Vikings Discussion & Random Thoughts
It’s good to be back home, but I’ll be honest, I miss Florida, we’ll be heading back again sometime this year. It was raining here when we got home last night, and it’s supposed to get down in the 20s overnight with wind gusts up to 75 mph. The roads are gonna be a skating rink today.
I know there are a few of you here from Montana, you had some nasty weather yourself yesterday. I hope y’all are safe and sound. Yikes.
Vikings and NFL News
The Vikings-Giants week 16 initial injury report, from Vikings.com. Also, the Vikings placed Metellus and Greenard on IR, while Gavin Bartholomew returns to practice.
From CBS Sports, the Dolphins are benching Tua Tagovailoa and starting Quinn Ewers, and Puka Nacua has as high of an opinion of the NFL refs as many of us have, which isn’t very high.
The Bears are looking outside of Chicago, and even outside of Illinois, as they look for a location to build a new stadium, per ESPN. I don’t blame them. Hey, did you hear that Illinois is getting ANOTHER prison? Yeah, they’re putting a fence around Chicago.

Thread Guidelines
- Keep politics to a minimum. We are adults, news happens, and we can talk about it. What we don’t want is to go down rabbit holes and turn a productive conversation into name calling and personal attacks.
- Be respectful and civil. You don’t need to agree with everyone, you also don’t need to make it personal. Attack the argument, not the poster.
- Keep the NSFW language/pictures to a minimum. We don’t want anyone getting in trouble at work for hanging out here.
- To summarize, behave like adults. Treat each other with respect, and things will be fine. Mods will take out content they feel is pushing the boundary. If you want to reach out about something, please do. We want to have robust discussions, that’s why we’re here, just be civil.
- Twitter sized version: Be cool to one another.
Gruden… love this…
Jj could have been good next year too, but so glad we abandoned Darnold…. he’ll never amount to anything.
laughing
Its not play offs yet. They got very very very lucky with that 2pt conversion call. He did his best to Darnold it up with those picks.
G’night y’all, it’s WAY past my bedtime
Hope you set up tomorrow thread. #grin
Night… thanks for playin…
Heck of a game.
@defensive battle@
Couldn’t have asked for a better contest.
Seahawks win! Wow, what a game. Damn, that was friggin insane.
It really was, and happy for Sam.
WOW!!!!!!!
Ball game right here.
Last play of the game regardless.
Happy for Sam, glad he’s doing well.
Great game regardless tonight.
Time for 2??
Yup
Go for 2. Reach down & give ’em a tug.
Darnold with the TD pass!!!!
Throw a backwards pass off the defender’s head, have the RB pick up the ball in the end zone.
Laughing
TD!!!!
First and goal!
1st and goal from the 5 now.
Darnold gets it done… 21 yard pass.
That was a beauty. Amazing catch by Kupp to keep his feet in.
Ball at the 15, this game isn’t over.
Holy shit. That catch by Kupp & throw by Sam. WOW
Nacua with 225 receiving yards. Hell of a night.
Dart from Sam to Smith Ninja, nice throw & catch.
Beavis hits the XP, 37-30. One more drive to tie/win.
If you score the TD, do you go for 2? I would.
YES
Me too, wouldn’t think about it at all, go for the win. Screw tying.
Maybe.
Does Nacua have a billion yards in this game??
Lambs reached 35 pts Brad, -3 to FF.
I’m down to 2 points. Better than negative. They shouldn’t give up or score any more tonight
Unless Seattle ties it and OT goes on.
Don’t tempt them.
Stafford with 451 yards and 3 TD’s tonight. Now has 40 TD’s on the year.
Touchdown Rims. I lose 3 more points.
Seachickens will get one shot.
Wow… 41 yard TD pass!
Stafford too a shot there.
I think he had his hands under it, it was close.
Rams lucked out there…
Call could’ve easily gone either way.
AND… an interception on a bobbled pass!
I think that’s a pick!!!!!!
2 more points for me if it stands.
Nope, that’ll get reversed. Ball hit the ground & moved.
questionable.
Pretty ticky tac penalty there.
Illegal contact, 5 yards first down…
Stafford over 400 yards…
Great return but of course there is a flag.
Every time
Kick returned to midfield, obligatory flag on the kickoff to call it back.
Laughing…
Good one,
Will have to figure how to get that into a conversation.
Do they really need to explain the damn rules on the field before every OT? McNabb isn’t out there, I think everyone knows how the game works.
This was a do or die game for both teams, and now we’re in overtime…
‘Do or die’??
They are both making the playoffs.
Do or thrive less?
The Niners are only one game back…
Pretty much a guarantee that 3 teams from that division are going to the playoffs.
For 7/8 of the game, it was all offense. The last 1/8 has been a defensive battle.
Totally
Darnold sacked… OT
DArnold sacked, this’ll go to OT.
Darnold with another chance.
Sam needs to be careful here.
He needs that 4th Int.
4th and 10 too far for FG.
OT looks possible.
3rd and 10. Seems like they’ve been converting 3rd and long a lot tonight.
Nope. 4th. Punt upcoming.
Rums have one TO left. A sack would be massive.
The cats are thrilled… sound asleep on the bed…
Ours are both zonked out, too.
15 yards or so to fg range. Crazy ending.
Wow, injury cost Seattle a ttimeout. Clock stopped with the ball around midfield, 53 ticks left on the clock. 3rd and less than a yard.
3rd and 1 at the Rams 48.
