Vikings -10 vs Jags...
That's quite the spread...
As a fan, I'm having trouble firing-up for this week.
But as a long-time fan? I've realized the importance of relishing the few games left in the season too.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

My cardiologist would appreciate a blowout or at least a game that's never in question.
I don't know what to think. I do know I'm going to a local sports bar within walking distance from my house with a great outside area, getting hot wings and watching the game. Its going to be 80 degrees with zero humidity and absolutely gorgeous here in SoFlo all weekend.

I'm pretty damn happy right now weather wise.
60s and sunny in Denver on Sunday. Might find a patio, too.
@"MaroonBells" said: 60s and sunny in Denver on Sunday. Might find a patio, too.Yeah man, get out right? When the sun is out in Denver, like it usually is, you can hang outside in almost any weather as its strong with the height above sea level. There's a great sports bar in downtown Denver....can't think of the name...its like 3 levels and has this huge outdoor area. Maybe you know it?
@"StickyBun" said:Ha...you could be referring to any number of sports bars in Denver, especially downtown. Sports Column, Jacksons, Lodos...and that's not even talking about the ones across the highway in HIghlands or the new ones in RINO. If there's one thing Denver has a lot of, it's sports bars. It's been a while now, but I remember hearing at one point that Denver had more sports bars per capita than any other city in America. Probably due to the fact that the local teams are hugely popular and everyone here is from somewhere else.@"MaroonBells" said: 60s and sunny in Denver on Sunday. Might find a patio, too.

Were we a playoff team when we lost to the Cowboys just two weeks ago?Yep, I said the same thing in another thread. I really hope this isnt one of those games where we either blow it or it's super close until the end. Jags are bad and we are playing like a playoff team right now. Go cover that damn spreadA playoff team cruises past teams with losing records and wins at least half its games against other playoff teams. This team has made people think "playoff team" means struggling to get around .500 with no consistency and hoping to back into the last wildcard spot.

I think you're overrating what a playoff team is. Especially in 2020. Who are the "real" playoff teams in the NFC then? The Packers? Who were beaten by the Vikings and blown out by the Bucs? The Bucs? Who were beaten by the Bears and blown out by the Saints? The Saints? Who were beaten by the Packers and blown out by the Raiders?This year, more than any other, it comes down to who's healthy.
If you havent noticed, the NFC is extremely unpredictable right now. How we win doesnt matter, but we have won 3/4. The Dallas loss sucks, but we are one game out of the playoffs
Just looked at TV coverage, We have Beth Mowins and Jay Feely, can't recall ever having heard them before. Any reviews? Guess we aren't getting the top team, got the feeling this the other end, but I am sure they are all pro's .

I believe he was a kicker, believe your thinking of AJ Feeley. I was wondering about Mowins, this is her first Viking game she has doing NFL for a couple years, I haven't heard her before.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here & predict the first int by one of our corners this season... yeah! ;) B)
We better win this F'ing game. Seems to me like nothing will come easy for this Viking team this year.

RELAAAAX. What could go wrong? ;-)
Seriously though, Vikings are one game from the playoff field, and with the exception of ISJ are almost fully healthy now. And Jacksonville is on the other side of the "tank" scale. They're starting Napolean Dynamite. We're starting the hottest QB in the football right now. Vikings should win this...
(...he says remembering recent late-year must-win games the Vikings shanked)

I am used to her from college games. That game was absolutely brutal. I need a drink.
