https://mfn8.myfootballnow.com/log/2571reporter = Coach Robert Jensen some quick questions .
Jensen = yes
reporter = knowing you beat the Philadelphia Eagles by 3 points which you got your 2nd victory against the Eagles which also your only 2 wins have come against the eagles and eliminated the Eagles from the playoff contention what do you have to say about that ??
Jensen = if that doesn't tell you how bad of season we have had nothing else will. Glad we did sweep them this season and at least we knocked them from playoff contention so who knows maybe this will help us have a rival game against each other.
reporter = lets talk about the New York Giants who beat the Seattle Seahawks 12-9 which gives them a 3 point win what do you make of that??
Jensen = Well looks like they are still wanting to make the playoffs and a win like that has to help them .
reporter = lets talk more about the Philadelphia Eagles who lost to the Dallas Cowboys by the score 30-27 which gives them a 3 point loss what do you make of that??
Jensen = the only thing they can play for now is to get 2nd place from the Giants because they are eliminated from playoff contention because of our win so there's that.
reporter = lets talk about the Washington Redskins who beat the Chicago Bears 52-29 which gives them a 23 point win which gives them a 10 game winning streak what do you have to say about that??
Jensen = well if they win their last 4 games they will tied their 14 game winning streak of last season and here I thought they could break it.
reporter = knowing that St. Louis Rams are your next opponent , they are 5-7 on the season and are right now a 10th seed for the playoffs which just by beating them you could eliminate them from the playoff contention and knowing you don't have anything else to play for do you think you can eliminate St. Louis and New Orleans from playoff contention knowing those 2 teams are the only teams out of the 4 teams who are still fighting for playoff contention in the 4 games left in your season ??
Jensen = well hopefully we can have a chance of eliminating one or both of them because really when you are eliminated from playoff contention the only thing you can do is play the role of spoiler to knock other teams from playoff contention.
reporter = one last question out of all 16 games which game really surprised you??
Jensen = I would have to say the Minnesota Vikings - St. Louis Rams score which was 85-7 which game the Vikings a 78 point winning margin and in the process clinched their FIRST playoff appearance in their 8 year existence which really now it looks like only Atlanta , Dallas , New Orleans and Oakland will not play in the playoffs for their first time until maybe next season though the Saints are the only team out of those 4 that has yet to be eliminated from playoff contention but I guess next week we will find out if they are still alive or eliminated from the playoffs which btw little pissed about this because really if the Raiders , Saints and Vikings all had made the playoffs it would only been Atlanta and Dallas without a playoff appearance which next season there would have been a update about both teams to see who makes it first and who is the last team to get that first playoff appearance in their history though guess still could do it with that last 4 teams just wouldn't be as exciting like if there is only 2.
Jensen = thrilled he won his 2nd game of the season though is laughing up a storm knowingly the 2 victories came against the same team.
reporters = are by theirselves knowingly their dream of a losing streak to end the season might be out of their grasp.
owner = is really wishing this season would hurry up and end so he can get the bad taste of this season out of his mouth and look forward to a better season.
fans = are totally excited that 1 of the 3 teams they are rooting for clinched a playoff appearance (Vikings) , that another team has a chance of making the playoffs (Saints) and really a little disappointed in the last team they were rooting for got eliminated from the playoffs (Raiders).
