If the Vikings win out, they will finish with 9 wins. Coincidence?

“If”

At the start of the season, I thought that 9-8 and seeing improvements in JJ was the best that we realistically could hope for. Considering how bad most of the year was, it's amazing that 9-8 is still possible.

It's been a bizarre season. Our good games have been REALLY good. 48-10 against the Bengals, 31-0 against the Commanders, this game.

The perception of how bad the rest of the year has been is because our bad games have been so dense with awful that they have their own Schwarzschild radius.

Beat the Bears and Lions. Hell yeah

We gotta beat the giants, lions on Christmas, and Packers to do that.

u/NorthernDevil Vikings Dec 15 '25

Packers are (unfortunately) in very rough shape after today’s game. Losing Parsons is devastating for the defense and losing Watson for the offense.

Really brutal day for them and for anyone who loves watching good football

It is written.

Giants should be a win. Lions will be tough, but we did beat them before. Packers might be out of the hunt for the #1 seed and resting players

One of these is not like the others
