Welcome to the second edition of WTS NFCCG: NFC.
For those of you who missed Volume I, you can read it here.
Well, we kicked the shit out of the Vikings. It was a glorious game filled with the type of suspense one would expect when watching a One on One basketball game between LeBron James and my 5'2" Aunt. (I love you Aunt Patti).
Regardless, Vikings fans took the defeat as well as could be expected, complete with calls to fire the coach, the entire defense, their OC Shurmur (who was leaving anyway), and eventually, themselves. Countless stories of horrid Eagles fans flooded the Minnesota (and national) media before, during, and after the game, highlighted by Adam Theilen's plee to not stereotype the Philadelphia Eagle fanbase...
"You can't group all Eagles fans into that group," Thielen said one day after his team bus was pelted with beer on its way out of Philly.

Things got heated between Vikings and Eagles fans during the NFCCG weekend, which included an evening Vikings celebration where all 50 of their fans who traveled to Philadelphia met outside of the Art Museum Rocky statue and covered it in gold and purple. Eagles fans responded the way Eagles fans respond.

Met up with @Vikings fans arriving home @mspairport from Philly early this morning. The two takeaways...they're sad about the team losing and they're disgusted with Eagles fans. pic.twitter.com/2aLdYScZ8L

Look, I don't advocate violence toward opposing fans in our home, but those two... I don't know.
Anyway, the Minnesota game thread meltdown was almost as epic as the one on BtB. But to all those fans pining for a meteor, be careful what you wish for. Astroid 2002 AJ129 is floating by earth at an alarmingly close proximity during the Super Bowl. Some may see this as an omen, but I see it as evidence that Alshon Jeffery will catch 2 TD's in the 1st quarter, and 2 TD's in the 4th quarter, for 129 yards. Optimism is king.
Also, be mindful if you're actually going to Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, as fans have already planned to hijack Uber and drop unsuspecting Eaglea off at the wrong destination.
Keep it classy Minnesota.
On the the game, enjoy!
