  1. Geno is #19 in QBR against pressure, so he's not good when he's pressured. the Vikings could make it really bad for him. GB was able to get him rushing 4, and the Vikings' front is better.

  2. "Thank the Seahawks for losing to Green Bay"
    Why am I listening to this guy? Oh, right. I hit pause, there, and turned him off.
    The Vikings just needed to win one more game to be guaranteed a playoff position, which they did on Monday night. They didn't need the Packers to beat the Seahawks.
    And "The Vikings have less to play for than the Seahawks?" Are you kidding me? The Seahawks are trying to get into the postseason just to get there; they don't really have any expectations of their team at this point. Some diehard fans no doubt do, but for the most part, this is a fairly weak Seahawks team. The Vikings, on the other hand, are playing for the 1-seed, which can make or break the postseason for them and give them a springboard for getting into the Super Bowl for the first time in 48 years. The 1-seed is a far bigger deal than the 7-seed, for every team and every fanbase.

  3. You said "The Vikings are already in thanks to the Seahawks". Not totally true. The Vikings' Monday night win would have also clinched a playoff spot. But more importantly, the Vikings can win out these last 3 games and receive the first round bye and home field throughout the playoffs. So they have plenty to play for.

  4. People keep talking about the the Vikings O-line isn't playoff caliber and they don't have the extra something to take them over the top…but seem to forget that a lot of the time, it's not offense that's the X-factor, but defense instead that wins championships.

    The Vikings D is sneaky good, and I feel like consistently slept on.
