A little food for thought?

If we don't win next week or if the Vikings don't lose to the Bears or Giants, it means a hell of a lot.

I can digest the Dallas loss. We should have won, but we lost to a talented team (frequently underachieving) that was desperate to win and had heard all week how we were unbeatable.

Today is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT story. There is no excuse on Earth for losing AT HOME to a 2-12 team with the chance to clinch HFA on the line.

That is 2007-ish / 2008-ish of this team. This loss was BAD. And as I once heard, you can't polish a turd... This game was a turd.

Absolutely! I'm not trying to shine a light on this game... just the situation.

Though on my part, I thought you guys already had the first seed locked up. Since you don't, get pumped up!!!
For the first time this season, you really have your backs against the wall. Let's see them come out fighting!!!! 14-2 with first seed locked up!!!

This has to be one of the 3 or 4 worst losses in our history.

It is in the top 3 of the SP era for sure.

IMO

AAACTUALLY, Mythbusters proved that you can polish a turd.

I realize I'm being a jerk, but I do intend it to be jest.

Regardless, we're not done yet. We can still shock the world. I BELIEVE!
