Mick sent this last night, Kirk and the passing offense really did a tremendous job against a tough defense.
I made a turkey on the smoker yesterday. You can see the before picture at the top of the article, here’s the after.
Woooooooooo! What a win yesterday. The Minnesota Vikings got their 9th win of the season yesterday evening as they defeated the Patriots 33-26 on Thanksgiving night football. It wasn’t easy, which is par for the course for the 2022 Vikings, but they got the win, which is also becoming par for the course for this team. In the end, the team is 9-2, and fivefingers owes Skoldiers and myself more cigars. I’ll see if I can make some room in my humidor. SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Minnesota Vikings News:
We brought you our post-game wrap-up.
Over at Vikings.com, hear Coach O’Connell’s post-game locker room speech, see all the highlights from last night’s game, and there is a TON more to sift through in the media vault. Also at Vikings.com, Justin Jefferson broke Randy Moss’ record for the most receiving yards in their first three seasons. This kid is going to be one of the best ever if he can stay healthy. It’s gonna be SO much fun watching his career.
Video of the Day:
It gives me immense pleasure to honor our tradition of playing the Vikings fight song the day after a win for the NINTH time this year! Give this one a listen, five! Enjoy!

4 pm and no end to black friday in sight. Just spent an hour following wife in jc penny while she tried on shoes and sweaters. I am on that planet in intersteller where an hour is a year.
Ran into my neice though. I gave her and her friend money to go eat so I could feel like I escaped with them vicariously.
Easily earning 10000000 marriage points today. That is almost what it takes to get her to empty the garbage!
Ah, love…
That’s a good man right there….
Huskers close to Rhule. How you feel?
I like it. I don’t hate Rhule. Had success at the college level before. Why not?
I went to the pharmacy and forgot what day it was to many. Traffic was terrible but no one at the pharmacy, which was nice.
(I am not trying to piss anyone off with this comment, I apologize if I did)
Well at least you’re back on your meds 😉
Yep, heart disease runs in the family unfortunately.
(I am not trying to piss anyone off with this comment, I apologize if I did)
Lol
Good husbanding, amigo.
Too bad we can’t work him in to use his speed on offense somehow.
(I am not trying to piss anyone off with this comment, I apologize if I did)
Ooops
Lol
I liked this guy during the draft… maybe he sucks.
More 2020 receivers for the Vikings!
I think Reagor is enough for now. Hopefully he can turn it around.
(I am not trying to piss anyone off with this comment, I apologize if I did)
Did anyone else enjoy dungy and Garrett last night?
i did
Yep. Both did well I thought
Tolerable.
they talked football and knew what they were talking about.
not like the dumdums on the nfl game.
Dungy at least. He is a not a continuous chatter like some color analyses.
Agreed
Puke can get eliminated from NFCN title if they lose Sunday in primetime to eagles.
Chicago already eliminated. Lions would theoretically be alive for another week
vikings need to just win their games right now
Nope.
pukers would be 4-8.
If they won out, they could still win the division.
If the Vikings win one more, it’s over.
I’m assuming we win tiebreakers but ya your right
Tie breakers:
head to head…..GB wins out, head to head is tied.
Division…Vikings lose out they are 3-3. GB wins out, they are 4-2
It won’t happen, but GB is not eliminated from the division with a loss on Sunday.
SKOLLY!
Wow huge get if true
So a good thing for the Huskers?
(I am not trying to piss anyone off with this comment, I apologize if I did)
Kodiak get rid of your stupid spoiler thing in parenthesis. Quit trolling then act like you aren’t trolling with that.
Not a fan, although it’s possible he learned some lessons from his NFL experience. You never know if someone with that big of an ego is capable of self reflection.
Wow Kirk was 30/37 passing yesterday
that’s decent right?
if only he had like 3 touchdowns too.
He sucks. Cut him.
kirk has looked better with his “pocket” awareness this year, right? and more so lately than at the beginning of the year too, or am i wrong?
just seems like he has been stepping up and to the side and running a bit more lately. (he did have that bad one where he could have run for a few yards but threw it behind AT i think)
He’s doing that gunslinger thing.
fuck it, chuck it, and find out.
no diffeent than case tossing to Diggs and AT or Cunningham/Pepper chucking it to Moss.
