Vikings 34, Bears 14: The View From The Top Is Nice

by Gonzo on Nov 30, 2008 10:53 PM CST in Vikings Comment 19 comments

Breaking news story coming out of Chicago this evening. . .the Chicago Bears are no longer owned by the McCaskey family. It turns out that the Chicago Bears are now owned by Adrian Peterson.

And to all the Bear fans that laughed and scoffed when the Vikings signed Bernard Berrian this off-season. . .go see how hard Charles Tillman is laughing right now. That overrated schlub still has no idea where on earth Berrian went to. If Tillman wants to find him, he can start by watching highlights of the 11th 99-yard play in National Football League history. He may or may not actually appear in the frame, I'm not sure.

What a great Sunday of football. . .from the Packers urinating all over themselves during the early games to the Vikings dealing a division rival a Grade A butt-whomping this evening, it's a good day to be a fan of the Beloved Purple.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Minnesota Vikings are in first place in the NFC North. Will it last for four more weeks? Heck, I don't know. . .but I do know that it feels pretty damn good right now.

And, since I'm pretty positive that we set a site record for comments this evening, let me bust out the "roll" call for who participated in the thread and how many comments they had. This is the first time I've had to break this out, and it's actually kind of cool to see. Naturally, I had the most comments, but a lot of folks did a lot of contributing as well. Here's the full tally as of about 30 seconds ago:

Warriors

This game was decided about who wanted to be men on the field today. Allen and the D line completely dominated this game. AD looked into the jaws of a very formidable defense and said, “Not today. This day I am one yard better than you.” Sapp told himself I am better than my mistake today. Gus told the world I am not perfect, but when it counts I am just enough. Berrian said you are fools to let me go, now you will pay. The Vikings said we will win this game, and put an exclamation point up tonight. Go Purple. SKOL.

You got that right! Last night I saw a Vikings team that didn’t look like a bunch of kids on the field any more, they kinda looked like a vintage Viking veteran team that lives down in the trenches and is ready to step toe-to-toe. Not sure why, or even how, but for some reason, it looked like the Vikes grew up last night. I haven’t seen that look in the Purple for a long, long time, it was awesome to see.

Classic Vikings Football...

This game tonight reminded one of the days of the NFC Central “Black and Blue” Division. The Throw-back uniforms (they should wear them the rest of the year!), the superhuman effort on the goal line stand in the second quarter (was that Vintage Vikings, or what?), the long bomb after the stop (kinda reminded one of #84, didn’t it?), the ability to keep the mistakes to a minimum and overcome them, and the smashmouth running of Adrian Peterson (do you think he could have dragged anymore Bears down the field than he did?) and Chester Taylor. This one was SWEET! FIRST PLACE! Four more games to go! Come on guys, get that smell of blood and put the hammer down!

NFL Gameday Final on NFL Network

used Gonzo’s line about the Bears not being owned by the McCaskey’s, but by Adrian Peterson. At least I think it was Gonzo who said it first…..either that or you need to fess up to a little plaigarism Mr. Gonzo.

So they’re stealing my material, damn it. (-:

A Great Monday

Some tenuous moments, but that goal line stand was friggin’ AWESOME. Take THAT, bitches!!!

We won despite Childress. He once again wanted to run out the game clock on every possession, but dangit, that Peterson guy just wouldn’t stop getting those pesky first downs.

I like what Jared Allen said at the end of the game – recognizing that we only beat Detroit 12-10 at home, so they’re not to be taken lightly. Focus, boys! SKOL VIKES!

I Need A Laptop!

My computer is on the other side of the house from the Living Room, so it’s nearly impossible for me to watch the game and get my two cents worth in here at the same time.

Great game though. I loved the goal line stand, and the ensuing 99 yard TD bomb. That was a dagger in the Bears hearts for sure.

Two Complaints

One, on the Berrian 99 yard TD reception. Don’t hold the ball out before you get to the endzone you putz! Hasn’t anyone learned anything from Leon Lett’s boneheaded play in Super Bowl XXVII?

And Greenway needs to learn to recognize when the ball is coming and get his head turned. That TD pass was frustrating because if Greenway had turned his head, he could have batted the ball away easily.

Sorry I dont really contribute on the game threads……..when I watch the game its ALL i do. I dont blog, I dont check my fantasy. I watch the vikings and thats it. That and scream at the television for a variety of reasons……

like when gus got cheap shot’ed on third goal after taking 4 steps! That was terrible. We got screwed over so bad by that…….that when lovie smith got cute and went for it on 4th down in the first half Karma got pissed off and started giving us the breaks. Not taking anything away from the team since they did play well. They played a solid game from top to bottom, start to finish in all three phases of the game……and even Benny Sapp and the refs couldnt stop us.
