VIKES @ LIONS 1/5/25

[nicksaviking]

Is this even football anymore?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

KFAN is gonna be lit tomorrow  

[Aggies7]

This is criminal

[Aggies7]

I might take to the bridge if I have to watch the lions holding a trophy 

[nicksaviking]

Even less reason for Goff to be in…,

[gunnarthor]

This game sucked.

I don’t wish injury but if they’re going to continue to pass, whatever happens happens 

[gunnarthor]

Detroit aiming to have all their players injured.

Well,  make sure it’s not any higher than this lol, because we are gonna need you in the thread next week

Yeah I’m still waiting for it to actually bother them. All those injuries and they had one loss to a Super Bowl contender.

Im not looking forward to any more games.

[Mike Sixel]

The hot tub was great. Turning off the game was a great decision.

[Aggies7]

You know it’s been bad for Sam when they show Daniel jones 

[RpR]

I guess this is a revenge game for Detroit over the 13 game losing streak they had against the Vikings 1968-1974.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well, at least the game is almost over.

[Aggies7]

McCarthy looks like a child. Would be amazed if he performed with any more poise than Sam did tonight. Although it wouldn’t take much

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Teddy Bridgewater is a Lion?

[Parfigliano]

That was a humiliating beat down

It was.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Vikings ended the game in Victory Formation!

Not sure how he’ll perform, but I’m encouraged about the possible poise as he did win a championship in a prime time game with just as big of an audience watching.

Choking is a Minnesota specialty, but he passed the test once.

Maybe, just maybe, the coaches will give Darnold a different game plan next time.

Plus some thing that resemble pass protection.

[gunnarthor]

Good night all, we're 14-3, with two losses to Detroit. We're a good team. 

[Vanimal46]

Awful. At least we got that out of the way before the playoffs. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wait... how certain are we to face the Lions in two weeks? (i think someone said "See you in two weeks" after the game)

Is that actually set, in that 4-5 seed winner always meets 1 seed second week? Or as was my impression, they faced the lowest remaining seed, so it presumes we are the only remaining wild card after next week?

McCarthy has elite hair that’s all I can say about him right now. I can’t confidently say he’s using starter razors. If he does shave it’s once every 2 weeks. 

[Aggies7]

I already knew it but tonight solidifies it for me. There will never be a silver trophy in Minnesota. I’ll still watch but it’s not meant to be. There’s some weird hex where our guys get performance anxiety when it really matters. Doesn’t matter how great the year was. It should be studied by medical science

They reseed.  Lions play the lowest remaining seed.  Only way they don’t play the Vikings is if either Tampa or GB wins.

[Aggies7]

Maybe Sam was worried about losing millions of dollars as he did tonight, I guess I can’t blame him there

Or if Vikings lose, of course.
