[MasterPattie]

someone is jealous.

[MasterPattie]

someone is jealous.

Yes, I am very jealous...

...my team (the Lions) is headed to the playoffs. :o:o:o

[mnvikingstwins]

Yes, I am very jealous...

For what, a round or two?

[dthimesch]

LOL finally make the playoffs after 20 years and has to talk smack. your cool :)!

[MasterPattie]

For what, a round or two?

Hey, it beats being 3-13 :)!

[lambeauleap87]

I'd like to see him do it, but if he's still two sacks shy of breaking it, I'm not sure that's entirely likely.

[mnvikingstwins]

Hey, it beats being 3-13 :)!

Guess who gets the top tackle or receiver of the draft though while the Lions get not much, and all of a sudden the Vikings are better again.

[dthimesch]

He had 2.5 in basically the first half. he can get 2 more

[MasterPattie]

Call me crazy, but I'd rather be good already with good young talent then have to rebuild.

And the draft is always a crapshoot. There are always busts in the top 5.

Good luck with that. :D

[lambeauleap87]

He had 2.5 in basically the first half. he can get 2 more

I'm not saying he can't; I'm saying it's just not highly likely. Allen is a beast, but that'd be a crazy game.

I'm enjoying seeing Lions fans talk smack about not sucking, haha...enjoy it.

Hard to get a bust taking the top lineman in the draft and having him block for a good 10-15 years.

[MasterPattie]

What, you mean like Robert Gallery??? :o

sorry, one draft will not fix the vikings problems.

I know, what a tool. A thread is made about Jarred Allen and the sack record and apparently that means It is supposed to be about other teams not sucking after doing it for 20 years.

[mnvikingstwins]

sorry, one draft will not fix the vikings problems.

Doubt that. BTW, Jared has only one "R" ;)

[mnvikingstwins]

22 sacks! One more!!

[dthimesch]

1 more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Madbacker]

Go Get em' Jared. Strahan's record is such a farce, Favre falling down.

[CC_123]

1 more sack for Allen needed!!!! Jared Allen BETTER be the Defensive Player of the Year this season! How can't you be with what he has accomplished so far this season!

[mnvikingstwins]

Since the other thread got taken over by Packers/Lions morons, this must be the Vikings thread. If Ponder is still the starter and healthy next year and AP hurt, Joe Webb should be the starting RB with how many tackles he's breaking, and then always have the threat of a HB pass to Harvin.

[mnvikingstwins]

Joe Webb would be a beast at Madden with how you can run circles and still not get tackled.

[mnvikingstwins]

Line him up at MLB, triple teamed with Spaeth/Davis/Webb.

[dthimesch]

Line him up at MLB, triple teamed with Spaeth/Davis/Webb.

OMG the Bears are not going to just let him get the record. FREAKING TRIPLE TEAMING HIM!!

[mnvikingstwins]

OMG the Bears are not going to just let him get the record. FREAKING TRIPLE TEAM!

Must be because Mike Tice wants to get revenge

[lambeauleap87]

OMG the Bears are not going to just let him get the record. FREAKING TRIPLE TEAMING HIM!!

People keep talking about how Strahan didn't earn his record...so why would they let Allen get his? It's still a game, and triple-teaming him is a classless move in this situation...but still.

I wouldnt give up on Ponder yet, Webb has looked good, but can he do it long term?

[mnvikingstwins]

Well, no one can tackle him, so yes.

[dthimesch]

No I agree I want him to earn it unlike Strahan, but my God, as soon as he gets .5 away from tying, 1 from breaking, they decide to start triple teaming him! I hope he gets it big time now.

[mnvikingstwins]

No I agree I want him to earn it unlike Strahan, but my God, as soon as he gets .5 away from tying, 1 from breaking, they decide to start triple teaming him! I hope he gets it big time now.

If not, blame it on Erin Henderson for wrapping up McCown's legs to give Jared a half sack.

[mnvikingstwins]

If the Vikings win, probably going to be the first time in a long time if not ever that the Vikings, Twins, and Gophers football all win the last game of the season and all miss the postseason/bowls.

[dthimesch]

Except really the Gophers don't count. LOL

[mnvikingstwins]

Except really the Gophers don't count. LOL

Well it's an accomplishment for them :)!. I was at both the Twins and Gophers finales, but nothing for the Vikings.

[Army19K]

Well, no one can tackle him, so yes.

Yeah but that style of play will get him pounded on, how long until he gets hurt.

[mnvikingstwins]

Time for Allen, probably his last chance on this drive

[dthimesch]

Time for Allen, probably his last chance on this drive

HE may have one more but they are going to run the ball more now to take time off the clock :(

[dthimesch]

oooohhhh not if the Vikes Score! then the bears will be playing to win.

[mnvikingstwins]

And win they better, #3 is much better than #6 pick.

[dthimesch]

And win they better, #3 is much better than #6 pick.

I was afraid of ending up with the 6 pick after all this.

[mnvikingstwins]

No PI on Major there?

[lambeauleap87]

Not looking so good for Allen.

