No chance. SF will crush them
This might not age well . The Minnesota Vikings have more than a punchers chance today you can count on that

Ok. Everybody start eating their crow and admit that Viking had no chance after 1st possession to win this and the 49ers crushed them.

Niners took complete control after half with a strong running game and utterly dominating play by their D Line. That bye must have done wonders for them. They were walking with a spring in their step the entire game, while the Vikes seemed kind in a daze.
Is that the destiny of wildcards on the road? Things are set up to make it that way. We're going to have to find a way to get something from our patchwork O Line if we're going to have a long shot chance. GB is no dynamo, but they're healthy, fresh, have a solid running game, and a decent defense. We'll have to find a way to deal with that...and history.
One good thing about the Niners win is it leaves the door open for us to be the upstart winner for these conference playoff games.

Cousins turned back into a pumpkin. Like he usually does. He's good for 8 or so good games a season.

Oh well. No home NFCCG. Admittedly it is going to be a challenge just to get too SF. Hawks got no late season injury luck at all.

The 49ers looked very beatable, but that Vikings team didn't look anything like the team that beat the Saints last week. Did not look to me like it was the 49ers being great that got the win.

Their defense played well. Their O though, was ripe for the pickin. The Vikes just couldn't stop the run. If they could've even slowed it down, Jimmy was true to his nature. Throwing high, late, and behind his guys over the middle when he even thinks pressure might get home. That's his one issue. In the first Hawks game, we pressured often and he missed high often. Should've thrown 4/5 picks. The Vikes D-line layed a huge egg for them today.
