Vikes thread!

[LPS]

Too white for me.  I think they need purple horns.

[Rookie]

I agree......at least wear purple helmets.

   Still undefeated in those great looking new uniforms!!

  Was watching NFL Live on ESPN yday & they said according to ESPN Analytics the Vikes had just a 11% chance of being the #1 seed before last night's game.

[LPS]

Really?  That is almost 0.

Was watching NFL Live on ESPN yday & they said according to ESPN Analytics the Vikes had just a 11% chance of being the #1 seed before last night's game.

That 11% has got to include all the odds of Eagles, Lions, and Vikings winning or losing easy and tough games the rest of the way.

ESPN is also saying that if the Viking win out, they have a 98% chance of the top seed.  So that 2% must hinge on the Eagles also winning out and some obscure tie breakers that still will need to be computed as these last games are played out.

Next year's Vikings uniforms, Gunner will still like!    

[Steve-o]

great we get to listen to Buck and Aikman... they've never anything good about the vikes 

And them all white uniforms suck!

Yep, hate the gay snow flake suits!   

I kinda like the all white.

Its just the NFL Hype Machine still at it.  It gives home teams a reason to declare a "White Out" and an excuse for fans to go buy some new jerseys. 

The NFL doesn't care if these new uniforms are cooler or less cool than any other ones they design.  Some folks will like them more.  Some folks will like them less.  Just as long as everyone is talking about the NFL, that is what they want.

[Steve-o]

Yes, no doubt all this "if everyone wins out" talk leaves out the fact that the Vikes have the toughest games remaining on their schedule AND they need to finish IN Detroit.

One game at a time.  On any given Sunday.  It sure is fun rootin for a contender for a change.  Stay healthy.

sure doesnt look like dem Bears are gonna give the Vikes any help!!!!

[LPS]

I was rooting for the Bears.

[glenn57]

sure wish the Vikings defense would get more pressure on the qb 

[Gunner55]

sure doesnt look like dem Bears are gonna give the Vikes any help!!!!

Washington scores with :06 left to down the Eagles though!!

[Jerkbiat]

It is always scary when the Vikes control their own destiny. They could get the #1 seed now. Just need to take care of business.

[dutchboy]

It's a big task. Green Bay will be out for blood and if they escape that Detroit will be fighting to hold what they believe belongs to them.

[LPS]

Hope we can handle them both. 

[Gunner55]

Yeah, I agree db, the GB game actually scare me more & I can't even bring myself to think about Detroit until they show me they can beat the cheeseheads twice this year.   Irregardless, both games should be much like yday's...........................every play being a real battle. I hope Darnold's ankle heals quickly & Smith is able to go. The way GB runs the ball I'd like to see Pace come back off IR too. 

[markn]

It would be nice to win out and be #1, but if they are to lose one I'd rather lose in the next two weeks and then win out after that. Most importantly they're in the playoffs and that's where anything can happen, any week. Go Vikes.
