NFC Championship Game: Vikings @ Eagles

Remember when the vikings scored that 1st td and did the olympic curling routine? good times.

So confused what the Vikings' defensive game plan was.

Yeah, lots of people who don't care about something keep posting about it.

God, this is what happens when the NFCCG is boring af.

Go Pats

With all due respect, in the last several games teams aren't running on the Patriots with success. However, they are passing on them (in the first halves anyway -- especially middle and those MF crossing routes). So unless you mean you are worried about Ajai and Blount wearing the Patriots down from catching passes, the concern clearly is the Eagles converting third downs through the air at too great a percentage (I'll be happy to see handoffs to A & B).

There seems to be a clear pattern: Game starts, Q1 and Q2 we seethe D be mostly too soft, O is too sluggish. As the game progresses the D gets stout and the O gets it done. So I'd say concern #1 is, does the pattern persist -- D gives up third down pass plays and O can't concert 3rd downs -- and is the hole it creates too deep to get out of?

I don't want the same pattern with these slow starts. Start fast for once.

Man, that INT by Keenum was so dreadful. Changed the whole game.

The Eagles are coming to play. Should be a great game. Philly has a great D with a very strong front 4. Could be very similar to the Jags game.

Does this happen in Boston?

Im pretty sure that our old friend Chris Long hit Keenum's arm while he threw the first INT.

More of a good Eagles play I think.

Why can't we get guys like that?
