NFC North Losses Provide Vikes With Golden Opportunity

The Detroit Lions saw their backup quarterback Shaun Hill, who was starting in place of Matt Stafford, break an arm today, meaning that Drew Stanton was in the game today.  The Giants were able to fend off another valiant effort by the hapless Lions.  28-20 was the final score. The Packers are currently less healthy [...]

Peterson Gets NFC’s Top Honors

Adrian Peterson showed a good deal of willingness to put the Vikings offense on his back when they took on the Lions on Sunday. He averaged seven yards per carry as he rumbled to 160 yards, 80 of which came on one log touchdown play.  He also had five catches for 30 yards in the [...]

Live Chat: Vikes Host Lions

Sorry for the lack of updates as we approach what will hopefully be the Vikings first victory of the season.  I’m hoping to make up for it by hosting this live chat. Lets review a few things you should know before we get started: Children can make for some of the most loyal football fans [...]

Vikings Win On The Waiver Wire

It is a rare thing to see a team that finished as well as the Vikings did last year be awarded a player from the waiver wires. None-the-less, the Vikings were awarded wide reciever Marko Mitchell today. Here is what the Vikes had to say about it: We noted earlier today that the Vikings parted [...]

Lito Looking North

In the midst of walking my dogs, brewing coffee, and eating my Wheaties I noticed a quick blurb on the NFL Network. Lito Sheppard is visiting the Lions soon, but they also said the Vikings and the Bears could have interest in his services. At age 29, it is unclear what type of market Sheppard [...]

Rumors Fly Regarding Taylor

I have long stated that it makes sense for both parties if the Vikings and Chester Taylor separate this offseason. Now, only days before the start of free agency, the rumor mill would lead one to believe that I may get at least one prediction correct. PFT pointed out that Taylor’s jersey has been reduced [...]

Well, it was a long bye week, but finally we get to watch some Vikings football again.  The Lions are on the prowl, in what should be a cat walk for the Vikings, but may end up being a mouse trap.  Hop into our live blog below and let us know what you think: Lions [...]

Niners Do The Vikings A Solid

Hey everyone!  Sorry for the lack of updates on Thursday.  I had a very, very late night at work.  I will try and catch up tomorrow evening. Just got home, though, and was pleased to see that the Bears lost to the Niners.  That is great news for the Vikings, as they are looking to [...]

Winfield Not Practicing

Many of us fans, and especially the Vikings coaches, are hoping for a speedy recovery for the Vikings top cornerback Antoine Winfield. The latest update I can pass along is that Winfield is not practicing on Monday.  I wouldn’t read too much into this, as Winfield still has the possibility to play on Sunday.  I was [...]

Vikings Already Control Their Own Destiny

Scary start against the Browns?  No problem. Scary start against the Lions?  No problem. Scary start against our next two opponents, now that could be a problem. Right now the Vikings are the sole leader of the NFC North.  The phrase “control your own destiny” is typically used more in weeks 15 and 16… not [...]
