TNF- Vikings vs Cardinals

[RockThatBlue]

Game thread.

 

Should be a good game.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Good luck NFLFan, your Vikes are on.

[2006Coltsbestever]

That's a fumble.

[Gavin]

Easy call. His elbow was clearly down

[2006Coltsbestever]

Actually it wasn't a fumble, elbow was down. That was a good call. Vikes held them to 3 though.

I'll second that!

Peterson is a Beast! 100thTD in his career. Nice drive by the Vikes.

[ColtRider]

His last several runs were insane. Fakes & cuts are outstanding by AP.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Vikings played Toler Defense on that one. Bad.

[RockThatBlue]

Damn what a throw and TD. Glad I started John Brown tonight.

[Jules]

Cardinals remind me of the 2009 Saints. Great offense and sometimes shaky defense that thrives on turnovers.

This is a great game so far. Nice drive here by the Vikes. Only down 10-7. They should at least tie it up, could go up 14-10?

Yeah I am trying to go to bed since I have a bad cold but I am having trouble tearing myself away from this game.

That stinks. Nyquil time, that stuff always works. When I get sick V8 and Gatorade always helps too. Get some rest. 10-10 at Half.

Thanks guys. It's halftime; so I am taking a quick break from the TNF broadcast. I told a guy selling newspapers this morning that we were going to get annihilated tonight, as our defense is decimated. Our 3 best defensive players are out (Linval Joseph, Anthony Barr,  and Harrison Smith). All of our safeties were injured. One of the starting safeties tonight, Anthony Harris, rookie from Virginia,  has been on the practice squad the whole year. He was promoted this Monday or Tuesday.  I am pleased to see that the Vike are keeping the game close. They could still get killed the second half but I am more hopeful than I have been all week. 

Enjoy the second half.

Nice 1st Half. 10-10. Go Vikes!

[MB-ColtsFan]

I want Arian's Gatsby hat in Colt blue sooo bad.

[MB-ColtsFan]

lol on the pancke by Fitz.  That's embarrassing. 

[Synthetic]

The Cards are going to the SB this year, I'm totally bandwagonning it up for AZ to knock the Panthers out 

 

 

[RockThatBlue]

Hell of a game.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Like old times... Dwight Freeney strip sack fumble to win game.  Nice win Cardinals!

Vikes showed they are playoff worthy, too.

[RockThatBlue]

Freeney still has that nasty spin move.

[RockThatBlue]

I know its the past and Freeney was horrible against the run, but he'd be by far the best pass rusher on the colts if we found a way to keep him. He still has it.

I actually agree with you. I have a funny feeling Arizona is going to the SB. Palmer has to stay healthy though, so far he has. I am just not sold on Carolina. My pick was GB before the season but GB isn't going to get a Bye so if you ask me today I would say Arizona.

Yep. The Finisher, Freeney!

@NFLFan, sorry for the loss but you guys played them as well as you could. Turnovers are always costly! That is a tough loss. Good luck going forward.

They should have kicked the field goal on that 3rd down IMO. 

[Qwiz]

Tough loss for the Vikes, but nothing they should hang their head about. They played a very good Cardinals team close. I definitely think they could end up beating Green Bay and taking the NFC North.

I agree. I hate when the Colts lose games like that. When we lost to Carolina in OT I was really down for a few days because I felt like once we came back we just blew it at the end.

I just love that Cardinals team. They remind me of the 2009 Saints. People nitpick their defense and often slap the "Overrated" tag on them, but they did the same thing to the Saints. They play aggressive like we used to. 

That team is hungry for success, and if they win 1 more game, they'll reach first time ever, 12 wins. They have to win the SB this year. It would be great seeing a team that's never won anything finally win it.

That is going to be an interesting game when the Vikes take on GB. Vikes showed me a lot tonight even in defeat. Hey your team and mine have some huge games coming up. This will be fun!

They have a nice shot at winning it all. Arians is a Great Coach too.

The division is most likely over given GB plays Dallas at home this weekend which should be a win and one game lead and they still have the Vikes in GB before season's end. The way things are projecting the Vikes would be the 6th seed and have to go to GB for the WC round. That kind of stinks but who knows maybe they pull the upset.

Norv Turner was maddening last night. No reason to call that reverse from over mid-field when the game was 10-10. What a huge momentum shift. Sometimes he just gets too cute. Just hand the ball to AP!

I like them too. Palmer, Fitz, Arians. Just a great bunch of guys. They are a lot of fun to watch. I hope they keep winning and get the 2 seed as that should lock them up vs the Panthers with a trip to the SB on the line.

I thought it was ironic that the NFL zebras missed 2 critical face mask calls against both QBs in the second half.

Nice work Dwight Freeney! The old man can still be a game wrecker when he has to be.

No bias there from defeating New Orleans there recently eh Bogie? Just kidding buddy! Your offense still put up 1 heck of a slug fest vs Carolina man. It's just not the Saints year pal. Just like it's not really INDY's either.
