Vikes better figure out how to run the ball and keep Rogers off the field.

Can't wait to be sitting in US Bank Stadium at kickoff on Sunday night. Packers are favored by 2 according to the lines I saw last night.



I want to give you a thumbs up for going, but then you mentioned the Packers being favored....

I'd hate for the stadium to be opened with a loss... but have a great time. :suds:

Interesting stat... Adrian rushed for 31 yards @ San Fran yesterday... and did the same yesterday. Not too worried about our running game. As long as the O-line can open some holes, we should be alright.

Other than the missed hole by AP yesterday, they really didn't give him any lanes. :tsk:

I won't worry about the running game yet. That was their first action all together. I will say, however, that if AP is still with the team next year, they should get him at least a few carries in the preseason.

Probably not, but his splits from Week 1 in years he has played versus those he hasn't are pretty remarkable. Maybe coincidence, but after another shoddy start this year, I'm starting to believe it actually may have an impact.

It matters for sure.
But he started with 31 yards last season and lead the league in the end. I don't like how he dances around more these days though. He has always hit the line full speed, knocking people over as he goes. I noticed last season in the early part of the season he was dancing around trying to juke his way through the line as well. I just hope that's just his way of getting up to speed..I don't like that much..lol

I fully expect to see both these teams in the playoffs no matter what happens this week. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I've never been a Sam Bradford fan but I honestly don't think he has to do that much for the Vikings to win week to week. They have a good enough all around game to get by with a game manager, not saying he couldn't be more than that but as long as he doesn't hurt them they should be fine.

Fucking Vikings, always looking for a horn to blow into:pound:. Hope things are going well @Win TWINS!!! Hated to see Bridgewater injury, hope he has a quick recovery.


Ragnar was not brought back for the new stadium. I always found him to be annoying. Met him a couple of times.

Sounds as though they are going to kick things off with something like this...

There won't be 2 teams from the NFC North this year.... and that has me worried. :sigh:

you sure?

Of course I'm not sure, but history almost dictates it. What is it? Roughly 50% of the previous year's playoff teams won't be there this year?
