Seahawks at Vikings - NFC Wild Card Game

[English Patriot]

Lockett should be a patriot and Bill knows it

Somewhere, Scott Norwood just got chills...

Just so you guys are aware, putting the laces straight back to the kicker does not affect direction as much as distance. #MINvsSEA

It's really more of a mental distraction for the kicker to see that flash of white during his approach, like shouting at a golfer as he starts his swing.

Had a lot of respect for Minnesota coming in today. They could of tanked like Green Bay to avoid this game vs Seattle but didn't.

Pretty good season for them and something to build on. Kicker and holder failed although Walsh straight up kicked the turf before the ball on that shanks. He can't remain in Minnesota. That kick will never be forgotten by the fans there

Yeah sure Kam you didnt think an amazing kicker like Walsh could make a 27 yard chip shot, sure....

I always ask people who gush about AP what he has really accomplished as a RB in the NFL. They then cite his stats and other tangential things that don't matter in the long run. He fumbles at the most inopportune time.

I'm curious to know why the hate towards them? They are probably the only team who have not been sore losers after losing to the Patriots.

I don't hate them at all, I actually like them and will be the team I root to win if the Pats don't get to the Super Bowl.

Right before he kicked, I calmly said, "And what if he misses it."

Boom.

I just knew he would. Good lord.

Sadly I KNEW he was going to miss it, it just had that feeling.

That really sucks for MIN. Their D played well ALL game and a few unlucky things happen to unravel the game. That really sucks for that young team. But the bright side is they gained a world of experience today and should be so hungry to get back next season.

Minnesota just took the ball down the field and had Seattle beat. Saying that they didn't have the winning mindset is pure folly.

Kicker's part of the team right? Holder is part of the team right? Holder had enough time to spin the ball and get the laces in. Kicker let the pressure get the best of him. These things happen in isolated incidents just like individuals on the bengals team took it upon themselves to self destruct.

Discipline and that winning mindset needs to be extended as a whole.

Unbelievable! All three home teams have lost this weekend. Seattle is so lucky.

Better to be good and lucky...?

I dislike them, I don't hate them. I'd rather see another team represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. You can like them if you want.

 

[English Patriot]

I dont mind the Seahawks, they are a great football team like the Patriots but damn they are so lucky haha

 

[pheenix11]

Wonder if Mimny fans are having flashbacks to Gary Anderson in 1998.

Better to be good and lucky...?

Or as Peyton says, it's better to get lucky than to be good.

No, Jordan Richards has the unique intelligence and skills to be a mediocre safety in the Patriots system. That is a much more valuable use of a second round pick than a dynamic young returner/receiver like Lockett.

Superfecta.

Edit: this was in response to the person that asked what's after a trifecta. I quoted him but it didnt post correctly.

 

[English Patriot]

No way redskins lose this. They are a much better team and Cousins is amazingly playing better than Rodgers
