Well, kickoff will finally be here in a few moments. The Vikings are set to battle the Saints for a chance to face the Colts in the Super Bowl.
As a continuation from last week, I will have open threads available for each quarter. Make sure to stop in and give us your thoughts on the game.
First Quarter Keys:
- QUICK START: It seems very unlikely that the Vikings are able to silence the crowd in the Super Dome. Even if they jump to a three score lead, these fans know their team is capable of coming back and will cheer them on until all hope is lost. Regardless, the Vikings have to try and kill the mood in that stadium by jumping into a good lead early in this game.
- PHYSICAL CORNERS: The Cowboys drew up the blue print on how to shut down the Saints passing game. Jamming their receivers at the line of scrimmage and playing them very physical keeps them from getting into a rhythm and may allow our pass rush a few more seconds to get to Brees.
- BALANCE: Normally this is where I preach about the running game, but not today. Today, I think it is important that Vikes keep balance on offense and be very methodical. Long, time-consuming drives will tire down this defense and keep Brees off the field. Moving the chains via the ground and the air is the top priority.
We have advantage on Defense.
Fire away up front. We need to keep Brees off the field
Much agreed, lost.
Go Vikings!!!!!!! ………. Win!!!!!!
Please Vikes no stupid mistakes Tonight
Vikes get ball first
KICK ASS, VIKES, KICK ASS!
YEAH!!! Nice drive Vikings! 5 minutes very methodical!
TD AP!!!!!!
Dugan sprung it with his key block!!!!
Sharper was saying “Who Dat!?!” as Adrian blew by him. Woo Hooo!
OMG ! ! ! ADRIAN PETERSON’S GONNA GO WILD TODAY ! ! !
Nice block from Dugan, nice burst from Peterson, great drive which was exactly what I had in mind on my KEY #3 above.

Just blitz Winfield everytime!
Yikes, poor tackling. That was bad, bad, bad…
Benny got leveled. Dret!
Anyone notice the hold as they pushed the vikes defender out of bounds?
its okay we’ll get it done
Leber blew his tackle and Tyrell took a terrible angle… we can’t play THAT game again today
can’t let that french guy run loose like that.
ok, from that camera angle, Benny put his pants on the ground
we let the crowd back in it a little. gotta shut ’em up again.
lmao@ole
GO VIKES!
saved!!!! ….. by a penalty
WTF!?!? who the hell is wearing Berrian’s jersey today
We need to protect Farve…

Yeah, Baby, Yeah! I think Brett should huddle with the D and tell them keep those Aints out of the endzone!

with all the hits favre is taking, he is gonna have to re-apply his poli-grip at half time
