Everyone saw it but the refs
That's the Cousins everyone Knows
Fun seeing Diggs lose his cool. Man that guy is an emotional wreck.
Several Unsportsmanlike penalties on the queens ...thought they should have called one on Harry Smith for the late hit and a defenseless helmet to helmet on Kendricks.
And more help for the Queens from the officiating crew.
Refs trying like hell to get Vikes back into the ga.me. NFL Policy.
Huge win for us tonight. If we can win out, we now have Bears and Bills tie breakers over the bandwagon franchise.
I hate watching on-side kicks to this day .
Neither team looks to be in the same bandwidth as the Saints and Rams

Ditto!

Most average QB's do
Most average $90,000,000,000,000 QBs do, you mean. Mr INT threw 2 more. I hope our young CBs are watching this game and licking their chops.
$90 Trillion - - Perfect
He throws INT's at the worst time. Did it vs. Green Bay (taken away by refs), he did it last night, he did it in Washington.
He's an average QB. Just good enough to get you into the playoffs only to lose once you get there. Enjoy the Season Vike fans.

That's true but CHI seems more capable of getting there. They're still young with a lot of new pieces on both sides of the ball and coaches. Once everyone gets on the same page, they might have something there. MIN seems to have peaked.
The Vikings kind of mortgaged their future with Cousins. He hasn't played that many games with the Queens, but it's not looking good. Someone on ESPN radio compared him to Matt Stafford last night.
He's not that dynamic. I would call Cousins a "boring matt Stafford".
Viks have GBP, @NEP, @SEA.
And, MIA, DET, & CHI again.
At 5-4-1, they are staring straight into an 8-7-1 finish.
I admit the Vikings are better than the Packers right now. (Hey it happens, teams go up and down). What really has to be frustrating for Viking fans if after years of trying to catch up with the Packers, they finally do, Only to, almost immediately get passed by the Bears.
I wouldn't crow too loud. We may finish in the cellar.
MIN D is still very good but they seem to have the most trouble with the "new age" offenses, i.e. LAR, CHI, NO.
If you look at the Bears schedule, their challenge lies ahead. The Packers, got all of their warts, have a pretty winnable 6 remaining games. Their toughest stretch is behind them- 2 road games back to back in the farthest reaches of US geography and a Thursday game. Of the remaining actual road trips, only the Jets remain. Everything else is close (Chicago, Minneapolis)- like an hour flight max- or they’re at home.
Honestly, 6-0 is in their wheelhouse. It’s insane... but the division is still up for grabs. Bears have 2 coastal road trips let, albeit against different competition than the Packers (NYG & SF). But still, the data is out there that the travel has a distinct impact, and the Bears sure look to me like they’re playing over their heads. If MN gets that should-have-been pick 6 instead of the Bears getting a FG, that game last night is a loss.

No they're really not except in "record" which has been handed to them by the league & their officials.

Bears are a better team than the Vikings & they proved it over 60 minutes last night.
CHI has maybe 2 games left they "should" lose, LAR and maybe @ MIN. They should win the other games.
How anyone can see us winning 6 more games is beyond me.
Same with thinking GB is a better team than MIN, or even equal. Forget the records and the ref/NFL Viking fan excuses. My eyes see a clear difference between the two teams.
I'll give you the Vikings are a more cohesive TEAM right now, but I 100% guarantee you the Vikings are not "better". They should've lost to the Packers not tied - I refuse to give that up & if I had control of the record books I would be putting an asterisk next to that game in the Packer media guide, along with the Fail Mary. **** the NFL! & their manufacturing excitement by controlling games with their refs.
It's not just Packer games either - watch around the league. It's a terrible product
A loss next week in MN and our season is over in November. The need to run the table for a chance and it's doable. They've shown they can beat both MN and CHG, the other challenging game will be ATL.

Agreed. I thought even before the first regular seasons snap of this year that the Bears would emerge in 2019 as a contender. They've been better than I thought they would be this year.
If there is one thing that can give the Pack some hope for catching the Bears this year, it's that Trubisky still has a ways to go. I think he's a decent QB and has a chance to be really good someday, but I don't think he's there yet. He's a poor man's Favre, mobile with a really good arm, still throws it up for grabs way too much.
The Bears do have some "easy" road games, but as they found out vs. Miami sometimes even those "easy" games can be tougher on the road. The Giants and 49ers aren't very good, but they are competing and have enough tools to spring an upset on them in their home ball parks. Of course if the Pack doesn't take care of business AT Minnesota and AT Chicago, any hope of catching these teams is for naught.
I think a whole lot will be decided THIS weekend, first and foremost GB must win in Minn, that gives GB the tiebreaker there. Detroit always plays well on Thanksgiving, an upset over the Bears is very possible there.
Agreed, I was surprised the Lions beat Carolina. If they can do that, they can beat the Bears too.... that said the Lions have been shockingly bad at times, you just never know which Detroit team shows up.
Viking fans with buyers remorse on Rubie Chat. We tried to warn them.
Agreed, I was surprised the Lions beat Carolina.
If Carolina hadn't gone for two....
Of cousre the Panther kicker had missed an e tea point and a short field goal (the dome must be cursed for visiting kickers).
I don't see this White House level schit show at 1265 doing better than 8-7-1. I just don't. And I hate that.
so, don't look now but Mitch is out this week against the loins. never say die?
