Between the Christmas holiday and the Daily Norseman treating the Favre/Childress "controversy" with all the coverage that it actually merited (not what ESPN decided it should get), it's been kind of a slow week here at the site. And today is going to make it seem even slower, as we have to wait until tomorrow to see the Beloved Purple in action. So, we'll use this here thread to talk about today's action.
Some of today's games have a bit more interest and intrigue for Vikings fans than others. . .one in particular. That game is one of the 4:15 games, and it will pit the Denver Broncos against the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia is breathing down Minnesota's necks for the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs and a potential first-round bye. Minnesota's magic number for clinching that #2 spot is 2, which means any combination of Minnesota victories and Philadelphia losses that adds up to 2 will give the Vikings that first-round bye. The Eagles have been on a roll lately, having won five consecutive games, while the Broncos have been going the opposite direction, having dropped two straight, including an embarrassing loss to the Oakland Raiders at home last weekend.
That game will be on Fox, or DirecTV channel 715 at 3:15 PM Central time.
Here's the rest of Sunday's Week 16 slate:
Noon Central Time Kickoffs
Buffalo Bills @ Atlanta Falcons (CBS, DirecTV Channel 704)
Kansas City Chiefs @ Cincinnati Bengals (CBS, DirecTV Channel 705)
Oakland Raiders @ Cleveland Browns (CBS, DirecTV Channel 706)
Houston Texans @ Miami Dolphins (CBS, DirecTV Channel 707)
Jacksonville Jaguars @ New England Patriots (CBS, DirecTV Channel 708)
Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers (CBS, DirecTV Channel 709)
Carolina Panthers @ New York Giants (FOX, DirecTV Channel 710)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New Orleans Saints (FOX, DirecTV Channel 711)
Seattle Seahawks @ Green Bay Packers (FOX, DirecTV Channel 712)
3:15 PM Central Time Kickoffs
Detroit Lions @ San Francisco 49ers (FOX, DirecTV Channel 713)
St. Louis Rams @ Arizona Cardinals (FOX, DirecTV Channel 714)
New York Jets @ Indianapolis Colts (CBS, DirecTV Channel 716)
Sunday Night Football
Dallas Cowboys @ Washington Redskins (NBC)
There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. . .discuss away! I'll be in and out for most of the afternoon. (Hopefully more in than out.)

Wow, NFC East teams on Sunday Night
I’m shocked…SHOCKED to find gambling going on in this casino.

Who do we need win/lose today besides the Pack as always.
The only game we really, really care about
Is Broncos/Eagles.
The Saints losing again would be nice, too. . .but we’re not catching them for the #1 seed anyway.

They went back to the defense that they’re entire team was built for and all of a sudden they’re not a doormat… imagine that.
Agreed
Three weeks ago some Viking fans were worrying about who the Vikings would play in February; let’s just slow down and worry about beating Chicago tomorrow night. In the meantime, go Broncos!
It is going to be cold in Soldier Field, which will have a levelling effect on the talent gap between the two teams.

That can’t tackle Jonathan Stewart… Panthers looking scary— shame they’re not gonna make the playoffs. Hopefully they roll the Saints next week and we beat down a depressed Giants team?
And the late games are underway!

Lions/Niners
Rams/Cardinals
And, the big one, Broncos/Eagles.

Under further review...
With today’s early games done, last week’s pitiful butt-whipping by Carolina doesn’t look quite as bad: the Panthers just shelacked the Giants, and the Tampa Bay Bucs (!!!) just beat New Orleans in OT.
This is not to say we can write off the two embarassing losses to Arizona and Carolina, but if the lowly Bucs can beat the Saints, and the Panthers can destroy the Giants, then the Cards and Panthers games may not indicate the Viking meltdown many of us feared, myself included.

Also the Cards dont compare to the Bucs
Which makes us better.
Only downside is the Saints fans are going to run around and say how this was a division game and thats why they lost but who cares COME ON VIKINGS KILL THE BEARS

And the Broncos are now on the verge
Of being the third team in NFL history to start out 0-6 and miss the post-season.
I’m sure everyone remembers who the last one was.

Hoping for a block or a bad snap or something
Otherwise, the heat is really on us tomorrow.

Kyle Orton
Nice guy, decent player and a perfect backup. I guess they got the draft picks for whatever.
I think that is better
I think the Vikings play better when they are under pressure. I am not worried. They will win, and the Eagles will lose next week.
I hate the Eagles
We just need to take care of business tomorrow and next week

And theres the game
Eagles Win…now we gotta take care of Buisness tomorrow
I would rather..
Go in winning instead of having it handed to us. If we can’t beat the next 2 teams, we aren’t going anywhere in the playoffs, anyway.
Anyone hanging around here for the...
boys v. skins game?
I BELIEVE...

The NFL Rewind team...
likes the Vikes to beat the Bears.
don’t think Favre is fading… agree with us that it was a team failure… lacking focus, etc.
I BELIEVE...

I agree...
except the Carolina game was not team failure, we just got beat….just like they beat the Giants today. Arizona was a team failure.
Lack of Focus...
probably a bigger contributor to those 2 losses than anything else.
I BELIEVE...

Question...
I looked back to 2000… best division record 5-1
Has any team swept the North/Central in the past?
I BELIEVE...
by ArizonaVikingsFan on Dec 27, 2009 7:47 PM CST reply actions
Nope
If the Vikings win tomorrow, they’ll be the first team since we went to the current divisional format to do so.
