Happy New Years Week

There have been so many questions that will remain unanswered for the 2010 Vikings going into Week 17. What happened to the team that was 1 pass from going to the Super Bowl a season ago? I think that is the main question right there.

The game that the Vikes play this week will be interesting to say the LEAST. The loser of the game will the cellar dweller of the NFC North this season.If the Lions win on Sunday, that would be first time since 2007 that they (Lions) would not finish in last place in the division.


Leslie Frazier's Future
For Leslie Frazier, it seems that he has not won over the higher ups just yet. So it looks that he is still trying to earn the right to be the Vikings Head Coach in 2011 and beyond. In my opinion, Frazier has earned the respect in the locker room, that is something that Chilly has never had control over especially in the 2 years Favre was here. In the month or so that Frazier has been the interiem head coach has been craziness. He has done the best he could with what the Vikes went through.
 This has included the collapse of the Metrodome roof -- the Vikings were forced to play "home" games in Detroit and at TCF Bank Stadium -- and the NFL's decision to push last Sunday's game between the Vikings and Eagles to Tuesday because of the threat of a blizzard in Philadelphia.

Will Favre Pass

With this expected to be Brett Favre's NFL game. Favre has yet to be cleared to play due to failing the concussion tests yesterday. So Favre will need to pass the tests tomorrow to be be able to play on Sunday. If Favre does pass the tests he is expected to start for the Vikes at Ford Field.

If Favre cannot go, Joe Webb would be the starter for the game. Webb did a stellar job for the Vikes on Sund...Mond....nope Tuesday Night for the Vikes. He did well great job managing the game and not turnover the ball.

Other Thoughts

The game that I am looking forward to watching is the Rams-Seattle game. I would be something to see a team with a losing record make the playoffs. It does not matter who wins that game, because ESPN will be going berserk, because term with more wins were left out of the playoffs. 


Other than that i hope that everybody has a great and safe New Years. I hope for the Vikes to have a great 2011 campaign.

New Years Week

I just cannot believe that this the last Week of the regular season. I sure does make me sad. This week does have other implications, nothing to do with the playoffs. The loser of the game this week will be the cellar team of the NFC North. Who would have thought that the Vikes go from 1 pass to make the Super Bowl to potentially finishing last in the division.

The questions going into the game:

Will Favre play in his "potential" final NFL game?
Will Leslie Frazier be the Vikes coach in 2011?
Does the defense need a change?

So after this game, most of these questions will be answered

Vikings Win At Philly 24-14

The Viking sure did shock me last night with the 24-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. I sure was not looking forward to watching the game.The way the Eagles have played all season with Micheal Vick under center. As a Viking fan this sure was a great game to watch from start to finish. This was the best win if the season over a quality opponent.

The defense 

The way that the Viking defense played last has been something the team has missed most of the season. The defense did a good job make the Eagles beat you will the long drive and not the BIG plays in this game. The Vikes kept constant pressure on Vick and blitzed quite a bit. The secondary was good in this game with 2 interceptions, but it could have been 2 more if the DBs could have hung on to the ball. The DBs stuck with the receivers and did not allow any big plays(30+ yards). Antoine Winfield changed the completion of the game late in the 2nd quarter with a Winfield Special(sack, forced fumble, fumble recovery, touchdown).

 The Offense

With Brett Favre sporting his street clothes last night gave Joe Webb his 1st NFL start. Joe Webb did a good job moving the offense effectively down the field. Webb showed the fans that he has the potential to be the QB of the Future. Webb against the Eagles defense had great poise, intelligence, mobility, and accuracy.The most important stat in the game no INTs by the rookie.  This was a great decision by the Viking coach with sticking with Webb as the start and no starting Ramsey and whoever else.

Adrian Peterson also had a good day on the ground rushing over 100 yards in the game. In this game, AD did not have to carry the weight of the offense on his shoulders. This was a balanced offensive attack by the Vikes.

This was a big win for Leslie Frazier to have the interim tag removed from his current title. Ziggy should just hire him on right now, because he seems like the right man for the job. He fits this team perfectly.

Game Balls:

Offense-Joe Webb

Defense-Antonie Winfield

Sunday Night Game was Postponed

I still cannot believe that the NFL postponed the game until Tuesday Night. What is this league coming to now. The NFL moved the Minnesota Vikings-Philadelphia Eagles game from Sunday night to Tuesday night because of an expected blizzard that could dump up to 20 inches snow on Philadelphia

Whatever happened NFL players braving the elements. i guess all that went out the window when they instituted things like the Brady Rule, I guess. I guess the Vikes and Eagle will have to have their date on Tuesday. What is Roger the Hammer doing to the NFL.He is making them into more cream puffs that is for certain. I know maybe he should require a dome in every northern NFL state.

In my opinion, this is getting pathetic canceling a game due to SNOW. I guess that I will see everyone on Tuesday,or until something else crazy happens Viking related.

Merry Xmas Week

Hello Everyone. I hope that you have some grand plans for this holiday season.

Vikes-Eagles

This is a game that I have NOT been looking foward to all season long. Now it it upon us and what can we do and just hope that the Vikes can make this game a competitive one.The Eagles offense has it all: a mobile QB in Micheal Vick, a big play reciever in DeSean Jackson and a good RB in McCoy. Now talk about a 3 headed monster for the Vikes defense to defend.

In every game it just seems like the Vikes as a team are falling more and more apart. As of right now and may be changing, Joe Webb is due to make his 1st NFL start against the Eagles...EWWWW! Maybe Webb will have better luck against the Eagles.



As of right now all I want from the Vikes is to finish the season with some respectability. Hope that these game do not cost Leslie Frazier a head coach job as well.

I hope that everyone has a great Xmas this year. With that being said I am holding on to the believe that Vikes might give the SNF crowd a good game to watch.

Rhett Who???

You that your team is struggling when it seems like that your team in changing QBs as often as most people change their underwear. The Vikes have signed a new QB off the Giants practice squad, Rhett Bomar.

There is no much to say about his NFL career so far at least, He was drafted by the Giants in 2009 in the 5th round. He has been on the practice squad since. He figured that he would not be the starter in New York with Eli at the helm.

Bomar figures the fresh start will do him good. I bet that he is a BIG fan being a Viking as well with the Vikes expected to have a major overhaul in the QB department this offseason. The only QB I can see coming back to the beloved purple is Joe Webb.

As of right now, Bomar will be serving as the #3 QB for the Sunday Night Football game.

Seeing The End of the Tunnel

I never thought that I would say this, but I will be glad to see the 2010 season some to a close. With what happened to the Vikings last night was atrocious. The Vikes defense make the Bear offense look like the NE Patriots losing 40-14 on Monday Night Football. I guess at least the Packers are not going to be hoisting the NFC North Championship again this season.

Favre started then was knocked out in the 2nd quarter after being thrown to the turf. Before that he was doing okay in the game. Peterson was a late scratch from the game due to a bruised thigh. Toby Gerhart was doing a good job running the ball. The Bears defense was just to much for the banged up OL to handle. If a team can get pressure with 4 and 5 are suppose to block.

At the QB was Joe Webb it was obvious he is not ready to start in the NFL. He can run the whole country saw that much. He needs to get some work in that was for sure. What was really expected out of a rookie QB that has been the 3rd stringer to the majority of the year.

Now the Vikes will be playing at Philly next Sunday Night. Boy I cannot hardly wait to see this game.
