Unreal finish. Stil can’t believe what I just saw. Still in shock! Hope they take this momentum and beat the Eagles with it.
Congrats to the Vikings,,but damn that defender had to be paid to miss a receiver like that. He didn’t even touch him. I mean really!!! That’s like impossible unless you tried to miss intentionally!!
It was unreal DukeRules! I wasn't even upset watching the end because I was just thinkin' how the Vikings always figure out a way to lose...but then IT happened! The Saint player made a big mistake...but I'll take it.

It was freakish, Germanton, the way he whiffed on the tackle. Still, after losing in so many ways it's impossible to remember, I'm glad to accept the gift.

Both games today were great. I knew the Vikings left too much time on the clock for the saints. I think the defensive back thought he was going to get called for interference on that last play. OFC
Keenum’s reaction was the best part of the end of the game. He just stood there in shock and you could see him say “oh my God”
I like Minnesota’s chances at Philly. It will be a tough game with a spectacular defense but Minn. has enough weapons to win.
I called that T.D. pass to myself the play before it happened. I said to myself that a Vikings receiver would catch a pass and go into the end zone untouched. I know not one of you will believe it because I have only myself to confirm it and I didn't even say it to my wife who was watching because she would have ask me what I was talking about and I would have to explain what I said and would have missed the whole thing. But I know what I thought. OFC

It was a heck of a game,, of course I have to be Steeler fan so I had that same word coming out of my mouth a lot,,unfreakin real was the norm for Pitt fans
Next Sunday is going to be a good old fashioned slug fest. Glad my Eagles get to drag the Vikes out of their home dome and into the outdoors.
Hahaha, great call, Sky!
All I knew was it was going to take a 'sports miracle', and that's what the Vikings (ant their fans) received.

That was a play that if you were a fan of the team that won, you are in an unbelievable state of joy. But if you were a fan of the losing team, you probably need to be on suicide watch and you will likely cost yourself some money in damages.
85 yards in 25 seconds. Wow. Saints went from celebrating a win to not believing what they saw.

That was a tough way to lose a game too, Germanton, and I feel your pain. I was pulling for the Steelers also.

Absolutely, LetsGoDuke, it's tough for anyone to lose like that and I wouldn't wish that on anyone...unless it had Tar Heels on the uniform.
OFC
Philadelphia has a little something to say about that, LetsGo! Hope so though.

Congrats to the Vikings and their fans!!! One of my best friends is HUGE Vikings fan and I only wish I could've watched the game with him just solely for the reaction to that last 3:01 and change. 4 lead changes in the last three minutes and to end on that play....wow....just wow. And hey, I know what you guys are feeling, I am a die hard Raiders fan the last time they won a super bowl I was in diapers.
I’m in complete shock. I’m also Sunday night drinking right now. Quite heavily.
We’ve just been through so much....you know that Dirt. Even up 17-0 I didn’t expect to win. We’ve been trained to think that way. Today was just more of it. I get upset when Duke’s season ends with a loss, but there’s been those times when it hasn’t. Not for the Vikings. And it’s not that they lose. It’s how they always find the right way to do it. I was literally depressed when NO went ahead 24-23. The change of emotions was like none I’ve ever felt.
Hell of a game! Congrats to all of the Vikings fans, especially my boy KG!
Yep, the Vikings have conditioned us to expect a collapse, DJ. One of my nephews was over today (before the game), and he was telling me how he thought it was the Vikings year. And I told him we always find a way to lose somehow.
When the Saints blocked that Viking punt, I just knew we were going down. And then when we did kick a fg to go ahead with about a minute and a half left...I felt no way we're stopping Drew Brews from getting the Saints a fg. And when they kicked that fg...I just thought it's happened again.
But then, the Vikings finally caught an incredible piece of luck...the kind that usually happens against us. Yep, I went CRAZY!!! Of course next week..........but we'll worry about that then.
Enjoy the win, DJ, we deserve one of these after all we've been through.

My Jags are your neighborhood bullies bully. We come into your mother's house and eat her food, we do not care.
I grew up as a Redskins fan and I was a freshman in high school the last time we won a Super Bowl.
You have the Patriots who are going for their 6th SB and 3 teams that have never won a SB. The Jags are playing in their 2nd AFC championship game, both against NE. The Jags are the only team to have never been to the SB, the Eagles are 0-2 (Raiders, Patriots) the Vikings are 0-4 (Chiefs, Raiders, Dolphins, Steelers)
If Jacksonville manages to pull off the upset, a first time champion is guaranteed

I know it's a rule,but how stupid was making them all come back out on the field to attempt a meaningless P.A.T...took about 10 minutes to get them all back,then take a knee...the only ones this may have affected are bookies
Try being a Viking fan for 50+ years!
OFC
Not quite 50+ years here but been a fan for 40 or so and I know what you mean...gary anderson, Blair Walsh and the drew Pearson obvious push off to THIS...all I can say is its about damn time
Now go to Philly and get a win
Betting line and final outcome almost surreal or what???? Think of the thousands who bet the earlier 5pt spread???!!! Bookies scored big as the Vikings!

Don’t know if you ever listened to old school country music but there was a song with the phrase sometimes the pleasure just ain’t worth the pain.Hope that is not the case for you today.lol
