I love the killer instinct, they have just put New Orleans on notice.

We are coming for you Aints!

This was enough to make me rethink giving up Football after the playoffs.

Kicking a FG to take the easy points would have been running up the score. They gave the Cowboys a chance to keep them from scoring and they didn’t get it done.

A team should be trying to score on every play, regardless of the score. If the lead is insurmountable, put in your backups to gain game experience.

I hate that “take a knee” crap.

I’m not sure what running up the score means, unless it means the cowboys were handed their arse on a platter. hehe It was a great game!

They of course don't mention how the Dallas defense went after Peterson’s legs in the previous two running plays before the touchdown...nor do they mention the kick to the head or knee to the chest that was administered on the play right before the touchdown.

IMO, the touchdown pass was retaliation for trying to hurt Peterson.

again...IMHO

If I don’t like the score to be run up, I try to stop the defense. This is the pros. This isn’t the Big 10, the best conference in college football (The SEC can talk to me when they play games in cold weather) vs Division 2.

The linebacker could have prevented the Vikings from running up the score by playing some defense. But, what should we expect from the “it’s not my fault” mentality.

The Dallas Crybabies did not throw in the towel or wave a white flag. They were still playing. The Vikings have every right to "run up the score" if they can. The Crybabies should have tried harder to stop them.

This is a far cry from the Vikings faking the kneeldown on the last play of the game and, instead, throwing the bomb, hoping to pad the final score.

I am hoping that Jerry Jones is upset about his team's embarrassing performance, too.

As a Green Bay Packers fan, though, I had rather hoped the dome would collapse during the game and take out both teams.

This is professional football. There is no such thing a "piling on." "Crush Them" should be the name of the game.

It’s amazing how quickly Brooking went from pre-game tough guy to late game whining crybaby.

They gave them the ball practically in the red zone. The funny thing is, I bet there is a correlation between people who think the Vikes were “running up the score like mean people” and being politically to the left. Equalization, spreading the wealth and so on...

I like that pic. If I was a coach and some hot-head came down the sideline yelling, I’d want Jared Allen right next to me.

I got on the Favre bandwagon during the Chicago game. 4th and goal, 2 seconds left. MN down by 7. Vikes need to score to send it to OT.

70,000 fans in Chicago, all screaming for Favre's head. He gets under center, camera zooms in for a closeup....

And Favre has a HUGE grin on his face. Sheer Bliss. Sez me, "This is why he came back. This is a guy doing exactly what he wants, right at this very second."

I climbed aboard the bandwagon, would love to see him go out with a win.

FWIW,He tossed a perfect strike into the endzone. Touchdown, Game goes to OT. (they later lost....)

It is NFL football — taking a knee is stupid! The Vikes sent a message they are in it to win which is how it should be when you play football.

It is a tough call who to root for but the Vikings win out every so slightly with having Adrian Peterson and Phill Loadholt from the Oklahoma Sooners although the Saints have Jamaal Brown and Garrett Hartley from the Sooners as well. It is hard to root against Hartley who my son had in his class he taught at OU.

Although seeing AD get a Super Bowl ring would be AWESOME so I am supporting the Vikes on Sunday. AD has a summer camp here in Norman for young kids. We see purple AD shirts in the stadium during game days ever since he went to the Vikings.

The Vikes have long been known for not having a killer instinct.

This is the playoffs.

They needed to do this.
