Anyone else tired of the Divisional Round Fake News coverage yet?

The paid Fake News talking heads on ESPN, NFLN, CBS, etc. are already getting on my nerves and
it's only Tuesday. Many of them are pushing the Brady vs. Brees narrative and are minimizing all
of the Vikings' strengths that make them the favorite in this game so they can sell their agenda. 

Philly is getting it worse than we are. Nobody even gives them a chance against the Falcons. 

Can't wait to see all of them choke on their own bullshit, and wouldn't be surprised at all if we need
to travel to Philly for the NFC Championship.

If I'm betting money, I'm laying the points and taking the Falcons because I don't trust Foles either, and it looks like the Falcons are getting a break with the weather as the forecast for Saturday is 59. However, Ryan has a poor track record in Philly and even though their defense didn't play well down the stretch, he is very capable of putting up a crappy game like he did against us in Atlanta.

There is no doubt that the sports media like to fluff their favorite matches.  Keenum for better or worse has done a great job beyond expectations.  Now get it done and make all the talking heads look like fools. Go Vikings!

It's Keenum & Fowles, what did we expect?  

A lot of pundits expect 1 or both of the top seeds to be gone by Sunday night and its because of the QB's. 

I suspect the networks are pining for Matty Ice vs Brees above anything.

I suspect we will be traveling to Philly. Then the talking heads that don't like Foles this week, will think he is great next week.

well Bill Polian did not get the memo.... he thinks the Vikings are a good team and will do well. Especially likes the defense and had some high praise for Keenum as well. Per NFL radio on XM.

Vikings are penalized nationally with the media because of Keenum.

Well of the teams remaining in the NFC playoffs our  QB is arguably the weakest of the bunch (although lately better than foles) and that is the most important position on the field so it's not surprising given Cases lack of playoff experience and the unknown there.

I am wondering why even Vikings fans think we have the worst QB left standing?  Who had the highest second best QBR this year?   
Case has earned some respect.

I get the feeling this team is going to kick the Saints ass up and down the field.  Nothing like getting no coverage like a home underdog.

And better yet...  Kamara and Ingram played 57 of the Saints 62 offensive snaps that week.  So...  what is really going to be different this time?  Are they going to play those two less?  LOL

They are a better team than week 1.  So are we.  Pretty much every team save Philly would say that.
