AD Earns An Award

Adrian Peterson has earned his first award of the 2010 season with the performance that he had against the Lions. He earned the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Peterson's won the award based on gaining 160 yards rushing on 23 carries in a 24-10 win over the Lions.  His two touchdowns included an 80-yard scamper.
After the way that Peterson has been running ball beg the question. Has the tide shifted in Minnesota?  Is this Peterson's team once again. With the performance that the passing offense that has put together so far this season. It is not even close to impressive, average at best.  Will this offense be a run first offense coming off the bye week.
With Peterson barely in second place as the leagues leading rusher so far this season. He has been consistent when Chilly does get him the ball. I think that the Vikes would have had a better chance if Person could have gotten the rock a little more in the season opener. Then again that is all in hind sight.
If Favre and the passing game cannot get their act together soon. It will be interesting to see what Chilly does with the passing game. It looks like that AP is regaining his leadership for the Vikes wih his performance on the field during the first 3 games.

Week 3: The Skol Line

Vikings 24-Lions 10

The Vikings were able to finally pull off a win, but I did not know it was going to take this long. I will take a W in win column that is for sure.


The offense continues to struggle in the beginning  part of the season. This game was the first victory of the season. It sure was tough to see at times.If not for AD having the games that he did. Would the Vikes be at 1-2 or 0-3? Adrian Peterson ripped off an 80 yard run on the way to 190 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. Percy had a decent game and had to jump for a ball that Favre overthrew on the get the TD reception.

The defense did a great job keeping the Lion defense in check for most of the game. The two Lion scores came after 2 Favre interceptions. It just makes me wonder how different the game may have been if Detroit's #1 QB would have been in there. The defense is doing everything they can the keep the Vikes in the game. it is all up to the offense to score the points.

After the first two games of sad offense now gives the Vikes and its fans a little promise of the season. With the bye coming up this week. The Vikings needs to eliminate the penalties and play sharper, more focused football.

Lets just hope that this is 1 of many wins this season.

SKOL VIKINGS!!!!   

Why I was out??

Hello everyone--


I just want to let everyone that I am back. The reason that I have not blogged on so LONG was due to my computer being down.My wife + coffee and computer = a new keyboard for the laptop.

I am back and will have a recap this week about the game that the Vikes played today. I just cannot believe the way the season has started out thus far. It is anything but I have envisioned that is for certain. I featured that the Vikes would be going onto the bye with a 2-1 record at its worst and the offense would be somewhat coherent.

 

Who Will Strike First

With the news that the Saints DC Gregg Williams' interview has been delayed. I would be shocked if Sean Peyton allows Williams to talk at all. Considering in training camp Williams said that starting will this game, he want to send a message. The message of course is the "remember me hit".


The last think that Peyton wants is that Vikes defense crippling the Saints QB Drew Brees. With what the Saint Defense did to Favre last season. I think Frazier will be blitzing Brees like white on rice. 

Many people believe that Favre came back, especially for this game that it to take place on Thursday against the Saints. With the beating he took against the Saints in the NFC Championship game. I bet that it will be a keep point that the offensive line to Favre in this game.

The fans do not want to see T-Joke on the field in any point of the season to start a game unless the Vikes have the division all wrapped up. We will all see if Favre still has the magic that he had most of last season.


SKOL VIKINGS!!!

Sage is Traded

The Minnesota Vikings sends Sage Rosenfels and Darius Reynaud packing to New York Giants in exchange for a draft pick for the 2011 and 2012 drafts. With this news at least Sage will be a backup QB a place where is deserves to be.

Now it looks like the Vikes have all the trust in T-Jack as their backup QB behind Favre. We can pretty much say that Webb will not be on the field as a QB this season. He is light years behind T-Jack and Favre.


I will say this now, if Favre does go down(crossing my fingers that he does not) the Vikes will be sorry for trading the better player out the two. T-Jack should be the one packing his bags instead of Sage.

There is a reason why how is called T-Choke and it not like he cannot swallow food properly.When he gets into games and the pocket collapse and is like a deer in head lights. This is just another way for Chilly to keep his "project quarterback".
