***OFFICIAL*** Vikings vs Seahawks NFC Playoff Game Thread (1 Viewer)

[sho nuff]

I feel like I'm watching football squeezed in between endless commercials

They won't, cause its $$$, but something they need to fix.

All the talk was how the experience at home is good, its getting worse with game flow with all the commercials.

 

[Card Trader]

Doug Baldwin always seems to be wide open

 

[dschuler]

Love watching refs come running in to spot the ball in a straight line, then move when they get up to the ball

Thought the same thing. Not sure why we haven't gone computer chip in the ball, with electronic frackers on the field? It's 2016. I thought about that ten years ago. Get with it NFL.

We've still probably got 5-8 years until electronic frackers are in common use

That's stupid. The NFL is a billion dollar+ Industry, Apple can probably have a prototype ready in a couple weeks if asked.

It is used in soccer already

Yes and no. Used for goals but not offsides.

Tracker in the ball can't help for offsides, would have to put it in everyone's boots.

They have something similar that tracks how much each player runs. And they have lasers used for offsides but it's only used for TV

He's the Jason Witten of WRs

 

[ROCKET]

Cmon Russell, I'm counting on you in my playoff league

I can't believe there are people in this thread suggesting they should not be playing football in this weather. This is perfect football weather. I played in weather like this when I was 10, except we also had to deal with 6 inches of snow on the field, no heaters, and far less insulating clothing. I've never liked the term "####ification", but apparently it is very real.

 

[Billy Bats]

Need to start getting these plays off faster.

Been really bad so far, has that been an issue before?

 

[dirtyjay]

How is Lockett up for ROY? He has been for the better part and is a non factor in the most important game.

I think there is only one person. The weather is fine.

 

[sho nuff]

Zimmer needs to stay out a bit to get to Coughlin face.

 

[dschuler]

That delay of game might bail them out here... I hope not

 

[thatguy]

as long as they don't pretend that player safety is important. certainly not a safe environment to play, but i guess im not tough like you real men in here.

What is inherently dangerous about playing in the cold? You're reaching.

Frostbite

Hypothermia

Acute redness

Cold cheeks

Exhaled air becomes visible

 

[dschuler]

Long FG in this weather I would think

 

[The General]

Seahawks all kinds of messed up right now.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

7 yard pass on 4 and 13?

 

[dirtyjay]

4th and 13 and you throw under neath by 10 yards?

Bevell? His play calling is bad.

 

[LOCO]

hmmm try to kick the fg hawks. cmon.

 

[Billy Bats]

Wtf is going on?

Got ya. I wasn't paying attention to who was posting what. Just saw the long thread about how "inherently dangerous" this is... SMH

 

[snogger]

D is doing their part.. Now need a 5+ Minute TD drive from the Offense

 

[skol asylum]

Need a TD on this drive. Skol Vikes.

 

[Card Trader]

I understand going for it since a FG would be very tough from that distance in the cold, but if you are going to go for it take a shot or at least throw past the sticks

 

[Slapdash]

4th and 13 and you throw under neath by 10 yards?

Bevell? His play calling is bad.

Good thing his playing calling hasn't ever really cost the Hawks

Possibly chapped lips. Terrible really

 

[The General]

Hauschka has about 18 layers on. I'm sure he told Carroll his range before the game.

 

[sports_fan]

45 yard FG not even worth attempting?

 

[ROCKET]

WTF, 4th and 13 and you throw it underneath? You have to throw it closer to the sticks there or past them. Even if you throw an INT it's better than conceding the possession. Plays like that kill me, take a shot for Gods sake.

That's not play calling, that's all on the QB.

Yup. If they throw an INT around the Redzone Minnesota would be backed up and most likely run.

Yeah, real men get frostbitten and don't complain about it. Did you also used to walk uphill both ways to school in the snow and smoke cigarettes on airplanes and not have airbags in your car and build your schools with asbestos and die from polio and

 

[Billy Bats]

Would've been better than that play.

 

[Run It Up]

45 yard FG not even worth attempting?

Too cold, ball probably wouldn't make it to the goal posts.

 

[Johnny Rock]

Norv setting up a first down pass in the 4th Qtr by running on 1st down 20 times in a row.

 

[Rove!]

45 yard FG not even worth attempting?

They don't have any New England Patriot style pre heated and properly inflated footballs on hand?

You realize people actually live out in Minnesota right? They actually go outside in weather like this and do stuff. Grow a pair.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Should have been a penalty there

Yeah, but can you imagine having to worry about two sets of chapped lips?

No, none of that. Stick to hearting FF and leave the real football to the big boys... mmmkay pumpkin?

[skol asylum]

Ok how about a defensive score here?

 

[Slapdash]

Minny going to regret not scoring more this half

 

[Andy Dufresne]

With all the "It's so cold" angles they played in the pregame it's a wonder that didn't revisit all the times where guys got frostbite and hypothermia in cold games past.

Weird.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Pretty sure if you're OK with football being played in this kind of weather you're OK with segregated schools and internment camps.
