Week Eighteen: Minnesota Vikings (14-2) @ Detroit Lions (14-2)

Dr. Chao worried about left fibula fracture for Arnold.  All on a play that was over and an overzealous Muhammad dives on his own teammate. Hopefully we get Carlton Davis back.

I can't ****ing believe we're 15-2, we've won the NFC North and won the #1 seed. All the years we had to suffer through SOL moment after SOL moment was for this feeling right here and what a feeling it is.

Drafting a FB in arguably the best QB class ever in 1983, Monte Clark praying the kick goes in, Wayne Fontes caught with cocaine, passing on Randy Moss for Terry Fair in the draft, Barry retired via a fax, Germaine Crowell stays in bounds to run the clock out, Marty takes the wind, Matt Millen, process of the catch with Calvin, Schwartz errently throws the challenge flag, the batted ball in Seattle, a ten second run off against Atlanta, Calvin retires, Aaron Rodgers hail mary, the Silverdome fails to implode, Matt Patricia gets blown out in his debut game on MNF against a rookie QB, Swift drops the game winning catch. All of the anguish and suffering through the years, it was all for this feeling right here. All for the feeling of winning the division and getting the #1 seed in the NFC.

Put up an effing statue of him already. Put him in the ring of honor. He has already earned it. 

A couple of statues. On the corner of Campbell Drive and Holmes Boulevard.

Oh I remember that so vividly.  They should have released him the next day for being that selfish or stupid or both. 

 

On my list was the game vs. Carolina in 2005

SOL is a thing of the distant past. Seems like some fans @Mr.TaterSalad included that had a little SOL PTSD thinking the Vikings were going to win this game. Dan Campbell's Lions won't have any of that.

I can still see the incredulous look on Batch's face. He even dropped to his knees in disbelief.

I just thought without Davis and without a pass rush they were going to be out matched tonight. Aaron Glenn proved me wrong and then some today. These players silenced my doubts. Glenn coached the game of his life tonight.

Gun to the head I would have predicted Vikings by a FG before the game. I wouldn’t have said that a month ago. But the defense’s struggles against SF and the Vikings’ mostly comfortable win over GB unsettled me.
