Minnesota Vikings At Washington Redskins - Third Quarter Open Thread

It's been pretty and ugly, in alternating doses, but the Vikings and Redskins are tied at ten as we get ready for the second half at FedEx Field.

Jared Allen got a sack in the second quarter, giving him 18.5 for the year. He is now 2.5 behind Chris Doleman's single-season record for the Vikings, and 4 behind Michael Strahan's single-season NFL record.

Adrian Peterson had 35 yards and a score in the first half, meaning he's 71 yards behind Robert Smith in his chase to become the Minnesota Vikings' all-time rushing yardage leader. He was 106 behind Smith going into this game.

And that's where we stand in this one, folks. This team has now played 38 consecutive quarters of football without an interception, although we are +1 in the takeaway/giveaway ratio today, thanks to Brian Robison's strip sack of Rex Grossman early on.

It's time for the second half, folks. Enjoy!

Peterson and Ponder's injuries have spoiled my Christmas

But Webb and Gerhart are trying to cheer me up

At QB...

…but who knows on what team? His agent should be insisting on a trade.

we should trade the OC first, any OC that doesn't droll at the talent of Webb, Peterson, Harvin is brain dead

like Musgrave is at times

Redskins look like they're outgassed now

and Vikes have a full tank to own the 4th quarter.

RUDOLPH THE ROO-KIE TIGHT END

Had some very sticky hands
And if you ever saw him
he prob’ly has some sweaty glands

All of the other tight ends
are used to dropping easy throws
but not our rookie Ky-le
not even on a pass by Joe

then one crappy Christmas Eve
Ap’s knee got killed
Rudolph with your hands go great
won’t you catch a score…it’s fate

THen all the Vikings loved him
and they shoute out with glee
Rudolph the rookie tight end
we’re so happy that we have to pee!

Merry Christmas everyone, ho-ho-ho!!

lets wait until he plays at least one game before calling him the best ever.

I'd prefer the Vikings draft an OL before WR or CB.

Protecting the QB and solidifying the running game is better to get at first.

by hoegher on Dec 24, 2011 2:21 PM CST reply actions  

try and load up on 2nd and 3rd round picks.

there isn’t 1 player in draft that will make this team a playoff team all alone.
we need 3-5 OL picks
2-3 WR
and 50eleven DB’s

This might come down to who gets the ball last...

Webb or the Redskins.
