Vikings v LA game thread

Anderson Silva just because he's unassuming at 49 years old.
It took all season, but the NFL Sam Darnold we all know has reappeared.
What a 1st half for the Rams.
24-3, with 0:15 sec left in the half
The Vikings have some firepower on O, but I'm not sure they have enough to overcome that deficit.

I don't get ESPN and didn't know Van Pelt was still around until I saw the halftime show. IIRC, years ago when he was an up and comer, he'd post on a few college message boards. I know he posted now and then on the old PSU board, or maybe it was the old old board. I doubt he does that nowadays.
that's back when he was desperate for things to talk about shortly before going on air.
Sam Darnold must have taken a pregame soak in a hot tub time machine and gone back to when he sucked.
Rams DB again trying to intercept a deep ball on 4th down. Would have resulted in a 30 yard loss. Apparently nobody corrected this after they actually did it a few weeks ago.
He certainly has not looked good. In his defense, his OL (and RBs) have not done a great job of blocking, and the Rams' DBs have blanketed his receivers (especially Jefferson).
Kind of hard to believe that 8 days ago, the Vikings played the Lions, for the right to be the #1 seed.

Why do I see the Commodores in the Eagles future? Birds beat the Rams and they beat the Lions! Mark it down
Going to be a lot of sad faces around these parts the next week. But for Vikings fans, the glass is half full as the Packers also lost.

Detroit has too many injuries on D. But the Lions can score. It will be a 45-42 type of game against Washington.
What blew me away was that the game was a tough ticket. After moving from LA to Glendale, we thought we’d be able to grab a couple of cheap tix. Not so. Get-in bottomed out at $125. Not bad for a playoff game but with no horse in the race, we didn’t pull the trigger. Looked like the stadium was full and very few tix on the secondary market.
I wonder if a lot of people from LA set up camp in AZ to get away? That or it was Cardinals fans desperate for a peek at playoff football!
A couple of things from what I understand. First, the Rams allegedly chartered busses for their season ticket holders and provided free transportation. Second, we already have a large population of LA migrants. Third, many displaced from LA were already staying here with friends and family. And finally, Phoenix is full of MN transplants and snowbirds.
The Rams sold 25,000 tickets to this game to their season ticket holders in the first hour they went on sale and another 10,000 in the next hour. Pretty impressive.
Wow, would have never expected that beat down. Darnold and rest of team failed to show up in the 2 games it mattered most.
Yeah. I wonder how this impacts Kevin O’Connell if at all? He’s been good but this is now two playoff appearances where his team was upset in round one.
Both losses were to teams ripe for a beating.
The LA Rams should be feared moving forward. To prove my point just look at the 5 point spread against the Eagles. The Rams will be traveling, playing in horrible weather and the wise guys are only giving them 5 points? To me that screams upset.

Temperature: 38°
conditions: rain mixed with snow
Wind: 10 mph
A warm climate team coming to play under these conditions against the Eagles who many consider a better football team and only giving 5 points. They’re basically saying this is a pick’em.
They are definitely not saying this is a pick'em. The line is mostly -6 and HFA advantage is down to about 2 to 2.5 for places like Philly, so that is probably Eagles -3.5 to -4 on a neutral. The weather likely has no point spread implication. Not cold or windy enough to have a big impact.
That said, the Rams definitely scare me. If I had to choose one dark horse team to get to the super bowl, it would be the Rams.
