I was under the impression that batting a fumble toward a teammate was illegal? But Matt Ryan fumbles it and pushes it toward Alec Pierce on first down.

If the Vikings run out the clock the tie clinches the NFC north.

Drilled it.

 

39-36 final.

Vikings were down 33-0 with 24 minutes left. Biggest comeback in NFL history.

All they do is win!!!!

Captain Clutch does it again leading the team on 5 TD drives in the 2nd half to come back from 33-0 including a 60 yard game winning drive in the last two minutes of OT.

He throws for 460 yards, 4 TDs and a game tying 2 point conversion. Captain Kirk leading the Ship to victory yet again!!!

The Vikings have now won two divisions this season. The NFC north and the AFC east.

Even if he didn’t bat it forward (which he obviously did and they even stopped and looked at it), if a player fumbles forward and a teammate recovers in the last 2 minutes or OT it’s supposed to come back to the spot of the fumble. One of many bad calls.

The Vikings were favorite by 3 points so winning on a last FG was a likely ending.

The game went just as expected right? ?

someone passed them a note that said you’re supposed to beat these guys? 
guess I’ll need to find a replay.  I missed the whole thing.  And the best part? I turned down tickets to this game. 
My not watching is probably what did it right?  You’re welcome. 😉

Kirk was sacked 7 times today yet kept shaking off all the hits and threw for 460 yards, 4 TDs, and a two point conversion. #Toughness

Locker room at half time…one chair was thrown.  At least two trash cans.  Just guessing.

Congrats on taking the "Biggest Comeback Ever" title away from the Bills. That was insanity.

Cook needs to go. On the sidelines getting beat 33 rip, he looks like a pot smoker in between tokes...not a care in the world. On the field, he can't take care of the ball and drops easy passes for touchdowns (buffalo). His value equation is getting upside down.

The shine is definitely off the rookie coach, and captain Kirk has reverted back to his mistake-prone self.

Too many holes to plug. The ship has sunk.

just reading back through some of these responses.  Kirk ended up with 460 yards and 4 TDS.  Such and incredible turnaround.

Streaky has had something that is well, mood-inducing...horrible take.

The Vikings are 10-0 in one possession games (8 points or less). I wonder if this has ever happened in the NFL?

The record is 14 one-possession games in a season (Giants in 1994 & Ravens in 2015), though it's both wins and losses. The Vikings had 13 one-possession games last year.

NY Giants (1994) 9-7, all 9 wins by 8 or less.

Baltimore (2015) 5-11, all 5 wins by 8 or less.

Vikings (2021) 8-9, 7 of the 8 wins by 8 or less.

That gave him 416 in the second half, I can’t find a record for just second half passing yards. Lots of records for first half passing yards but wild to only have 43 at the half and end up with 460. He also left a LOT of yards out there. Definitely not his best game as he was 34-54.

Don't know why colts go for 4th and 1 on vikings 35 with 2:30 left. Their kicker was hitting from that distance and a 52 yarder puts them up by 9 for the win.

 

Maybe that's what a 4-win team does.

Streaky is always good for a bizarrely over the top take that gets egg all over his face 😉

Fan police strikes again! 

Which part is bizarre? Which is over the top?

I still think they should trade cook at some point. Serviceable backs get the job done with a good O line, and this team has the arm and the receivers to be a top passing team. 

The coach and the team were garbage for almost three quarters, and it took the most epic comeback in NFL history to beat a 4-win team at home.  Thinking the vikings would actually come back would be bizarre. Those with the faith of a child were rewarded today.

I can't explain how this team has managed to pull off these improbable wins, but I think the team that got curb stomped by Dallas and Philly is the real Vikings. The defense doesn't figure to get any better come playoff time.

It was Murphy's Law in the first half yesterday. It was truly comical at how many things went wrong for MN. I had never seen anything like that before. The 2nd half, IMO, showed the true talent level of the teams.

The second half probably was a better example of both teams, but for whatever reason Indy's offense went to sleep. All they needed was a handful of first downs against the worst defense in the league to salt the game away. When they were up by 8 with a few minutes left, making a 52-yard field goal wins it for them. Instead, they went for it on fourth and about a foot or so. The Vikings got a little lucky on the spot, and the call stood. I get the decision. The odds of making a foot are probably better than making a 52-yarder, but their kicker seemed pretty dialed in.

I thought the Vikings were toast when Cousins threw the late INT (his receiver failed to run the correct route). But like all year long, they wiggled out that too.

They got away with an awful first half and two three-and-out drives to start the second half. It doesn't seem to matter who they play this year. All the games have gone this way - except two. In those two games, the Vikes were never in it from beginning to end.

Reaghor (sp?) cost Kirk Thuggins his INTs. One, he simply stepped out of the way for whatever reason, and the other, he cut his route off. Puzzling to say the least. We were kind of laughing about it (in a weird, twisted way) that in the first half, who'da thunk that we would be ripping the offense, and paying compliments to the defense?!

How is it fan police exactly to mock a bad take?  I never said you couldn't act that way, just poking fun that you do. 😉

 

Classic streaky take! ?
