need a visual aid for the Vikings playoff picture. (bottom of link)

N.F.L. Playoff Picture: What Vikings Fans Should Cheer For

The Jets are playing well....if they get in they should be tough to oust.
The whole thing looks like a crapshoot now.....moreso than it usually is from my view.

Jordy, if the Vikings, Seahawks, and Falcons all finish with the same record, the Vikings lose out because of strength of victory. A Seahawks win would ensure that there would not be a three way tie, and then it goes to head to head, where the Vikings beat the Falcons earlier this season.

Great, STL is beating up on SEA as well

Brees is on pace for about 600+yds and 7tds...on an injured foot. Why is he even playing? To compensate for how his contract has decimated that team?

I'm not worrying about the other teams. Vikings win and they're in. Can't ask for a better scenario.
