Vikings Can’t Stop Tebow and Broncos is 35-32 Loss
Another week, another way to lose. Christian Ponder set a Vikings rookie record by throwing for 381 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions — one of which was returned for a score, as the Broncos rallied to top the Vikings 35-32. Two of Ponder’s TD throws were long completions to Percy Harvin, who finished [...]
Vikings Gab NFL Week 13 Preview – Denver at Minnesota
WHEN THE BRONCOS HAVE THE BALL Tim Tebow (852 passing yards, 8 TD, INT) has helped the Broncos become the top rushing team in the NFL with his ability to keep drives alive with his legs. The former Heisman Trophy recipient had an NFL-record 22 carries for a quarterback and totaled 67 yards at San [...]
Vikings Gab NFL Week 12 Preview – Minnesota at Atlanta
WHEN THE VIKINGS HAVE THE BALL The expected absence of Peterson (872 rushing yards, 16 receptions, 12 total TD) could be a devastating blow to a Minnesota offense that’s fifth in the league in rushing (143.1 ypg) and has depended heavily on its workhorse back.

It was a day of injuries, frustration, and one big quarter which was enough for the Raiders to send the Vikings to their 8th loss in 10 games in the 2011 season. Carson Palmer threw for a touchdown and ran for another during a big second quarter, which the Raiders used to hold off the [...]

Vikings Concern About Re-Signing Rice Growing More and More

The Vikings quietly are growing concerned about their ability to retain WR Sidney Rice, who almost certainly will be a free agent when the lockout is lifted. Fourth-year free [...]
Vikings Stadium Plan Incomplete According To Governor
The Vikings have expressed frustration that a bill addressing the team’s stadium initiative will not be included in an extra sessions in which lawmakers are tackling the state’s budget, but Gov. Mark Dayton says the plan to construct a retractable-roof stadium in Arden Hills, a Ramsey County suburb of Minneapolis, is incomplete, according to the [...]
If the Vikings Want to Look – Where The Coaches Want To Go in 2011
I’m predicting Gary Kubiak, Lovie Smith, Marvin Lewis and John Fox get fired while Jeff Fisher gets one more chance (perhaps because the best candidates get signed before Bud Adams acts).
