SemperFeist Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The Vikings playoff chance climb to 83% with a win, chances drop to 43% with a loss. Currently at 59% to make the playoffs. Not necessarily a must win, but it kind of is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I want to see the Vikings have the type of game that makes Kyle Shanahan cry himself to sleep holding a picture of Kirk Cousins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he’s been doing that for years already. Definitely a must win. This feels like a playoff game and the Vikes need to start controlling their own destiny. Seems we’ve fought our way back to .500 multiple times just to hit another bump. Edited November 22, 2021 by vikingsrule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next 4 games are against SF, DET, PIT, and CHI. I feel like they need to go 3/4 in those games. If they are the team that they want us to believe they are.

Assume MN wins the next two (very possible) and the Packers lose to LA (also very possible with the injuries they have) that would put us one game back of the NFC North lead. The Packers schedule looks pretty light down the stretch unfortunately. Edited November 22, 2021 by vikingsrule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers schedule looks pretty light down the stretch unfortunately. Winning the division is probably nothing more than a pipe dream, at this point. To even have a reasonable shot, the Vikings would have to run the table, and hope that GB stumbles against a team like LA, or Baltimore. I’m also hoping for a Lions win over Chicago on Thanksgiving. I want the Lions to have that no-win monkey off their back. Edited November 22, 2021 by SemperFeist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 It's amazing what a win over the Packers does for fan confidence!!! This is going to be a hard game for the Vikings. It's generally tough when a team travels west, and the 49ers are a quality football team; although not one without vulnarabilities. The keys to the game will be shutting down Deebo and Kittle, and making sure Kirk has time to find JJ and Adam (assuming Zimmer doesn't go back to 1960's football). We're going to need our defense to step up the rest of the season. We're about as healthy as we're going to get, so we need to find the right guys to put out there and hope they can play better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not all that confident, because we know how fragile they are at the ends of games or halves. It's hard to know whether this team can use these experiences to their advantage in the playoffs (if they make it) or if it's just another sign of how they'd be a quick exit. I'm going to just attempt to enjoy it as it goes and not get too confident, especially based on how often we've been let down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
