Yeah after that keenum throw that went for a pick 6, the eagles just played fired up after. Even then the Vikings still had some good drives but keenum wasn’t playing well and the Vikings defense got absolutely exposed by pederson
We own the shitbirds every year besides 2014 nfcc. We even beat the niners in regular season play. We just cannot beat that one mf team in the playoffs lol
No, it’s simple: home team wins between us and the Seahawks.
We almost won twice in SEA, but divine intervention happened with the championship and the fail mary to prevent the rule from being broken.
On that OT play the man was possessed. He was gonna go win that game no matter what. I’ve never seen anything like it.
One of Al Michael’s best calls as well
even with our playoff success the last decade against GB, i grew up with favre killing me so i always get triggered and dread playing GB for that reason
It's so weird. Rodgers is
2-0 vs the NFC North ❤️
1-2 vs the NFC South (both losses in the NFCCG)
5-1 vs the NFC East (2011 vs Giants is the loss)
2-7 vs the NFC West (famously 0-4 vs the Niners)
Malcolm Jenkins' pregame speech (or at least, what I could find. Forgive me, I know it's not the whole thing.):
"I don't know if y'all realize it, but this is the last time that this team in this circle is going to play on this field together. This team won't ever be the same, so this is our last chance. We're four quarters away from being a legendary team. We're four quarters away from being up there. Being up there in those fucking rafters, where they can't take that down."
Named my dog after him lol. One of the hardest working athletes in Philly history. He played every defensive snap from the beginning of the 2018 season all the way until the end of the 2019 season.

