That could easily be Steve -o as # 22 doesn't make mistakes very often & that's why he's 1 of our leaders on defense. But I'm still willing to bet that the % of games won when you have 4 TO's is near 0, 5% at best, even if it's a home game. They lost & it was a tough game to lose so everyone wants to point a finger at somebody.

yea well i blame seattle for NOT scoring 42 points!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Bet you wouldn't have liked it if it was 41 though.

[Gunner55]

Nice win yday , was a little disappointed when they scored. The defense looked better with Joseph back in there to plug the middle against the run. Hunter's big game & the change in the secondary helped the pass defense too. Good to see Cook & Reiff in there on the other side of the ball as well. Cousins had another good game(24/30) & thought I heard 'em say at 1/2 time that his 11 completions had went to 9 different guys. Sounds like Thielin will be back next week , hope so.

It still feels like we are an above average, below elite-level team.  Like Bill Parcells sez...  You are what your record says you are.  And in the case of the Vikes, I think he is right again.

Its the Vikings M.O. to kick away a couple of games they had a chance to win and either miss the playoffs or give themselves a tougher road.  But I guess you could say this of all such teams with similar records.  Still, its rare when the Vikes steal a game they were expected to lose.  Hopefully they can get a little healthier and hotter toward the end of the season and perhaps their opponents will be trending in the opposite direction.

Apologies to Kurt Cousins - the "Joe Mauer" of the MN Vikings.  Who wouldn't like a fiery leader like Drew Brees, Russel Wilson or Patrick Mahomes?  But our "steady Eddie" is getting the job done for the most part.  Man, I wish we would have had a healthy Thelen all season.

Minnesota Vikings (9-4) @ Los Angeles Chargers (5-8)
Gamet on Sunday, Dec. 15, 4:05 p.m. EST

  ....
The Vikings maintained their perfect record at home in Week 14 by beating David Blough and the Lions 20-7. By rebounding from their narrow loss to the Seahawks to earn a victory against a division rival, the Vikings maintained their grip on the final wild card spot in the NFC and stayed within a game of the Packers for the NFC North lead, with a game against Green Bay coming in Week 16.

They can’t look ahead to that all-important, and potentially division-deciding game too quickly though. The Packers themselves learned the hard way how traveling out to California and taking the Chargers lightly could come back to bite you.

Los Angeles, who is eliminated, broke its three-game losing streak last week by thrashing the Jaguars 45-10 in Jacksonville in a game where Philip Rivers threw three touchdowns without an interception and Austin Ekeler rushed for 101 yards on just eight carries while racking up an additional 112 receiving yards.

This game means everything for the Vikings, as a loss would hurt their wild card chances and all but end their shot at an NFC North title. For the Chargers, it’s about making their record look better at season’s end and possibly strengthening the case to keep coach Anthony Lynn on board next season.

[Reinhard]

Yep,  all the games left will be tough.  Bright side is that we get Thielen back I believe.  We are pretty much healthy also which is a big plus.  Our defense must give Rivers a lot of pressure.  good luck.

[Gunner55]

I really hate to say this but I might have to root for the Cowboys today as they're playin the Rams & they're right behind us in the WC race. Even though I think JJ is a  . Shouldn't really be a problem if the Vikes take care of business today though as LA has the 49'ers in SF next week.

[LPS]

I just looked and the Bears - Packers game is on Fox at noon.  Man I am looking forward to that game too.  Go Bears!!

[Gunner55]

Our Guide is all messed up & it doesn't even say anybody is coverin the Vikes. Google says different, 3:00/CBS.

[glenn57]

Says WCCO up this way to.

Well them bears sure aren't helping the cause.

[glenn57]

Man with all the breaks the Vikings have had they should of put this game away already.

[Rebel SS]

But now Cook wracked the shoulder again............

[glenn57]

Yes. just what we needed.

[Gunner55]

But now Cook wracked the shoulder again............

Smiling & laughing on the sideline soon after he came out of the medical tent though so I'm hopin it's not that bad. Hope not we need him even though Boone has looked good since he came in.

[Rebel SS]

DirecTV doesn't even list the game!!! Says some movie is on! And who is that %$#@ announcer that keeps yapping about the "whistle blew"....whistle blows after, confuses players"...."Oh, that doesn't look good"....analyzes every second....SHADDUP!!!! 

[Gunner55]

Greg Gumbel is the main guy & he's with Trent Green?

[Rebel SS]

It's Green.....    Thanks, Gunner!

[Gunner55]

It's Green.....    Thanks, Gunner!

What? He's a ex KC guy.

[Rebel SS]

Ya, I know......it's all those concussions. How about those Chiefs!
