Aloha Skoloholics, it’s finally PLAYOFF GAME TIME!!!!!!!!! The Vikings host the Giants today at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, kickoff is at 3:30 central time. Skoldiers posted the latest Skoldiers’ Spreads, where you can see all the betting information for the game. Check out the updated injury report at Vikings.com.
Still sucks.
This defense frustrates me.
Why are they rushing Zadarius so fucking high. He give Jones the under lane to either rush or pause the defense and pass. Fucking stupid.
2nd half thread

if we don’t get some correct pass rush pressure from the inside and quit running high and around giving Jones easy step up lanes to run for 20 we’re going to get murdered. Keep an extra guy in at the second level to spy and make him throw to beat us and that also allows your pass rush maybe get home if he stops running.
It’s games like this that make me hate NFL QB protection rules. Jones has been running all over us but he’s outside the picket and staying upright. The Cikings need to drill him but you can tell they’re afraid of the penalty. I’m not condoning trying to injury guys, but if he’s going to run like a RB, he needs to get hit like one.
Curious to see Vikings half time adjustments. Only down by three not bad though.
Can Donatell get fired at halftime?
I hope so. Although in games like this (I.e. score is close) they’ve typically made some good halftime adjustments on defense.
So I’m not expert on offense. But that idiotic throw back to Kirk would work in man coverage and is fucked in Zone.
Why not run motion and find out before?
It would’ve in man but yeah the clock was ticking down and don’t think they had time to do that
Not only that….the Giants had been in zone the entire game!! Why think they’ll switch to man all of a sudden and call a play that’s dependent on it being man. Dumb.
Giants get ball at half
Pick 6 would be nice if they want to keep throwing.
Vikings content with score no tomeout
Thank God. We got a stop. Best not to fuck it up getting xute
Jones will throw a pick if he keeps doing that
He will, eventually.
We need to jump those routes
Kirk playing well. It’s the defense
Defense needs to get it´s collective shit together. Like, right now.
So the three incompletions weren’t Kirk’s fault?
Check
That’s not the point. Just saying Kirk is playing decent
Everything is Kirk´s fault.
Check
He hates Kirk so it’s expected
Giants interior DL is tossing Terds and Ingram around like raggedy ann dolls.
Dexter Lawrence is one of the best NT right now in the game. Better than Donald
Don’t get the TO there. Could’ve killed 25 more second and then score. If not you still have 3 timeouts to get 3 plays off.
Horrible clock management. Danny has to much time
Back in it.
Defense better hold or I am taking over D’s playcalling. Enough is enough.
45 secs = 75 rushing yards for Jones.
Not ded yet
Feel a little better….
Could’ve killed more clock there
Well at least Cousins is on point and dispelling the late game myth.
So far….yes
Why did we call a TO there? Now they have time for a TD or two maybe with our defense…
KOC has zero clock awareness.
German announcers were convinced the timeout was taken to discuss the play call. If true, it at least worked…
Td donnie
Must raise that score some more…preferably by 7.
KJ!!!
KJ!!
Why did we call a timeout???? Burn more clock
Just said the same to thing. WTF is he doing? Let it get down to 30ish seconds. Still have 3 TOs.
Need a TD here
Let’s get the TD but burn that clock
Nice throw to hock there, interior oline sucks
HOCK!
KOC rushing that play before the 2 minute warning was fucking stupid.
Yup, it was
Stop running Cook up the middle. Hit the outside
Why can every team get pressure on us with 3 rushers and we can’t get any with 5? Our lines suck, especially O-line.
2021 TERD has entered the building
Cook sucking
Turd getting worked
Glad we rushed that play before half for 0 gain
Just couldn’t let them play at 1 eh?
Maybe Irv can give Donnatell a ride home at halftime.
Kirky time……..
Offense time…
Really need a score here, Giants get the ball after the half.
Far from over yet, but not looking good. Hope KOC can adjust at halftime, better than Daboll.
Good Kirk showed up!
They kept the fat lady stage right for now but she is warmed up.
FG coming…. Need points before half
Getting spanked so far….
Why can’t some just pop Jones
Should be the plan for the 2nd half
Why do the Giants keep running it when they could trick plays. They do not know how to play this game.
I miss the days when we had a good defense.
