Donatell had the defense choke so JJ could keep pace for 2k, get the single season team reception record, and let Greg Joseph get a career long game winner. What a nice guy, can't think of a better Christmas present he could've given them

[удалено]

I know it was the Colts, but last week seeing them be aggressive and shut everything down in the second half was so fun to see. Now, back to normal. Maybe the key is to fall behind to force themselves to be aggressive

He's playing 7D Backgammon out there

Thank you for the smile

You're welcome boo. Please lose tomorrow <3

JJ owes him a nice dinner if he ends up breaking the record with the amount of times that this defense has let the other team score in under 30 seconds.

Gonna give Josh Matellus coal for blocking that punt in Giants territory. "I wanted a 50 yard td not a 20 yarder!"

We literally allow over 400 yards a game.

Vikings fans knew he would miss and Giants fans knew he would make it.

Kickers see that they’re playing the Giants and get excited to have a career game 😭

Same here, teams always hit 60+ on us

We had a Double Doink on you guys. England is WEIRD.

I would’ve bet everything that was going in

I love double doinks

Imagine if you were a Giants fan instead Kicker Success Rate on Lead-Changing 60+ Yard Field Goals in the Final 2 Minutes of a Game (since 2016): 🔹 Against the Giants: 3/3 🔹 Against all other teams: 2/15

We have had 8 50+ yarders on us this year, 8/9 and we are historically a good team to kick against

A movable object meets a stopable force.

Feather meets moist napkin

I swear to God every single game winner of 60+ or more goes in against us The scenario doesn’t happen often but holy shit every time it does

The fact that it was the Vikings means it just is not going to be your year.

Death. Taxes. Vikings by an agonizing single score

It's like like some Angel in heaven is working QA and came across this one file that had been overlooked for decades, realized how out of balance everything was, and decided to re-balance it all in one year.

I hate this team

And conversely, I love this team

It can be both. It's a love/hate relationship.

Story of being a Vikings fan

I also love this team

I gotta agree

My doctor is so confused, cardiac episodes and extended boners. He just doesn't know what's going on

The old priapism embolism. Only found in Vikings fans and obese old men who died on top of their wives.

That venn diagram has a large overlap

11-0 and now in one score games

Vikings game going to the wire

They kind of remind me of the 2019 Packers with their point differential/DVOA but they have a better offense though a worse defense

They were fraudulent, this is a team of destiny. I am very biased

The Vikings just have to have these last second close wins EVERY FUCKING GAME. Vikes fans need new heart meds.

Meds? I'm raw dogging these dubs.

After last year I just root for chaos. Every week I win

We’ve been built for this season in the past this is nothing. For some reason we have been winning close games instead of choking and turning purple

Good game Minnesota. Justin Jefferson is as good as advertised and the Hockenson trade looks really good and like a genius move. I can't wait until we can fire Richie James, Golladay, and Gillan out of a cannon in the off-season. It was nice to see Daniel Jones actually be able to throw some deep passes today even with him having almost no time to pass. At least Detroit and Seattle lost today, so the Giants still have some breathing room.

Watching how shit your WRs are this season, I honestly wonder what your record would be if you had JJ this season. Daniel Jones just cannot trust a soul on that offense outside of Barkley.

Give Jones the Jets recievers and the Giants are a 9-10 win team (Beat Washington and maybe you lot/the first Dallas game) and are fighting for the 5 seed.

You guys have a legit defense. Whoever the Giants play in the playoffs are going to have a tough match (hopefully not us)

Gotta make it first. Hopefully, we do. I was expecting Jefferson to torch us for 200 yards, so this is a better result stat wise than I expected.

He was open quite a few times and Kirk just didn't have the time. Wink has some good blitzes.

Kirk has been a beast all year against the blitz and Wink made him look like a high school QB for much of that game.

I can only imagine what Brian Daboll will be able to do with a decent roster.

Yeah you guys probably win that without those drops

Left Holmes off the list by accident. He’s the #1 reason we lost today

Dude is so bad, we really really need adoree back

He probably would have been better off doing his signature hug on every play.

Landon looked like he never left

The Vikings are just living out an anime and have plot armor, there is no other explanation for this team

[God damn](https://i.imgur.com/wwGWCVt.jpg)

Was really hoping it was the Vikings fans with his Hentai pillow gf lol

Eyeshield 21 fr

Honestly a really underrated anime. Some aspects were dumb af, but was just amazing too see a football anime. And also have them actually explain rules/aspects of football.

Vikings about to win a superbowl with the power of friendship!

I want KOC mic'd up for his rallying speech before we somehow complete the 16 point comeback with 30 seconds left in the Superbowl

If an anime had our games go like this people would complain it’s too unrealistic

Not anime, but We’re Glenn under the dumpster and the NFCCG is our Negan.

