oh man!

Wrong thread?

Vikings are shitting the bed on an amazing level. I hadn’t considered this and am not seeing any good articles clarifying it, but if they lose and Philly wins I don’t think there is any scenario in which they could win home field advantage anymore right? Dallas could still theoretically overtake Philly I think and so could the Niners but the Vikings could not since the Eagles beat them?

nice effort Mike, but this tread isn't about the eagles

head to head that would be correct.
a three way tie scenario would need more investigating, but still doubt they could be ahead.

Damn...haven't watched the game, but this is nuts and kind of confirms that sometimes it's more about when you play somebody...

Hockenson picks a hell of time to blow a tire.

But also…you have Justin Jefferson on your team and you’re throwing the ball with your punter coach? Da fuq?

Hot take alert! The Vikings are just having the bounces catch up to them. They still have pieces that can make plays. They’re literally a week to week team. This isn’t their week. Lot of game left.

just need to win 1 more game and they clinch the NFCN

 

[molsaniceman]

now they just giving the game away

VIkings getting desperate. Going for it on 4th down deep in your own end and then trying a fake punt. Now down 23-0.

 

[molsaniceman]

23-0 zip

 

[Cedrique]

Go for it you pussy

 

[Schmoopy1000]

well being down 23-0 should make the 2nd half entertaining.

You have just described a .500 team. The Vikings point differential is negative and they're getting blown out by the Colts.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

That's not saying a hell of a lot currently though.

Correct- the NFC North is bad.

the same team that beat the chiefs

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Man I remember games like this for my team.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

You know it's bad when a Chiefs fan is wondering if anyone plays defense in the NFC North.

The Vikings are just hard to watch

When excluding takeaways (historically random)

Vikings EPA/Play allowed: .109 (18th)
Chiefs EPA/Play allowed: .117 (20th)

Checks out!

Correct- the NFC North is bad.

The entire NFC isn't great. I'd put the Lions at #4 in the NFC currently but they might not be better than a single team in the AFC East. We'll see how it goes tomorrow against the Jets. Still getting used to the Lions not being terrible.

I don't think so...forward progress was stopped and ref blew the whistle...so play over
