Yes, ladies and gentlemen, another Sunday of football is upon us. At this point, while knowing that the Vikings probably don't have a heck of a lot more wins coming this season, we can hope every week that they can screw things up for the teams that do, starting this week against a very worthy opponent in the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders are part of an AFC West race that, by the end of the day on Monday, could see all four teams with 5-5 records. The Vikings, on the other hand, are in the best division in the NFL and are already looking at playing for draft position, looking at having to blow up basically their entire operation and start over from scratch.
So, what do the Vikings have to do to pull off what would be a considerable upset in this one?
1) Peterson, Peterson, Peterson - Yes, Adrian Peterson is really good. We know that. Everybody knows that. Knowing that and doing something about it, however, are two different animals. The Raiders are 25th in the National Football League against the run this year, allowing 132.4 yards/game and an average of 5.2 yards/carry. That latter ties them for worst in the NFL in that department. With the Vikings' defense in the state it's currently in, their best bet is to shorten the game with Peterson. This will be the first time that Adrian Peterson has ever faced the Raiders. . .the last time these teams played in 2007, he was nursing a knee injury. . .so we'll see what he's got for the Silver and Black.
2) Keep taking care of the football - You know which team has committed the fewest turnovers in the National Football League thus far in 2011? Why, the answer is none other than your Minnesota Vikings, who have just eight turnovers this season through their first nine games (five interceptions thrown, three fumbles lost), and have an overall takeaway/giveaway ratio of +4 on the season. In fact, there are fourteen teams in the NFL this year with positive take/give ratios. . .13 of them have winning records. Minnesota does not. In any case, the Raiders are currently at -5 in the take/give figures, having given the ball away eighteen times this season, with fourteen of those coming via the interception. If the Vikings can take care of the football while forcing a turnover or two in this one, it will go a long ways towards an upset victory.
3) Stay focused - Yes, the Vikings took a butt-whipping last week, and they've had a short week to get back on the horse and try to prepare for the Raiders. Oakland, on the other hand, hasn't played since November 10, when they beat the Chargers on Thursday night football. These are the sorts of times that your veteran leadership. . .guys like Jared Allen, Steve Hutchinson, and so forth. . .needs to step up and tell everyone else to keep their heads up and to fight until the final whistle. The Vikings might not win a lot going forward in 2011, but they can sure as heck be competitive and not mail it in like we've seen teams do in the past.
For this one, we obviously get the pleasure of keeping an eye on Peterson and Allen as they pursue personal marks. Allen is still on pace to set the single-season sack record, and he's going to have his work cut out for him against a Raider offensive line that has only allowed 11 sacks so far this season. Peterson, on the other hand, is still chasing the Vikings' career rushing record. He is currently 190 yards behind Robert Smith, which means that he's going to get that record this year (barring injury), it's just a matter of when. While I wouldn't expect him to get it today, by any stretch, he could take a step towards it against what has been a soft Raider run defense. The funny thing about Peterson getting the record is that it took Smith eight seasons and 98 career games to amass those stats. Peterson is going to break his record before he concludes his fifth full season in the league.
We've heard all the "Suck for Luck" or "Fall Flat for Matt (Kalil)" stuff over the past few weeks. While high draft picks are nice and everything, screw that. I'm hoping for as many wins as possible from here on out. The draft picks will sort themselves out later on.
SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!!!

That's the way we see it coming at us too. The Raiders Defense is Jekyll Hyde but not random as to which manifests
Our D generally plays poorly after a delay (bye week, Thursday night game) and after a win (feast-famine syndrome). However, the Raiders as a whole play well when they need to, i.e. to keep the 1 game divisional lead. Now that Denver upset NYJs, Oakland must win this one or sink into the list of indistinguishables. Therefore, I expect Mr. Hyde, that’s probably the positive Raider character on Defense. The O will be fine if we protect Carson Bomber.

I love the Vikings
And I love wearing my Jersey after a big win. But at what point do we not mind losing so much because it increases our draft slot? Because come April, if we have the 5th pick due to one game better than whoever, and we lose out on Matt and Martin, is anyone gonna care that we beat Oakland?
I do wanna say that in no way am I an advocate for tanking, because I’m highly competitive but at some point we just have to look at the bright side.

The losses are going to bug us, regardless
We always want our team to win, obviously. But you don’t get to draft a truly transcendent player unless you suck. It happened when we got Adrian Peterson.
I know we’re not competitive now, but the losses will still bug us. . .they just might not bug us as much, I guess.

I’ll be pissed if they win themselves out of a top-5 pick and miss the best lineman of the draft.
High picks don't guarantee great players, while it helps your chances
it’s still a game of roulette. I wanna see this team come out, play hard and kick the shizz outa Carsen Palmer. GO VIKES!!

Increase your chances especially in a strong draft IMO. We have the chance to come away with

I hear ya'
and I guess that if we’re going to win another game or two, it’s better that the wins come from inter-conference games.
Ponder
17 for 28 , 197 yds 1TD, I Int – A.P. 131 yds rushing (really hope Ponder runs a few quick screens today.)
"I saw a wino eating grapes and I was like, dude, you have to wait!" - Mitch Hedberg
Interesting note.
Cam(puter) Newton puts of gaudy numbers, but it seems like he is very easy to rattle. If you think about it, winning has been easy for him since high school, and now that he is put on a struggling team it is affecting his psyche. He’s pushing too much and not reacting well to the pressure if you carefully examine his demeanor in press conferences/quotes. I think our guy, CP, has had to battle more adversity throughout this career and therefor what you see is what you guy. A guy with less physical talent than the likes of Cam, but a much better head on his shoulders and heart in his chest.

Totally agree, I'll take Ponder over the long haul everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
I think he’s a much better “character” guy, and I think his FB IQ is much better than Cam’s.

Quick question since we have a half hour to blow.
Yesterday CCNorseman wrote this on a thread:
We’ll have cap space next year
Assuming they cut ties with McNabb and Winfield (two guys in the top 5 of cap space), we’ll have plenty of cap space to work with.
I’d like to bring up someone else. Does anyone think that it might be time to replace Longwell (after the season)? He’s been great during his time here but his leg isn’t what it once was and I certainly there has to be someone out there much cheaper who can kick farther. These are the contract figures that CC linked.: (It’s really interesting)

To be fair
The roughing the passer and defenseless receiver hit were both pretty bad calls. But then so was the missed horsecollar. And it would’ve been if the Vikes were robbed a down. These refs are just incompetent in general.
it was incorrectly called not a bad call
should have been called a helmet to helmet personal foul not a defenseless receiver personal foul, still needed a flag there
