It will be an interesting matchup. Re-watching the film of the game a few weekends back, the Vikings didn't play all that great and still managed to win. This time around the Vikings will have their hands full along the O-line especially without O'Neill. Plenty of time to digest the matchups during the week but I still like the Vikings chances if they don't give up chunks on defense.
Agreed. We will need our QB play to be more efficient in this game than the first matchup.
I have to say (even though our defense is marginal at times), Danny Dimes impressed me with his ball placement, poise, and accuracy in that game. Throw in some mobility, he could develop into a pretty good QB.

It's not easy winning a playoff game and not easy beating a team 2 times in a season.
USB will be rocking and looking forward to being part of it.
They did a great job containing Barkley last time and will need to do that again to win
it took a career long, team record FG as the clock expired to beat them last time, they are supposedly going to be healthier on the DL, against a weaker OL for us, this matchup is far from comforting if you are looking to make a run in the post season.
This is the best matchup that we could've hoped for. Their pass rush is a concern against our banged up OL, but they have no WRs that can hurt us. Containing Barkley & keeping Jones in the pocket are the keys to winning this one.

I guess that's one way of looking at it... you could say the same thing about them, it took a long scoring drive, a 4th down conversion, and a 2 pt conversion for them to tie the game in the final minute to force us to make a game winning FG.
The Vikings were in the driver's seat in the 4th quarter up until that point. We don't need to act like our team is shit and got lucky in all our wins.

nope, not yesterdays, that was a straight up win. and nobody has said straight up shit, but are you going to say you are comfortable with the growth you have seen from this team this year? that the games havent left you wondering how good ( or bad ) this team really is?

Pick out someone else you’d like us to play lol. To win its going to take playing and beating great teams.
I’m just hopeful that the seachickens upset the 49ers because I think theyre the hardest out in the playoffs on the nfc side.

I would maybe have preferred the hags, just because we hadnt already played them. but yes, it would be nice not to have to face the niners, but after that it doesnt get any easier with it likely being the iggles or gurls, who both shit stomped our boys already this year.

But I thought it was hard beating a team twice...

I would say that is only applicable when the two are relatively equally matched, I dont see the Vikings on the same tier as the iggs or the gurls, honestly not even relatively close.
