Wild Card Saturday Open Thread
Alright, folks. . .two playoff games today, the first being set to kick off in about five minutes here between the New York Jets and the Cincinnati Bengals. The weather in Cincy is in the 20s with possible snow showers at the start, but clearing up as the game progresses.
The game we're interested in, however, kicks off at about 7 PM between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. If Dallas wins, they'll be heading to Minneapolis next weekend to play the Vikings. If the Eagles win, we'll have to wait for the results of tomorrow's late game between the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals to see who our divisional playoff opponent will be.
Discuss all the action here, Viking fans!

Gotta love the commercial
of moments in tailgating history where the cheesehead was invented. For those of you who missed it; a female Viking fan is argueing with a Packer fan about the upcoming game and she kicks the Packer fan in the shin and then slams his round block on his head. I’ve been trying to find a link but can’t seem to find one. It’s hilarious!
SKOL Vikes!
Also
The one I saw showed a female Packer fan slamming the cheese onto the head of a male Viking fan. Maybe there are 2 different commercials.

Since the Jets were the 5 seed, they can still go to either San Diego or Indianapolis, pending the results of tomorrow’s Ravens/Patriots game.

Go Cowboys, for the 4th week in a row.
I’m starting to feel like a Cowboy fan. excuse me while I go puke
Oops, I didn't want them to get out of field goal postition.
But they were looking so good going down the field, then they implode.
Donovan McNabb is a stud
had him as my fantasy QB (on those weeks when Brett looked a bit weak). But I hope he plays like he did last week. I want the Vikings to play the Cowboys and not have to face those Packers one more time.
Based on what I am seeing
I guess I would prefer the cowboys to win. But it really doesn’t matter we can beat any of the teams still alive.
by SouthernNorseman on Jan 9, 2010 7:29 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Packers
So.. if the Eagles win and the Packers win we have round 3 in Minneapolis? I thought lowest seed went to N.O.
Blackout?
Has anyone heard if the game next week is sold out? I assume Favre + the extra week to buy tickets = sellout but I’d hate to have a repeat of last year’s ordeal (Jared Allen begging the fans to buy tickets).
The Eagles were seeded 6th
So they would play the Saints. All the rest were seeded higher than the Eagles. So they would play the Vikings (whichever wins).
That probably doesn't bode well for Dallas.
In a game where Vick is throwing TD passes, you know it’s gonna be a weird one. That said, go Dallas.

They’ve had two tough games against an arch-rival. Can they bring it next week? Maybe, but the Vikings will be well-rested and at home.
I'm optimistic about our chances
It’s at home, which is huge. Dallas has been playing sloppy (tons of penalties) and Philly has been playing like crap lately.
We’ll be fine.
Lets start prepping for the Cowboys
also bring on the NFL pundits saying the vikings have no chance at all to win.

I actually picked the Eagles to rebound from last weekend, play the cards they hid from the Cowbys, and beat Dallas tonight. Good thing I didn’t put money on that hunch!

Those are our players forcing those fumbles
And our offense is moving the ball rather easily on their defense, and if not for Jenkins slipping it would be a shutout so far.

There's still a full quarter left
and Philly’s D is known for big plays. 27 points seems like a lot, but it’s silly to risk it ini the playoffs.
It will be nauseating.
Hopefully the Vikings can use it as motivation, because I’m believe Dallas will be favored.
It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a Viking to raze a village.
Less pressure on Minnesota then.

Do not eat the Peyote buttons growing in the cow pasture,
they are not good for you. They have an adverse effect on your perception of reality. I’ll just give you a couple of quick examples.
If you think it’s so funny that the Vikings haven’t won a playoff game since 2004, how funny is that your Cowboys haven’t won a playoff game since 1998?
If a QB has a QB rating of 107.2 and he’s washed up, where does that leave your QB with a rating of 97.6?

Just to update you cryhavoc...1/09/2010 Dallas CowBoys 34 FillthydelFia Igglz 14...
Just to let you know them 14 points came from a blown coverage call on Maclin, and the other was just garbage time points that really had no bearing on the game…That was the first of 3 teams lining up to take their ass-whipping from us…Good luck selling that 107.2 QBR to others…well take it and wipe our ass with it…as for the Peyote buttons, is that similiar to your meadow-muffins, you know like they used on the Little House on the Prairie show?Guess your perception of reality must be based on the PaulBunyan fairytales…FEAR THE STAR….

As for the Peyote buttons, they are not similar to a meadow muffin. A Peyote button is a hallucinogenic mushroom. A meadow muffin on the other hand is the feces of the bovine so revered in “Yer parts”.
The only thing I fear about “THE STAR” is that she might attempt to sit on someone.

BTW, if "them 14 points came from a blown coverage call and the Eagles only scored 14, what was the “other” in garbage time?
