I think the ball was snapped in time, but barely. Had to watch it in slow motion.

Since it would have been a scoring play it would have been reviewed. But it was so close I don't know if they would have overturned it.

There is a practice in football the guy watching the clock waits for 0's then looks so there is always a bit of lag officially.. However to my eyes that looked like it was right at 0 so they got it off... I think... lokl

Glass half full: Division champs/beat the Packers in Lambeau in prime time

Glass half empty: We're beat up all over, Teddy was bad, protection remains bad going up against a team on fire that destroyed us at home already.

It was a good season. I'd love for the Vikes to make some noise but I don't see them pulling out a win vs. Seattle this season. Not banged up against that defense with our protection and receiving limitations

Last offensive drive:
Childress game plan I this spot: give Patterson the ball again, they'll never expect it!!
Tice gameplan in this spot: what gameplan? Randy Ratio!
Denny Green's plan: take a knee... Oops we have to punt now?
Bevel's plan:cover for Favre ignoring your gameplan, pretend it was your idea.
Musgrav's plan:pick anything on 2 by 2 notecard.... "3 plays to choose from in each formation, make them count!"
Norv's plan:run to Adrian 3 times and punt.



We won!!!!!!

I hope the late game scare is a wake up call that the game is never over and you have to focus for a 60minute game.

Now can we beat Seattle? Don't know, but we won so tonight we can be happy!!!
NFC North Champions!!

Might be a shorter list to name guys that are healthy

Forgive me for not being heartbroken, we still split with you and are in the playoffs as a low seed just like the ol days.

But it was an excellent win for you guys, one that I think you really could have used.

Teddy was bad, and the Vikings still won, on the road, against a GB team that won convincingly in Minnesota. Getting Joseph back will be huge. I think the Vikings can ride this defense far if they're healthy.

It's all good JG. What would the game be without rivalry and competition?
