Too bad NFL seeding sucks. No way Vikings should be playing a road game. They should be at home potentially getting a first round win. Seems other sports have it figured out the right way.

Did they win their division? No. Did they even win the head-to-head? No.

They've been blessed with a neutral field game as it is.

Looks like the winner gets to go to Philly. Not the potential second round matchup I wanted to have.

I didn't either, but the Eagles were not impressive yesterday. They did appear to lose Dean for the balance of the playoffs.

Vikes had two shots at the Lions to get it done, they failed. The last game they didn't even show up.

I feel like they'd be best to move on from Darnold after the season and let someone else take a chance with him. I think it's because of all of the offensive talent you got there is why he's succeeding as much as he is. The Vikes need to take their chances with McCarthy and save a lot of money to possibly use elsewhere.

This should be a good game....similar to last night's thriller.

I like the Rams and the points and the Ramas straight up to win and pull the minor upset. And of course.....the under.

RB hasn't been a problem this year. Kyren was available all season (only missed game was week 17 for rest) and he had 14 TDs to Henry's 16 (each had an additional 2 TDs receiving).

Some of Henry's success this year is tied to the threat of Lamar running as well. I don't think Henry is as effective had the Rams signed him, but who knows?

At the rate Henry is playing he can play 3 -5 more years at a high level. The guy never really had any major injuries and is a MONSTER trying to tackle. I can easily see 2 more 1k yd seasons even after being 30 +.

Yep, the winner of tonight's game goes to Philly as already mentioned above by UVA. I think that will be the end of our Playoff journey for this year if the Rams get out of tonight's game with a win. Watch the Rams deliberately tank the game tonight because they already know they wouldn't have much of chance at winning in Philadelphia!

The nerves are kicking in already....

Maybe he can. Odds are probably against it, but he's a beast.

Looks as though the Ravens are on their way to the winner of the Bills-Broncos contest. Derrick Henry is having a huge night with 22 carries for 169 yards so far. A big back of this caliber will give you that kind of production. Nope, we have to go with an also-ran Freeman and a midget back in Williams. And again, the Rams had a chance to sign Henry but the ShitferBrains Twins whiffed, again. Way to go dumbasses!!

Disrespecting Williams who has had a very nice season?

Wow.

Wow.

Nah. Just presenting a comparative expose on what could be with both of them on our roster. Williams had a better year than last but imagine what our offense would be like with a beast like Henry alongside Williams.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

One hour.

One hour.

Drink heavily.

Well, since you say so....

Almost game time!!!!
