The most lopsided game in NFL history was played in 1940 between the Bears and Redskins and had a final score of Chicago 73: Washington 0.
The most lopsided game in college football history was played in 1916, when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland College 220 to 0.
**** EDIT: That should have said 222 to 0.***
Fear not Vikes fans, I'm very certain that Sundays game will not be a bigger blowout than both of those were!

Everyone is always trying to turn me. Knock it off. Come tomorrow, I'll be preparing my victory dance for when we beat the Packers. After all, when the game was over, I put on my Vikings jacket, hopped in my Vikings car, came home, and soon I'll be going to my Vikings bed. lol.
See? I'm already getting back to Melanie again. It just takes a minute. We got this! lol.

Why wait? I wanted him fired during halftime of that Raiders game in '11. I had enough at that point. Y'all are way behind. And heck, I'm normally nice. lol.
Well I never wanted him hired to begin with, so there lol. I think my exact words at the time went something like, "WTF our defense sucked with him as DC, oh noes, 3 more years of suffering". It really never ends for Viking fans. It's so bad I'm already afraid of who we'll hire after Frazier. DC Alan Williams (or Musgrave) promoted to interim HC. And at that point my days as a Viking fan will be over.

Not to pick nits, but it was 222-0. And in the Bears 73-0 win (which was the NFL Championship) at some point the refs asked the Bears to start running in their PAT's instead of kicking because they were running out footballs. Yeah the Skins just had no answer for the unstoppable T-formation that day haha.
The Vikings biggest loss was in 1984, 51-7 at San Francisco. But hands down our worst loss was really 41-0 in the '00 NFCCG, statistically, emotionally, and every other ally you can think of. That's what kind of game we're facing next Sunday. Are we thoroughly depressed yet?

I think something like this, in spite of all, a 20 point deficit is about what I see, lose by 3 TDs, your 17 point margin seems close to this.
I don't know. Assuming Josh Freeman is still the starter, he may still struggle to gel with the offense. Not to mention we have less than a week to prepare against the Pack.
Be sure that however many points we lose by, "we'll have a lot of work to do" come Monday. Also, don't forget guys, "there's a lot of football to be played". So take comfort in that. We need to clean house and get another coach in THIS season to evaluate the team and create momentum heading into next season. We can't spend half on next season with even a great coach working out the kinks.