Everybody hates Kirk
I’m also starting to think.. that wkth how big Ed runs the defense… we’re never going to get a blowout win.
Agree
Even when he had success rushing the qb and what not… we get up and he reverts to his shell.
which… is frustrating. He can hold the same high power offenses lole
the Bills and eagles to the same results as the commies and Pats.
doesn’t make sense.
He plays bend but don’t break defense. Also def relies on turnovers too
They do and yes he does.
it isn’t going to produce a blowout win because they ease up and let everyone… no matter who ease back in.
I’m sure he knows more about football than I do… but it’s tough to watch sometimes.
Also, most of these guys never have played in 3-4 until this year. Plus some aren’t really built for it either.
could take 2-3 more years for the defense to have all the pieces to fit the 3-4 mold
That could be part of it, the other part is that we have a very thing secondary.
really impressed with Bynum. Mettallus looked good in his spots.
PP & Harry having a resurgence year
Tough to say what happens to or what Harry does next year.
im ready for some Asamoah too.
Also, our backup edge have been playing well.
I remember them saying this during the broadcast…
That was a thing of beauty.
Need more Sack
I wish they’d rest him the next month and get him right for the playoffs.
Hopefully this 10 day break will help.
If we clinch I wouldn’t mind shutting him down a couple weeks for playoff run
Skol Ed
Best oline we have had in 9 years I think
We kinda need packers to win on Sunday against iggles
No.
FTP.
Correct, but some people would rather the Vikings not end up with a chance at the #1 seed than see the packers beat the horseshit eaters.
I hope they…
TIE
To be honest… I don’t really care all that much about seeding.
in the last 3 weeks we’ve beat the Bills and Pats… and never showed up against the boys.
can’t figure this team out.
The first seed is huge though
Yeah for someone else to knock off so we can play at home!
how’s that first seed worked for the Pukes the last few years?
I would like that, but it would be best for packers to win, gross as that may be
I wonder if they’re getting trashed if Rodgers goes down hurt.
Also……pukes could just pound the ball down the eagles throat and that could be the key to victory.
they just keep winning their games and don’t worry about the iggles…
get the 2 seed and hope someone else steps up to knock ‘em off in playoffs so they can play at the bank to goto the bowl.
if they keep on winning
I’ll cheer for them to lose, but I’ll be okay if they win.
hey don’t call me out like that.
I GET IT OK?!?!?!
You have a good holiday FF?
very good. had fun family time yesterday, good food, walked out on the lake for a bit, great football game last night.
back at work today haha.
how about you? everyone healthy?
Mehhh two kids sniffling so we excused ourselves from the families festivities and did our own.
shich is fine… all those kids I don’t need to spread more plague. Even precovid we were pretty big on the “not doing family events wkth sick kids” and now everyone else has jumped on the bandwagon.
I worked 2x yesterday. 2 damn times!
Win win situation IMO.
Pack win = improves #1 seed chances
Pack lose = always fun
Nothing wrong with wanting the puke to win so they get a worse draft spot. They won’t make the play offs, so who cares. Wallowing in mediocrity is what they deserve for the next 40 years
you misspelt eternity.
Yeah, but I can’t root for the Peckers. I’d rather slam my dick in a patio door.
Can you not root for the Iggles more than you not root for the Pukers, then?
I can try. I’m just of the mindset that I’ll never root for the Peckers to win
I like where he’s going with this… but
We KnOW HoW ThIS eNDs
None of those were good things. That’s the difference between us, you think it’s good to be a loser.
69 lost super bowl
87 lost nfccg
88 lost divisional round
98 lost nfccg
00 lostnfccg
17lost nfccg
22 Will we lose our last game?
Winning on Thanksgiving means we lose our last game, not a good omen.
You replied exactly as I thought you would.
every season has ended in a loss… none of us were born yesterday.
Thank you for reminding us.
Some seasons, like 16 we ended in a win. We just didn’t make the playoffs. Just so everyone knows, I am not trying to piss anyone off with these comments.
