Vikings Defeat Redskins, 17-13, To Win Leslie Frazier's Debut
Whew. . .what a football game, and what a performance for the Minnesota Vikings in Leslie Frazier's head coaching debut.
We'll have more breakdowns of this over the next couple of days. . .for now, I'm just going to settle in with the Red Zone channel, a couple of Mountain Dews, and feel what it's like to feel good about this team again, if only for a little while.
Feel free to use this thread to talk about the game, talk about the late games. . .talk about whatever you want.
Wow. . .what a great job by the Minnesota Vikings this afternoon.

Great win, and a great weekend for Minnesota football
The Floyd of Rosedale is in the Gopher trophy case, and the Vikings won on the road.

Hmm, let's see....
They picked up on a cry-baby QB that the Vikings didn’t want.
They picked up a used, old RB that the Vikings had no use for.
I wonder if any of those things have helped….
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!
Hey, remember when I said
That the Chicago Bears were the best team in the NFC North, and a bunch of whining, pathetic, useless little 12-year olds felt the need to whine that I wasn’t kissing their team’s ass enough?
Yeah. . .the Bears are whooping one of the hottest teams in the league right now.

so you are jumping on the bears bandwagon? <<<< anything "bears" sucks ass.

Anything Bears
Sucks considerably less ass than anything Packers.
And I’m not on their bandwagon. . .I’d just like to see them win the division if we can’t.

i wanna see the bears get beat silly today by the eagles....except they are not cooperating.

I'm not saying
I’m just saying is all.
I’m also just saying that the OMG GREATEST TEAM EVER led by the OMG GREATEST QUARTERBACK EVER found a way to piss another close game down their collective legs this afternoon. Guess they didn’t know how to react to playing a team that was actually putting forth an effort.

Well, the “OMG GREATEST QUARTERBACK EVER” did play pretty well today. Good enough to make it a game, and AGAIN the special teams failed him.
Kind of funny that you would refer to him as the “GREATEST QUARTERBACK EVER” too. I feel like I see a guy proclaiming some to be the best ever, and I’m pretty sure he’s not talking about Rodgers. Just saying.

I like Rodgers' come from behind win
how many 4th qtr comebacks does Rodgers have now?
what about Favre?
Rodgers
Has as many fourth quarter comebacks as I do. And I’ve never taken a snap as an NFL quarterback.
I don’t want to hear how the defense or special teams lost the game, either. . .if that would have been Favre and the Vikings losing the game that way, it would have been us choking.

Only if Favre had chucked a game losing pick.
Hey, they got beat by a very good team today. Shit happens. They can’t run the ball and that makes it hard to beat the best teams and its why they’re probably going to go out early in the playoffs this season, assuming they make it in (and though they wouldn’t if the season ended today, I still think they will).

We don't want . We need the Bears to lose . Along with a few broken bones to add to our second half surge to the playoffs .

dont think we can assume we will destroy the bills
If the vikings think like that, they will be very foolish. The bills are better then there record indicates
except that he just got sacked so hard lost his shoe!
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
Cutler is SO GOOD....

I’d really like to see Seattle or St. Louis play this year. They are (apparently) much improved, but neither are ever on TV.

The Eagles (unlike the pre-fired-childress vikings) are still trying to score with TOs and time on the clock before halftime
Yours truly was there
It was amazing being there in person. Got to share this win with my daughter and son and many unhappy skins fans. We had a good showing of purple in the bleachers and all in all a great afternoon for football. They looked impressive and no worries about A.D. He was running around the side line and no doubt will be ready next week, SKOL!

In 2 leagues this year, my first round draft picks were DeAngelo Williams and Ray Rice in the other. Both fantasy teams are crying.

Couldn't have said it any better
Even with the Vikes being 4-7, you couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.
It would have been even better if the bears had lost
but I will take a Vikings victory ……… Yay we won!!!!

Nice win
Good to see runs to the LEFT side runs.
Good to see a ROAD WIN.
Good to see a hurt player held out rather than sent in.
Good to see a little more energy.
Good to see some pass rush with the 4.
SKOL VIKINGS
But before we go ga ga.
Thank you redskins for dropping balls and pushing tacklers in the back.
It was the 5-6 Skins.
Rice was MOA. (Hurting?)and
Compare our D to the Bears or the 49’s the way they tackle and tackle the ball and it makes you sad
And we have no QB next year. (Please don’t even think about it 4 just don’t)
The legacy of BC era is that we have no QB. Could of had Cutler, Drew Brees, Vick and others.
I’m enjoying the win and know that LF is playing for the head coaching spot, but any chance of trying out WEB or TJ is shot with LF trying to win the job. Of course if he believes like many that TJ ain’t it and WEB is years away then what the heck.
Nice to win (unless you wanted a high draft pick).
Head Coach Hey Bret what do you want to run. That’s cool.
Thought this was A Vikings Defeat Redskins thread not a
Eagles vs. Bears or Packers lose to Falcons thread.
YEA WE WON AND IT FEELS GOOD TO SEE THAT CONSERVATIVE PLAYCALLING DIE! PLUS SOMEBODY KNOWS HOW TO FEED AP THE DAMN BALL! SKol VIKINGS!

Congratulations, Leslie Frasier
To me, this guy looks like a pretty good coach. However, I really wish he’d get off the Brett Favre thing and start evaluating T Jack and Joe Webb. The Vikings need to find out if TJ or Webb will be worthy of the QB spot next year, or if they need to spend a first round pick on the best available guy. It’s a really important issue. If TJ or Webb look good enough, then the team can spend its 1st rounder on something else they really need, like a speedy CB that can return punts. Or another wide receiver. Or another offensive tackle.
Since we already know the Vikings won’t make the playoffs, we might as well start looking at the QB situation for next year. On that, I agree with Sir Francis.
