Minnesota Vikings - Purple Reign - Page 390 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Since the game ended, every time I think about the last play, I break out in uncontrollable laughter. I feel like Griffen looked in this interview: https://www.sbnation.com/2018/1/14/1...fs-2018-saints

I dont know how many of you remember this ending, but it is always on my mind when we are in a spot like we were last night right before the big play.

Cleveland was 10-4 entering this game and we were 8-6. We started this drive with 14 seconds left and no timeouts from our own 20 yard line.

One amazing play followed by a miraculous play. This won us the NFC Central.

By the way, we trailed 23-9 earlier in the 4th quarter of that game. Here's the whole story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_at_the_Met

When you see finishes like that, you always believe there's a chance that a finish like last night can happen.

A win and a loss to the Patriots away from being the worst team in SB history.

Yeah a mix of the different versions, the Joe Buck Call was great, the crowd noise one was epic.

The sideline angle with just the crowd noise was great. Kevin Harlan's call was great.

This makes me feel even better about who we beat and how it happened. What a douchebag.

Saints coach Sean Payton taunted fans with a 'Skol clap' just before the Vikings won

Similarly, on a different podcast, Bill Burr only wanted to talk about the Saints, because he clearly did not know the first thing about the Vikings.

...and it continues this week, as Cousin Sal described Keenum "leading the crowd in that cheer--that shark thing they do..."

America, you'd better recognize!

Ah hearing "Let's go crazy" playing loudly in the bar among the silence of these poor fans is so refreshing.

I'm not going to the game--but if I were, I'd wait till the last minute to buy a ticket. Next two days are probably the peak demand for tickets.

I'm 46% sure I know what I'm talking about.

Normally it peaks Sunday or Monday right after the matchup is decided but if the Vikings make it i don't think it's going to taper off whatsoever. Probably just keep going up.
