| Final Score: | Vikings 44, Giants 7 | ||
Yes, folks, it's nearly time to kick off the finale of the 2009 NFL regular season, and it's pretty much a playoff atmosphere in Minneapolis this afternoon as they hose the New York Giants. A win this afternoon will put the Vikings in a position to potentially still have the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs, pending the outcome of the late game between Dallas and Philadelphia. The Giants don't have a lot to play for, but as we saw on Monday night, that doesn't already mean anything. However, today's game is in the comfy confines of the Metrodome, where the Vikings are 7-0 this year and have yet to score less than 27 points in a game.
So what are the keys to victory today for a Viking team that's very much in need of one, having dropped three of their last four?
1) Win the battle up front. . .on both sides - The Vikings' offensive line has spent the better part of the last month or so getting embarrassed by everyone that lines up across from them. The Vikings' defensive line has registered only five sacks in the last four games, and looks like a shell of what they were earlier in the season (when they racked up 40 sacks in the first 11 games of the year). If the Vikings want to have any hope of winning today. . .and any hope of making any noise in the post-season. . .those things both need to change. All of the big dogs up front on both sides of the ball need to start earning their rather sizable paychecks, starting today.
2) Take care of the football - The Giants are down both their starting CBs, one of their starting safeties, their starting middle linebacker, and one of their starting defensive tackles. The Giants are coming into this one seriously undermanned on the defensive side of the ball. However, that doesn't mean that Minnesota can be careless with the football, and especially Adrian Peterson. Although I guess we can take some consolation in the fact that Peterson hasn't fumbled against a non-NFC North opponent all season long (all 7 of his fumbles have come against Green Bay, Detroit, and Chicago). If the Vikings don't turn the ball over, they should win this football game.
3) Take what the Giants give you - The Vikings' coaching staff. . .and we as fans. . .need to realize that there is no "magic number" of rushes or anything like that for this team any more. This is no longer a "running team." If the Giants load up to stop the run and we need to throw 40 times, then that's what has to happen. If they drop extra guys into coverage to stop the pass, then we need to pound Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor. That goes for Brad Childress, Brett Favre, Darrell Bevell, and everybody else on the Vikings' sidelines. Don't try to force things. . .just go with what works.
Pat Williams should be back for the Vikings today, and Antoine Winfield has told ESPN that he's going to play today "in short yardage situations only." Nice. . .most teams have short-yardage defensive linemen. . .we have a short-yardage defensive back. Oh, well. . .whatever it takes to finally get him right somehow.
It's an hour and a half until game time, ladies and gentlemen. Hope to see you all back here for all of today's action!
SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!!!

SKOL VIKINGS! Here's to a fresh start.
Let’s see the REAL Vikings today – not the pretenders that have been showing up the past 3-4 games. C’mon Vikes, live up to your vast potential.
And, for the record, GO COWBOYS!! ;)
Think we all do....GO 'BOYS (CHOKE CHOKE)

Well dispite the fact this game is on at the same time as my Dolphins game....I get both of them
so I’ll be flipping back and forth. While my Giants fan brother has been feuding with me about who will be winning the Vikings-Giants game, I’m sure the Vikes will pull through.

im in
NY so i get giants pregame stuff
and on radio they are not too opputnistic but feel that the giants will still play very hard today
There are two teams I've traditionally disliked.
Obviously the Green Bay Packers growing up with the Dallas Cowboys shoved in my face. On any given weekend I root against them both, but the day I’m actually rooting for Dallas. It is leaving a foul bitter taste in my mouth however. Do any of you feel the same way?
It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a Viking to raze a village.
I'm not hating the Cowboys as much as I once did
The past several years of futility on their part coupled with the fact that I quite like Tony Romo’s approach and attitude along with the fact that he was my main Fantasy Football QB a couple of years in a row (and did very well for me), has made me dislike them less in recent years.
CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!!!!!!!!!

Vikings need to win and win big. Well, at this point I think we would all just take a win. Been a terrible month, hopin’ the Vikings offense starts off where they left off, and that the defense shows up ready tackle anything that moves.

Thankfully he seems to have covered it up well.
Yeah, same here.
But it is a new week and we’re at home so maybe that’ll help him focus more on ball protection. At least he’s breaking some runs which is important, too.
True that
If we can have AD breaking runs and protecting the ball, dangerous…

Harvin to inside the 10
Didn’t look like he was really the intended receiver on that pass. . .but we’ll take it.

the catch was questionable as in-bounds
on the pass that was thrown by favre when he was over the LOS
And make it first and goal
As one of the Giants’ linebackers is offsides by about three yards.

Me too, actually, LA Viking.
The Vikes cost me dearly in FF due to that awful game. LOL
Yes we need some help on seed, but man oh man when they are clicking.....
No team is able to stand up to them I think….so seed only matters for the bye week….