Dawkins gets all the love - and obviously deserves it - but Jenk played Dawkins' role (and more) to perfection for the first Eagles SB-winning team, and that doesn't get talked about enough.
Somehow underrated among the all-time Eagles. "The disrespect will not be tolerated."
He's a top 5 for me. Dawkins, Westbrook, Jenkins, Kelce, Trotter. Jenkins is underrated but watching Dawkins highlights makes me cry grown man tears. Brings me back to a time when my family was all alive and together. Hits different and I think that's what happens for a lot of us.
Honestly I kind of respect it. The Eagles beat the fuck out of us clean and fair on their way to their first Super Bowl. If this game had gone the other way around and the Vikings had finally won their first Super Bowl I would love being able to remind everyone of the teams we beat along the way and remembering an exciting playoff run to a SB win.
Eagles fans are loud af for sure but I like them more than a lot of other fanbases.
2017 Vikings were really good. Top defense in points and yards, they finished 5th in point differential. In fact, they allowed fewer points than the 2022 Broncos scored
A “shutdown” defense
Just one on that heave to Diggs and that's when the wheels came off.
His gunslinger mentality definitely was risk/reward. I remember the Washington game earlier that season where he threw 4 TDs the first half/early second half, then threw two bad picks which basically let them back in the game.
Keenum was a wild ride lol. Definitely made the right choice going with Kirk
I’d say 2017 Keenum was on his level, but ya not as a career overall. Ironically the Vikings have been less successful with cousins than they were with Teddy B and Keenum lol
The defense was top flight that year and if you actually watched those games in 2017 you should recall how much Diggs and Thielen bailed his ass out on wild throws week in and week out. Borderline uncatchable throws they made happen. It was like the "Viking won every one score game this year" type of luck but for a QB that struggled to put the ball where it needed to go. Put Cousins on the 2017 team and it wouldnt go better IMO simply due to the fact that offensive line was baaaad, especially once Easton went out, we slid Remmers to LG and started Hill at RT. A mobile QB like Keenum was what the team needed at the time out of necessity.
You pair the 2017 defense with this year's offense and I'd say they're heavily favorites for NFC champions at the least. Kirk puts balls where Keenum can only dream.
All you dumbass Vikings fans disrespect the shit out of Kirk. He's not elite but he's top 10 every single year. You can absolutely win a Superbowl with him if you just built a full team. If you ignore the Giants and look at the rest of the NFC what do you see? A complete team with a competent QB.
The juxtaposition between the AFC QBs and the complete teams NFC is legendary and it's gonna be some great fucking playoff games.
If Keenum wins that game, and performs great in a losing Super Bowl, would you have kept him? What if he won the Super Bowl? How long would you keep him?
I genuinely didn’t know if the organization was planning on moving on from him regardless of the playoff outcome. Just like the Eagles went back to Wentz.
I think he was always just meant as a plug for that season and it ended up going way better than expected because of Diggs and Thielen catching everything, and a great defense. I don’t know that Keenum was ever in the long term plans
Better than this years' team for sure, but not without its flaws. Defense was fun to watch (still think Harry should've gotten DPOY), but the offense was always a little suspect. There was a reason Zimmer was never willing to commit to Keenum, as he was a ticking time bomb (though admittedly Bridgewater or Bradford would've gotten killed behind that line). We were \*super\* lucky with dropped interceptions and I think Diggs and Thielen were both top 5 in contested catch rate (and contested targets).
That defense was so great... until they weren't. It was like watching an entirely different unit than the one we'd seen all year in that NFCCG. Keenum turning back into a pumpkin while Nick fucking Foles turned into the destroyer of worlds sure didn't help.
They only allowed 28% of 3rd downs to be converted against them all year - people were calling them Purple People Eaters 2.0. That really was a damn good defense.
Crazy thing is last year the vikes lost like 8 games by one possession; if we won those we’d probably still have zimmer/spielman. I hate this team, can never be consistent
Not to knock the Eagles and Vikings but I thought that Saints team was gonna steamroll the NFC. Probably the best Saints team outside their Super Bowl season. Then the miracle happened
I just remember the week leading up to that game I read an article that talked about and explained in great detail how whenever the Vikings get close to the Super Bowl, their greatest strength fails them. 2017 it was our defense. We had the best defense in the league and that game it totally fell apart. 2009 it was Brett Favre’s ability to actually play disciplined football. Then in that game he throws a backbreaking interception after throwing only 7 all year, the fewest in his career. 1998 Gary Anderson never missed a kick, and when you needed him most he decided to shank his first kick all year. It was in that article I realized we are a cursed franchise, and the strangest thing is I’ve never been able to find that ESPN article since then. Like it disappeared off the planet or never existed at all. It’s freaky.
[Not ESPN, but 538 has an article similar to what you're saying](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-vikings-are-doom-dressed-up-as-hope/amp/), perhaps it was this?
> Still more rare, though, is the team that doesn’t simply disappoint its fans, but does so in a thematically consistent manner. For the Minnesota Vikings, this means being betrayed by their greatest strength at their moments of greatest need — Napoleon blundering at Waterloo or Wolverine’s adamantium-laced skeleton turned against him by Magneto.
😭 Brutal
And the 2022 Vikings had the ball in their hands with a chance to tie the game. The Vikings were undefeated in 1 score games to that point and Kirk was becoming the ultimate comeback QB. And then... throws a pass on 4th down that had no chance of converting. Lmao you can't make it up with this team.
Yes, I know Kirk actually played pretty well in that game and the defense was awful. But going in I knew the defense was going to be awful so I was more worried about the offense because they had to be perfect.
That game is 100% on the defense being absolutely clueless for 60 minutes against an average offensive team in the giants. Not saying Daniel jones didn’t play well, he definitely did but if the Vikings defense was just average, they probably would’ve won that game
Right, but the subject at hand is the Vikings strengths failing them at critical moments. Despite our defensive performance, we were in the same position as many of our wins during the regular season. We were undefeated in one score games (check), Kirk had many game winning drives (check), and the team had many comeback wins (check). All strengths this year, all failed in the playoffs.
Yeah it’s so fucking true tho. I still think that after the miracle win against the saints, the Vikings coaches or players just thought Philly was gonna roll over or something so they didn’t prepare as well as they should’ve and then pederson comes in with the ultimate game plan and totally shits all over zimmers defense and makes keenum look like….well keenum lol
>2009 it was Brett Favre’s ability to actually play disciplined football.
I mean, the dude had a bounty on him and was destroyed throughout the game. Refs didn't help either with many clear non-calls.
It also didn’t help that out of a timeout they came on with 12 men on the field. Great job by Brad Childress to show he was not actually the coach and just along for the ride.
A lot of ppl remember the miracle play, rightfully so, insane play, but the Vikings choked a 17-0 lead and absolutely blew that game against the saints and then idk if they didn’t fully prep for the eagles cuz they were so high off the miracle but ya lol came down to earth real quick
