Vikings @ Cowboys Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 9

[PurpleKoolaid]

So are we mathematically eliminated yet? I'm wondering if I should schedule work for Thursday night.

I think if we loose to the skins we are.

I taped the game, so I'll watch and confirm it later. By my count he had 2 go through the back of the end zone.

You are going to re-watch the game? I applaud you for having the strength to do that my friend.[/quote]


That game was nothing. We actually played w/ some heart and looked like we wanted to win, which is a spirit I hadn't seen in previous games. But I actually read over the play-by-play and Eli appears to be right: there was just 1 KO out of the back of the end zone; 2 others went 9 yards deep.

Man do we have a lot of injured players. Add Walsh, Rhodes, Rudy to the list.

Can't believe TB is up by 10 with 5minutes ish to go in the 3rd over the seachickens in Seattle

It will be a few weeks until the Vikes are officially eliminated.

.0009% equals 0 in my book.

[Mothman]

Which made the game worth watching (just that play alone) IMHO.

Same here, although Peterson had some other good runs and overall, the Vikes played much, much better than they have lately. Unfortunately, they played to pretty much the level they did against Cleveland and Chicago and the script played out the same way in the final minute.

Plenty of 9-7 teams have made the playoffs. 1 even made the Superbowl (2008 Cardinals). Now we just gotta figure out how to win our final 8 games. The 2010 Seahawks won their division at 7-9.

[PotGoblin]

and what the hell.. Nick Foles has pulled a Peyton Manning. Has 7 TD's already with 4 minutes to go in the 3rd.

[PotGoblin]

btw stats on Foles.

Code: Select all

Player             CP/ATP           Yrds           TD         INT
N.Foles           21/26              400            7           0

[PotGoblin]

now will Chip Kelly go for the record and attempt to get Foles 8 td's

Hmm I thought on one of the pregame shows, if we lose to the Skins, we are toast. I mean, we know we are, but officially toast.

[PurpleKoolaid]

And here comes Seattle ( I love them, but wanted a loss this weak.

[PotGoblin]

after all no team has ever gone on to win the Super Bowl after getting beat by Tampa Bay that same year.

I guess you didn't notice that he was carried almost five yards into the end zone.

(I thought they could actually call TDs back for that, but they let it go.)

Yeah... I am one of the biggest AD cheerleaders, but the end of that run was Carlson (he was the one, right?) pushing AD forward. Heck, AD's feet were off the ground for two yards! I mean, the guy is great, but...
