The NFC keeps falling the Viking's way....

There are 6 games left, still a chance for the 1 seed.  Never know what's going to happen in the NFL.

That said, seems likely we'll be the #2 but need to keep winning if we want to hold that since SF is getting hot.

I think the magic number is 1 for the Packers and 2 for the Lions for us to clinch the division.  Pretty sure regardless of what happens this week, we can clinch if we beat Detroit in Week 13.

The #Vikings can clinch the NFC North with a win against the #Jets and a #Lions loss (against Jacksonville).

Philly just finished the cheese cake part of their schedule. Now they play the Titans at home, then three straight on the road at NYG, at Bears, at Cowboys, then the Saints and Giants again. There's at least a couple losses in that. 

So he doesn’t want to play anymore if they’re out of it?

Strange comment to make as starting QB and leader of team. https://t.co/T7fICE154M

  I thought Love looked good last night...They may be ready to run with him for some games yet this year. They got the excuse in the butt injury Rogers has.

I don't know if he deserves heat for this...  I'm sure LaFleur and the front office have already talked about what would happen if/when they are eliminated.  He's got a thumb injury and now a rib injury...  Pretty sure they've told Aaron if they are out, then he'll be sitting out to heal up. Packers know they have to figure out what they have in Love in case Rodgers retires or wants out.

It would just be the Vikings luck for this to be the year that they eliminated the bye for the #2 seed and we finish at 2.  Philly has looked pretty dominant, but they did give up 33 points to GB which is the most points they have scored all year and gave up 114 yards in less than a quarter to a QB with 70 career pass attempts.  Personally, I don't think it is a recipe for success when your QB has more rushing than passing yards.  I don't see that being sustainable in the long run.  If we take care of business I think we could have a shot at the 1 spot.

On the contrary, I see 1 loss at most.  The Saints are trash, the Bears D might give up 50 and the NYG are fading.  Maybe they lose @Dallas but that's it.  The Vikings had their chance for the 1 seed vs. Dallas and forgot to show up for it.  Now they have to do it the hard way.

I saw a stat Sunday night that with the win over GB, Eagles have 70% odds of winning #1 seed. 

I'm on board with some of the good religion going around the board and that is just enjoy the year for what it is...I am not expecting too much honestly this post-season and with this D.

I think you're underrating those teams and overrating Philly. In the last three games, Philly has lost to Washington, beat the Colts by 1 pt, then the Packers by one score in a shootout. 

I don't know what seed we'll be, because I think we're a little overrated too. But I think toward the end of the year the 49ers and Dallas will emerge as the teams to beat. 

This Vikings team has not even sniffed peaking.   The Eagles could very well have peaked, The niners could be peaking now.  If the Vikings clinch the division next week the what two months to figure out how to be prepared for the playoffs...when you want to be peaking.

It might be a little wishful thinking on my part, but the offense we saw against a very good Patriots defense appeared to have turned a corner. Far from perfect, but I think that might have been more of what KOC had in mind. That, timed with the return of key players on both sides of the ball, could act like a kind of slingshot for the Vikings going into the homestretch. 

If Hurts keeps running the ball like he has been he will not finish the season.
