Well, the Bye Week is over… we’ve all had time to rest up, and take a collective deep breath.

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 [...]

This week our Vikings are back home to face division rivals, the Detroit Lions.
With the Lions being 0-4, part of me has to feel good about this game, but the Vikings haven’t exactly been dominant this year, so I wouldn’t call it a sure thing.
The key for the Vikings will be stopping the pass.  Starting [...]

Pre Game Thoughts: Week 5: Vikings at Saints

So tonight the Vikings will travel to New Orleans to face the Saints on Monday Night Football.
I have to confess I’m a little nervous about this game.  The Vikings have not been playing solid football lately, and tonight they’ll have to go without E.J. Henderson, who is having a tremendous year.
The Saints are not great [...]

This weekend the Vikings play the Titans in Tennessee.  I’m hoping we can capitalize on our win from last week and let some momentum carry over.

 The Titans are a lot like the Vikings.  They are a team with a strong defense, a good running game, and a team that has replaced their young (no pun [...]

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?!?

Tonight the Vikings kick off their regular season against division rival Green Bay.  I for one can’t wait.  The last month or so has seemed excruciatingly long to me as I was eagerly anticipating tonight’s game.
I personally feel great about the Vikings chances tonight.  I think Tarvaris Jackson is going [...]

Hey Vikings fans!
I put together a highlight video of a game I simulated on Madden 09.


I hope Madden is wrong for three reasons. One, I want the Vikings to win, of course. Two, Peterson could not run at all, and he fumbled TWICE, and three, it was a [...]
