Man one hell of a comeback down 33-0 at the half. 2 point play successful, we are tied!

That said, it's still sickening to have to go thru this almost every game this season. Our D is still putrid. Either that or it's our D coordinator that need to be sent packing. I still say that the Vikes will be one and done come the playoffs.

This game is taking so long that we now have missed the start of Ravens at Browns.

Glad I stuck with the Vikings game and didn’t switch to a movie or something else.

it was 2 completely different games, and stunning to say the least.
probably made the vikings season and will give them a little uplift toward the playoffs. quite a receiving corps they have eh?
and the browns........watson has led them to exactly one offensive touchdown in 3 games and he is 2 -1. my my my

The Vikings still have huge problems on defense. Many say it's Ed Donatell and others say the players are getting old or are just plain lousy.
The offense is damn good, but we have huge problems with the OL (and have for years now). Cousins is doing so damn good right now despite the line. All the shit people talk about him is moot this year.

All the shit people talk about him is moot this year. the defense looked awfully good in the second half yesterday, for sure. if they play even close to that they will be fine. i feel about the eagles like some do about the vikings, i just don't see the eagles going all the way........now dallas........oh boy!........i hope they do not get OBJ.

In defense of the Vikings defense, they only gave up 16 points. The other 20 were a gift from a blocked punt, a pick 6, and 2 unsuccessful 4th-and-1 attempts from the Vikings own 30 resulting in 2 Colt field goals. But yeah, the defense could ramp it up better.
I couldn't bear to watch the game live, I taped it for later viewing but only if they won. How on earth did they stay motivated after being down 33-0? They finally scored with 8:22 left in the 3rd qtr. To tie the game, they had to score 29 points in the remaining 23:22. Totally impossible, and yet they diddit.
Definitely a heart attack inducing season, ha...

Did you see their dismal performances against Dallas and Detroit? Both were pathetic from the Vikes D.

Matt Ryan takes it on the chin again, catching most of the ridicule for this loss and the 28-3 loss, despite not throwing an interception in either game (in fact, I believe the Super Bowl is the only one in which the losing QB has a higher passer rating than the winning one). I just don't why the QB always takes all the credit and blame, especially for a defense that allows 36 points in a single half. I totally blame the blow-out loss to Dallas mainly on Ryan since he had three turnovers in that game -- but he had zero on Saturday. Just one more field goal would have sealed it for the Colts, so he and the offense deserves some of the blame, but the lion's share should go to the defense this time. Plus, there's this.  At least his wife has a good sense of humor about it, LOL!

Definitely a heart attack inducing season, ha... All great points. I don't know that they'll get past the powerhouses of the NFC to make the Super Bowl, but this game has to at least give you confidence that it's *possible*. I bear no ill will toward the Vikings and definitely wouldn't mind seeing them win a title this year. I think their fanbase deserves it.

Watched another Jets boondoggle where victory was snatched away at the last minute (fourth and inches!), that has happened a lot this year. Zach wasn’t completely awful yesterday (2 TDs) and he had the Jets up by 4 with under two miniutes, the D failed us.
But the redeeming thing yesterday was seeing the Patriots have an even more shocking brain fart at the end of the Raiders game. Now that is epic. That really helps the Jets with 3 games to go as the Pats own the Jets in tie-breakers and needed that game to stay in the playoff hunt.
It’s gonna be an epic finish this year in the NFL, except for the Eagles, they rule!

Thoughts…
I don’t care if was just the Colts, the Minnesota comeback was legend.
But…both teams were pathetic.
Yet…when it was 36-14 I told my girlfriend that Minnesota would win as long as they didn’t turn it over.
They did, but still won anyway! Props to the Vikes.
The officiating is worse and worse every week.
The blatant PI on the last play of the Giants game and the idiotic ref telling McLaurin twice he was lined up fine and then throwing a flag, taking away a TD was sickening and I dislike both teams (Eagles rivals). I was still furious watching it.
Dallas are fraudulent as it gets.
Dak sucks.
The D is getting exposed every week.
Go ahead and signed washed-up injured old dudes like Hilton and Beckham, Jerry, because you are going to fail even further.
The Eagles were far from their best but win over Chicago anyway with 6 sacks of Fields (not easy to do) and 3 more TDs from Hurts.
I’d say 13-1 works just fine.
Also…Rhamondre Stevenson and Jacoby Myers are beyond dumb.
There was NO need to lateral even once, because it was a tie game!
How many bath salts do you have to be on to even make that decision??????

Yeah, the Boys are going to get trounced in the playoffs, at least by the divisionals. Dak is proving to be just an average QB. Even the fans down there want Cooper back in. Can't blame 'em.
