So, there's a football game tonight, huh?
Thanks to everyone for making the off-season a great one, and for bearing with me and the site to this point. I haven't always been polite or rational or anything like that, and to the great majority of you, I apologize. I'm just happy as hell to have the season underway
So, what are the keys for the Vikings in tonight's game?
1) Don't believe the hype - If you're the Minnesota Vikings, you're going into a place where they're raising a championship banner tonight, where the crowd is going to be frenzied, and the opponent is going to be pumped up as anything. And you know what? You can make it completely not matter. If you're the Vikings, you know damn well that in your last game of the year, you lost despite being the superior team. You've got to go in thinking that you're STILL the superior team. . .because, quite frankly, you are. Have confidence, don't let the crowd get into your minds or anything like that (a couple of early third down conversions should solve that problem), and do 98% of what you did the last time you played this team.
2) Hit Drew Brees - High, low, early, late, clean, dirty. . .really, who cares? What's going to happen to you. . .you're going to get fined? Pfffffffffffffffffffffft. . .please. Big deal. Oh, and keep Brett Favre upright, too. That would also help a lot.
3) Hold on to the damn football - That "98% of the same thing you did last time" thing I mentioned above? This is the 2% that you shouldn't redo. The Saints' defense led the NFL in turnovers last year. They needed five of them just to hang with the Vikings long enough to get to overtime the last time these two teams met. If the Vikings don't gift the Saints a ton of extra possessions like they did last time, they'll get the result that they should have gotten last time.
I've noticed that not a lot of people are talking about one Adrian Peterson leading into this game. Good. Let him be the most obvious secret weapon ever. AP has gone over 100 yards in each of his first three season openers. Look for him to get that. . .and then some. . .tonight.
We're about three hours from kickoff, folks. The food is hot, the drinks are cold, and this can't possibly get here soon enough. Let's do this thing already so that we can start looking at one of the other 30 NFL teams for a change. I'm tired of black and gold and all this "Who Dat" garbage.
SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!!!

I don't want just a victory.
I want the Saints bloody, tired, fearful, and in the end not wanting to step on the same field as our Vikings. Here is to an emotional release 7 months in the making!!!
Moreso
Shove that Lombardi straight up Greg Williams and S. Payton’s pickled asses.

Come to think of it....
correct me if I am wrong, but, in the past, with a couple weeks or more to go before a game, ALL the experts pick our opponents, and, then suddenly, right before kickoff, the opinions shift somewhat our way. Are you seeing that also?
I dunno...
they are still fellating NO pretty good.

Can't wait for the game tonight!
I was listening to Chicago sports radio today (yeah, I live in bears county, unfortunately) and they asked one of the reporters from the Sun Times where the bears would finish, 3rd or 4rth in the NFC north. He said “2nd because the vikings are going to implode (as evidenced by a massive failure tonight) and finish 3rd with a 6 and 10 record.” I almost drove off the road! Here’s hoping the Vikes win big tonight, so I can call in to 670 tomorrow morning and tell them to cram it with walnuts :).
Even if the Vikings DID finish 6-10
That should still put them ahead of Chicago.
But we all know that the Vikings are as likely to finish 6-10 as the Miami Heat are to miss the NBA playoffs this year.

Agreed! I don't know what he was smoking to think that they were going to beg, borrow, or steal 6 wins!
I doubt they’ll even beat Detroit at home this weekend!

Can't wait!
I have been so wired today that I decided not to drink coffee this morning—I never do that. While I suppose they have their reasons for doing so, even up here in Vikings country 3 out of 4 of the sports guys on the St. Paul paper picked the Saints to win. The lone guy who picked the Vikings was on my shit list for a while after saying that Bryant McKinnie was “solid” on the line, but I may have to reverse my opinion of him now. I’m not sure why the Saints are seen as such heavy favorites, at best, I think they are well-matched. But that just me being nice because I haven’t had sufficient coffee.

SWEET!
I am now, an instrument of violence
I am a vessel of invincibility
I cannot leave this undecided
Stepping down to battle another day
Remember me for all time this
Determination is a vital part of me
Surrender now or be counted
With the endless masses that I will defeat
Come on bring it
Don’t sing it
Better believe it
Broken down till your hope has died
Beat down till victory’s mine
Stand up and show me some pride
And now, are you ready?
Chorus:
I’m the one with the warrior inside
My dominance can’t be denied
Your entire world will turn
Into a battlefield tonight
As I look upon you, through the warrior’s eyes now
I can see the fear
That will ensure my victory this time
I can’t be told to compromise this
They’ll never doubt the body lying at my feet
A most formidable reminder
They will speak my name for eternity
I have no need of any guidance
I am a weapon, powerful beyond belief
Seen through the warrior’s eyes, I
Never need to question, how to defeat you
Come on bring it
Don’t sing it
Better believe it
Broken down till your hope has died
Beat down. Till victory’s mine
Stand up and show me some pride
And now, are you ready?
You can’t hide now
I am the warrior
So decide now
How they’ll remember you
Do not hide now
Act like a warrior
Show your pride now
Solidify your place in time
I’m the one with the warrior inside
The evidence can’t be denied
The entire world will stare
Into this battlefield tonight
As I stand before you with a warrior’s heart now
I can feel the strength that will
Ensure my victory this time

Immigrant Song Lyrics:
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!
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you’d better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.

Agree with Gameplan except
Any player, Vike or Saint that’s gonna take a “dirty” shot at someone deserves to be more than fined. I know it’s football and we all enjoy the BIG hit, but I want to see the good hits, clean hits, and refs and/or players (most likely the latter) take action to stand-up and protect against any cheap shots. I know that none of our Vikes will play the “dirty” game that Greg “Dirtbag” Williams is calling his Aints to play. SKOL Vikes and score often!

Minnesota had two possession
First 1 was 3 straight runs, short of a 1st down…. Punt…
Second was a few good plays, but penalties called it back.. Yet we nearly got into position to gain another first down….
I knew Shappard would play well - he fits in this system perfectly
(i.e. no one else knows how to play the position)
new thread please
700+ comments is making my computer angry
"Sportsmanship is just loser talk for losing."
My main concern on defense
is the HUGE chunks of yardage we give up. We need to tighten up.
2nd quarter belongs to us
So does this game
☠★☪My dream, is to see the Minnesota Vi♛s win a superbowl. USA- the land were dreams come true. ☀ ツ This is our ۩۩house۩

Concerned but there's plenty o' time
Not liking how easily we’re letting them complete passes in our secondary (looks like not a lot has changed in that regard, please hurry back Chris Cook). Other than that we also need to get to Brees a LOT more.
GO VIKES!!
mr. reliability
Minnesota Vikings and Liverpool F.C the two greatest sport teams ever.
