After being at home since their Week 9 bye, the Vikings finally have to travel away from Minneapolis, heading to Arizona to face the Cardinals. Both teams lead their divisions going into this one, and the Beloved Purple can lock up a playoff berth for themselves with a victory tonight, as well as put some distance between themselves and Arizona in the race for a first-round post-season bye. After playing some pretty bad teams over the course of the past three weeks, now they have to face one of the NFL's better squads.
So, what are the keys to victory for the Beloved Purple this evening?
1) Get after the opposing quarterback - It's still unknown at this point whether the Arizona offense will be run by Kurt Warner or Matt Leinart this evening. In either case, the Vikings are going to have to get pressure on the quarterback. One thing to remember about the Cardinals is that their line is a little backwards, with their better offensive tackle at RT rather than LT, as the left-handed Leinart should be starting. Their normal LT is also out with an injury, so Jared Allen should be licking his chops going into this one. The Four Norsemen of the Apocalypse are going to have to get pressure and allow the back seven to cover the Cardinals' outstanding group of receivers and tight ends.
2) Take what the Cardinals give you - The Cardinals' pass defense has been pretty bad this season, ranking 29th in the NFL in terms of yardage allowed at 258.3 yards/game. Their rush defense has been alright (13th in the NFL), but if they attempt to stack the box in order to take away Adrian Peterson, the Vikings' red-hot passing game is going to have to be able to take advantage of that. Fortunately for the Vikings, they're riding a stretch that saw Brett Favre named as NFC Offensive Player of the Month for November after averaging almost 300 yards and 3 touchdowns a game. If the Cardinals are determined not to let Peterson beat them, the odds are pretty good that Favre will.
3) Win the turnover battle - The Vikings have averaged exactly one turnover per game in their first 11 games of the year, and that's a trend they need to have continue if they want to have success against a team the caliber of Arizona. The lack of turnovers by the Vikings have them sporting a +8 takeaway/giveaway ratio on the season, while the Cardinals enter the game at -4 (17 takeaways, 21 giveaways). Both Warner and Leinart are susceptible to turning the ball over if they're pressured, which makes it that much more important to get pressure on them from the very start.
As usual, the game is going to kick off in about an hour and a half or so. We had a pretty good amount of participation in the open thread for the less meaningful (for us) games, and hopefully we can carry that over to the Game Thread here. The Saints won today, so the Vikings need a victory to keep pace with them. Here's hoping it takes place!
Couple of reminders. . .please try to keep the pictures to a minimum so as to keep from slowing down the thread for some folks. Also, please keep the swearing to a bare minimum as well. "Damn" is okay. . .most of the "harder stuff" is not.
Other than that, let's enjoy the game!
SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!!!

This is one hell of a late game to be watching across the pond :/
Since I have been on the bandwagon way to long already, no way I will hop off now :)
Still trying to find inactives
Not seeing any anywhere yet.

45 mins to kick-off :)
Looking forward to this. I hope Winfield’s up to playing, he’s had a longer than normal recovery period already. Makes me wonder if there was something else wrong with him, other than turf-toe.
Watching the Redskins snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, again and again and again, makes me that much more appreciative of the Vikings this year :))
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!
Just to be clear for the new folks
the screen name is based off of the St Louis Cardinals baseball team.
Skol, bitches!!

I absolutely agree
If the Vikings can get after the QB and disrupt whoever it is, this game will be an easy win. The Cardinals need time to get their passing game going, their receivers are big play threats, and they get the big plays by getting open down the field. If we can force them into 3 step drops and hit the QB throughout the night, then we stand to have a really high chance of winning this game.
The other important thing about this game is protecting Brett and giving him plenty of time to throw it, if he has to force some throws, it could be bad for us. Dominque R-C is one helluva ball hawk at CB for the Cardinals, and he could make the game interesting if we can’t protect Favre.
Winfield...
I think they gonna bring him back after the next bye week!!! (guess is good as any)…
the thing
about winfield is he is going to need some time to catch up he’ll be rusty
so he will need ~3 games to get back up to speed
Ian Johnson
okay one more time
does anyone know that when the Vikings win the super bowl this year does the players on the practice squad get super bowl rings
Sage
Why is Sage always inactive? Favre is the iron man but Jackson has a glass jaw. Who is the emergency QB?
Peace out, Girl Scouts
I’m off to my Dad’s to watch the game. SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

