Henry is a stud, but you can't win a championship without a quarterback.

Apparently you can’t win a game without a quarterback.

MY BIL is a Broncos fan. He was insufferable when they had Manning and won the Super Bowl, so I'm really enjoying this hole they're digging ?

I bet they wish they had manning back! Even when he was old and could barely throw he was better than Wilson haha

It really would be something if the Jags won the AFC South.  Should they win both remaining games, that will be the result.  Wonder what their odds were to win the division were before the season.

 

It is my opinion that each conference has 3 very high quality teams.  AFC - Bills, Chiefs, Bengals.  NFC - Eagles (with Hurts), 49ers, and Cowboys.

 

I'm sorry, but even as a passionate Vikings fan, they are not on the same tier as these other teams even though their record says they are.  They just aren't.  This season has been extremely entertaining to watch, and they have taken years off my life by giving me a heart attack almost every week, but they aren't going to win more than one game in the playoffs.  I had them pegged at 10-7 this season, so clearly they are over achieving already regardless of how this ends.

Don’t forget my old Bucs…

 

It’s like being invited to watch your buddies in an over 40 tackle league. You cheer when they don’t get hurt.

Points? Hell, those are for teams who take it serious…we’re not one of those 

 

All Bowles needs to do is call me precisely after my 3rd beer. I’m the greatest football mind of the last quarter century

Agree, all the rest will be one and done unless something happens to a few key players of the teams above in the next 2 weeks

I could see the Vikings winning one home playoff game in the wild card round against a team like Washington or the NY Giants.  They already beat both of them.  Once they hit a team like SF in the Divisional Round, they are toast.

Its obvious that the Packers are going to the superbowl.

The probability is at a all time high of 29% to make it into the playoffs.

I watched this game on tv when i was living in Levittown PA, anything is possible.

9 January 1988 - Minnesota Vikings 36, San Francisco 49ers 24

Yes, this is the one everyone remembers, and it was 32 years ago today, even! (Well, as I write this, it’s still 9 January in the Twin Cities.) Much like this year’s team, the Vikings were coming off of an upset of the Saints in the Wild Card round, and the Niners were the top seed in the NFC.

The only scoring in the first quarter came courtesy of a field goal for each team. The Vikings came alive in the second quarter, as they scored 17 unanswered points (capped by a 45-yard interception return by Najee Mustafaa) to take a 20-3 lead into the locker room. The Niners started the second half with a pick-six of their own to make it 20-10, but the Vikings got a touchdown pass from Wade Wilson to Hassan Jones to make it a 17-point lead again. Minnesota stayed in control the rest of the way, and the game got to the point where the legendary Joe Montana was eventually benched for his backup, some guy named Steve Young.

Anthony Carter blew up in a big way in this one, as he set a Vikings’ team record (postseason or otherwise) with 227 receiving yards on ten catches, and threw in a 30-yard rush for good measure.

Unfortunately, the Vikings would go on to lose the NFC Championship Game to the eventual Super Bowl champions that year, the Washington Redskins.

I was living in the Bay Area at the time and I was 6 years old. My Father went to it with 3 of his friends and they were the only fans wearing purple at Candlestick Park. He has told me more than once “that was the game Anthony Carter blew up.”

I’ve got a wade Wilson trading card somewhere

Looking forward to MNF this week.  Bills at Bengals.  The winner will have the inside track on the top seed in the AFC.  The Bengals and Bills already beat the Chiefs this season.

That will be a great game. Nail biter for sure.

As everyone knows I’m a Bills fan. That being said, the Lions have been playing their hearts out (with the exception of last week ?) and I’d like to see them at least make it to the playoffs. @gimruis your Vikings sure didn’t help that situation one bit today!

#18 Jefferson only 1 catch for 5 yds. I heard that #18 needs 200 yds to break a recieving record for the year.

[TnRiver46]

I heard all the possibilities/scenarios for the playoffs yesterday, sounds like it will be one tricky equation this season ?

It was actually 1 catch for 15 yards.

But ya he was completely shut down regardless.

 

The outcome doesn’t surprise me at all. The Vikings either barely win or get their butts whipped. They are literally the worst 12-4 team in NFL history from a statistical stand point. And the Packers simply had more to play for.

 

The Lions had their chance last week at Carolina. Now they not only need to win, but also need some help.

Go Bills! Nerves wracked already and the game is hours away!

I know, same here. After the Michigan game Saturday night, I’m not sure I can handle another close game or upset. 
 

Go Bills!