Bills getting it too.
It’s all about who’s healthy and coming in hot in playoffs
Just wait until that baby curls up and flips into a bucket handle. Ooh the pain when the knee locks.
@but dvoa says we suck@
https://twitter.com/clappeddan/status/1596188877584228352?s=46&t=PIRUIuIOPWC5jODvVmzMLQ
Oh boy…..this will send the doomers to therapy
Yep
beaker is having a great season even though it isn’t that good for him statistically. Things keep going the way they are we could win the Owl.
@but Kirk can´t beat teams with a winning record@
WhoooooaaaaaaAA
He sucks cut him
WANGO TANGO!!!!
If you guys are sober tomorrow NFLN is showing the Purple again at 6:00 CST. You can watch the catch/non-catch again.
PM
I don’t like instant replay.
I re-watched already this morning on my NFL+ thingy.
I will probably do that tonight.
-6.5 again baby
Besides still being a good athlete at his age, he is smart. I’m still going on and on about him being so smart as to lift up the player and making sure he did not get out of bounds on the second to last play of the game.
That was an elite move. Glad the Cardinals thought Pat Pete is washed and let us sign him.
It is kind of nice to get an older vet that is not washed up.
It’s really nice his price tag dropped to where we could afford it. Cards got rid of him because he wanted too much money. Cost us 10-11 mill last season. Had no interest in FA so he signed for around 3 I think. Bargain.
I didn’t know he was ranked that high. Huge!!!
Good to have a few guys who can make game changing plays like that.
It’s surprising that many players are having career years. Theilen is not but JJ is getting all the targets, a lot of others are though.
(I am not trying to piss anyone off with this comment, I apologize if I did)
I thought he was done after last year and that is why I don’t evaluate players for a living.
Now do Larry Fitz
Games look like they suck Sunday in Minny. When purple are off it’s always the Bears.
I get the Bengals again, UGH!
Lets all try and get along today.
I think we won yesterday.
Told you we would chief
You called it.$$
Amen, brother
Found the Black Friday crowds. Bought two pairs of Levis and a Simpsons shirt.
You are welcome, economy.
Lol
someone went to Walmart.
Kiddo and I went and ate, then came back home. Putting up Christmas lights, roof was too slippery yesterday, so just finishing the peaks now. I’ll have a video to post tonight. Can’t wait! I’m like a kid when it comes to Christmas lights.
Maybe you will have to do a Fan Post (or whatever those are called).
Gonna add this to my collection
Recap Haiku
Vikings beat the pats
two m***********s are sad
F**k the f*****g Pack
F THE PACK!
LOLOLOL
@kirk can’t win a primetime game@
Also Kene is back!! He’s been MIA on kick returns all season but man… that was huge
I thought we had to take out the long runs.
Perfect timing as some people were bitching about him just before that
I was. If I cared I’d dig up the comment.
then he runs it back and I laugh about it. Ill take it
Maybe it’s an omen and you could bitch about someone else next week and they could then get a pick 6 or score a td some other way😁
(I am not trying to piss anyone off with this comment, I apologize if I did)
Awesome play calls by KOC. Was impressed. A few predictable runs but liked working Reagor in, JJ throw, etc
He seemed to figure out a few things after last weeks mess.
imagine watching the game last night and still thinking hunter henry’s “catch” was actually a catch.
Imagine still posting about it below as well. Its almost like a certain person or persons don’t like it when we win.
Hmmmm.
We don’t have a Supreme Fan Court of Football Rulings.
We have to get by with lower-court rulings.
Whats the over/under on Ben being crabby today?
Yes.
Always crabby when Vikes win
You have me confused with someone else
I’ve not noticed that from him.
He was crabby once, so I’ve decided to pretend he’s always crabby.
Don’t let him know its what I’m doing though.
Playing pretend is fun.
Not crabby, though I am busy with two daughters while my wife is Black Friday shopping
Your wife can’t be on a computer and watch kids?
how’s she do it when she’s cutting the grass?
It makes her happy and I get some dad time with the girls, hard to be crabby with happy baby
Beautiful baby Ben. You are correct.