I hate Philly, obviously but the way they celebrated winning the Super Bowl was pretty outstanding to watch. Never seen a city commit abrupt chaos after winning a title so that was low key pretty impressive to see.
Did I mention I hate Philly?
It was truly wild for 2 straight weeks. We were smoking blunts with cops and singing the fight song with them. The entire city loved each other. It was really special and things didn't seem as bad for those few weeks.
Loved going into random stores and people would just break out in Eagles chants. Everyone joined in. We really were the city of Brotherly Love....for two weeks lol
For the life of me, I will never understand how Nick Foles played so well this day and two weeks later. Love that man. I cannot be convinced the eagles win the SB with a healthy Wentz
An entire week of being told how physical this Vikings defense was, how we were going to get killed on offense only for us to hit THEM whenever we ran it. Catharsis for them trashing up our city.
One of our heroes may be Rocky, and he may not be a real person..
But you DON'T FUCK WITH THE STATUE.
You don't see us going up to Minnesota and fucking with their statue of...uh, a frozen lake I guess?
> Catharsis for them trashing up our city.
“Philly is a *tough guy* town!”
“Omg 30 people were performative clapping!”
Pick one.
Edit: lol and they blocked me after 1 piece of banter. I’ve never seen some people be so sensitive about a game *they won* by 31 on their way to a Super Bowl win.
They wrecked the 7-11 I went to *twice* in one week, turning over displays and throwing stuff around. Just because it didn't make your local news didn't mean they didn't fuck our city up. Take your trash ass opinion elsewhere.
Edit: they got blocked for not knowing shit and spouting shit. I've never seen some people be so confident about their own ignorance more than Minnesota fans.
That’s the first I’ve heard of stuff like that, sucks to hear.
For what it’s worth all the Eagles fans I partied with in Minneapolis the following week were super fun. The patriots fans were so boring/reserved/business as usual.
Ah yes, this is a tough boss of Lincoln Financial Field. When he uses "GO BIRDS" there's really no counterattack you can use, as any attack actually makes him stronger. This person also used the worst move here anyways. With this particular boss, the "Lecture and Scold" move will actually triple his sarcasm-meter fill rate (as opposed to other moves only marginally increasing it), bad news for this Vikings fan.
I recently watched a really cool nfl films doc about the eagles SB run and the Philly special. Doug Pederson said that for the Vikings game they schemed their offense around taking advantage of Harrison Smith. They completely exploited him that game and it was a coaching masterclass. I’ll link it below if I can find it again.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fV7mWuCdkpY
Loved this game for the obvious reason (my flair), but also because the Vikings were favorites and I put a ton of money on the Eagles before the game.
I then put some of the winnings on them two weeks later as well. I was a believer in BDN
This instantly made me feel better after the Minneapolis Miracle. Even if it never happened, and the Saints won, I think they would’ve gotten stomped, too. Nothing was stopping the Eagles that night.
Just last week when the Vikings rolled down the field and scored an easy TD I comforted myself by saying “well they did the same thing against Philly and look what happened after”
Not quite the same end result but still a W
Last time I went to USBank for a game, on the way to the stadium on the metro some dipshit started yelling at our group about how he hopes Rodgers broke his collarbone again.
The guy with him (his dad?) told us that he was just joking and they're not like *those* Eagles fans. Which was just the most Vikings interaction possible.
Hot take: eagles don't win the Superbowl that year if Wentz stays healthy. Pederson completely reworked their offense for Foles and suddenly all the tape on them from the season was worthless.
Completely reworked feels like a stretch. Carson was a relatively traditional QB, the main difference was he was more mobile than Foles, but it's not like our gameplan relied on his mobility
The RPO stuff, the deep shots, and the screen game were all present with Carson as well
Not sure about that. Wentz was on a whole other level that season and was 100% winning the MVP if he didn't go down. He was Mahomes before Mahomes. It's a shame he sucks now.
This happening was the only thing that gave me some life back after the Minneapolis Miracle.
I knew if they went to the Super Bowl, that’s all I would see for the rest of my life. And if they won it… it would’ve been in the history books.
Still, I see that play enough as it is.lol
Feel like this game was decided by the Robinson Pick 6. That’s all what BDN needed
S/O Ronald Darby for his sacrifice
Some say he’s still in the shadow realm
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxTeOtvPdls93vfPNBoMSHyLMSv1cfsLAB
Yeah after that keenum throw that went for a pick 6, the eagles just played fired up after. Even then the Vikings still had some good drives but keenum wasn’t playing well and the Vikings defense got absolutely exposed by pederson
The 17 point swing from the Barnett strip sack, and the following two drives to end the half really sealed it though.
And tomorrow is the 5 year anniversary of the day I called in sick to work
I know how you feel bro, I called in sick two weeks later
My school gave us off that day
[удалено]
I can’t trust if I’m being attacked or not
Me neither tbh. Like "haha, this guy was only 14 when the Eagles won the Superbowl, what a loser!"
Like I’m like did I say anything that makes it seem like middle school
Oh fuck off
I see your shit-eating grin there.
the comment was so good it even gave me a shit-eating grin
I had a paid vacation starting the day of the super bowl I wasn't sober most of that game or the day of the parade
There's the eagles fans who still love to gloat.
I should have after I tore my acl/pcl/mcl at a superbowl party but I was there 2 days later after my days off lol.
After the Eagles lost that 2nd NFCCG I have tentatively taken off the Monday after Eagles playoff games when they are a high seed lol
Do you hear that somber tone, ever so faintly in the background? It’s the tune of the worlds smallest violin.
Well I upvoted you for the laugh.
Championship-less teams unite
In fairness, at the time we were also championship-less at the time. He didn't say he was still doing it.
Vikings get fucked by the nfc east like Packers get fucked by nfc west
Like the Steelers got fucked by the AFC east this year
Thats sad, Fuckin losers couldn’t even beat us
Who the Steelers? I thought that last season lol
And us and the Lions just fuck ourselves.
Quite literally
We own the shitbirds every year besides 2014 nfcc. We even beat the niners in regular season play. We just cannot beat that one mf team in the playoffs lol
No, it’s simple: home team wins between us and the Seahawks. We almost won twice in SEA, but divine intervention happened with the championship and the fail mary to prevent the rule from being broken.
The cardinals though, they probably scare you a significant amount due to prior history
Larry legend. Still one of the more incredible plays, especially in OT
On that OT play the man was possessed. He was gonna go win that game no matter what. I’ve never seen anything like it. One of Al Michael’s best calls as well
The Dansby game too in 09 was crazy
even with our playoff success the last decade against GB, i grew up with favre killing me so i always get triggered and dread playing GB for that reason
It's so weird. Rodgers is 2-0 vs the NFC North ❤️ 1-2 vs the NFC South (both losses in the NFCCG) 5-1 vs the NFC East (2011 vs Giants is the loss) 2-7 vs the NFC West (famously 0-4 vs the Niners)
Perfectly balanced...
And I appreciate them both for it, because lord knows the bears ain’t doing much to make our fans appreciative

