Well, the Vikes won again and today they did it without a huge defense and special teams spectacle. Granted, hey could have played a lot better and put the game away a few different times but the bottom line is that they managed to win again. 5 straight now and we've got 3 of our last 4 at the Dome.

The Bears won too despite a major lack of offense. They got lucky they were playing such a weak Packers squad or they woulda gotten worked.

Even if the Vikes don't catch the Bears, our overall playoff hopes increased dramatically this week because we are now tied for the last wild card spot with Atlanta and Dallas.

I was only half serious when I came on here a few weeks ago claiming the Vikes had a legit playoff shot, but they seem to be making good on it! Go Vikes!

What's new about that?

All I'm saying is that the Bears will need to bring more than 1 defensive TD to the table in week 17 if they want to hold on to the division because the Vikes have been lighting it up lately on offense, defense and special teams.

Lighting it up against the Lions,Browns and Packers isn't saying much.


Having said that, I do think the Viks have a decent shot, after this week we'll see just how decent it is.

Well lighting it up against weak teams is better than not lighting it up against them. The Bears didn't light much of anything up on Sunday against the Pack. Chicago always seem to just squeak out low scoring games which is a HUGE credit to their awesome defense, but if their offense could put points on the board, then they might actually be a serious contender.

Yeah, this week is big.

Cheer up Alex Ferguson, maybe next year HA HA HA HA HA

^ WTF?

Who's Alex Ferguson and what are you talking about?

Ohhh... No wonder I was confused. I just googled Alex Feguson and found out he's a coach for Manchester United or something like that. We're talking American football here buddy. NFL. :)

Football is football even if it's futbol.
