Vikes aren't getting any help... ATL beat the Panthers and Seattle is looking flat and losing to the Lambs. Might have to bust the door down ourselves tonight.

I fantasize about a QB like Brees wearing purple and gold... **sigh** The dude can flat out throw the damn football.

I wouldn't mind if we could get the 5 seed, a date with the Redskins wouldn't be too bad if we had to be a wildcard team.

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

So if I follow the decision tree correctly, *even* if we lose out and ATL wins out *and* SEA loses out putting us all at 9-7, some more things *must* happen for us to be eliminated? Specifically how the Chargers and Broncos fare? With 32 thousand combos remaining after we assume 2 Viking losses, two Seattle losses, an Atlanta win, and a SD win, I guess 16K of them would still allow us.

Good news is that if we assume SD wins next week, there are a million combinations of games, and only 16K of them have us missing the playoffs or 1.5%. If we don't assume anything and simply assume we lose 2, ATL wins, and SEA loses two, that only accounts for ~3.1% of all the remaining scenarios.

Gotta win tonight and put an end to this nonsense.

Well, looks like we will have to earn our way in...

Honestly, this team needs to prove they can beat quality opponents. I would rather see the team make the playoffs due to their ability and not due to technicality.

How dangerous are the playoff bound Vikings...