[mnvikingstwins]

Definitely not looking good right now. Need to Superman dive over the line on the QB before the handoff.

[mnvikingstwins]

Chances growing slimmer and slimmer.

[CC_123]

Yeah, not looking good for Jared Allen right now! Damn it!

[allday_vikes]

Hey, it beats being 3-13 :)!

Still better than 0-16 and only team to do it!!

[mnvikingstwins]

Going to need to get the ball back and score quick so the Bears need to score once more to win.

[MasterPattie]

Still better than 0-16 and only team to do it!!

That's in the past.

We're pretty good now...at least we're better than the Vikqueens :D

[lambeauleap87]

Thought he might've had it there, but it was just a nice fake...

[dthimesch]

not looking good. At this point I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of collusion for the record. :(

[mnvikingstwins]

not looking good. At this point I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of collusion for the record. :(

They should review every half sack and see if he deserved more.

[mnvikingstwins]

If Bears get the ball back, hopefully they let Allen get a free shot at McCown.

[dthimesch]

If Bears get the ball back, hopefully they let Allen get a free shot at McCown.

They won't let that happen :(

[ManInTheMirror]

ahhh nevermind.

[mnvikingstwins]

Go Rams go! Making a run against SF.

[dthimesch]

Go Rams go! Making a run against SF.

I was just going to come back and say that. Would be nice to see happen!

[ceaton]

I honestly wouldn't let Webb play for my high school team....the guy is terrible, lets admit it!

[dthimesch]

I honestly wouldn't let Webb play for my high school team....the guy is terrible, lets admit it!

Where's the "Like" Button :)

I hate to admit but Webb did look better than Ponder these last few games, but still I wouldn't mind seeing someone completely different than those 2.

[allday_vikes]

I honestly wouldn't let Webb play for my high school team....the guy is terrible, lets admit it!

I wouldn't let any of them O-lines play for my high school team more like it!!

[vikingsordie]

That's in the past.

We're pretty good now...at least we're better than the Vikqueens :D

Dude, a back-up QB just owned your defense....Funny how the worst Franchise in the history of the NFL finally has 1 season of a little success and their fans think they have bragging rights! Congrats on a good season, but Lions fans are the last who have any ground on which to talk smack!

[burke23]

Too bad Allen came up short - i still just listed a bunch of my slabbed rookies of his to see if the market is hot. Great season for what has been a disappointing team.

Well I don't think a loss to a 14-1 Green Bay team in Janurary on the road is a bad loss. That team is one of the most talented and deepest teams in recent memory.

And the Vikes have just as many Super Bowl wins as Detroit. :)!

At least the Lions have won a Championship, last I checked, the Vikings havent won squat.

[burke23]

Oh dear...you going to be like the Bears fans that count 'championships' from pre-WWII? If it ain't a Superbowl, no one cares outside of your teams fans. Trust me.

[Army19K]

Oh dear...you going to be like the Bears fans that count 'championships' from pre-WWII? If it ain't a Superbowl, no one cares outside of your teams fans. Trust me.

Well then the Vikings and Lions are all tied up at 0-0 lol.

[burke23]

Well then the Vikings and Lions are all tied up at 0-0 lol.

ha - don't I know it. I really am not sure I can raise my boys to be Vikes fans - seems cruel.

Lions were CLEARLY the better team this year, but you got a long way to go to be able to talk smack to any other team in the NFL...

Since the NFL/AFL merger in 1970:

Playoff Appearances: Lions 10, Vikings 24
Playoff Wins: Lions 1, Vikings 17
Total Wins: Lions 255, Vikings 373
Winning Seasons: Lions 11, Vikings 25
Division Titles: Lions 3, Vikings 16

Enough said, now go climb back under whatever rock you've been under.


Oh and the by the way....Jared Allen is a BEAST! Love the dude, and very disappointed he couldn't get 1 more!

[Chaddie84]

ha - don't I know it. I really am not sure I can raise my boys to be Vikes fans - seems cruel.

You shouldn't have too. The lease is up...

So, what you are saying is that the records should just be meaningless. It was classless when Favre took a dive for Strahan. That does not mean that someone else should be handed a record.

[MasterPattie]

The Vikes do have hot cheerleaders though...I will give you that:

It would have been nice seeing Allen get that final sack, but it just didn't work out. I don't blame the Bears for running or teaming up on JA as it's just good strategy. If the Vikings really wanted to give him a chance at another sack, they should have taken the lead and FORCED Chicago to pass.

Thank you for posting these stats. It is quite clear that the Lions have been a sad franchise with minimal success on any level. Until this year, I don't remember the last time Detroit has had a season sweep of the Vikings (or a win in the Metrodome for that matter). That said, they now have a young talented team which will likely by competitive for at least several years (if Stafford can stay healthy).

As immature as he is coming accross, I don't mind seeing the Detroit fan trolling. Let him have his day, as he is apparently entitled to it.

[Chiefs2011]

Still my favorite player in the NFL even after the Chiefs traded him. Simpley love the animal
