The Vikings will be at home this week against the Houston Texans.  Both teams come in at 3-4.
I really feel that the Vikings NEED to win this game to salvage the season.  The only way they’re going [...]

Ugh.
Read the article here.

I think our backups at [...]

The Vikings can’t lose today.
It’s sad that this is the only week I’ve felt confident in that for a while.

Hey Vikings fans…
Sorry, I didn’t pick a player of the game this week, because frankly, I don’t think the Vikings deserved to have a Player of the Week chosen.  So instead we’ll move on with the Player Profiles for the week.\

I guess we were okay other than that, though.
Ugh.

The CAN NOT let Hester have big returns.  No offense to Reggie Bush, but Hester might be the most potentially dangerous return man in the NFL, and the Vikings have sucked at covering kicks this year.  [...]
