Yaaaaay!  Vikings win!!

My heart is a purple glitter parade of fabulousness!  The Seahawks will be tough, and I fully expect eventual disappointment. But, for now, I'm going to wallow in this win.

If you gotta play the Seahawks, best to do it as far away from Seattle as possible.

Congrats.

Truth.

The Steelers have to play the Bengals, right? I like their chances next week.

The division title is great, but truth be told, I'd have rather faced Green Bay in the wildcard round. Seattle is going to be tough.

Yup. In primetime Saturday night it was just announced. Short week for Andy Dalton coming out of a cast.

Plus, Ben is good in Ohio.

Despite my ingrained pessimism when it comes to the Vikings, Minnesota winning the division title is a hell of an accomplishment, especially considering the schedule they had this season. Yes, Green Bay in the opening playoff round would have been a better matchup, but if they can find a way to get past Seattle, they will have proven (perhaps most of all to themselves) they are a team to reckon with.

That said, I don't see anyone in the NFC getting past Carolina. They're playing at an incredible level.
