PrplChilPill Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I hope they rest as many players as possible next week. That field is an injury waiting to happen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our 3rd string center, our top 5 RT went out today, and we’ve been down to our 4th/5th cb. I’d like to see the team get healthier before the playoffs - regardless of health relative to the rest of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 So many on this forum are down on the team....again. This team went on the road and beat Washington, Miami, NYJ and Buffalo! We beat the Patriots and the Giants. All those teams are in the playoffs or were competing for the playoffs late in the season. I think the Vikings have a chance to beat any team in the league. Our stinker games are few and far between. The season ain't over and we know we will be in the playoffs! It's good to be a Vikings fan!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to be a Vikings fan!!! We beat fringe playoff teams which is what we truly are. I don’t think we have the ability to really compete with the top of the class ie SF, Dallas, Philly and now apparently GB. I’m confident we can beat the Giants in round one but after that, I expect a complete beat down. Would love to get a second home game in the playoffs but that would require SF losing to GB.

All the teams you mention can be beat...and they can be beat by the Vikings. Will it happen? I don't know. CAN it happen? Absolutely! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I would rather get blown out in the second game as it provides an edge for the team in the potential third meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me if you have any questions. - ET I apologize to @vike daddy for making that suggestion. I should have instead invited him to explain his belief that Jaire Alexander, who obtained a Criminal Justice degree in 3 years, is unintelligent based off presumably hearing a 30 second video clip of him talking trash to an opponent in the locker room. That could have prevented this whole thing and hopefully lead to some personal insight. Hopefully there isn't, but if there is a next time I won't bring it up in an accusatory way.

Morlee Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) Ouch. This one hurt for many reasons, but Philadelphia lost too. Aren’t they likely saving Hurts for the playoffs? They probably drop the game to the Giants too. But we go out there and drop this game to a team that is nowhere near as good as they looked. It seems like our “luck” is running out. We play unreal and crazy games, and come out on top. Yet when we lose, we lose badly to good teams. Just come on already. I haven’t given up on this team but I cannot see Minnesota beating San Francisco, Philadelphia, Dallas, or even lower seeds. I don’t know what this team is. It’s been fun and crazy season, but this is the part that I never really felt good about - postseason football. I’m souring on this team a bit. Am I alone? Anyone else here not expecting much out of this team? What do you think @swede700 Edited January 3, 2023 by Morlee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else here not expecting much out of this team? What do you think @swede700 I’m with you. This team isn’t going anywhere this post season unless they can play NY or Tampa. Dallas, Philly and GB completely dominated us and I’m not confident about playing SF. It’s been a fun season but the reality is we’re not as good as a typical 2/3 seeded team. Feel like we’ve had a great deal of luck and good fortune in getting there. But sometimes that’s okay, some teams can ride that into a strong post season run. Not sure Mn is that team. The defense is just so bad and the offense is practically useless until the fourth quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
