Peterson Still Looking Safe

As we mentioned a few weeks back, Adrian Peterson is not likely to appear on the cover of Madden 2010.  Peterson has long been thought of as a shoe-in for the gig, but as PFT points out most recently, Peterson can be scratched from the curse watch list. I’m not saying a curse exists, but the Vikings [...]

Advice For The Lions

I’m going to wander from my normal Vikings writing to offer up some advice to our division foes. The Lions have an enviable selection of draft picks that is highlighted by three in the first 33 selections. However, having the first pick in the draft is not as great as it once was. Sure, they [...]

Asleep at the Switch ?

Jay Cutler ? Who needs him ? Orlando Pace ? What would we do with a dominant Tackle ? Torry Holt ? Why should we get a solid possession receiver to go opposite Bernard Berrian ? Jason Peters ? He‘s only one of the five best offensive linemen in the NFL. Could the Vikings have [...]

Vikings Fans – Forget About These Guys Saturday

Barring a major trade up by the Vikings on draft day, which would be out of character for this staff which has been largely lethargic this off-season, then Viking fans can forget the possibility of getting any of the following ten players: QB – 1. Mathew Stafford 2. Mark Sanchez 3. Josh Freeman OT – [...]

3 Key Moments of the Vikings 09 Schedule from NFL.com

The Vikings haven’t defeated the Steelers since 1995. They will travel to Pittsburgh in Week 7 for the first time in eight years in what could be a low-scoring, smash-mouth affair between two of 2008′s best defenses.
