Vikings at Bears

It's going to be the typical Soldier Field slugfest. Doesn't matter the records, the Vikings struggle in Chicago and that's playing out to this point

How in the world is that not PI on Addison? I'm glad he caught it or steam would be coming out of my ears.

Nice challenge,  clearly his foot comes down out of bounds

Refs did everything they could to talk themselves from PI on JJ but they didn't want to embarass themselves. It was clearly PI.

Lol what a cluster fuck

Only the Vikings could blow this. No oressure by the defense letting shitty Caleb Williams do whatever he wants.

Total collapse by the Flores D

Good fking grief.

Gotta give Sam credit today, none of the problems were his.

27-16 with under a minute to play. Reminds me of the last game of the 2003 season vs the Cardinals when we were up 17-6 with under a minute to play. And the QB that beat us is congratulating Sam Darnold right now.

Just another routine victory…! :cool: :angel:

That was the first time in years and years that I got physically nauseous during a sporting event. The end of that game was like watching the Titanic slowly approach the iceberg, truly painful.

And then Sam and the offense rose up once again to win the game. Defense stepped up huge in OT too. Our kicker didn't do what our kicker usually does!

Man I wish things could've been a bit easier but sooooo happy we won. 9-2! Who'd have thought.

I texted my friend who's a Bears fan last night after some of the dust had settled and told him I felt sick for 30 mins there. He told me he's felt sick about CHI for 30 days, ha. They've had a brutal stretch.

Typical NFC North game. Doesn't seem to matter who's playing whom, or what their records are, the games will always be a bar fight. Even the Lions. They blow out everyone...except for the North. Both of their divisional games were tight. They have four division games remaining in their last 6.

Sam Darnold is one of only 3 #Vikings QBs in franchise history to throw for over 300 yards against the #Bears at Soldier Field 🤯

🥇2009: Brett Favre (394 yards)
🥈1999: Jeff George (374 yards)
🥉2024: Sam Darnold (330 yards)

Had we won in regulation as we should have, it would have been another game that felt like an ugly win, however the way both sides stepped up in OT it showed something promising in this team. With everything going against them, all the momentum on the other side and on the road with the crowd in a frenzy, they pulled together and played a flawless OT on both sides. What the offense did on that last drive was big time, especially considering they had to overcome two penalties. Darnold threw some absolute big time darts and our playmakers were able to find holes to get open. For me, it took from a ho hum win to something we can build on. Really liked what I saw in the way they responded and Darnold was ice in the clutch, which is what you need to win playoff games.

Darnold went 6-6 for 90 yards in overtime....gotta give him credit for coming up big when it counted.

I agree JR44. Although it sucked the game went into OT, valuable experience was gained. It's also good that this happened during a regular season game and not the playoffs. The onside kick situation, stopping the other team's offense, and then driving down the field for the W.

Mr Slugworth at it again...

The last #Vikings QB to throw this amount in Chicago was Jeff George. https://t.co/UPIXuxAaBr

The last time we were up by 11 with under 30 seconds left and lost was done by the guy in that picture congratulating Darnold.

I felt pretty confident throughout that whole game. I think we’re a resilient team. I think we’re a good team. I feel like past teams needed to find a way to make every game hyper dramatic. This years team just keeps stacking solid play on top of more solid play. There may be a handful of things that go awry, but for the most part, we’re consistently executing and it shows up as wins.

Having now experienced plenty of "ugly wins", I'm hoping that we get some dominant victories during our 3-game home stand. Seattle held the Cardinals to 6 points, and we've gotta in Seattle next month. Hopefully, we learned enough about both teams from that game.
