OPEN THREAD: Fourth Quarter

Brett Favre is being looked at on the sidelines, Adrian Peterson lucked out on two fumbles, and Favre threw a pick on a play that would’ve drawn five flags if it were Jared Allen making the low sack. The time is now for these Vikings. Here are the keys for the fourth quarter: STOP THE [...]

OPEN THREAD: Third Quarter

Well, the second quarter turned into a defensive struggle and a turn over riddled ending. 14-14 means this is heating up to have one heck of an ending. Here are my keys to the third quarter: OPENING DRIVE:  The Saints will get the ball after the half and the defense needs to come out and [...]

OPEN THREAD: Second Quarter

Well, we thought this would be a shootout, and it looks like a shootout is what we got. At the close of the second quarter, the score is 14-7 Vikings.  Much credit has to go to the Vikings offense who has methodicaly turned two ten-play drives into touchdowns.  The amount of time they have taken [...]

Adam’s Prediction

Well, the Jets and the Colts are putting on a good show today, but I get the feeling it will be nothing compared to what’s going to go down in the Super Dome. After thinking about this all week, I am finally ready to reveal my prediction… not that it means anything. 41-27, Vikings. SKOL!

Today’s Inactives

Neither team has any real surprises on their inactives lists.  It is a good sign for [...]

Coach Chris: Final Thoughts Before The Big One In The Big Easy

It’s game day, and I am still feeling confident about our prospects.   There is just too much talent that is too focused on the goal to not feel good about the outcome.   With full realization that anything can happen and weird, unexpected things can rise up to bite you… especially on the road. [...]

ESPN Reports Vikes Have Healthy D-Line

One major question approaching the NFC Championship game is how healthy their defensive line is.  Kevin Williams (knee), Pat Williams (foot), and Ray Edwards (knee) were all listed as questionable. I just saw an ESPN report that all three of them, and Percy Harvin too, will be available and active for the Vikings. I am [...]

“The Sick One” Seems Okay

Judd Zulgad of Access Vikings is reporting that Percy “The Sick One” Harvin “seems fine” today and is expected to make the flight to New Orleans with his team. Migraines had kept Harvin out of practice late this week, and his status for Sunday was labeled as “questionable.” This is very good news for our offense [...]
