I'm Stunned, Vikes Win In Detroit

It's amazing what happens when your starters are not on the sidelines injured. Did I think the Vikes had any shot of winning versus the Lions in Detroit? Heck, no!

Pleasantly surprised that there is a glimmer of hope for making the playoffs.  If key Vikes can stay healthy that is a realistic possibility at 4-4.  I thought we were going to be 3-5 and the Vikes would be out of the playoff hunt today. The Lions are one of the best teams in the league and playing them in Ford field is no joke.

Tough game again next week vs. the Ravens who are in desperation must win mode, but on a winning streak to save their season. It is a big game. Will JJ Mac get his first win in MN?

Kids Got Grit! Vikings 1-0!

 Vikings win the opener in Soldier Field 27-24. It wasn't looking good for the purple through three quarters. Da Bears had Da Vikes on the ropes. But the D got stops. McCarthy found his footing and the rest his history. JJ McCarthy wins his first game, capped off by an RPO tuddy run by JJ.

The kid has the heart of a champion.

The Vikes really miss Darrisaw. Hopefully, he is back next week. 

Vikes Win In Seattle, 13-2!

 

Super Sam showed up in Seattle on Sunday. Some drops by receivers and crappy clock management at the end of the first half kept Seattle in the game. Uncle Sam and Jets would not be denied when it mattered. Gink sacked Geno twice. And they picked Geno off to seal it.

13-2. If the Vikes can beat the Packers, the #1 Seed will be there for the taking Week 18 in Detroit.  

Vikings Big ? For Week 14

 

Will Jet be enough to fuel the Vikes and AstroDobbs back into the win column?  Or does the Viking's season crash and burn this week?

If the Vikes don't win this game I think the team's chances of making the playoffs fall to 25% or less. This may be the key game of the year.
