Vikings fans may have been a little underwhelmed this morning when they heard ESPN report that Winfield would miss four to six weeks because his foot was indeed fractured. Winfield refutes the story and [...]

About Those Calls
I’ve noticed a lot of fans posting comments (here and elsewhere) about the Vikings getting “robbed” by the refs on this game. I have to admit that I think the Steelers won this game for the Steelers, not the refs. I find myself falling a little less on the side of feeling “screwed” by the [...]
Breaking Down The Film
Let’s break down some film from the Steelers game to take a look at what is working and what is not. The numbers to the left indicate the time marking for each play on the video above. 0:08: Mike Wallace runs a reverse. Cedric Griffin does a good job of sticking with his man [...]
Anger Management
I have never been to an anger management class, but if I were I think one of the main pointers they give is to put your anger into question form. So… since I am still too angry to give unbiased, quality analysis, let me put some questions out there as if I were at Childress’ [...]
Half Time Thoughts
The Steelers are going into half time with a 3 point lead against the Vikes. Here are a few thoughts on the action thus far: Visanthe Shiancoe is having a bad day. In addition to one dropped pass, Shiancoe has had two false starts. The offense needs to scheme a few plays his way to [...]

Live Blog Coming… Or Is It?
A couple of times I have done live blogs here at Vikings Gab and they have gone pretty well. I have to admit that I prefer just watching the game as opposed to being glued to my laptop, but also enjoy to comradery that comes with spending game times with you the readers. Also, Sunday’s [...]
Adam’s Preview Of The Steelers Game
When the Vikings won their first four games nobody was all that impressed. Afterall, they started out by beating the Browns and the Lions. Then they got “lucky” on a miracle throw against the Niners. Then they beat up on the Packer’s “Baby Swiss” offensive line in a game where the Vikes almost let them [...]
