Then consider the bears draft picks and salary cap situation....
I dunno man, The Vikings fan in me ain't feeling all warm and fuzzy.
No way to sugar coat this. We are sooo screwed. It used to be the 49ers, Seahawks, Eagles and sometimes Bucs, Rams and Packers we had to contend with in the NFC. Now we are battling for third at best in our division and its not going to end any time soon

Kirby Joseph is one of the dirtiest players in the league. Just hit Higbee the same way he sniped Hockenson. Knee hunter. Fuck that guy
Dirty bastard should be suspended, no call for that shit!
Detroit's DB's were holding all night. A whole lot of looking the other way...

I can recall at least 3 pretty blatant misses.

just as they did in the early 90’s playoffs, this team will be crushed and go back to their normal place / position in the NFL
This isn't your father's Detroit Lions.

I was going to say the same about the rams OL, I only watched about a quarter of the game, but the LA OL got away with several pretty blatant holding penalties.

Yep, I don't mean to say Detroit is some juggernaut. They aren't. They could have easily lost last night. But I don't think they'll fold up in the manner they used to back in the 90s. And as ga-ga as some are going over Green Bay, they lost 8 games this season. Both teams definitely trending in the right direction for the 2024 season.

No, I get it...
Bottom line is the optics (reality?) aren't good with how the Vikings are trending vs their North cousins.
On 1/15, fans wont remember how decimated the Vikings were. I still think we win the North with KC, team warts and all.
