Re: Should we trade Adrian?

I got my #### whipped with a belt regularly as a child. It was the primary way my mother had to deal with raising three boys. It definitely toughened me and helped develop some important character traits. It also did some hard core stunting in the realms of trust and emotions. If this was the way A...

Re: stunned silence or a waning fan base?

I'd say there's a pretty good correlation between, number of years being a Vikings fan, and willingness to boast or over hype the team. As a fan since around '71/'72, I have learned my lesson often of getting over confident early in the season. that said, this team looks different but I'm almost af...

Re: Patriots @ Vikings Predictions (Week 2)

Brady is nothing like the Tom Brady of 3 years ago. He no longer has the kind of mobility or weapons that helped him score all most at will in years past but.......he is still Tom Brady as compare to the no name backs ups we faced last week. The Pats are certainly going to score more than 6 points b...

Re: Vikings @ Rams Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 1

Peterson just does not look good today at all....super star or not just calling it like it is. He hesitates almost every carry instead of just taking what is there.

Re: Vikings @ Rams Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 1

2 key differences in the D this year so far.....they are actually getting pressure on the QB and when they complete a pass most of the time the first guy that hits the receiver is making the tackle. Very few plays where they are getting any YAC

Re: Vikings @ Rams Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 1

This is where the D went into their prevent mode last year. Hopefully Zimmer stays aggressive.

Either he will break one or they are going to break him. I don't know that giving him the ball 30 times today against his defense is such a good idea considering he didn't play a down in the pre season.

Re: Vikings @ Rams Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 1

It looks like the over play of the D has improved this year but holy crap the O line still sucks. Until that gets corrected it wont matter.

Re: Vikings @ Rams Week 1 Predictions

We win, a lot across the middle and AP is worked like a dog this weekend. I see us getting some turnovers against Hill, which will help as long as Cassel doesn't play like Ponder and we protect the ball. I could also see Patterson getting a few rushes to take the load off AP, Rudolph being underest...

Re: How confident are you in the Vikings for 2014?

Unfortunately the pre season means nothing when it comes to evaluating the team that will be playing week #1. Rarely do starters play more than a quarter and some don't even play at all. What it does do is give the coaching staff an opportunity to evaluate new faces in game situations that they woul...

Re: What a difference a Coach (ing staff) makes ...

Time will ultimately tell just how good Zimmer is but its obvious that he has passion for the game. I love the idea that unlike Frazier who simply stood on the sideline with his arms folded when the team continued to screw the pooch....Zimmer is not afraid to show some emotion and will get in the fa...
