alvin had 190 yards from scrimmage yesterday. This doesn’t get enough attention.
@Take out the long pass plays though@
His fumble kinda over shadowed his huge day
Argentina won in penalties over France
@I know all of you were watching@
RIP GA Skol
So, the team with the most penalties wins? Man, too bad the NFL didn’t use that scale last year, the Vikes may have won it all.
@exactly@
PFF currently has the Vikings ranked 4th-best team in the NFL, going by overall team grade.
After yesterday’s performance, our defense has moved up to 31st in the NFL in passing yards allowed/game and points allowed/game.
The offense is now up to 8th best in the NFL in points scored/game.
7th in the league in passing yards/game, and 28th in rushing yards/game.
We’re not last anymore
Tony Michalek is the name of yesterday’s officiating crew chief, we should remember that name from now on.
He sucks
He may be lower than Jerome Boger, and that’s saying A LOT.
Booger is a moran
I’m convinced that he’s on mushrooms. He sees things that aren’t there.
And chains changing things up in the second half, throwing for 400 yards (thanks JJ, KJ, Cook, and Adam) two games stacked back to back.
Kiddo and I went to a hockey game last night, first time either of us have been to a hockey game. Hell, I’ve never even watched an entire game on TV before. It was pretty fun, I have to say. It’s a really fast game, we had a great time.
Odd thing happened. These two hockey players were fighting, beating the hell out of each other, then these two refs come in, they each take a player and hug them and skate away, then the game is back on again. I was laughing my ass off.
I took my wife to a couple of Avalanche games when we lived Colorado
She had never seen a game before but really enjoyed them
It was fun. We didn’t stay to the end, but we stayed into the 3rd period, it was getting late & we were tired.
😂 😂
Have to give the team kudos for grinding out a win, but man the first half was bad and the officials were just as bad.
Yup, first half play was horrendous, reffing was almost worse and lasted the entire game.
Everything that could possibly go wrong, did.
That 1st half sucked
and… other than the refs, the second-half (fourth quarter) was pure magic
Was a pleasure to watch.
It sure got exciting as the game inched within grasp even with the ref taking a scoop and score off the scoreboard as Cook made up for his fumble
Yeah, the fact that they got hosed by the officials on several occasions (in a major way, taking 2 Vikings touchdowns off the scoreboard) makes the comeback even more amazing
😂
The crowd helped the cause, the bank had to be electric in the second half after being a morgue in the first half. Can’t blame those who left at the half, it seemed impossible to pull out of the game.
lol
Love this one!
Good morning. I’m sure there are “Kings of the North” memes out there on Twitter, feel free to drop them here.
still doing this after watching that game
Man, no kidding.
