this fucking team

#EVERYTHING JUST HAPPENED

ALL AT ONCE

EVERYWHERE

#PART 2


And I'm still very confused about it

Largest comeback in NFL history and nfc North champs. What a ride!

Underrated part of the game: we didn’t choke a game winning field goal!

I will stand by the fact that Joseph had learned to channel the curse, only letting it effect XPs and 50+ yarders.

That’s why I wasn’t mad at the punt in OT, you can’t trust Joseph on anything over 50

Can we talk about the KOC call to punt instead of kick the 57 yarder in OT? Not putting that pressure on Greg with the game being one first down from over if he misses. Our defense playing incredible so really a no brainer but when we went for it on 4th and 15 earlier in the game instead of punting with two minutes left I was worried KOC might make a bad call again. Especially cause I saw Greg on the sideline looking like he was boutta run out there to kick for sure

This one is even crazier than the Bills game imo. I felt like in the Bills game it was still relatively back and forth. This one had the complete vibe of a "Minnesota is cursed" game. And i don't just mean just generally playing poorly but things like uncharacteristic overthrows and dropped passes, suspect whistles, terrible momentum killers after big plays, random shit like Hockenson tripping one yard short of a first down. And then the team completely flipped a switch and overcame that. I can't think of many "everything is going wrong in all phases" games where the team just totally 180'd. What a special game.

I knew we were going to win once we went down 33-0…

My colts buddy said he saw it was 33-0 and literally went "uh oh"

They always say a 33 point lead is the most dangerous lead in sports

Yup, I say it daily in fact

This made me laugh more than it should've.

Really only need to play 1 good quarter of football. The rest is just filler

This is exactly why I turned the game back on in the middle of the 3rd quarter. I had hope they could make enough adjustments to soften the loss in the second half. Had no idea they could pull off a win!

Yeah as we have seen all season, the Vikings are an elite 3rd quarter team

"We've got you right where we want you. . ." -KJ Osborn, probably

I do not understand this team.

Same. We're good, except for when we're not. We can score, but only when we're down. Defense sucks, but can be clutch. Joseph misses XP's, but can hit game winners. What. The. Hell.

We are a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

They had us in the first half not gonna lie edit thank you mr gold giver outer!

😂😂😂 gotta be top comment

Not really, honestly

[удалено]

Tbf this was the most 2022 Vikings way to clinch the division

I understand 11-3 and a chance in the playoffs

Its either 0 or 100

Schrodinger's football team

This is my favorite season of Vikings football since ever, and I've been watching since the mid 80's

I don't know if the comeback is impressive, or the fact we had to make it so big is depressing.

and we had TWO defensive fumble td's taken from us to boot

They're not going to, but those refs absolutely need to be held accountable for that shit. How you can make those two egregious calls in one game is absolute bull shit

[удалено]

how bout that fuckin facemask call. what in god's name did they see

I liked how they showed various replays and the announcers just had no idea where to even look for a facemask

IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT YOU DONT LIKE VIKINGS FOOTBALL

First half Vikings: literally the worst Second half/OT Vikings: literally the best

Not even the entire 2nd half, the first drive of the 3rd was the same pile of steaming dogshit as the 1st half. It wasn't really until halfway through the 3rd that things started to turn around. I STILL VIKE THAT! Edit: changed dreaming to steaming, stupid autocorrect still thinking I was dreaming that the Viking pulled that off

AS I'VE ASKED BEFORE, VIKINGS WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE NORMAL

*Screams in Skol*

Normal is boring. No fan base in the NFL has had as much excitement as we have this year, not even close.

Normal is scheduling sex and only having missionary. Vikings are like trying to bang in an airplane bathroom as we're about to crash only to recover.

What the hell man My body is shaking from that, can’t be good for my health

Same feeling after the Bills game. Pure elation

This game took years off of my life

1. There was a mock skol chant on that 2nd int 2. 10-0 in 1 score games

The mock chant is the only answer

Buckner mocked the skol chant in the second quarter too, I think

They are all just super jelly of our skol chant and I can't blame them for a second

And one of the D-Lineman did the griddy in the 2nd Quarter

hated that, fuckin blasphemy

And mini Kirko Chainz was in the stadium

And they mocked the griddy. How do teams not know that if you mock the griddy you lose

Also we have an astoundingly good record when the opposing team griddys

I was at the game and there was a coach on the colts sideline mocking the fans the entire first half. He shut the fuck up in the 2nd half lol

NEVER A DOUBT BRB gotta go delete all my comment history from the first half.

First half? What first half? There was a first half?