practice squad rings
sorry bout the incomplete post, my fav viking practice squad player of all time, Martin Nance was on the steelers P.Squad last year, he got a ring….. His cousin is one of my best friends.. Thanks to Martin I got to see a game in the dome against the bears a few years ago….
I think 6-7+ passes defended will be worth more than 3-4 sacks and however many hurries would come with that. Kurt Warner’s strength has always been making quick reads, and he doesn’t need much time to throw it to the talent he has at WR. So going after Warner still plays to his strength rather than taking something away, as quality coverage and plays on the ball would do.
Good evening fellas
I need your permission to jump aboard the Vikings bandwagon for the rest of the year.
You have a really fun team to watch and being a Chiefs fan isn’t alot of fan this year.
If it helps, I predicted you to be the SB winner in August.

"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
4 team playoff
Why do they make it so hard. Rotate 2 bowl games as semis followed by a National Title game. It doesn’t ruinthe Bowl games and gives teams like Boise and Utah (last year ) a shot.
They are so hung on 8 teams. 4 guarantees the top 2 are in
It would be so easy...
To use the existing Bowl games as part of a Playoff. And it would actually restore the prestige of the Bowl games. They mean jack shit since the creation of the BCS Champ. game.
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
That is what I am saying
It makes the big bowls more attractive. You could even package and rotate the major bowls and make one of them the championship.
At least going with 4 would be a start that doesn’t take a genious to put together. * down the road

I say...
Restore the old conference affiliations…
Big 10 Champ v. Pac 10 Champ in the Rose
SEC Champ v Wild Card in the Sugar
Big 12 v. ACC in the Orange
At-large v At-Large in the Fiesta
Take the 4 winners, and have a two week playoff. Only 2 additional games. A true champion. What’s the problem?

The Cards are so Jekyll and Hyde...
They have the exact type of offense that could really hurt us. However, a semi-concussed Warner could throw 4 picks tonight as well. I wouldn’t touch this one in Vegas with a 10 foot poll.

just take Kurt down before he can throw it…. all night long. every snap…. yeah, we might be in a bit of trouble

On every first and second down.
Need to take advantage of that at some point.

We've got 7 linemen tonight
And now a couple of them are hurt.
Nice punt by Kluwe, and the Cardinals are stuck inside their own 10.
Vikings 7, Cardinals 7, 2:45 remaining in the first quarter.

I guess injury free means you lose an all pro CB for 6 games
Jared Allen is to football what Jason Voorhees is to Lake Crystal.
Percy Harvin is Devin Hester, except someone very smart decided to teach him how to catch and run routes.
Gonna be hard with half our line missing

gonna start his bread and butter bull shit again. 2 nd and 11 and he runs it off guard. Play the diversity we started to the last few weeks in our play calling
Not that easy...
You call a 7 step drop right now with whoever the “F” is Cooper right now, and Favre gets murdered.

I'm still worried... :(
I realize it’s still early but I’m seeing some bad things that need to change – particularly the running situation. THey’re stuffing us really good right now. :(
And I'm not wrong.
Thanks for not showing up to play today, defense. Things better change quick or this game will be a blowout in the wrong direction. \:( This is why having 3 home games against crappy competition is a bad, bad thing..especially when followed by an Away game against a decent opponent.
That being said, I think we all know that we’re a better team than the Cardinals, regardless of what happens tonight.
The main thing to worry about.
Is that the Cards are doing too good of a job defending the run. If that keeps up, we could be in trouble. :(
Crap play-calling strikes again.
Should’ve been a nice screen/pass to the flat, or a slant in the end zone. We have nothing to fear from their secondary – not with all of our weapons.
