Ignore the score. We dominated them. I don't think there was a single moment where it felt like the vikings had a chance to win that game.

Strange I did.. because we couldn't stop them. Especially when Theilen torched us for 45 yards to make it a 31-28 game.

The game was close the entire way..

It's all good though I'm just not going to laugh any any team until we have the Lombardi... then maybe I'll feel like laughing.

I am laughing g at the Vikings because Zimmer is a total Dick. And they had something going with Keenum. He deserved another shot. Then they through the vault at Cousins and he doesn't have the same mobility that Keenum does and their OLine woes ended up bringing it all to fruition. If Zimmer keeps his mouth shut about the Rams, then I wouldn't care.

Eagles will get that last Wild Card spot. Vikings are not good enough. Mike Zimmer will be let go once the Vikings are eliminated.

Cousins is a strange case. I followed the Redskins closely during the Rams exile; now the Vikings resemble the Kirk-era Redskins, defense and all. Kirk seems to play well individually, but the team just doesn't win situationally.

I would not underestimate the Vikings. They will win against the Bears. They are at home and possibly the Bears may bail on some starters if Rams are killing the 49ers at 1/2 time.

Don't sleep on the Vikings. I think they will beat the Bears in the playoffs.

I certainly would not want to face the Vikings in the playoffs too many match up problems and cousins plays well against us. I'd like them out. I think the Bears in LA would be best match for us and then prey the Eagles or maybe the seahags upset the saints.

We will certainly not be laughing if we have to play them again.

Yea I agree like I said to many match up problems it's probably the one team I can definitely say I don't want to see I'm not saying they are the best but they are strong every where we are not lol.

It'll be interesting to see if and when bears starters get pulled. Besides saving them for the wild card playoff, the bears can also play a decisive role in whether they will be facing the Vikings 2 weeks in a row or the surging eagles.

The bears may have a preference and if its the Vikings they will pull players early and probably lose, then point to the rams bitch slapping of the niners as the reason.

Either way, if the bears make it to L.A. it will be after 2 physically punishing games over the next 8 days.

They will go into the playoffs with the worst record against playoff teams among teams in the playoffs?

The Vikings are 0-5 vs playoff bound teams
The Chiefs are 2-4
Rams are 5-2
Saints are 3-1
Cowboys are 1-3
Bears are 3-1
Seahawks are 3-4
Patriots are 6-1
Texans are 2-2
Ravens are 2-3
Chargers are 3-3
Colts are 2-1

The Vikings are 0-5 vs playoff bound teams
The Chiefs are 2-4
Rams are 5-2
Saints are 3-1
Cowboys are 1-3
Bears are 3-1
Seahawks are 3-4
Patriots are 6-1

Actually your analysis is wrong.

The Rams Schedule:

Current Playoff teams the Rams have played

vs Chargers won
vs Seahawks won
vs Saints loss
vs Seahawks won
vs Chiefs won
vs Bears loss


As of today the Rams are 4-2 vs Playoff teams that are already in the tournament. Who is the 5th team?

Current Playoff teams the Saints have played

vs Rams won
vs Cowboys loss

As of today the Saints are 1-1 vs Playoff teams that are already in the tournament. Where did you get a 3-1 record for the Saints?

Get your math straight.

Zimmer is a dick. The Vikings screwed up in hindsight paying Cousins because he can't win big games, but Keenum wasn't the answer either.

Maybe, maybe not. Keenum looked like the answer last year. He was a better fit with that team and showed it all year, including the playoffs.

Meanwhile Cousins is arguing with receivers on the sidelines.

Then we have Nick Cole's, another Not the answer QB going to the Superbowl last year, and playing well enough to get a team to the playoffs. Yet he's still regarded as less talented than Wentz.

Sometimes personality and style can work with a team. If teammates like and believe in you they play better, more relaxed. Cousins is uptight and not all that likable. Keenum is laid back and players like him.
