Your thoughts of this weeks game

[Scott K]

With the viking on a wining streak, (1) AP coming off a great game, T-Jack with a decent game, the head coach seeing what happens if you give AP the ball, and a couple good catches by the recievers, will the game be in reach at the 4th quarter? I think the Vikings will play hard to try to prove themselves as a team.

The Vikings offense looked better last week, even playing the bears defense. Although in the end, I think Cowboys by 10, there offense is passing, inwhich is our weak point. I think it will be a good game.

What do you guys think?

[fishinphilth]

I feel that we have a good chance to be in it if they can keep Owens some what contained and Witten too we should be able to stay close with very little mistakes.

AP makes it a lot easier for Jackson to pass. As longs and butter fingers can actually hold on to the ball should be fun to watch. Wait it is football it is always fun to watch.

[Shack]

I think of it as like a distance fog horn, blowing in the night. Blaaaaaaaaa,OOOOOOOOOWWWW!

[walleyes12]

I bleed purple but I think the cowboys passing attack will be too much for the viking secondary. I hope T-Jack can have a geat game, and AP rushes for another big day!! Good Luck Vikes!!

[james_walleye]

The way the vikings play i don't think the outcome will not be decided headed into the 4th quarter. They'll be able too run the ball and there will be opportunities too get some shots in deep, but once again its if any can be complete. You know teams are going too try and load up on the run. And i gotta believe one of these games intsead of getting none or 1 of the 5 deep balls on target he'll get 3 of them and that will be fun. A young QB's game is inconsistent and one of these games the ball will be on target and the recievers will catch em'. But i'd be foolish too predict a win. Cowboys 27-16.

[Scott K]

Well it looks like the Vikings will be on tv again, barely! I will watch the game, it should be a good game, there will be the best 2 running backs playing each other.

As for my thoughts of this weeks game, I think the Vikings will come out ahead this week, and next week of course . Vikings by a touch down!!!!

[IFallsRon]

Over before the end of the first quarter. SD big.

[Flaco651]

Looks like I'm starting Chris Chambers and the SD defense against the Vikes.

[mnwild]

I'm gonna have Rivers, Tomlinson, and Gates going. In another league I will have Rivers, Tomlinson and Chambers.

[TNFL]

I play in three leagues and all total will have V.Jackson, Chambers, gates, LT, and the Chargers DEF going this week. And I also took the Chargers as my Eliminator (suicide/King of the Hill) pick.

Looks like you had a bad week

[zamboni]

Some guy in my FF league dropped Jamal Lewis 2 weeks ago. I quickly picked him up, and was a smiling fool last night- 4 tds + over 100 total yards.

[Scott K]

I think AP will rush for 160 yds, score 2 td's, I think Sharper will have a couple int's, in the end Vikings 27-24.

[lookincalifornia]

sharper does have a way of comming back to haunt the pack, but i see more like 85 rushing yards, and the pack by 10

17-7

[mnwild]

AP 100yrds 1td, about 40 yards receiving.

Favre- 300+yrds passing, 3td's I'll throw in 1 pick

Jenning's will have 100+ yrd receiving with 2 td's

Packers- 27

Vikes- 13

[james_walleye]

Packers might win again but not by 2 TD's. Look for Bollinger too connect again on a few longballs this time. Holcomb missed several opportunities the first game. Bollinger will hit a few and make the pack pay for loading up the box. I think the vikings have a good chance. Momemtum can mean a lot and they have it after last weeks performance. It will be interesting if the vikings try too put heat on Favre like they did against the Chargers. It will not work as well but if you make Favre rush things he throws INT's. It will also be interesting too see how AP does again. I read something that said that AP really worked on being patient and waiting for the crease too open before the chargers. The coaches thought he was at times forcing the issue and not being patient. If the line plays like it did against the chargers AP will run loose all game long again. Its almost as if you dont care if a defense loads up on the run because you can stop him for no gain 2 times in a row and then just 1 crease and forget it, he cuts and you are not catching him. AP will get his, I think Bollinger will get his too with a few downfield shots. Now the question is if the defense can play like it did last week. A viking win wouldnt shock me, but if i had too pick a winner i'd take GB 23-20.

