I have been a Vikings fan for 41 years. I was 5 when they lost the 76 Bowl to the Raiders and cried in my Viking footy pajama's.

 

I want this one bad today. I have never waned in my passion through all of the pain, and never will.

 

SKOL!!!

Why did the Titans plane get delayed 3 hours before takeoff to Boston? Why did another plane skid off the runway in Nashville to aid in the delay?

Wow, he does sleep....

[Mr_Wolfe]

Falcons were flat for sure. No fire at all! I mean, I guess the ending was exciting, but a little bit of a snoozefest. Still better than watching the Pats beat up on the Titans. Nothing against Brady and I am sure he will go down as the GOAT, but mah gawd man, I can't watch another screen pass. I don't blame them though, it works every time. Note to defenses, please watch the RB out of the backfield. Pittsburgh, take note if you get the opportunity to go up to Foxboro.

 

Oh, and GO STEELERS!

I feel your pain and passion. It will all make it that much sweeter if or when all of the stars finally align.

The drop off from Shanahan to Sark was pretty clear all year but it really showed up in those last 4 plays. I don't understand why OC's contiunue to run that sprint out flood concept at the goal line, it's entirely one dimensional which I guess would be fine on first or second down, but not with your season on the line, you gotta have a better two point play in the book Sark

Will the Steelers realize they can't beat the Jags to the edge? I am shocked by this game so far....

Seriously what was that fourth down call all about. Bang it up the middle.

Great line describing Ju Ju Schuster.... "consistently interested blocker"

That was so dumb... you have one of the best RB in the league, and if not that why doesn't Big Ben stick his big noggin himself over that line!? LOL

Cause Tomlin is a trash coach and Haley is all hoped up on percocets.

 

 

BUMP

[Nixhex524]

^ My friend from DC is smoking crack. Big Ben= Playoff win.

 

1. This is the Steelers in a home playoff game. That means the stars (3 B's) will shine brightly and make a few highlight reels.

 

2. Big Ben does not have all the rings the #12 in N.E. has but is plenty sturdy to get it done for the Steelers faithful. Not as fast or elusive, but

just as friggin' hard to bring down as that diva you are a fan of CAM.

 

3. A Blake Bortles lead team is not going into Ketchup Town and scoring more points than the three B's. It is Just Not Happening.

 

 

 

Pittsburgh wins and covers

 

 

OUCH LOL

[knock it close]

Tomlin not understanding you should take your timeouts before the 2minute warning is peak Tomlin

[bscinstnct]

Fun game to watch.

 

These guys have any shot at beating the pats?

[CommerceTiger]

I think so. Good defense. Good run game. Just need to keep Bortles in a clean pocket and be smart. I think it will be a good game even though the Pats will be 8 point favorites

Agree. After today, I have a lot more respect for what the Jags can do on defense. You beat the Patriots by pressuring Brady and controlling the game on offense...both of which I think the Jaguars are capable of.

 

I saw a tweet today during the game that said something like: “Patriots fans now realizing that they’re rooting for the wrong team to win”.

[Petethreeput]

4th and one?

Sweep? Second time you throw?

You deserve to lose.

Good bye Haley.

[CommerceTiger]

Lol. Talk about a bad beat. I think I went like 3-5

[bscinstnct]

Holy brain freeze!

[prudy1006]

Go Vikes!

[Petethreeput]

Lol. Talk about a bad beat. I think I went like 3-5

 

Sorry, my bad.

[Shilgy]

Boom! Vikings overcome some of their past playoff crap. On to Philly!

[Yanki01]

bizarre

[Joe85]

Queens did not deserve to win that. Felt like the D just gave up that second half. Only right after Bountygate, though

[Nixhex524]

That was so heads up by Diggs to turn that play upfield and go... Insane ending, hope they take the Eagles down!!!

Oh I hear you. Oh I know. Yes it is time to get out the bottle of Texas Pete and splash it on this fine piece of crow I am about to eat.

Mr. doctoro called the Jags pick his "Upset Special" and laying some the jack on the Jax money line was highly advised.

They win outright yes indeed. Nice work buddy (doctoro) .

 

Ya'll remember in the week leading up to this picks contest I started, I predicted (another pick. lol) that CommerceTiger would repeat this

year as the champ. I too said doctoro would be right on his heels. What do I get for that show of prognosticating skill?!

[touch]

Not one person in our contest today had Jax and the Over.

 

Minny's stingy D gives up 24. ?

Big Ben chucks 5 TD's against the Jaguar D in a losing battle! ?

 

Standings later tomorrow.

 

This weekends records

 

doctoro 6-2 nice

Petethreeputt 5-3

Me 5-3

Nixhex524 4-4 and for two weeks in a row no push!

Qqq123xx 3-5

CommerceTiger 3-5

 

CommTiger, yes I just had to put you last AT LEAST ONE TIME regarding this contest in a post. lol

I know I feel for you bro. The Dawgs and then the Dirty Birds. But hell you know how hard it is to make the playoffs after a Super Bowl appearance. Plus your squad had a sweet game last week in the their big wildcard game win on the road.

Those are big positives I feel. Mr. awesome WR that is Julio has had a few KEY drops this season. I am a huge fan of his.

Julio was pretty damn classy in his post game interview and very honest.

 

Peace to you Georgia boy.

 

 

 

This is fun gents and thanks for the participation,

Lawrence

[jbw749]

Vikings played a rock solid game. Wow it feels good to be on the winning side of one of these.

 

 

[RookieBlue7]

SMH... Falcons and Dawgs both lose due to the same exact mistake (2 years now for the Falcons). Refusal to ride the hot hand. Sony was piping hot and after 3 carries for 25 yards early in the 3rd, he doesn't touch it again. Then we turn to this weekend, Tevin has the hot hand, gaining 17 on the last series and refuse to give him even 1 touch (and he's not on the field for 2nd or 3rd down) from the 9 in 4 downs.... Foiled again by overthinking it as a coach.

 

Now, I hope the Pats win it all again just so the rest of the football world outside of Mass is as disgusted as I am right now. Cause that's the only way that everyone except a small group would be disgusted.