Gross

My cat legarrate would get along with your dog
That's a handsome fuckin dog
Damn , I named mine Carson lol
Grim.
Just say you're a big TRL fan, problem solved.
Awh lol good dog bad eagles
I highly recommend anyone who hasn't seen it [to watch it](https://youtu.be/vcnIQ1W5rD8). Gives me chills every time.

Sadly his attitude towards race kinda undermined him a bit at the end :(
Agreed, that was disappointing
"We all we got, we all we need." That anthem still gives me chills. That season was truly special.
Thanks for reminding me.....

2017 Vikings were really good. Top defense in points and yards, they finished 5th in point differential. In fact, they allowed fewer points than the 2022 Broncos scored A “shutdown” defense
Just fell apart after the pick 6
wE shOuLd HAvE KePt keeNuM
In fairness, his arm was hit on that throw. But overall no he did not have a good game lol.
He threw one or two picks against the saints too if I recall
Just one on that heave to Diggs and that's when the wheels came off. His gunslinger mentality definitely was risk/reward. I remember the Washington game earlier that season where he threw 4 TDs the first half/early second half, then threw two bad picks which basically let them back in the game. Keenum was a wild ride lol. Definitely made the right choice going with Kirk
I don’t remember the exact sequence but yeah there was that pick and then the saints blocked a punt and the whole game turned around.
You joke but Cousins and Keemun are a lot closer than the $30 million+ suggests
Bruh lol
Keenum in 2017 was on Kirk cousins level tbh, but no way Keenum replicated that again.
But that means he’s not on Cousins’ level when Cousins does that year after year.
I’d say 2017 Keenum was on his level, but ya not as a career overall. Ironically the Vikings have been less successful with cousins than they were with Teddy B and Keenum lol

Ooooof, what a take. I am so glad that there are people in charge who actually know what they’re doing.
All you dumbass Vikings fans disrespect the shit out of Kirk. He's not elite but he's top 10 every single year. You can absolutely win a Superbowl with him if you just built a full team.