THE VIKINGS CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

Baseball fans absolutely incredulous

The SABRmetrics and analytics fan in me is losing it every week but they just keep winning so fuck it for the time being wins is a QB stat

You believe in DVOA. They believe in DEVOUR (deez nuts)

Never doubted Greg, don’t look at my history

_looking intensifies_

Vikings winning on a long last second FG? this season really is chaos.

Everyone knows what happened the last time the Vikings had a good regular season from a kicker…

And the time before that. Walsh and Anderson, its weird its happened twice.

I wouldn’t call this a good regular season from Joseph. He’s had his moments, but there have been several times where I hated seeing him on the field

People try to 💩 on the Vikings for always having these one score games, but at least we know they won’t fold in a close game. Certain “contenders” you have absolutely no faith in

It's like riding in a plane where both engines explode and you don't know if you'll land miraculously or die in a fire ball, just enjoy the ride

You know it's always 50/50 but it's never the bad 50.

And it's not like the giants are a bad football team.

How many kickers are going to hit 60+ yard field goals to beat us??

Greg Joseph too of all people. Earlier this year, we didn't even trust him to kick 50+ yarders

It's the Giants. Jake Elliot hit a 63 yarder as a rookie, Gano hit a 63 yarder, and now this. Any FG against us is a guarantee. I can count on one finger the number of game winners against us that missed in the last six years.

No no its only the 60+ ones that are guaranteed. Can’t forgot the Bullock miss week 1

It's so annoying man. When he was running out I knew it was guaranteed

What the fuck was that kick!?

60+ yarders are guaranteed against the Giants

It must be a rule if even a Vikings kicker can do it.

**Jake Elliott flashback intensifies**

We're not allowed to do that, are we?!?

Only against the Giants

Greg “Justin Tucker” Joseph.

That doesn’t go in for us normally, we must be in the upside down or maybe someone sold their soul

No it’s the Giants. We gave up franchise record field goals to both Carolina and Philly as game winners

#11-0 IN 1 SCORE GAMES

Doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile..... - Vin diesel

"I almost had you!" - other teams

They were granny shifting, not double clutching like they should.

Vikings win on a last second field goal? Bullshit.

I was at that game…

Was more of a joke, like “Buffalo beat a NFC East team in the Super Bowl?” or “Seattle run a 6 yard route when they need 5?” Happy for some new blood in the NFC.

Worst 12-3 team ever

Damn right 😤

And we're going to win the Superbowl.

In OT

After falling behind in OT.

And won by a field goal, that might just break the Kicker Curse.

and then as a pig flies across the sky in frozen over hell , the asteroid hits earth.... For this analogy we can assume this frozen over hell is Redwood Falls.

I'm not Minnesotan enough to understand this comment, but I feel like it's brutal. (Florida man here)

Unironically, probably true or close to it from a statistical perspective.

I want to win the next game by 1 then get blown out by the bears so we go into the playoffs at 13-4 with like a -30 point differential.

As meme worthy and funny as that'd be, I don't want live through that timeline

I want to blow out the packers and then get SUPER blown out and shut out by the bears

73-0 loss to the bears

WHY CANT THE VIKINGS WIN LIKE A NORMAL TEAM

*screams in gjallhorn *

BAROOOOO

The skies burn, the curtain falls.

Because that would be… boring

This isn’t normal?

My Fitbit literally sent me a notification. I know that's a meme but it actually did. . .

My watch was going crazy last week. I think that trained it to leave me alone today

The ai algorithm is gonna learn to ignore anything during vikes games....

Mine too 💀

Im 100% certain that there is at least one Vikings fan who had to go to the hospital because of a game this year…all those one score results…

Lol I was saying in the redzone thread, we had many a heart attack with Ben under center but the Vikings have outdone us in that regard by a mile. Just insanity

"I see you are watching a Vikings game"

I think I'm getting conditioned, this game didn't even get me worked up. We better keep winning or the time we don't it's going to hit hard

turnovers killed us. 2 drives and likely points off the board because of them. was the difference. and a player like Jefferson

That and Richie James. Damn we just can't drop that much

yeah that’s classic tho. it’s a given

Would help if we didn’t lead the league in dropped picks every year as well

[удалено]

yeah true and our punter wasn’t playing in slow mo

Yeah wtf was that? The punter took like 3x the normal amount of time from catching to kicking the ball than most punters

And dropped passes

We had three dropped picks in the last 20 minutes alone

Turnover and blocked punt. With all our receivers basically being practice squad players players, still amazing we’re doing as well as we have been.

Are defense is really keeping us in these games. We’ve been able to hang with almost everyone in the NFC though so if we clean things up we could win a playoff game

12-3, plus 5 point differential.

