Kirk Cousins threw for 417 yards in the second half.

He's the first player since at least 1991 to throw for 400+ yards AFTER halftime pic.twitter.com/xzHpJxe2UG

All this and nobody is talking about the throw of the day?  Apparently it didn't make the broadcast,  but somebody bombed a paper airplane from the vicinity of section 315 and missed putting it in the colts punters ear hole about 1 second before he booted one of his punts.  After the play the kicker ran onto the field and retrieved the airplane and the colts special teams group and coach had a meeting reviewing the design of the damn plane....one of the funniest things I've seen at a game since watching jerruh lose his shit during the 09 playoff trashing of the gurls.

Hahaha, that also happened to coincide with the start of the comeback!

Well, to be fair, the end product is 10-4 at worst at the end of week 15 in the first year.

Teams are now 2-103 when trailing by 20+ at half time.

the 2 wins, are by Kirk Cousins. pic.twitter.com/sRGHV8syoe

Its just never enough for some, Mike. It's weird.

Just skimmed through. LOL. Pathetic; Twitter was the same. Sometimes it's just not our day. Doesn't mean the organization and all their facilities should be burned to the ground. Some of y'all need therapy. 

Most of the Colts early points were not earned. When it was 33-0 I told my son the Vikings would come back and make a game of it. Win? Probably not. But even I stopped believing after the unsuccessful opening drive of the 2nd half. That was the clincher. You spent 20 minutes in the locker room and this is what you came up with? They had to have that. Didn't get it. It's over...

Glad I kept watching.

That happened right in front of us,  and let me tell you it was much closer to hitting him than that angle made jt look like.  The crazy part was the section that was thrown from,  was closer to the endzone on the colts side ( to my upper left)  and I first saw it to my upper right about 1 section closer to mid field and it just seemed to be locked onto that punters head.

I know where it came from as we had a fellow poster in that section and he texted me where they were coming from.  Apparently someone up there had one make the Vikings sideline as well so thats pretty impressive.

Final: #Vikings 39, Colts 36 (OT).

The biggest comeback in NFL history just happened at U.S. Bank Stadium. It was 33-0 at half. Teams who trailed by 30 were 1-1,548-1 since 1930. The 11-3 Vikings are NFC North champions.

You know I have to ask: How's everyone feeling?

I am glad they won,  and that comeback was epic and I will never forgetting being at that game,  but honestly I thought it was pretty pathetic for a 10-3 team looking to lock up their division to come out and spot the opposing team (that has likely already started cleaning out their lockers and making their offseason travel arrangements) 30 damn points, at home.  And as much as I was pissed st the Donatels D,  the wonder kids decision making and  O was just as culpable for that pathetic first half.

I called that fake punt,  teams tend to get gimmicky when shits going off the rails and that just screamed that a desperation attempt was coming.  And the location was  dumb as hell,  the most likely outcome is an incomplete pass,  and doing so gave colts the ball in field goal range without having to gain a yard,  so essentially the most likely outcome was to give the colts 3 free points.   Not to mention their kick rush had just blown up our protection on the previous punt so they had momentum from that.   Hated the call in that instance. 

Oh and Gilmore should have gotten ejected,  somebody needs to put a fucking crack block on that asshole and set him down.  Absolute cheap shot fuckwad of a player.

Yeah I know @JimmyinSD the first half was brutal. But to be able to dig deep and chip away was amazing. Yes they shot themselves in the foot and dug the hole but they got themselves out. The fake punt sucked and Gilmore is a POS. Losing 2 legit tds pissed me off. The adjustments at half time were key. And of course a first year head coach is going to have issues sometimes, that's just the way it is. He has to learn from them. Donatell has issues too but Kendricks said in post-game about the second half we just need to hold them and the Colts had 8 field goals so there is that. And Pat Pete said all they need is 5 tds lol.
