Favorite Play/Moment of the Regular Season

by FarvaForTheVikings on Dec 28, 2008 7:17 PM CST Comment 19 comments

First of all, SKOL Vikings on the division crown! I never doubted them over the last couple of weeks. Sure, they scared the hell out of me, but I believed they would come through. The "choking" stops here.

Also, thanks to the Texans for having our backs just in case we had... never mind, won't even go there.

That being said, now that the regular season is out of the way, what was your favorite play or moment of the regular season?

Among my favorites: Tjack's emergence, beating the Packers the 2nd time around, anything having to do with Jared Allen.

But for my favorite play, I'm going with Madieu hustling across the field and knocking the RB out of bounds at the 1, setting up the goal line stand and the 99 yard TD pass that not only turned that game, but our whole season.

What did all of you like best?

The 99 Yard Bomb To Berrian

That one play totally turned the Bears game around and saved our season. Sure it took us until the last week to clinch the division but without that play and game we wouldn’t be in the playoffs.

Seconded

After that stop on the one yard line on fourth down, the bomb to BB was the cause of much joyous shouting.

Second has to be Winfield sack/FF/TD on Delhomme.

Choking Theme Remix & Best Plays

Romo, TO and the Cowboys have claimed the most recent “choking” title! Season’s Best Plays: Funniest play: Orlovsky? running out of the endzone from #69 for the safety! Favorite play of the regular season: 99yd bomb is obviously #1 but what about Peterson’s TD run against the Packers and no one forgets AD trucking through/knocking Al Harris flat in the season opener! Best FG moments: Watching the Packers miss their FG and watching Longwell do what he does best with the Division Winner today!

Goal Line Stand

Against Chicago – “other” teams have goal line stands! But the Vikes were that “other” team on that day, at that moment.

All of the long term Vikes fans know exactly what I mean by that.

The “new” Vikes have arrived!!!!

I'm Old Enough

to remember an era when the Vikings front four of Carl Eller, Jim Marshall, Alan Page, and Gary Larsen wrote the book on stands like that. It’s good to see it happen again. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

Goal Line Stand Turned 99 yard touchdown

An absolutely perfect 5 consecutive plays. The defense reaffirmed that they can still dish out a beatdown while the offense proved that they could be a threat. That is my favorite Vikings moment of all time.

Goal Line Stand + Bomb

The Vikings killing the bears with that goal line stand, then proceeding to jam the knife right into their hearts and hit Bernard “LOLBEARS” Berrian with a 99 yard Touchdown pass.

Best Play

As a (first time) season ticket holder, I can at no point during the season was the dome louder than when the Berrian bomb occurred. Personally it was more satisfying watching Crosby miss the FG to win, but as a singular moment absolutely nothing tops seeing Gus pump right, wondering why the hell we’re passing, praying to avoid a safety, then looking down at the field to see Bernard sprinting straight at me and thinking “Oh my God, I hope Gus gets it there.” When he caught it I landed on the person in the row in front of me. Truly euphoric.

Week 3

I don’t get the chance to go to the games but i was lucky enough to make it to week 3 against Carolina. I didn’t get my voice back for 2 days after yelling when Antone Winfield had his sack/ff/fr/TD

Jared Allen is to football what Jason Voorhees is to Lake Crystal.

That Henderson Super-man tackle was pretty sweet. You will be missed, E.J.

Correction

You have been missed, E.J.

Lower Deck Tickets on 50 yard line behind Vikings bench = $119.00
Parking by the Metrodome = $25.00

How about...
