The Vikings obviously don't have a quarterback as talented as Matt Ryan, or an All-Pro receiver like Julio Jones, but both Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen have been awesome this year. They've come up clutch in so many third-down situations, and so has tight end Kyle Rudolph.

Although games like the Carolina game come to mind when both Diggs and Thielen sh*t the bed at the same time, as did the entire defense, so it can happen. The good news is, despite how bad everyone played that game, on the road, we still almost won. If we can avoid a complete bed sh*tting like that, I don't see why we can't win. Either way, I hope it's not a close game because my nerves couldn't take another nail biter so soon after the last one. Win or lose, I'm rooting for a 3 score game. 31-14, something like that.

We're long overdue for a 41-donut of our own. A no doubter like that would be awesome. 3 defensive/ST scores, a game where the backups get significant time and we don't have to reveal too much of the playbook, giving our AFC opponent less film to work with. Then Shurm can save his bag of tricks for the Bowl.

Yowzers, the 2003 Panthers are the only team that has won it's following playoff game after a walkoff TD. Not that there have been many.

1958 Colts     23-17 ot ... didn't have a next game
1977 Raiders   37-31 2ot .. lost next game at Denver        20-17 AFCCG
1989 Rams      19-13 ot ... lost next game at San Francisco 30-3  NFCCG
2000 Dolphins  23-17 ot ... lost next game at Baltimore     24-10 divisional
2003 Packers   33-27 ot ... lost next game at Philadelphia  20-17 divisional (ot)
2003 Panthers  29-23 2ot ... won next game at Philadelphia  14-3  NFCCG
2008 Chargers  23-17 ot ... lost next game at Pittsburgh    35-24 divisional
2009 Cardinals 51-45 ot ... lost next game at New Orleans   45-14 divisional

2015 Cardinals 26-20 ot ... lost next game at Carolina      49-15 NFCCG
2016 Patriots  34-28 ot ... didn't have a next game

All OT games.

Now lets look at regulation "walkoffs" (TD that gave them the lead with under a minute to play) ... that I can remember.

1967 Packers   21-17    ... won next game vs Oakland        33-14 Super Bowl <--- ice bowl
1972 Steelers  13-7     ... lost next game vs Miami         21-17 AFCCG      <--- immaculate reception
1974 Raiders   28-26    ... lost next game vs Pittsburgh    24-13 AFCCG      <--- sea of hands
1975 Cowboys   17-14    ... won next game vs L.A. Rams      37-7  NFCCG      <--- the push off
1981 49ers     28-27    ... won next game vs Cincinnati     26-21 Super Bowl <--- the "catch"
1988 49ers     20-16    ... didn't have a next game         20-16            <--- Montana to Taylor
1993 Packers   28-24    ... lost next game at Dallas        27-17 divisional <--- Favre to Sharpe
1998 49ers     30-27    ... lost next game at Atlanta       20-18 divisional <--- the Owens catch
1999 Titans    22-16    ... won next game at Indianapolis   19-16 divisional <--- the Wycheck lateral
2007 Giants    17-14    ... didn't have a next game                          <--- Eli to Burress
2008 Steelers  27-23    ... didn't have a next game                          <--- the Holmes catch
2011 49ers     36-32    ... lost next game at N.Y. Giants   20-17 NFCCG      <--- Smith to Davis
2011 Giants    21-17    ... didn't have a next game                          <--- Patriots let Bradshaw score
2017 Vikings   29-24    ... next game pending                                <--- Case to Diggs

In this category, which the Vikings belong in, teams are 4-5 in their next game. Which games am I forgetting?

it's really amazing how similar these 2 teams are.

i think the vikes have an edge at the skill positions.

the beagles have a significant edge at o-line.

both teams excel on 3rd down on both sides of the ball.

beagles having homefield is significant.

provided there is not a glaring turnover situation, i believe it will come down to which qb has the best day.

poise under pressure.

which qb will have the "IT" vibe?

It is #1 seed vs #2 seed. This should have been expected, but both teams have arrived at the game in unexpected ways.

Yeah, that was the only this season our receivers screwed up big time (though the Diggs "drop" that was picked off was on Keenum IMO). I'd write that one off as an outlier but I suppose it's possible that could happen again.

I don't think we're going to have our 41-0 game against the Eagles... I foresee a close game that is decided by one score in the final minute of play. (I bet that one team will choke the game away right at the end, but I don't know which team it'll be. Eagles also have a history of choking in the playoffs.)

Julio Jones. Ppffffffffffftttttt!! The guy was amazing for a game or two earlier this season. He has also disappeared for long stretches. I'll take Thielen and Diggs over ANY other WR pair in the league.

That's right. I wear deep purple glasses. Don't you dare try to reach for them......

yea, he hasn't had the greatest season, been battling ankle issues and Ryan has been consistently high on his passes. Fans down here in Atl can't figure what was wrong with these guys.
