N/S Who do you love more in tonight’s Rams/Vikings wildcard game? (1 Viewer)

If I absolutely have to choose, I would go with the Vikings, whose fans have suffered enough, and if they win a Super Bowl, they'll do it before the Falcons, so there's that.

Since someone has to win this game I’m cheering for whichever sad sacks advance to lose by 200 points next week.

Now THAT is quite the find!

So a smattering of players from the 1993 season gathered for a poster that would be largely forgotten (certainly in comparison to the famous Dome Patrol poster in the late '80s). Shame 1993 basically marked the beginning of the end of the Patrol and of playoff runs with Mora. Wilson burnt us a time or two as a Viking QB (he had some good wheels on him, as well as an arm) but he was already a 12-year vet by the time he replaced Hebert. Was another case of a washed vet spending the tail end of his career with the Saints.

I have all of the Saints costacos posters. Dome Patrol, Bayou Bullet (Rueben Mayes), Search & Destroy (Pat Swilling), and Delta Force. I have a Ricky Williams Gold Rush but I don’t think it’s costacos. I heard about a poster that was a three musketeers poster with our QB room when Hebert the starter. I want to say it’s Hebert, Walsh and Mike Buck. I’d really like to find one.

He was mostly a backup so I thought signing him as a starter was a big mistake. He did have a couple nice games against us. I think he played part of that blowout playoff loss in 87. Our QB history before Brees was always cheap and stupid.

I have one of the "Swilling Strikes" posters (taken in front of the Dome like the Patrol poster). It's autographed, too, from when he appeared to sign posters at one of the car dealerships a late uncle of mine once worked.

Wa

Why is I want both teams swallowed up in a black hole along with Roger Goodell, not an option?

Was looking for the massive-meteor-hitting-the-stadium option myself.

I haven’t seen that one. This is the one I have

Don't care for either team. Hate em both. Moreso the Rams for obvious reasons.

That said, I think it's going to be a good game so I'll watch. At least one of them is definitely losing so we've got that going for us.

I hate both teams.

 

[The Unrest Cure]

I am praying for Armageddon or the 2nd Coming of Christ by 7 pm so that I am not forced to "choose" between these two evils.

Playoff Stafford > Regular season Stafford.

I want the Vikings to win on a horribly botched call just so I can watch the tens of rams fans scream and cry about being robbed while I spam reply with "lol just be better than the refs".

or the classic "it shouldn't come down to one play". WHAT??? two evenly matched teams in the NFC championship SHOULD be close. Like you're supposed to just steam roll one of the best teams in the league?

 

[Derek_B]

Yes, but at the end of the day that's one game. The Vikings crap has been endless - losing on MNF with the missed facemask on Reggie, The Minneapolis Meaningless Miracle, their TE pushing off in the end zone to win a game in OT. And NEVER forget it was the Vikings that really started the ball rolling with the "Bountygate" stuff and still using it as an excuse as to why we beat them in the 09 season.

I blame the league for the Rams in 2018, I blame the Vikings for being the Vikings.

That being said if the Vikings won on some obvious terrible call as another poster mentioned, I might find a good bit of irony and humor in it.

Thanks for reminding me. I will bask in their failure.

Don't have cable and the teams that I can watch are AFC and all of the teams I like are eliminated. I am done with football until the Superbowl so hopefully neither of these teams will be there.

"This isn't Detroit man. This is the Super Bowl" -- best sour grapes line in history.

The irony is --- look at Detroit now. I want the Vikings to win this week. And I want Detroit to win it all so Vikings fans with their superiority complex over Detroit have to wallow in them getting there first.

Still if the Vikings have to lose next week, I want them to lose to Detroit in an eerily similar way to their 2009 NFCCG loss to the Saints so maybe he can reuse that line. "This isn't Chicago man, this is the Super Bowl."
