Wolves Lose

And the Steelers came back and won.

Not much worth watching last night.

Vikes Look Good

There wasn't a lot of offense in that game yesterday, but the Vikings game plan was short passes, lots of runs, and hold onto the ball while using all the game clock to their advantage.

As a result, Case Keenum was 25-30 with 227 yards passing and two TDs. The running game had 105 yards. AND the Viking defense was smothering (Atlanta was just 1-10 on third down. Matt Ryan's 30 straight games with a touchdown pass fell by the wayside.)

Consistent and methodical are the two best words to describe the Vikings yesterday.

With the Eagles losing, the Vikings are positioning themselves at a real chance for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. I keep waiting for the wheels to fall off this bus, but I'm growing more optimistic by the day.

Carolina lost to the Saints yesterday, so they are going to be desperate for a win next week at home against the Vikings.

I'm hoping that doesn't matter. I'm starting to think the Vikings are the better team.

Skol Vikings!

Zero

The number of teams in the NFL with a better record than the Vikings!

Football

I'm anticipating the Vikings game today. The Vikings schedule is not easy the rest of the way, BUT I think they should win more than they lose. This week and next will be tough.

Don't get blown out and don't get hurt.

That's the motto as you get closer to the playoffs!

Skol Vikings!

Last night's college conference championship games were a bit of a bust. Wisconsin needed a convincing win over Ohio State to make college playoff, instead they lost.

Miami picked the absolute worst time to have a two-game losing streak. They looked horrible against number one Clemson.

Alabama and Ohio State both want that last spot. Neither deserves it, but you need four teams for the playoff...

sigh

Case Keenum

NFC offensive player of the month, and people are still saying he's one poorly thrown interception away from being benched.

sigh

Wolves Lose

One win, one loss, one win, one loss...

repeat

I guess it's still better than losing 5 or 6 in a row, it's not like I want to spend much time watching them.

Eli and More Football

Eli Manning will not start for the Giants this week. He's healthy, but old and worn out. His consecutive games started streak will end at 210. The Giants told Manning they were okay with starting the rest of the teams games, but they then would play their back-up in the second half.

Manning declined. He's seen the handwriting on the wall. His career is over.

The Cowboys kicked the Skins last night. That keeps their small play-off hope alive.