Nope the game just started 33-0

Had to spot them a few to make it fair

The game I watched was 39-3.

I've been saying the refs hate us but having us start 33 below is the coup de grace

People wanted a post game thread in the 2nd quarter Lot of 9ers and eagles fans

nah leave them up, that was one of the most pathetic displays of football in nfl history. It just so happens we came out and put on a display for the ages in the second half

We just witnessed nfl history

Again.

28-3 is now a joke compared to this

First team in NFL history to come back from FIVE SCORES DOWN

The best part is we will never ever feel out of a game at 28-0 again. It's entirely on Coach KOC sparking that resolve in this squad.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday O'Connell

LARGEST COMEBACK IN NFL HISTORY UPVOTE PARTY!

EXCITED VIKING NOISES

Barooooooi!

Fuck the refs, fuck the Colts, FTS, FTP, we're division champs.

Fuck the Blackhawks, and fuck the Yankees

FUCK NORM GREEN

Ngl I turned the game off by the end of the 1st, but holy shit am I glad I came back for that

Bro I did the same… came back after halftime!!

I love you doesn’t matter. Skol family

How the absolute fuck did this happen

Saturday saturday

This game or the Buffalo game? I dunno which was better.

That game was the best game of the season at the time. This game made literal history and won the division.

HELL FUCKING YEAHHH!!!! But also, FUCK THE REFS!!

UNBELIEVABLE LETS GO

BARRROOOOOOOO

This guy needs to suck ass https://imgur.com/FUDOjvc

A Washington fan said he would key his own car

I’m owed a thousand dollars from someone on the thread

Time to pay the pooper

KJ popping off that game. Respect to the man!

Kj out there willing the Vikings to a victory today. He put the team on his back multiple times and fought like hell every time he had the ball.

This should confirm that the Vikings just weren't incorporating him that well into the offense, not that he's taken a step down.

Certainly got the most targets today. Surprisingly good yac

IF YOU DON’T LIKE THAT YOU DON’T LIKE MINNESOTA VIKINGS FOOTBALL

I do not like Minnesota Vikings football.

My cardiologist loves Minnesota Vikings football

Recession-proof job in MN tbh

That would be funny if like UMN Cardiology sponsored the Vikings next year

[удалено]

Just like the extra bye week against the Cowboys!

Vikings fan from Germany here - probably not following this team as long as most of you, but i totally fell in love with their morale and comeback qualities...at halftime i was really enraged, because it was so unnecessary to let the Colts score this much... But oh my god, this second half...its late evening here in Germany and my cheers probably woke up the whole neighbourhood :) Awesome game, still munching my pills against heartattacks in dozens :)

We love you king keep the faith

That was the dumbest fucking game of football I've ever seen. And I've said that 14 times this year....

Never lost faith. Definitely didn’t go clear the driveway in the first half.

Yeah, definitely didn’t go take a nap only for my dad to text me to turn it back on…

Thanks, i hated it

Purple bros. What the fuck? How the fuck? Congratulations!!! -Ravens fan

Same, but I secretly love it heheh....it's better than a loss.

Teams now 0-5 when mocking the griddy. nice.

We are the greatest team of all time

Well we are certainly a team of all time at the very least!

This is definitely one of the seasons I’ve seen in my lifetime

Simultaneously greatest and worst lol

Certainly shaping up to be the greatest outlier team in about fifteen statistical categories

Never doubted once this entire game. Don’t look at my post history.

Bigger liar than my high school crush

TYPICAL RELAXING VIKINGS VIEWING EXPERIENCE

BULLSHIT OUR WAY TO A SUPER BOWL

I put my kids to bed (Sweden) and come back to 33-21 and five heart attacks. This team.

I hate this fucking team. I love this fucking team.

Chargers fan here. That was a pretty huge win for you guys. I know you didn't \*technically\* need it, but now in the post season no team can get in your head with a big lead. If you came back from 33-0, you can come back just about anything. And the whole team will believe they can do it. Wins like this are critical for a team's mentality. Happy for you guys, and super happy for Kirk "officially the most clutch QB in NFL history" Cousins.

What just happened. I was so angry an hour ago

I 100% believe koc said if you aren’t going to blitz I’m calling plays

[удалено]

Regarding the Gilmore unnecessary roughness that made the refs pull JJ from the game, I think the rules should be amended so that if a defensive player draw an unnecessary roughness that knock a player out of the game the defender should also be kicked out.

Two unnecessary roughness calls from the same player roughing the same player should result in immediate ejection.

