Vikings can't afford to have many scoreless drives. They need to consistently reach FG I feel to have a chance. Seahawks will eventually roll on offence you has to feel.

Born in Britain, Indian origin. I'm not built for uber cold temperatures =P.

I am optimum between 10-20 degrees, pretty much like everything in Britain and especially the dastardly trains I take to work every damn day :lol:

Trains stop working here for any damn reason!

It looks so cold at this game that just being outside would hurt.
 
As they challenge this. How come they do not have hawkeye technology to determine forward progress. If you can pinpoint a tennis ball down to five millimetres sure you can do the same with a football.
 
It's cold but it's not quite the Ice Bowl or the Snow Bowl...

  • The game-time temperature at Lambeau Field was about −15 °F (−26 °C), with an average wind chill around −48 °F (−44 °C); under the revised National Weather Service wind chill index implemented in 2001, the average wind chill would have been −36 °F (−38 °C).
  • Lambeau Field's turf-heating system malfunctioned, and when the tarpaulin was removed from the field before the game, it left moisture on the field, which flash-froze in the extreme cold, leaving an icy surface that got worse as more and more of the field fell into the shadow of the stadium.
  • The University of Wisconsin–La Crosse (then Wisconsin State University–La Crosse) Marching Chiefs band was scheduled to perform the pre-game and half-time shows. However, during warm-ups in the brutal cold, the woodwind instruments froze and would not play; the mouthpieces of brass instruments got stuck to the players' lips; and seven members of the band were transported to local hospitals for hypothermia.
  • During the game, an elderly spectator in the stands died from exposure.
  • Prior to the game, many of the Green Bay players were unable to start their cars in the freezing weather, forcing them to make alternate travel arrangements to make it to the stadium on time. Linebacker Dave Robinson had to flag down a random passing motorist for a ride.
  • The referees for the game found they did not have sufficient clothing for the cold, and had to make an early trip to a sporting goods store for earmuffs, heavy gloves, and thermal underwear.
  • The officials were unable to use their whistles after the opening kick-off. As referee Norm Schachter blew his metal whistle to signal the start of play, it froze to his lips. As he attempted to free the whistle from his lips, the skin ripped off and his lips began to bleed. The conditions were so hostile that instead of forming a scab, the blood simply froze to his lip.
  • At one point during the game, CBS announcer Frank Gifford said on air, "I'm going to take a bite of my coffee."
  • In their last offensive drive, the Packers took over possession at their own 32-yard line with 4:50 left in regulation time. With the wind chill around −70 °F / −57 °C,(or −50 °F / −46 °C) Starr led his team down the field.
  • Emotionally, both the Packers and Cowboys players were spent. In the Packers' locker room, the players openly wept

  • Michigan won the game 9–3, despite never getting a first down and failing on all nine pass attempts.
  • The teams punted 45 times, sometimes on first down

Our offense looks brutal. They've definitely come out cold.

Wasn't much of a pun, but intended.

Which is shocking really. Lockette should be a huge weapon on those plays.

Somehow we never run them to him, always someone else. Lockett that is.

Defence turning up though thankfully.
 
This guy on Sky Sports knows literally nothing about our contract statuses.

Give it time Rpitoda we've been pretty unpredictable all year..
 
Any further Vikings points and this is over I fear.

Bullshit PI call that.
 
Excellent FG. Seattle need some points on this drive.
