    Case has not looked good tonight. Needs to step up.

    Harrison Smith snub from the pro bowl :lol:

    First shutout since 1993.

    Expected more from the offense but defense wins championships.

    Cold weather games almost always are low scoring - great defensive game.

    Agreee 100% in the hitman

    Also I've never seen anything like that fiasco in the first half saying they actually played the 3rd down instead of the 1st, what a joke.

    Part of the deal Jenkins made with the NFL to stop protesting must have been a pro bowl nod over Smith.

    Because the Jags gave up 44 points to 49ers and the Vikes shut out Green Bay, the Vikes are now the official #1 defense in the league.

    If by some miracle Philly actually makes it to the NFC championship game (They won't), playing them in the cold in Philly is the least worrisome game of the playoffs.

    What's that? They have had a tough time with the Giants and Oakland the last 2 weeks. They are not winning with Foles.

    They have an excellent run D, not sure if you have noticed the vikings play very conservative on the road. Have they lost with Foles at QB?

    They looked pretty terrible last night. Defense wasn't bad.

    They are not making it anywhere vs good playoff teams with Foles. Their defense is not good enough to carry a bad QB.

    Now you're just talking nonsense for the sake of disagreeing. You can't possibly believe what you watched last night is capable of a deep playoff run.

    No the D responded the Ravens won with Trent Dilfer so it is possible. Yes it was ugly but it is undeniable that the team is 2-0 under Foles, you do not get extra for style points.

    Ugly is completely different than inept.

    "Vikings safety Harrison Smith was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after his performance against Green Bay. Smith picked off two of Brett Hundley's passes and now has five interceptions this season. Smith is now the only player in the NFL with at least 70 tackles, five interceptions and one sack."

    He's the best safety in the league.

    I listen to Minnesota sports talk radio on a regular basis and I think that we have two of the only confident viking fans posting here, from what I hear most know that sadly now there can be but 1 outcome.....ultimate failure. Not only have the vikings failed at 4 attempts to win a championship but a little known fact the minnesota vikings have never scored a single point in the first half of a Super Bowl.