[Mudcutter]

after all the stars shine (Favre, AP) the game will be decided by Crosby or Longwell. How sweet would it be to see Longwell kick a game winner for the Queens at the girl with the curl???

Vikes 22-20

boy, i was way off

[gopher_nation]

I don't think anyone anticipated an outcome this bad. Vikes by 14, what was I thinking??

[Scott K]

How embarrassing, this was the worst game I have seen the Vikings play in about 6 years. Could anything go right? Well the good thing is we should have a really good draft pick this spring. After last week, I had false hopes for this team, not anymore.

[Scott K]

My new favorite team is Detroit, go Lions!!

[The Yeti]

Is Brad Childress the worst coach to ever hit the Vikings?

It's unbearable to watch him run our team each week. It's the end of the game, we're on the verge of a shutout, we could maintain some dignity and at least get some points on the board.

Nope. Not under chilly's watch. Instead of bringing in Longwell (well within his range), 4th and 7 with 51 seconds left. throw a 3 yard pass over the middle when you have no timeouts left.

Unbelievable...

[bottomdweller]

It hurts to watch everytime after a win, its like brad gives the team the week off. We always get the pick of the litter dont we. Hats off to the green and gold they sure were prepared. And played theyre butts off.

[Scott K]

I agree Childress is horrible, but he didnt drop them 4 int's that were handed to our defence, or drop almost every pass thrown to out recievers! I agree there wasnt a game plan, if there was it wasnt very good.

[The Yeti]

Childress could not put a game plan together to save his life!! I have seen so many times this year, at a crucial moment/situation, the camera shows him, looking at his "kick a** offense" playbook, look back to the field, look at the playbook.. complete deer in the headlights..

We got lucky last week. We won't see a game like that again this year. Thats for sure.

[Double D]

I know Brett Favre is a great quarterback, but who else could be that lucky sometimes? Throw a horrible pass that should have been intercepted as soon as it left his hand, bounces off Griffin and Sharper, flies in the air and into a Packer receiver. In the end, it's scored in the books as a TD pass for #4 and John Madden can talk about it later. Face facts, he didn't throw a touchdown pass, folks, he threw an interception that ended up as a touchdown.

By the way, Griffin would have had it if Sharper would have stayed out of there.

[Scott M]

Yeah, I believe Antoine Winfield was correct in his post-game quotes. Green Bay was the better team, but not by 34 points.

Favre gets lucky on that TD and Bollinger gets unlucky when Mewelde tips one right into Charles Woodson's hands.

Well, Viking fans will lament another loss until the purple wins again (maybe next week against a poor Oakland team), and then it will be time to talk about running the table and how good they looked. I've never seen a fan base get so excited after single isolated wins.

[The Yeti]

Sometimes, when single isolated wins, even against horrible teams, is all the Vikes can accomplish, fans will take what they can get.

[196thDLR]

This is absolutely the worst regular season game I have EVER watched the Vikings TRY to play; and against a division opponent! The Vikings were not prepared to play Sunday. The offensive lines blocking schemes, oh yah, what blocking schemes? No offensive game plan, other than to hand off to Peterson, so basically no offensive game plan.

I am beginning to suspect our coaching staff may be just a tad overmatched in this league. I hope that Wilf is in secret negoiations with Marty. I think we have a team that could play pretty good Martyball. His knock is he can't win a playoff game. You don't win many playoff games if you don't get to the playoffs either. At the very least we might be competitive again.

[Whoaru99]

Yesterday's game was a real doozie.

And I thought the Vikes had a chance to go in and win.

Good thing the beer was cold and the wings were hot...