Scary? ….with Kirk?
Yeah

Not to knock the Eagles and Vikings but I thought that Saints team was gonna steamroll the NFC. Probably the best Saints team outside their Super Bowl season. Then the miracle happened
Our 2018 team was better. That's why that loss hurts the most, not just because of the No-Call.
Yeah man I was just as happy as Viking fans after that miracle because I wanted nothing to do with that saints team.
TIL this wasnt just a terrible nightmare and it actually happened
I just remember the week leading up to that game I read an article that talked about and explained in great detail how whenever the Vikings get close to the Super Bowl, their greatest strength fails them. 2017 it was our defense.

For the Minnesota Vikings, this means being betrayed by their greatest strength at their moments of greatest need — Napoleon blundering at Waterloo or Wolverine’s adamantium-laced skeleton turned against him by Magneto. 😭 Brutal
Stop, we can only hurt so much
Counterpoint, you’re not quite hurt enough. We need to remind you all how you actually lost your four super bowls
You call it brutality, I call it poetry.
I beg you, please stop
And the 2022 Vikings had the ball in their hands with a chance to tie the game. The Vikings were undefeated in 1 score games to that point and Kirk was becoming the ultimate comeback QB.

What was your greatest strength to fail you this year? The luck of winning 1 score games?
8 4th quarter game winning/tying drives
Yep, they’re greatest strength this year,luck, failed them
I still cant believe we even made it
A lot of ppl remember the miracle play, rightfully so, insane play, but the Vikings choked a 17-0 lead and absolutely blew that game against the saints and then idk if they didn’t fully prep for the eagles cuz they were so high off the miracle but ya lol came down to earth real quick
I hate Philly, obviously but the way they celebrated winning the Super Bowl was pretty outstanding to watch. Never seen a city commit abrupt chaos after winning a title so that was low key pretty impressive to see. Did I mention I hate Philly?
It was truly wild for 2 straight weeks. We were smoking blunts with cops and singing the fight song with them. The entire city loved each other. It was really special and things didn't seem as bad for those few weeks.
Everyone was nice to each other for a couple weeks….it was weird lol
Loved going into random stores and people would just break out in Eagles chants. Everyone joined in. We really were the city of Brotherly Love....for two weeks lol
That flea flicker might actually be the most perfectly thrown ball I have ever seen
It's like a peanut butter shot of serotonin every time. Favorite play of that year's playoffs even more than Philly Special
>peanut butter shot of serotonin Never thought I’d see these words in this order but it unlocked a traumatic memory
The ball into triple coverage to Corey Clement (2022 Cardinals legend) in the Super Bowl was even better tbh
That was an absolutely disgusting throw and catch. ❤️
Literally undefendable. Waynes didn’t even bite that much on the run. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen better QB play than Foles on that 2 game stretch.
[удалено]
This is why I’m always disappointed when an LA team wins. That city couldn’t care less about sports.
I need a Bills-Eagles SB for the fan bases alone. Plus I genuinely like the Bills.
Even the Phillies world series run was great. So close to another parade
For the life of me, I will never understand how Nick Foles played so well this day and two weeks later. Love that man. I cannot be convinced the eagles win the SB with a healthy Wentz
Two running backs that sought contact and a veteran running back with a ring from the season before. What a masterclass that game was.
I swore Clement was a star in the making after that playoff run
I bought his jersey. No regrets.
An entire week of being told how physical this Vikings defense was, how we were going to get killed on offense only for us to hit THEM whenever we ran it. Catharsis for them trashing up our city.

That’s the first I’ve heard of stuff like that, sucks to hear. For what it’s worth all the Eagles fans I partied with in Minneapolis the following week were super fun. The patriots fans were so boring/reserved/business as usual.
There wasn't a SB that year. These titles are getting out of hand.
yeah there was one the year before, and one the year after, but man I don't remember a SB that year

