Heard second only to Moss for something...

Yeah joined Moss as the only other Viking to have 900+ receiving yards in the first 10 games. Moss did it twice.

yep

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen logged six receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-7 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. While doing so, he joined Randy Moss as one of two players in team history to have accumulated at least 60 receptions and 900 yards over a team's first 10 games of a season, per NFL.com.

Through 10 games in the 2017 campaign, Thielen has caught 62 passes for 916 yards and three touchdowns. His terrific performance also puts him on track to surpass his career-high totals for receptions (69), yards (967) and touchdowns (five), all of which were recorded last year.

FYI - in 2003 Randy Moss caught 67 passes for 1023 yards in the first 10 games of the season. 2003 was Moss' best season for the Vikes and he ended up with 111 catches, 1632 yards and 17 TDs

Hopefully finishes up somewhere in the top five of that list
 
Who would have thought that at this stage of the season we would be tied in giving up the fewest sacks (12).

That includes 4 on Bradford in the return attempt too.
The O-line reconstruction this year is one of the biggest turnarounds that I can remember. I'm not sure if the kudos goes to Spielman (GM), Zimmer (HC), Shurmur (OC) or Sparano (O-Line Coach) or maybe all of them but tough choices were made - drafting Elflein, picking up free agents Reiff and Remmers, and releasing Boone. I can't remember a situation where a team started an entirely new O-line with no carryovers at any position but that's what the team did and it worked.

The other thing is that the Vikings are suddenly deep across the O-line as well with Rashod Hill (who was picked up off the Chargers practice squad late last year) playing well when he has had to fill in for Reiff and Remmers and rookie Danny Isadora also contributing. Easton, Sirles and Collins are also upgrades over what we had last year. Spielman has had to admit defeat on T.J. Clemmings and Willie Beavers and both were released which is not something the GM has been willing to do in the past.

It's either the best O-line plan of all time or the biggest miracle - I'm just not sure.....

Yeah I dont think you can narrow it down to a specific reason or person. You have to also mention Keenums ability to move.

All i know is that I love that it is working so far :praying:
 
So.
I've been avoiding here because I understand the life of a Vikings fan and I didn't want to get too far ahead of myself.
I'm just trying to be organised for superbowl Monday.
Say the unthinkable happens and we make it I would wanna watch it with some fellow Vikings fans.
I am Melbourne based and usually just go to my local tgi and sink some beer.

Where is everyone from?
Is there a possibility of a place having atleast a few Vikings fans should we make it?

Im conflicted between being too hopeful and being too organised.

I was gonna plan to head to Minneapolis and watch it in a bar but I have had some financial things come up and that's not an option.
I would love to find some fellow fans. A task proving to be far harder than I thought

You’d need a LOT of money to visit a Super Bowl city during the SB. Everything is booked out months ahead so it’s not really something you can do on a whim.

Save your cash and plan on a Vikings/Packers game in Minnesota instead#bucketlist
 
Im in Melb, still unsure if ill have it off at this stage.

Though if the Vikes happen to make it ill take it off for sure.

Travelling to the states probably at the end of next week for work as well. Hopefully get to watch some playoffs with the locals.
 
2018 Schedule

Home: Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Arizona, San Francisco, Buffalo, Miami and New Orleans.

Away: Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle, New England, New York Jets, and Philadelphia.

A trip to Foxboro to offically begin Toms decline, a potential reunion with Jay and a visit from Jimmy G among them.

I can dress up in purple if any Vikings fans want to meet me :(

Just you have to not tell anyone you're going to meet a strange man, what city you're going to, don't leave any details of the person's name, or internet handles and email info anywhere in your house, or any other such details that could incriminate me. Also, no need to waste your money on a return ticket.

Robots arent that scary yet.
 
I like that we are now starting to get written off by more and more people across all platforms.

Will make either the win even more sweet or the loss abit of a softer landing.
