NFC Championship Game Thread: Vikings-Eagles

[PurpleKoolaid]

And so many on this board made fun of me when I said the Eagles were no joke. The Vikings are the joke it seems. They cant do anything right on either side of the ball. But this is what the Vikings have done best since I started watching them, disappoint.

Total team letdown. Players are not in position to make plays. Eagles look like the better team so far.

Still, I can see the Vikings making a comeback in the 2nd half.

I'd think about putting in Bradford. He'll probably get murdered but gun slinging may be the only chance down 17.

Seriously? Statue of Liberty in quicksand with their pass rush and our o-line?

With Rhodes hurt, how are we going to cover their WR's and Zach Ertz? One answer is pressure. We have to take some risks and throw more blitzes at Foles.

They get the ball to start the 2nd it will be 30-7 by then, as long as this franchise is called the vikings, and in minnesota you could have tom brady with the 85 bears defence and still mever get a ring, completely snake bitten franchise

What good would that do if we run on first every single time, and throw the ball less then 10 yards when not getting 2 yards running. And then Sam would have to figure something out to help the D. But yeah, I've seen enough Case, maybe Sam can at least make us somewhat respectable.

Can't have turnovers and win playoff football games

INT was the turning point. I think the coaches underestimated the defensive pass rush.

[tzinc]

look like the 70s SB teams
playing totally different
missing tackles out of position

[Dmizzle0]

Better Blocking + Defensive Turnovers= comeback

[Gemfow]

Talk about being outcoached. Eagles start with a lot of short passes and then started double moves that Vikings’ defenders bit on by the name of Terrence Newman and Harrison Smith. This game is over now unfortunately.

Now we can see management overpay Keenum during the off-season so that we can pull the same crap next season

[soflavike]

I can't believe that some of you are blaming Case and wanting him to bench him. That's not the problem here.

Case doesn't play defense, and he needs to have his blind side protected. He got us to this game. Have a little faith in the guy.

[TSonn]

Case can earn his franchise tag here.

Depending on how the first drive goes, pulling a Saban may be their only shot. Not saying this is all Keenum's fault but when you need to throw may as well put the guy with the best arm out there.

Like I said, he'll probably get murdered but desperate times...

Well, that's not how any of us wanted the first half of this game to go.

That opening drive was a great start but it's been sloppy football and questionable coaching since then. It's really disappointing to see so many missed tackles and blown coverages from the Vikes defense but the killer moment for me was that stupid protection call on the Keenum fumble. What are they thinking asking Morgan to come across the backfield and block a DE in that situation? That's a very tough play for a TE to make and down by 7, with the ball around the opponent's 20 yard line, is no time to get "clever" like that.

Maybe the Saints should have advanced because our Vikings are choking tonight. I credit the Eagles for playing well but we know the Vikes are capable of playing smarter, more fundamentally sound football than this.

They have 30 minutes to win this game. They're going to have play great but it's still within reach.
