December 28, 20187 yr Playoffs or bust. Eagles likely beat Redskins, so Vikings have to win to get in. A loss by Seattle would give them the 5th seed, and a trip to Dallas instead of Chicago. Big game for Zimmer, if the Vikings lose he might be on the hot seat in 2019.
December 28, 20187 yr I'm getting deja vu from 2012. Win and in, and all indications are the Vikings having to play the same opponent next week. The Vikes defense is dominant at home. Best in the league in most every defensive category that matters. The Rams are probably going to steam roll the 49ers so the Bears will start resting their players by the 2nd half I would imagine.
December 28, 20187 yr One thing I haven't heard discussed, that I'd be worried about, is possible retribution against Coisins.The Vikings knocked their QB out for a few games with a dirty hit by Harrison Smith. I'd be at least a little worried they might take some cheap shots in return, especially if the game becomes meaningless for them.
December 30, 20187 yr Not Vikings related, but Teddy lost all of his momentum as the hot QB free agent today. Him and the Saints are getting torched by an unknown QB and the Panthers who had nothing to play for.
December 30, 20187 yr Man, I'm like a broken record here but we need an offensive line.We do. But I don't know what that was. No pressure, Cousins tucks and runs into the line. Almost looked like a QB draw.
December 30, 20187 yr Man, I'm like a broken record here but we need an offensive line.I can't wait to replace both of these guards. Compton let him through untouched.
December 30, 20187 yr Bears tacklers are treating Vikings ball carriers in roughly the same way a dog treats a rag doll when no one's home. Bears offense is moving, too. The Bears don't look like they want to let up, even as the Rams jump out to an early 59-0 lead. Might be a long day if somebody doesn't make a big unexpected play to turn this around.

December 30, 20187 yr Somebody explain to me why referees do that?The offense has to give the defense time to substitute. It's been a rule for several years.
December 30, 20187 yr One team wants it so far. It's not the Vikings.Exactly how I’d want the Bears to play this week going into next week, if I was a Bears fan.
December 30, 20187 yr The offense has to give the defense time to substitute. It's been a rule for several years.Vikings weren’t subbing, but he stood over the ball until about 3 sec anyway.
December 30, 20187 yr Both teams going backwards. Awful Bears punt returner decision might be the play to spark something.
December 30, 20187 yr Vikings weren’t subbing, but he stood over the ball until about 3 sec anyway.They still have to give them time, even if the defense chooses not to. The ref did exactly what he's supposed to do.
December 30, 20187 yr I don't understand groaning about that call. He clearly had time to stop himself, knew the ball was already thrown, and hit him anyway. I never understood why that was ever allowed, and I'm glad they are taking it out of the game.
December 30, 20187 yr I'd fire Spielman at this point. He has been unable to fix the OL, and spent to the cap to year. I'd probably fire Zimmer also. This team is missing something fundamental, that's clear.
December 30, 20187 yr Oh boy. I think Hill has a future in this league, but my oh my he got taken to school on that play.
December 30, 20187 yr 1 first down. $84 million QB. 2 of the best WRs in the league and supposedly an explosive RB.
December 30, 20187 yr Author Thielen and cousins frustrated. This game isn't over. Keep the score down by 10 going into half.
December 30, 20187 yr Luckily for the Vikings, the Rams are blowing out the 49ers. I'm guessing we'll see backups in the second half. I don't think they have a chance if the Bears keep trying.
December 30, 20187 yr Author Bears get complacent and they'll regret it. If course, if the Vikings can't stop the run nothing else matters.
