Gotta wrap up dat receiver, hey?

Sorry Vike fans, I was rooting for you.

-Terrible throw by Keenum for interception, a WTF moment.

-Blocked punt, that don't happen often

-Did not run on third down (prior to made fg) and make NO use the timeout

-Let Brees throw for like 250 in second half with that prevent defense

-Killer though, was block in the back call on Rudolph, after Diggs picked up 22 into NO territory

You guys are just cursed......Draft some lineman.

Oh my........ I was typing the above and ready to send, so I'll leave it as it. My God, the ex-Terp did it, good for you Vikes out there. Could go down as an all-timer with Immaculate Reception.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Sean Payton lose.

St. Blaise was warming up the candles but put them back in the frig. Wow!

As a Minnesotan, I don't know how to process this Vikings win in a playoff game.

This is the 20th anniversary of what wikipedia says : "1998 NFC Championship Game has been remembered for the effect it had on the Vikings players and their fan base, as it is seen by some sportswriters as one of the most devastating losses in NFL history."

Next week's loss to the Eagles will be beyond indescribably epic.

Greatest moment of my life

i could just imagine the lines formed in vegas of the guys who thought they had a winning ticket, watching on the big screens in front of them,waiting for the final seconds to tick off and then...

Most outrageous defensive gaffe ever? Let me know what I'm forgetting.

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #2087 on:** January 14, 2018, 10:30:37 PM »

I read the line was 5.5 .. so when MN didn't kick the PAT and didn't go up 6, the New Orleans bettors still won their bet.

You beat me to it.

I was going to say:

"Worst defensive play in modern NFL history ... or merely one of the 5 worst?

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #2089 on:** January 14, 2018, 10:50:51 PM »

Watching it live, as soon as Diggs caught it, and the initial defender whiffed, I remember thinking "why isn't Diggs hurrying to get out of bounds?", assuming of course there had to be safety help. In the moment I couldn't believe Diggs was trying to score 6, thought it was going to be a huge blunder, when they now had a makeable FG with a second left.

I think there were 4 lead changes in the final 2 minutes. Crazy.

The Vikings got their own Hail Mary today. When Pearson caught that pass in 1975, I think he pushed off the Viking defender. The catch today for the Vikings was clean. I'm sure Bud Grant is looking from above and smiling tonight.

You realize that Bud Grant is still alive, right? I think he may have been at the game. Unless by "above" you meant the upper deck.

Lol, yes Bud was at the game

Was Les Steckel at the game too?

4th and 26 against the Eagles in Philadelphia when a certain Green and Gold team gave up a first down and ultimately lost a trip to the Super Bowl.

This one is on par with that play!

In fact, Bud Grant is a cheesehead. Went to High School in Superior and has a home near Gordon.

That loss to Philly was in the divisional playoffs. They would have to go to Carolina for the NFC Championship Game.

I had the same reaction, initially, I was yelling at the TV, "get out of bounds." Then, about 0.25 seconds later, I yelled to my daughter, "there's nobody there!" I couldn't believe it. That game was really a lot of fun. I like Brees, so I'm glad he brought them back and it's not his fault the Saints lost, but I was rooting for the Vikings all the way.

And, yes. That was a shockingly bad defensive play. Not only did he completely whiff on the hit, but he blocked the only other defensive player who even had a shot to make a tackle. Inexplicable. Maybe somebody put a bounty on Crawley, and Williams was trying to collect.

"So Grandpa Marcus, what was your biggest moment ever?"

"Well, Scooter, I made the worst defensive screw-up in the history of football."

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #2099 on:** January 15, 2018, 08:19:28 AM »

Whoa .. the Vikings are 3.5 point favorites @ Philly. This will only add to the epicness of a loss so horrific, the NFL has no choice but to pull their franchise.

The Vikings lost 41-0 in 2001 in the NFC championship .. I'm thinking 77-0 would just about do it.
