Lewis and the bengals to part ways at the end of the season per NFLN.   shouldnt make a difference in todays outcome,  but the players might be a bit more inspired to win one for their departing skipper.

When the Vikings clinch the division, yet end up as the second seed, do they start Teddy against the Bears in the season finale?

Star Wars
GoT
JRR Tolkien Trilogy

Pretty good comedy/drama...

Recommend it 4 episodes in.

In honor of our rivals from Cincinnati I decided that we would do their hometown specialty  "Skyline Chili",  if you arent familiar with this dish its not really a chili in the traditional midwest sense with bean tomatoes and onion and pepper chunks,  its basially a meat sauce with a pretty distinct flavor profile.

heres the kicker.... its served over spaghetti  (2 way) and then topped with cheese (3 way) add onions or kidney beans for the 4 way version,  or if you want to make it a party... beans and onions... yes folks that is a 5 WAY,  or an orgy... or as Barr likes to call it... Tuesday night.

it also makes a rocking chili dog which will also be on our menu,  as well as some fries as Tud loves him some chili fries ( and since his girl left for a long vacation he is needing some love :p )

Sorry, Barr... that's the best headline I could come up with... 

The excitement of a 5-0 start having long since vanished, the Vikings were preparing to face the Indianapolis Colts a year ago having won only twice in their past eight games.One of those victories had come the previous week in Jacksonville – a win that put Minnesota a game over .500 – but if those Vikings had any interest left in the season it clearly had vanished by Week 15.


The Vikings played maybe their worst game of Mike Zimmer’s tenure in getting embarrassed 34-6 at U.S. Bank Stadium by the mediocre Colts. They followed that up by having some defensive players go rogue in a 38-25 loss the next week at Lambeau Field.
Why do we bring up this one-year anniversary in the midst of the Vikings’ 10-3 season that should result with the clinching of the NFC North with a victory over the 5-8 Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium?
Because it’s important to understand how far the Vikings have come from this time last season and, in particular how far Zimmer seems to have come as coach.