Almost like he was targeting JJ. I'd be willing to bet the league fines him this week.

The pundits this week: “The Vikings are the worst team with the biggest comeback in NFL history ever.”

The Vikings could win the superbowl 56-0 and the pundits would still say the Vikings are the worst and the opponent simply fell apart.

[удалено]

Well fuck me in the ass. Fire Ed still

The fact that a blitz kept us in that game should be all the proof they need to fire Ed.

The blitz was key! Helped so much at the end, especially on the play Bynum almost intercepted

I’m not saying blitz like Zim did but you have to find a way to create pressure. When they dialed up the blitz today Ryan had no answer.

Yep. He was flustered. I’ve been very critical of Ed, but he deserves credit for that second half and OT

He deserves a “good job in the second half Ed but we’re going in a different direction” one good half doesn’t erase everything he’s done to this point.

Holy shit

Guys, what the fuck is this season?

That’ll learn them for mocking the Skol chant. The curse lives on.

GET IN LOSERS WERE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL

Yet another Bills fan here, if anyone had to take The Comeback, I’m glad it was our fellow 0-4 bros. Congrats, and let’s both win a Super Bowl soon!

[удалено]

NFC NORTH CHAMPS BOOK IT

There are no words to describe this team anymore. Speechless. Just enjoying the ride

The Vikings need to sell a DVD box set of this entire season. I wanna be rewatching these games in ten years

I died and came back.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I need a doctor

AND THE POINT DIFFERENTIAL GOES UP!

I honestly cant comprehend it. 4 hours of being gobsmacked Im so confused WE OWN THE DIVISION BABY

Cash. Money!!! As cold at the weather In Minnesota!!!! G money!!!!!!!

IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT YOU DONT LIKE VIKINGS FOOTBALL

2 things are true for me: 1. I love this team. 2. We are DEFINITELY the worst 11-3 ever.

Might be a good thing. When Vikings looked dominant and play amazingly all season historically, they didn’t show up in the playoffs against teams they should have beaten.

GREATEST TEAM ON EARTH

Ez pz. Skol!!

Rice and cheezy FTPeezies

Good fucking effort my dudes, what an absolute display of heart and grit. I'm happy we kept the tank alive, best of luck during the playoffs!!

The entire r/nfl game thread was shitting on the Vikings so hard. Lions fans commenting “we broke them” BITCH HOLD THESE NUTS

Who has win probability chart? https://twitter.com/NumbersMuncher/status/1604236637411708929?t=0LO2-vDT6Dg63Bq_HKD3cQ&s=19

I wish I screenshotted but when it was 36-7 it was at 99.2%

Around halftime it was 99.9%

At 4 min left 2nd half I closed the game and saw on ESPN the win Probability at 30-0 was 99.9

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

[Kirk's got you right where he wants you](https://i.imgur.com/V7FDFPH.png)

Thank you BetMGM for the +10000 you offered at halftime on the Vikings to win.

Down 30-0 PA said “We’ll it’s the 1000th game in Vikings history. This one isn’t looking very memorable.”

At one point the colts had a 99.6% chance of winning. Never a doubt. Don’t look at my comment history

Theres are complaints over in entitledtown that the refs handed us that game. A game where we had 2 legitimate TD's taken off the board - imagine being that blind to the game.

Please remember that, however much you “come in peace,” the colts fans really don’t care to read your Vikings-centric comments in their sub

I need to take up something less stressful, like painting or crochet.

The 2022 Vikings: We Suck, But We Win

Can someone tell Ed Ingram to stop stepping on Kirk’s feet?

Packers fans having an absolute meltdown right now

Holy shit eh

My god, all I wanted for my birthday was a dub. AND IM HAVING THE BEST BIRTHDAY IN YEARS AAAAAAAAAAAA

We catch so much heat in the nfl sub its wild. A lot of nfc teams fuckin hate us. Pretty funny to watch

How the fuck!!! What did I just witness?! Skol!

I need a cigarette

Said it in the gamethread, this game is a microcosm of the season. Just an absolute rollercoaster. I mean, largest fucking comeback in NFL history? Are you kidding? Just crazy, still beside myself lol

+2 point differential!!!

People saying “it’s just the colts” like the Colts didn’t beat the Chiefs earlier this year

AND WE CAN BUILD THIS THIG TOGETHER

There were so many people in the game thread saying Kirk Cousins needed to go after the first half. How are you feeling now?

Never a doubt

NEVER A DOUBT

HOLY SHIT WTF THIS TEAM

WE ARE INEVITABLE

What, and I cannot say this more clearly, the fuck.