Awesome times! Hang on to those memories.
Love that!
That is awesome.
I’m just going to assume the baby looks like your wife.
Adorable! Enjoy every minute, they grow so fast. Can’t believe my first grand is already 8.
My wife gave that up years ago. It was an event to do with sisters and daughter. It just became to much. I could never do it, I would probably end up in prison for hurting someone.
I think it’s calmed down now that most is online.
but I’ll be damned if I’m getting stabbed for a 129 dollar TV marked down to 89
I’m eating Chic fila. I’m Also really hung over.
we’ve got raising canes, chick fila good too
My wife calls that Chick-a-flick.
You could look at it like you GET to be busy with 2 daughters instead of being out in that horrible black Friday garbage.
Bills called for 12 men on field yesterday.
Refs must have had basic math classes this week.
LOL, noticed that too. Maybe the Bills are trying the 12 men stuff on a regular basis?
I’m happy we have beaker balls of steel for our qb. SKOL!
Are you mad we won?
Almost seems like it.
Always is
Well, I’m in a great mood today. On a day where we ran the ball 27 times for 57 yards, Kirk balled out and we won. In primetime. Against DVOA’s #1 ranked defense. KOC seemed to get his shit together and had some pretty decent play calls lined up as well.
Rec
F THE DVOA!
im a SVOA kind of guy.
I go by wins
Maybe the DVOA isn’t infallible.
yeah it’s above my head.
im left curve though
One could get the impression.
You dropped this…
I saw someone wearing one of those ugly fucking things at the Vikings-Dolphins game in Miami. Fuckers are deranged.
Love this team! Huge win. Kirky balled out when the running game and defense weren’t doing anything
Yes, he has balls of steel, what a winner we have.
Skolly walking the talk at -6.5
Me owning 5 as normal
Haha suck it doomers like kfey, Pete, 5, kodiak, etc.
Vegas said -2.5, Skolly said -6.5.
Skolly won big yesterday. Owned 5 again too.
Skol to the bowl baby!!! We coming
Is Kfey a doomer?
Pete just loves DVOA too much. Also has really bad personal hygiene. Plus I hear pets and children are scared of him.
Said we’d lose badly. I said we’d own them. Tripled what Vegas gave us.
Pete wants Vikes to have better stats but all that matters are wins. Pete does like the Vikes though I’ll give him that.
kfey doomer though
Thanks for not being a hole in the ass.
Takes one to know one
Watching the game, last night, the crowd seemed very quiet for a large period of time. Anyone else get that impression? Maybe too much turkey in the bellies?
Anyway, they got very loud towards the end. Great SKOL chants!
They were very quiet when Vikes had the ball which they should have been. I thought the crowed was amped.
It was fun being able to hear Kirk make all the calls at the line.

Lol
The smoked bird looks good.
I injected mine with Garlic and Herb seasoning. Some Penzies (Not Pansies) Galena Street rub for the outside.
It was very good, and I am sad that there are not more leftovers.
I made 16 pounds for 6 people, and I will get one sandwich today and it’s gone.
That sounds awesome
Yeah, injected this with a mixture of butter and herbs. ‘Twas wonderful. Not many leftovers left for us, either.
Both sound awesome!
My wife did a traditional baked turkey. Very good! She knows how to do it.
I’ve been cooking a turkey on the smoker for probably the last 8 or 9 years, it’s become a tradition for us. So dang good.
We had a really good smoked turkey yesterday too.
I didn’t have to do anything. It just showed up with one of my brothers.
26 showed up?
Everyone came. We went through two big turkeys. Not much left over. Kinda bummed. I almost want to get another turkey just for some leftovers. I was tempted to go on the game thread, but figured I should interact with the guests. I jumped on briefly and don’t think I even posted anything.
I had a good time. Just ate a piece of pie for breakfast, and might do a little shopping later.
That’s a crowd, seating must have been interesting.
Kiddy tables are always a sore subject…
It all worked out well. I’m kinda hung over today. Scotch beer wine and even some rum last night.
It sucks when company eats all the good food.
Penzy seasonings are awesome. Owner is ultra lib though. Makes it tough to support
