Hunter unblocked and still can’t seal the edge on a 3rd and 1, another conversion for WAS
Peterson got smoked on that TD
These moron WAS fans booing obviously correct calls….duh
Incredible throw and maybe even better catch by Dalvin. Tie game.
Pretty obvious PI on the former gopher there, uncalled of course.
Not a fan of the fade throw on 3rd down. Should have run that jet sweep to Jefferson again and keep the clock running at if you don’t make it.
Washington evidently felt bad and hit the center on the ensuing FG attempt, giving the Vikings the ball again.
This is a dangerous play with Joseph as your kicker
Nice job getting him down in bounds. 7-1.
Super Bowl homeboy?
Impressive come from behind road win. The rest of the division is so bad it’s pretty much a lock already.
All they do is win!!!! Down 10 points in the 4th quarter no worries we've got Captain Clutch. Another 4th quarter win for Kirk. ?
With the Bills losing to the Jets the Vikings are now the only team with one loss and that loss was to the only undefeated team.
7-1, but very well could be 1-7... lol!!!
Keep your stick on the ice...
Great comeback by Minnesota today. That Washington defense is no joke. And they were missing their best DE.
For a scrubby QB, Heinicke sure loves to taunt. He was like 14/27 for 135 yards with a TD (and 50 of those yards and the TD were literally handed to them by the back judge) and was pointing and cheering and chirping. He's like the dude on a group project who does almost nothing, and the stuff he does needs to be fixed by someone else, but then brags about how awesome he did on the project.

I called that pre-season. Bills and Vikings. I still stand by that despite the embarrassing loss to the Jets today. I think Bills stomp next week. I would think differently had the Bills beat the Jets, but now...
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
TJ Hockenson barely knowing the Vikings play book after being traded 5 days ago had 9 catches (on 9 targets) for 70 yards.
Irv Smith in 36 games in his career has never reached either of those mark (catches or yards).
Irv's money is going to JJ next year. Irv is gone.

The 7-1 record is terrific. and the 4th quarter resiliency is a welcome attribute. I'll be curious to see how they match up against Buffalo next week. As noted already, the Bills will most likely be a tiny bit ornery.
I am guessing the line will be -6.5 BUF. Homefield is huge next week.

Looks like the weather should be decent, partly cloudy and low 40's.
TBH, already on pins and needles. Sunday can't come soon enough. O/U heart attacks is 3.5 😉

The NFC North standings look like a snapshot from the NFC Central in the 70s. Only thing missing is Tampa Bay and its 0-for record.

The Vikings need to go 3-6 to make the playoffs, if even with the crappy division. And they get 2 of those games against the Bears and Lions.
The Vikings have the division wrapped up, unless they REALLY crap the bed. And despite MN sports history, I dunno if they are capable of that.

Well, if it were any other sport than football I’d say MN can still MN their way out of it, but this is a sport with Lions and Bears.

It’s very possible the Vikings could lose the rest of their games and still win the division
They are not in the NFC South, let's be real here. 😀

Exactly. The bottom 3 in the North are worse than the bottom 3 in the South.
The bottom in the north might be better than the top in the South. Could be a Preposterous Statement of the Year, but...it's not THAT far-fetched.

If for some reason Josh Allen (elbow) can't go next week for Buffalo, it will be the Bizarro Minneapolis Miracle game, with Case Keenum and Stefon Diggs facing the Vikings.

I really hope Allen plays. The Vikings need a real test (that they haven't had since @PHI) to show where they are truly at in the season and how they've progressed under the new regime. Even though that makes them more likely to lose it's time to prove their mettle against the best.

Exactly. I’d like them to know where they need to get to have a chance. Dropping to 7-2 in the process isn’t the end of the world if it happens.

Why wouldn’t Allen play? He didn’t seem all that nicked up (post game). I do wish Bills hadn’t lost to Jets, they’ll be irritated…
My score prediction for the Vikings game. 10-30. Vikes jump out to a 7-0 lead and struggle to get 1st downs the rest of the way.
I hope I am wrong.

I was in Madison that Halloween weekend for Gopher Hockey, dressed in Vikings Jersey and Helga Horns, celebrating the 7-0 start. Quite the epic weekend. The drive home, listening to the Tampa game was soooo depressing. Tampa of all teams.
The story PA and Hawkey told today about the drunk fan at the game in front of their booth is some is the funniest radio I have heard in years!

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

This is just the first of two showdowns between the teams. 😉

It's looking more and more like Josh Allen wouldn't play this Sunday.

Ben Laver thinks he will... if that means anything.

"If" that would happen... One of the 2 biggest 0-for's wouldn't be a 0-for... LoL!!!

Though Vegas and the whales might be thinking Allen is not playing. Vikings opened at -8, not it's -3.5. The o/u has dropped from 49.5 to 43.5. And the weather forecast is 41 with an up to an inch of rain/snow mix.

In addition the ESPN website showed the line opening at Bills by 7.5 points and it now at 3.5 points. It appears Josh Allen's availability (in this case likely lack of) is causing the shift.

I don’t think the Vikings were favored. They likely opened at +8.
Clerical error, but thanks for your keen eye.

Looks like the Rebels will be able to attack the Death Star when it's not at full strength. 😉