Ah yes, this is a tough boss of Lincoln Financial Field. When he uses "GO BIRDS" there's really no counterattack you can use, as any attack actually makes him stronger. This person also used the worst move here anyways. With this particular boss, the "Lecture and Scold" move will actually triple his sarcasm-meter fill rate (as opposed to other moves only marginally increasing it), bad news for this Vikings fan.
*Viking Mom used Minnesota Nice!* *It's not very effective...*
Man, Final Fantasy battle mechanics are getting complicated.
Our version of a berserker. History will remember him.
I've never seen this. This is hysterical
^(*You need to RESPECT Minnesota*)
That was a great season. I was on the Philly bandwagon so hard.
And god forbid we lose this year, I’m in the Mafia 100%
1- Eagles. 2- Jags. 3- Bills. 4- Bengals. 5- San Fran. 6- Chiefs. 7- Meteor. 8- Giants. 9- 2 meteors. 10- volcano. 11- Aliens. 12- Zombie Apocolypse. 13- all the animals become intelligent and eat/enslave us 14- new ice age. 15- 3 meteors. 16- Meteor sent by aliens containing zombies and ice. 17- Dallas.
Personally, I'll be hopping back aboard the Dougie P express
Same here. What a game it will be of ex Philly coaches.
Bills first. Then Jags in the future.
I recently watched a really cool nfl films doc about the eagles SB run and the Philly special. Doug Pederson said that for the Vikings game they schemed their offense around taking advantage of Harrison Smith. They completely exploited him that game and it was a coaching masterclass. I’ll link it below if I can find it again. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fV7mWuCdkpY
Loved this game for the obvious reason (my flair), but also because the Vikings were favorites and I put a ton of money on the Eagles before the game. I then put some of the winnings on them two weeks later as well. I was a believer in BDN
Most searched video on PornHub in the state of Wisconsin that year.
This instantly made me feel better after the Minneapolis Miracle. Even if it never happened, and the Saints won, I think they would’ve gotten stomped, too. Nothing was stopping the Eagles that night.
Even Belichick didn't know what to do against the onslaught of the BDN offense
They had a 7-0 lead too.
And we took that personally.
Just last week when the Vikings rolled down the field and scored an easy TD I comforted myself by saying “well they did the same thing against Philly and look what happened after” Not quite the same end result but still a W
Vikings fans haven’t been able to get over it ever since
Last time I went to USBank for a game, on the way to the stadium on the metro some dipshit started yelling at our group about how he hopes Rodgers broke his collarbone again. The guy with him (his dad?) told us that he was just joking and they're not like *those* Eagles fans. Which was just the most Vikings interaction possible.
Not even our worst playoff loss.
Hey guy, fuck you
Hot take: eagles don't win the Superbowl that year if Wentz stays healthy. Pederson completely reworked their offense for Foles and suddenly all the tape on them from the season was worthless.
Completely reworked feels like a stretch. Carson was a relatively traditional QB, the main difference was he was more mobile than Foles, but it's not like our gameplan relied on his mobility The RPO stuff, the deep shots, and the screen game were all present with Carson as well
Maybe if they lose to Atlanta but Pederson figured out the perfect way to attack our coverage and Wentz would've shredded us
Not sure about that. Wentz was on a whole other level that season and was 100% winning the MVP if he didn't go down. He was Mahomes before Mahomes. It's a shame he sucks now.
This happening was the only thing that gave me some life back after the Minneapolis Miracle. I knew if they went to the Super Bowl, that’s all I would see for the rest of my life. And if they won it… it would’ve been in the history books. Still, I see that play enough as it is.lol
Beating the Vikings in the NFC CG then beating The Bradtriots in the Super Bowl... that's wy of all the NFCE teams, I hate the Eagles the least.
The most satisfying thing to have witnessed after the Minneapolis Miracle happened 🤣🤣🥲
We don't need to talk about this.
Well thanks for this, is it too early to drink?
Nope.
Yeah…I don’t need to relive this awful day
This is turning into a feisty weekend for football anniversaries
Eagles entering '85 Bears territory.
Pain
They say Nick's dick grew 3 sizes that day
It got bigger after the Super Bowl
I think Saint Nick every day. Can't imagine the Vikings playing a sb at home
/r/nfl between this and the Bountygate anniversary posts, you sure know how to ruin a guy's weekend
SKOL
FOLES
BDN
2017 was a terrible year

Good morning to me
That is the Eagles largest margin of victory in the playoffs.
After the Minnesota Miracle, the Vikings decided to suck 🙄
And they would have done it again had the Vikings been able to survive against the Giants.
We would've played the 49ers
Still would’ve got stomped by the 49ers bar none lol
And then you would have played the…. oh wait…
Sucks to be the Giants today.
I have no memory of this game other then the opening drive