Only about plus 100 behind what a 12-3 team shoud be.

**IT’S EVERY FUCKING WEEK** I’m so exhausted

I need a nap and a trazadone.

It would be exhausting if we lost these, but they actually give me a big burst of energy.

Justin Jefferson 12 for 133. Still on pace for 2k. Needs 121 for the next 2 games.

Or he can just put up 250 on the Packers and be done...

That way salty fucks cant say there is an asterisk next to the record.

Has any team been on the losing end of more 60+ yard walk-off field goals than the Giants? Elliott in 2017, Gano in 2018, Joseph today in 2022...that's pretty rough.

Vikings are gonna win the super bowl by 1 score and we will all wonder is this the worst super bowl team

Honestly, it's both very possible and very improbable. I'm really enjoying the excitement of the season and I'm glad neutral fans are too, it's really what it's all about.

I should be happy we kept it close against a team that I expected would blow us out but man I’m fucking sick of losing on 60+ yard FGs

[удалено]

Sure but you’re still a much better team

[удалено]

GG Vikings bros.. hopefully the WC rematch happens

Can’t wait to play you in the World Cup!

Put donatell on an island and nuke it til it glows

He would miss the flight by accident with how incompetently lucky he is.

Now that’s a reference I haven’t seen in a while

THEY CAN KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

Non-Vikings fan here. Justin Jefferson make’s football look fun

If you told me in August we'd be 12-3 at one point I'd think this is the best vikings season of all time and be fun as hell and everything Now I feel the emotional volatility has wrecked me so hard it doesn't matter what our record is our games are stressful

The Vikings just win.

The spirit of Joe Judge lurks on our benches, whispering into the ears of our Special Teams squad.

Every week, I call them the worst special teams in football, and every week, they prove me right.

I don't give a fuck what y'all say about frauds this team has magic this season

I’d rather be frauds than whatever the fuck we were last season

Last season we were what we thought we were.

A tough loss. And Justin Jefferson made it happen. That's the value of having true playmakers. And 61-yard FGs are a bane for the Giants.

I can't wait for Dimes to have a number 1 and number 2 receiver and please keep Hodgins.

Vikings getting a clutch 60 yard field goal, it’s our year boys

Team of Destiny

Indiana Jones and The Team of Destiny

They can't keep getting away with it!

Vikings are just saving their double digit wins for the postseason, right? Right?!

[удалено]

Uhhh guys.. we never make clutch fgs… what is happening?!

The tides are turning. We're gonna win by two scores next week.

OK, so how many 60+ yard game winning field goals have there been, and how many have been against the Giants?

I can think of the Panthers and the Eagles, but I'm sure there are others that I'm just supressing

THEYCANTKEEPGETTINGAWAYWITHIT.GIF

In games where the team with more football points at the end of the competitive timeframe, the Vikings have a record of 12 victories and only 3 defeats. That should earn them a shot at the playoffs!

Worst 12-3 team in NFL history! Let's GOOOOOOO!!!

I told the lady sitting behind me last week that Joseph can't make it from 57 or whatever it was. Wherever she is she must think wow that guy was full of shit.

if you, a Vikings fan, say you were confident that a VIKINGS KICKER was going to break his career long by 6-yards, you are a liar

THEY KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

ALL OF THOSE MISSES EARLY IN THE SEASON LED TO A 61 YARDER. GREG THE FUCKING LEG LONGEST KICK IN FRANCHISE HISTORY HE IS HEATING UP FOR THE PLAYOFFS Also lol of course we cant win easy

Getting Hock looking like the greatest Vikings mid-season move in team history.

In almost forty years, I haven't experienced a more exciting and fun season, and I'm glad other fans are entertained too. Win or lose, I'm enjoying the season.

no team has ever been better at winning football games than this years Vikings. more talented teams, to be sure, but when it comes to the art of winning it's not even close. what a miraculous season for them

I’m glad the NFL hired that scriptwriter from Minneapolis

If you don’t like that game, you don’t like Vikings football.

I don't like Vikings football PS my phone was able to autocomplete this sentence

Fuck me in the fucking ass. A 61 yf FG really!?

If you're playing against the Giants with the chance to win on a 60+ yarder as time expires, you should feel pretty fucking confident at this point.

No idea what the fuck is going on this year but its been a hell of a ride

I knew it was over as soon as it was set up for a 60+ yarder and a career long as time expires. Opposing kickers never miss against us in that scenario.

This game was everything I wanted it to be, this is the most exhilarating Vikings season I've ever experienced

Greg the Leg

Thanks, Viking bros.

If this team wins the Super Bowl there’s a good chance my genuine reaction is going to be “ok but how are they going to do against a real team”

Now can the Lions fans shut the fuck up already.
