Hat tip, I didn't think they could do it
Congrats to them.
the Vikings games versus Lions and Packers will absolutely influence NFC playoff seeding.
For JJ it's not playoff experience but it's the next closest thing because the games matter.
Minnesota is out, I get it, l BUT they can do someb major damage on the way out.
US Bank Stadium is gonna be rocking ...
LFG!

Yep, if JJM can end the year with back to back games at USB playing well, fans will be elated to head into next year knowing who QB1 is. And try and do as much damage to NFCN seeding as possible along the way. Going to be some big ol' tears this morning in Wisconsin over that loss, hilarious...now is when their tie really hurts them. Oh did you see Caleb's off balance 'mechanics' on that deep beautiful throw to Moore to win it, lol?? It looked like McCarthy launching that, leg whip and all. NOBODY CARES. Just be accurate. Going to be some Bear's fans rooting for Minnesota in the Green Bay -Vikings game upcoming. Lions are basically going to have to win their remaining 3 games to get into the playoffs as a wildcard or division winner.
Bottom line: there aren't any world beaters in the NFCN, so Minnesota should be in the mix for the title next year with an improved McCarthy.

I see the stadium situation becoming more like a neutral site game at best with many Vikings fans dumping their tickets and packers ( who typically have a heavy presence in minny anyway) and lions fans snapping them up.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Caleb Williams with some big time throws in the clutch and was ridiculous all night evading the rush.
Tough to watch Nashon Wright, a castoff by the "brilliant" Brian Flores turning into one of the better CBs in the league. He has as many interceptions than our entire team! I think Flores is an awful talent evaluator, especially in the secondary where 3 guys he cut Wright, Reddy Stewart and Blackmon would all be playing valuable time in our brutal secondary.

Very memorable ending. Fun to watch. Ben Johnson is trending in the right direction.

I was at a Christmas party last night with a bunch of Packer friends. The guys all congregated in the garage and watched the game. They were pretty cocky even after Love was knocked out. That ending was absolutely glorious.

Man, have we been watching the same team?! I think what BFlo and the Vikings D has done this year is nothing short of amazing.
I thought that shallow pool of DB's would get torched this year, I was so wrong...
The Vikings are #5 D vs pass:

Heading into NYG, they have not allowed a TD pass in 5 consecutive games:
The Vikings' secondary was noted as the first since New England in 2019 to achieve this feat, showcasing a significant defensive accomplishment for the team in late

A FG would have won it and they were almost in range when Caleb uncorked the killshot. Impressive comeback. Rough couple weeks for the Pack.

That's just VDS, Viking Derangement Syndrome. It's where most Viking fans think their team is far worse than it really is. It has a cure though: Context and the naked truth.
