Nothing's Going to Stop us Now!

By Tyler Savage

The Vikings had a great opportunity the last two games--win and your in the playoffs. This is a scenario that usually gets fans excited; with the Viking's fans, this is not the case. I personally felt horrible about the Viking's chances against the Giants, and all the fans calling in on KFAN also felt the same way. Surprisingly, the Vikings won on Sunday, and they are going to the playoffs. So here is the point--if we want the Vikings to win, we have to have zero hope for them. If the hope train starts we are in big trouble. Here is what is likely going to happen:

1. The Vikings are going to kill the Eagles at home. Why? Because the hope has not started for the Vikings just yet. Fans are still timid, the Vikings have whispered that they loved us many times after screwing up, and we are sick of taking them back (I have already let them come back to my home after 3 late night bar calls). I honestly see the offense looking like a Juggernaut in this game and going for over 500 yards of total. The key to the hope train will be Tavaris Jackson going crazy in this game.

2. (option 1): This is the hard part, even with the huge win against the Eagles, the fans may not have much hope with the Vikings going on the road in the second round to face the Panthers. If this is the case, the Viks will roll over the Panthers.

(option 2): People get excited, and the real T.J. shows up. Hovan marches off the field and gets hit with chew (hey! how did he get back on the team?).

3. (if option 1 happens): The Vikings go into Giant Stadium 1 win away from the Super Bowl. Want to know what will happen: google 41-0 NFC Championship. If the Viks do make the Super Bowl, I could not tell you what will happen, I will then be back on the hope train and all hell will break loose.
