If I could have given you a double like I would have Leech.     I have worn my 22 Smith jersey every game too. 

[LPS]

We will prevail!!!

Well I will have to confess to two changes to the wing Vodo this game. 

Every game until today the wings came from the small Coborn's in Sartell, using their fresh wing pack and the 4 brothers Buffalo hot wing sauce!  Today they only had some other brand fresh wings and had to switch to the Original Anchor Bar buffalo Wing sauce!  Looks like it's wasn't a "winning" combination.

I admire your superstition to help the game.  I am the same way.  I should have wore my Vikes hat for more mojo.

They scored more points against their opponents. 

[glenn57]

  i could take Leech response 2 ways, but won't go there.

I believe first it would be head to head W-L record.

  If two teams are tied in the division standings, the first tiebreaker is their head-to-head record against each other. From there, if the tied teams have an identical head-to-head record, the next tiebreaker is their divisional record. Following that, the next tiebreaker is their record against common opponents.

KO'C was not happy with all the penalties (8), especially since only 1 of 'em was on the defense. In particular, he was really disappointed with the last penalty which was an illegal formation call at midfield that took 'em out of range for a chance at a FG.

[Gunner55]

  Sure, would've been nice to get a 1st down on their next to last possession with < 3 minutes left too, so that Detroit would've had to burn a couple of their TO's. It was 3rd & 4 with JJ open on the right with enough for a 1st down but Darnold's throw was maybe 1 of his worst of the day.

[LPS]

We could have beat them handily without all of the penalties on offense.  Sam had to back up a few yards due to them all game.  Disgusting.  Those after bye games seem to be that kind of game for us.

That's when you have to pass when they think you are going to run and run when they think you are going to pass.

Who in the building didn't think KO'C wasn't going to run on 1st and 2nd down?

[mike89]

must be true... 

[Gunner55]

  Blake Cashman is out, as expected, while Evans, Hockenson and Risner are questionable. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hockenson and Risner are on the active roster and officially moved off IR this time. However, the Vikings will need to officially announce that, so whether they do or not before the game tomorrow will be a big clue about their status.

[LPS]

Sure hope we can pull this game tonight off.  GO Vikes.

[Gunner55]

SKOL!!!

[Gunner55]

Hockenson & Risner have been put back on IR. Jalen Redmond (DT) & Robert Tonyan (TE) have been activated off the practice squad as well.

They blew it last game.  They have to win this one on their own!!    Zorbaz left over pizza tonight! 

[fishwidow]

Hate to say it, but looks like we’re going into the downward spiral.

[fishwidow]

On the bright side, it’s Thursday night. I won’t be looking at wasting a nice Sunday afternoon in front of the TV.

Too many penalties.............again. They had 2-3 starters on the OL hurt & we still can't get a sack. So, Stafford lights up the secondary for 4 TD's. That PI on Murphy that led to their 2nd TD was total . The missed facemask penalty at the end didn't help matters any either.

I've been reading for the last year that Flores is the second coming.      Those 4 touchdowns must have been scored against Zims defense.  I thought there was a little jersey tug on that PI so i'm not real upset by that. I think the Viking coaches have both been schooled by the Lions and Rams head coaches. Seems Darnold sometimes tries to fire the ball into tight windows and other times he holds it looking for the receivers to get open more. 

World Series tonight so football goes to the back burner for 2 weeks.
