Playoffs or bust. Eagles likely beat Redskins, so Vikings have to win to get in. A loss by Seattle would give them the 5th seed, and a trip to Dallas instead of Chicago. Big game for Zimmer, if the Vikings lose he might be on the hot seat in 2019.

I'm getting deja vu from 2012. Win and in, and all indications are the Vikings having to play the same opponent next week.

 

The Vikes defense is dominant at home. Best in the league in most every defensive category that matters.

 

The Rams are probably going to steam roll the 49ers so the Bears will start resting their players by the 2nd half I would imagine.

One thing I haven't heard discussed, that I'd be worried about, is possible retribution against Coisins.

The Vikings knocked their QB out for a few games with a dirty hit by Harrison Smith. I'd be at least a little worried they might take some cheap shots in return, especially if the game becomes meaningless for them.

Not Vikings related, but Teddy lost all of his momentum as the hot QB free agent today. Him and the Saints are getting torched by an unknown QB and the Panthers who had nothing to play for.

Man, I'm like a broken record here but we need an offensive line.

We do. But I don't know what that was. No pressure, Cousins tucks and runs into the line.

Almost looked like a QB draw.

Bears tacklers are treating Vikings ball carriers in roughly the same way a dog treats a rag doll when no one's home. Bears offense is moving, too. The Bears don't look like they want to let up, even as the Rams jump out to an early 59-0 lead. Might be a long day if somebody doesn't make a big unexpected play to turn this around.

Vikings weren’t subbing, but he stood over the ball until about 3 sec anyway.

They still have to give them time, even if the defense chooses not to. The ref did exactly what he's supposed to do.

I don't understand groaning about that call.

He clearly had time to stop himself, knew the ball was already thrown, and hit him anyway.

I never understood why that was ever allowed, and I'm glad they are taking it out of the game.

I'd fire Spielman at this point. He has been unable to fix the OL, and spent to the cap to year. I'd probably fire Zimmer also. This team is missing something fundamental, that's clear.

Luckily for the Vikings, the Rams are blowing out the 49ers. I'm guessing we'll see backups in the second half.

I don't think they have a chance if the Bears keep trying.
