I was at this game. That was the most depressing walk back to a car of my life.

[@JerseyNYC83]

rogerskolney How long did it take for you to warm up? I froze watching the horn break in half prior to the game.

[@SkolneyVikings]

@@JerseyNYC83 iirc it took about a half hour of my car heater going full blast

[@benjaminfarias9169]

I remember this game all to well. Not as good a feeling as beating the Packers in the 2014 NFC Championship. It felt like a game we should've lost but God gave us a break. I'm sorry Vikings fans. I can't even imagine how this feels given the Vikings playoff history. We shouldn't have won this game.

[@benjaminfarias9169]

My team would go on to the next round and give up like 30 points in the first half.

[@ryanrobertson7218]

EXTINCTION blob that’s not how football works. Vikings team did enough to win. He didn’t do his job.

[@badbooking3221]

@@ryanrobertson7218 quite on the contrary the rest of the Vikings team didn't do their job. Should have scored TD's. Blair had to make kicks on a chilly as hell and windy afternoon because of the red zone ineptitude. Football is a team sport, and its hard to pinpoint one guy's one error when the rest of the team sucked in their mission.

[@Bryanseas]

Bad Booking the point of a kicker is to have the luxury of not having to drive down field only kick down field. They wait until their offence puts all their effort in to get down field to go in position to get some kind of points. The kickers job is at the end of the drive go in and kick the ball. All those kicks wouldnt be happening if it werent for the offence taking them down field. They didnt need a touchdown they needed a field goal, they drove down field like they had to, sent in the kicker to do his job, score points when a drive ends, and he didnt do it.

[@nathaniellarson8]

@@bigmoinaz6363 now, with modern building techniques, football is an indoor/outdoor sport, so you're wrong. NDSU seems to be fine winning championships with an indoor stadium, so you're wrong. Cold weather might help you get to the SB, but it will never help you win. In fact, you will put yourself at a disadvantage if you have a team designed to play in cold weather because the SB is ALWAYS played in a warm city or a climate-controlled stadium.
