Minnesota Vikings - Purple Reign - Page 382 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Case played fine. It was more of a product of a banged up line collapsing every play. He threw a dime early to Rudolph who decided it wasn't worth taking a big hit. He hit Theilen in the numbers for a dropped TD. I would say Sandejo had a WAY worse game than Case. He literally gave up 2 HUGE plays; the early TD where he jumped the gun instead of staying put, and the last big run by Cam where he cut early again.

Win out and we are fine, but does suck we won't have tiebreak vs Carolina now.

Not sure winning out is even necessary. If we end up 12-4 and so do CAR and NO we'll get the 2 seed. And with Wentz dead we should be the betting favorite to come out of the nfc even without hfa throughout.

I'm more referring to the CASE ISN'T GOOD BENCH CASE

It's ****ing ******ed to expect Teddy to perform at a higher level than Case is right now.

Been awhile since I remember feeling like a game is over after a first drive, but that was the case today. Bengals are terrible and we wanted to win today bad. Solid bounce back game from that **** show last week.

Be nice to win next week, but going to be funny watching how many calls the Packers are going to be getting. I just hope no one gets injured.

Kinda dreading next week tbh but this is a randy-moss-moon-lambeau-capable team. Losing would suck and deflate sails a lot. Win and I'm totally on the going to the superbowl train; loss and I'm firmly in the "welp lets see how they let us down this year" camp.

Also how do super bowl tix work? Do season tix holders for the local team get first dibs? Mainly wonder if SB could end up being like 75% Vikings fans

I would assume when you eliminate the travel aspect the pool of fans that can make the game vastly increases.

Also the vikes travel well and haven't been to a super bowl in forever. pats and steelers travel really well too though so I think the only way you see 75% is if its the jags or someone.

no idea if local team somehow gets a disproportionate number of tickets, that would be sick.

hopefully the weather is awful so more potential visiting fans will be turned off from making the trip.

I think you guys are jumping the gun a bit on thinking Super Bowl. We are the Vikings. I do like my 40-1 bet on Vikings to win SB before the season though.

and three consecutive speculative posts about the vikings in the superbowl solidifies the jinx and ensures we go out in the divisional round

FO thinks they're the best team by a decent margin. By weighted DVOA they have it:

1. Rams - 43.4%
2. Saints - 32.8%
3. Ravens - 30.7%
4. Pats - 25%
5. Vikings - 23.7%

I asked my uncle (season ticket holder) this the other day and he said season ticket holders don't get any priority. I guess the NFL is in charge of ticketing and they give no ****s about the season ticket holders of the host stadium even though those people bought and "own" their seat with that seat license bull****

Cheapest tickets were $3500 when I looked a couple days ago

I wouldn't pay $7k for two tickets if the '76 Vikings time warped into the game and my dad was the starting quarterback.

If I were given two tickets for free I would 100% sell them.
