According to NFL.com:

The Vikings' 41 yards rushing are the team's fewest since Nov. 13, 2005.

and

The Vikings finished with season lows in points (7), total yards (237), rush yards (41), third down conversions (1) and time of possession (22:01).

Amazing, awesome performance by our defense all the way around. We managed to shut down Peterson and Farve at the same time.... an incredible feat.

yeah, i don't want the defense touched going into next year....at least not in regards to coaches and scheme. what they have done overall has worked. the pass D is very solid. the run D is improving.

what we saw last night was a top 5 defense easily.

It's a shame the Saints won't have anything to play for when we meet them... would like another crack at them. We had them on the ropes for a good portion of our last meeting... last night proved we are capable of beating anyone, when we're not beating ourselves.

The D was awesome last night. That was perhaps the best tackling, night I have seen from the Panthers. The best this year easy; they were actually dropping Viking Receivers one-on-one after they caught the ball (few balls they caught). huge pass rush. That was a championship performance by the D.

I really hope Meeks sticks around next season. The defense is looking tpo notch these days.

:iamwithstupid:

If we keep Meeks next year & our defense played the same like last night or even better (same for our offense too), we could get back in the Playoffs. Thing are looking promising next year if our team continue play like they did lately as I said eariler. :)

Yeah the defense will be a force next year, some young guys got some experience this year and we've added depth at DT which has hit with the injury bug all season. If we get our starters back next year and they stay healthy we will have the top ranked defense next year... Even if peppers is gone I think the defense will be solid. If he wants out I believe we've got some young guys that can step up and do a substantial job and pay sloid enough in his absense.

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
