The Minnesota Vikings will play the Eagles in the first round of the playoffs. The game will be at home for the vikings. Many still are not showing much love to the vikings. Giving them little to no chance to win the game.
I will say this if our defence plays as bad as they did against the NY Giants then no we don't have a chance, The defence played there worst game by far in the last regular season game. They could not stop the run or defend the pass.
I do think we can move the ball against the eagles however we will have to take more then one shot down the field. If we become a run and dink and dunk pass team the eagles will have an easy time stopping our offense.
I think the game could be tied if both teams show up. The vikings will need to have a great week of practice. That will also have to carry in to the game.

The vikings use the front door or the back door?
The Minnesota Vikings had two choices to enter the playoffs today. They could either walk in the front door with a win today or they could get in the back door if they were to loose today. If the Chicago bears lost and the Vikings lost then the Vikings would be in.
Today's opponent for the Vikings was the defending super bowl champions the New York Giants. It was a home game for the vikings and one other good thing going for the vikings is the giants don't play very well against them as of late.
The game provide to be an exciting one. As both teams went back and forth at the half the vikings were up 10-9. Early the the vikings defense was able to stop the giants offense that did not hold true the whole game however. About mid way into the 2nd quarter the giants seemed to be building the momentum. The vikings defense went soft and could not stop them most of the rest of the game.
In the send half it had seemed to be all giants as they came out and got a touchdown and now lead by a 16-10 score. The vikings then marched all the way down to 6 yard like of the giants were Jackson then tossed an interception. That lead to a field goal for the giants and at the end or three quarters of play then lead 19-10.
This putting the vikings back against the wall to control there own destiny. The vikings came out strong and marched down to get a touch down this pulled them with in 2 at 19-17. It was now or never for the defence to make a stand with the game clock ticking against the vikings. The giants took the ball and went down the field on the vikings. Two huge plays stopped there drive. This leaving the giants with a field goal try they missed.
The vikings took over and marched down the filed to put them self's in field goal range. Now it our turn to try to win the game with just 4 seconds left. Ryan Longwell would have it hit a 51 yard try. Well he did and we walked in to the playoffs with a 20-19 win.
Yes we used the front door.
