Did you tell him that you played some quarterback, too?

Maybe word just hasn't gotten back around to us that flannel is back in again. Hell I still roll my jeans man!

As part of festivus maybe you could roll your jeans, pull the tongue out on your high tops, and roll up the sleeves on your tee to show the pipes!

Worry about your own tongue why donchya!

Big game this Sunday - on grass. The Vikings are a turf team and going against an elite team at their place it doesn't look good. But if the Vikings lose and the right other teams lose the playoffs are still within reach. And if the Vikings make the playoffs, then they make the playoffs.

Looks like Camel hits it on the head - what a great football mind. Win and the Vikings are in. Packers are playing for a bye and if the Vikings win the Packers could be hosting the Vikings again next week in the playoffs. (PLAYOFF??!!) I'm thinking Camel is the only one that seen that one coming around the bend.

Sunday's game has been moved to 3 pm (I'm thinking that means Joe Buck will be at the dome - Joe Buck Sucks.) I'm thinking the late late game with the Cowboys at Redskins will be determining if the Vikings make it into the playoffs. Vikings lose, Bears lose, Giants lose and then if the Cowboys lose the Vikings are in. Easy as pie.

Camel's complete breakdown from August -

Of the Vikings 13 losses in 2011, only four were by more than 7 points. The other nine were by a combined total of 44 points, or 4.8888888888 points per game. That's one play per game. So if they Vikings are able to make one more play per game in five games, they will win five more games to get to 8-8. And the law of averages suggests that they will make plays in more than those games, considering the equality of talent in the NFL (there are four really good teams, four really bad teams and the other 24 teams are equal). Well, the Vikings are in that middle bunch, and if the Murphy's Law thing takes affect expect the Vikings to improve by six to eight wins, finishing between 9 and 11 wins. I have little doubt that we will be starting a Playoff Thread in four months.

Thanks to Norton for refreshing us.

All I know is it's four months later and all the talk is about the playoffs - just as the Camel predicted. I'm thinking if Arizona can somehow pullout the win at the Niners the Vikings will then be playing in the NFC championship game in a few weeks. If the Niners do win then it's not good as the Vikings can't beat Erin Rogers in back to back weeks. But hey - what a fun ride it's been. PLAYOFFS???!!!!!!!!!!
