Hmmmm....
Not sure about betting this one, in spite of the gaudy record.
Short week
West Coast
At Seattle, where we historically dont play well
OTOH, maybe this is a different year? Different team?
Also sounds like we're getting O'Neil on Sunday and possibly Gilmore back.
Not sure if G.Smith will be playing or not.

Weather is always a concern there this time of year, looks like it is going to be around 50 and the winds not too bad, but 80% of rain, hopefully we get the 20%!

Haven't won there since 2006, certainly time to reset that date.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

It wasnt nearly as amped as it should have been for primetime against a division foe with what weve got on the line. Had a pretty decent time though thanks.
I looked tonight about coming back over for the pack game, but those tickets are outrageous.

Of course its going to rain, its Seattle in late December. I hate shit weather for football. Fumbles, INTs, slippery balls for dropped passes, etc. brings luck in as a major factor.

Weather is the great equalizer. And it probably helps Seattle more than us.

100%
We are an offense based on precision, timing and speed...
Slobberknocker game definitely favors the home team.
Any word on who their QB will be yet?

I was at that game! Chester Taylor rambled around the left end for a huge 95 yard TD (longest rush for a Viking at the time) on his way to a 169 yard day, when we won 31-13. I remember when he turned the corner and I was the only standing and screaming (and everyone around me was eerily silent).
I remember Matt Hasselback got knocked out of the game and Seneca Wallace came in with incredibly marginal (and predictable) results. Reason #268 why you should have a solid backup in the NFL.
At least the Seahawks fans were pleasant.

Speaking of weather, have the Vikings played a single cold game this year? I can't recall any. If we have to travel to Philly in January it could be a rude awakening for a team that hasn't played in it.
