Game Thread: Vikings vs Eagles

[DutchBird]

Bad plane ride into Philly, I think.

Part of the issue...

And Doug Pederson might just be that good.... (in combination with the Eagles O-line).

Note how he has had the team do this to multiple alledged top defenses (or at least alledged top when the Eagles played them)...

 

[olympicoscar]

They're not

Never know.

 

[Vadered]

Hell of a game for both the offense and defense to be off their game.

To be fair, it's just the big turnovers on the pash rush. Without those, this game is basically even.

 

[SeizeTheCarp]

I vote for heartbreak. Missed FG.

See, yea, that would be fun to see them do that again, but a 48-10 shellacking would make for a more enjoyable overall game; plus cause me less stress.

Gonna be tough for the Vikes to come back.

Nearly impossible. The Eagles pass rush is eating us alive. This is literally the exact opposite of how I thought this game.

 

[Four4Four]

Hey vikes, remember when u had home field for one week in week 12 I believe?

 

[Schmoopy1000]

OK so good first half for Philly. I expect they down it here and go inside.

Nope your coach is playing to win, not playing to not lose.

Philly is a better 2nd half team. I think a big part of that is that Pedersen is great at half time adjustments.

not arguing that at all.
Just with a half to play for a team that was good enough to make it to the Championship game, I wouldn't be saying game over (although that last FG hurt)

I think Keenum is done for the day. Like I stated earlier, when he gets pick-sixed early, he goes in the tank not to return for at least several weeks into the future. Looks like it is happening today.

 

[Iggloo]

These douchebags who celebrated this afternoon at the Rocky statue might have jinxed it for the Vikings.

 

[GNG]

OK, I'll admit to rooting for them against the Giants (twice) and the Eagles in Super Bowls.

You finally admitted the obvious but you also cheered for them while pretending to be a Cowboys fan. You are not fooling anyone.

 

[GNG]

The Cowboys had Zeke's suspension, constant drops by the receivers, and a jumbled offensive line. Not going to blame Zak.

I am putting most of the blame on Dak. He choked in the big games.

 

[Airraidtech]

Oh the resident! Oh my god that and the autistic guy shit I don’t knows what to watch

 

[Retroram52]

WTH Iggloo? People actually doing this bush league shit?

I agree and I sure as hell hope that they saw what happened to the Jags earlier in the day. Philly needs to continue to put the choke hold on Minny and not go Andy Reid conservative playcall in the 2nd half.

Everyone is invited over to DJ's after the game for beer and pzza

Have you watched Sam Bradford under pressure? I would LOVE for them to go to Sammie Sleeves at the half, but there is simply no way. They rode Keenum here and barring injury he is playing the full game. He is not playing well but he also doesn't play OT. Those tackles are getting killed.

First half thoughts

Eagles look like a team that should play in the Super Bowl

Vikings look like a half assed team that plays in a bad division.

The best defense they played was the Bears. No wonder their offense looks out of sorts tonight.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Kinda agree with this astute assessment.

Vikings laying an egg against a Nick Foles lead Eagles team in a game that would send them to a Super Bowl in their home stadium.

Hopefully Nick Foles finds that 2013 magic he had in the Super Bowl.
