Every NFL team is tough to beat. The fact that they went toe to toe with the Bills speaks volumes. Have they had some luck? Sure. However, you don't get to 8-1 without being a good team as well. Let's see how they play the Cowboys.

The old saying is that "luck is when preparation meets opportunity". That describes the Vikings this year. Every team that goes on a magical run has to have some luck and be prepared to capitalize on it. I still hate the Cowboys for that push off Drew Pearson play in the 70's. That one ripped my heart out and it took a while to recover as I thought that was a best team of the Bud Grant era.

I hope our luck continues and we take over for Philly as the number one seed. Philly is the most hostile crowd in the NFL and I think that game would have ended differently at home a bit later in the season after Vikings started to fully grasp these new systems. The Eagles aren't invincible, they could drop a couple more but then again so could the Vikes. Tighten your belts, it's going to be a wild ride.

Put another way, the haters say the Vikings have beaten backup quarterbacks. Meanwhile, Philly just lost to a backup quarterback. At home. To a 4-5 team.

Your Minnesota Vikings are now tied for the best record in the entire NFL. Eat sh!t, haters!
Many were calling the WFT garbage but they can play very good D. That DL they have is top shelf and they hit hard. They have nothing at QB which takes them out of the running. The Eagles are good but I don't see them as storming through. Hurts will have some bad outings. When your at home winning is a must have. They fell apart.

Who are the haters you keep fuming about? What is a hater? Someone that will criticize something about the Vikings? Someone who isnt as enthusiastic as you are when the Vikings win? Just enjoy the win and dont worry what a few others think. They have just as much right to post here as you do.
Not talking about here.

Thanks, but I've got a handle on my life.
