Minnesota Vikings' QB Surrounded by Angels! (Bears Lament)

[CreepersWiener]

I swear to freakin' God that angels were flying all over the field last night!



And Adrian Peterson has got to be the league's MVP!

For a QB that sucks as much as Ponder, his miraculous throws made people drop their jaws and shut up. Reminds me of that old Hymn: "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence"!



The song even has the word PONDER in it! LOL!

SKOL, VIKINGS!

Ps...Sorry, Bears!

[Sackett58]

We live for another week. Now if we can get Harvin back in the line-up. Skol, Vikings.

Rematch next week at Lambeau. Does anyone actually think the Vikings stand a chance?

[Serbia]

Nope.

[CreepersWiener]

Wow! When the Bears Lament...they lament hard!

Lovie Smith FIRED!

skol!

I'll get excited about the Vikes if they beat Green Bay again next week.

2010 was the shit

Rematch next week at Lambeau. Does anyone actually think the Vikings stand a chance?

Nope. But I am a masochist and I have stood by this team since Joe Kapp. I have seen Hail Mary's, missed field goals in playoff games, 6 turnovers in a playoff game but I keep hoping. At least I am not a Cowboy or Steeler band wagon fan. Skol!

Nope, why I'm not that excited (cept for AP who is an awesome person!)

The overall record between the Vikes and the Pack is like 60-61. We almost always split the games, winning at home and losing on the road. If we win next week in Green Bay, slow that bandwagon down, I'm gettin on!!

Vikings always have had the propensity to disappoint; however, if you would have watched them in the 49ers game back in September your moral would have been lifted. I will admit that since that game, the Vikings went downhill; but I think that that mostly had to do with how the team was being coached. Once Leslie Frazier and company saw the strengths and weaknesses of the team, they started coaching towards those strengths and weaknesses.

Strength: Adrian Peterson...BLOCK FOR HIM!

Weakness: Ponder's long distance throwing arm...FOCUS ON THROWING SHORT YARDAGE!

Are the VIkings really missing Percy Harvin? Not really. It seems the Vikings are doing just fine without him. But it would help to have him back to rest Peterson more. That won't happen this season though I think. Last I heard, he was done for the season. It would surprise all the fans if Harvin popped back into play.

Now the coaching needs to focus on the weaknesses in the defense. The passing defense is atrocious, and the defensive line wasn't getting enough pressure on the QB. The defense REALLY needs to step it up this next game, and the fans want to see more out of Jared Allen.

Let's also not forget that the VIkings were being wrote off this time of the season because they had one of the most CHALLENGING SCHEDULES! Well, guess what? THEY WON THE PART OF THE SEASON THEY NEEDED TO!

They need to go long to make the opponents safety not play the run. Even if they don't connect it makes the safety not totally commit to stop Pederson. Ponders arm is not the greatest but throwing the ball 30+ yards down the field will stretch the defense.

The strongest Minnesota team I have watched wasn't the one that lost to New Orleans in the NFC championship game but the 1998 team. That team was 15-1 and had a touchdown lead late in the game. I watched as the Vikings had the ball with time ticking down in the fourth. I watched Robert Smith run out of ****ing bounds twice to stop the clock as I was screaming at the top of my lungs what he was doing. Then they send out Anderson who was 35 for 35 for the season in field goals to make it a 10 point lead with around 2 minutes and missed a 38 yarder(don't think I didn't think of that last night when the announcer mentioned Andersons record of 35 for 35 when Walsh went for the game winner). I watched as the Falcons marched down the field and watched as the defensive back dropped a potential interception in the end zone. Then the Falcons tied it with about 30 ticks left. Then the Vikings lost it in overtime.

It isn't that they get outplayed it's how they shoot themselves in the foot that gets me. So yeah I get a little frustrated about them but I still have hope.

Randall Cunningham!!!!!!! Chris Carter, Randy Moss, Robert Smith. Probably the most fun I have ever had as a fan. 2010 though, that was just pure magic until the rabbit was violently yanked out of the hat.

I was there that day when we lost in 1998. I wasn't at the game, but we were at Orchestra Hall across the street from the Metrodome. (not by choice, we agreed to go 6 months prior, before we knew it was the exact same friggin time of the Championship game!) Joshua Bell was crankin on Bhrams Violin Concerto, but many people were out in the hallway listening to the game on the radio. We ended up leaving after the 3rd movement when the kicked into the modern classical crap, so we left, but we didn't know the result of the game, just that it was in overtime, and the radio wasn't working in the parking garage. But we got our answer soon enough, when we got onto the street, we had to stop at the crosswalk while 200 stunned and disappointed Vikings fans crossed the street in front of us, and then on the next block, the same thing. It was the most depressing thing I have ever seen in my life. We just sat and looked at the faces of people who were in shock. People were crying.

Gary Anderson, the kicker who had not missed a single field goal all year, should have kicked it at the end of the 4th.

The Vikes beat two of this years best NFL teams to make the playoffs
after some humbling early season games. Only the Skins had a more unlikely
comeback to reach the post season after a sluggish start. The common ground
is that both of these teams were considered done for this year long ago.

Minnesota will need to be sharp to prevail at Lambeau Field, but if Peterson
is rolling? Look out! The did get some pressure on Rodgers this time and will
have to keep it up for sixty minutes next week, as the Pack was certainly
starting to find their rhythm in the second half of that final game.

Cowboys and Bears didn't need to be in the playoffs anyways, too many injuries
depleting their rosters, neither team was ready to make a Super Bowl run.

Andy Capp, Warren Moon... Deacon Jones! There's some memories.
