VIKINGS DRAFT WEEKEND IN REVIEW; A-
Posted on 30 Apr 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
Rick Spielman and the Vikings getting an A- from me or anyone else is unheard of, but they deserve it. NFL fans around the country watched live coverage of this year's draft and everyone knew that QB's Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III would be the first two picks. The first shot at any kind of suspense was the Vikings at #3. Less than an hour before the draft began, Minnesota traded bac...

VIKINGS RELEASE SCHEDULE, BUT LOSE STADIUM
Posted on 17 Apr 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
Fans all around the country look forward to the release of the NFL schedule. This year, Minnesota fans probably don't care very much. Sure, the NFL released the schedule for all 32 teams. Yes, there are specials on both ESPN and the NFL Network discussing the match-ups and potential dramas that could unfold during the 2012 season. But for Viking fans it's not about the 32 teams, it's ab...

VIKINGS OFFSEASON HAS BEEN TURBULENT
Posted on 6 Mar 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
The Minnesota Vikings are in the middle of what might be the most important offseason in franchise history. I seem to remember saying that last year, but then the new stadium got pushed back, the Vikes drafted Christian Ponder as an answer to their QB question, so that situation still remains questionable, and oh yeah, Adrian Peterson blew out his knee. So where does Minnesota stand right n...

Sunday marks the first day of a 2012 and unfortunately, the final game of the season for the Vikings. Thoughts of the postseason have been gone since about week 5. This week 17 game against the Bears will also be the last time Jimmy Kleinsasser puts on the purple to play a game.

Posted on 23 Dec 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
As the Indianapolis Colts beat the Houston Texans on Thursday night, fans in Indy probably started getting nervous. Throughout the season writers, broadcasters, and fans have been speculating about whether or not the Colts would, or should draft Stanford QB Andrew Luck with the #1 overall pick in next April's draft. Peyton Manning has been out the entire season and his future health is unce...

CHRISTIAN PONDER LOOKS LIKE A ROOKIE
Posted on 12 Dec 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
Sunday against the Lions, Minnesota demonstrated why they are a 2-11 team. They had a rookie QB make mistake after mistake. The Viking's defense played well, but gave up a bunch of points after turnovers. And the officials missed calls, the biggest of which was a facemask on Joe Webb on the final play of the game. Yep, all of these things happen to a losing team. These are things that...

DISAPPOINTMENT STRIKES AGAIN
Posted on 5 Dec 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
What's the difference between a good team and a bad team? Good teams will find a way to win a game while bad teams will continually seek out ways to lose. The Denver Broncos have transformed themselves into a good team this season since making Tim Tebow their starting quarterback. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings have solidified themselves as one of the NFL's worst teams in 2011....

VIKINGS WAIVE GOODBYE TO MCNABB; FOCUS ON TEBOW
Posted on 2 Dec 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.

McNabb stated that he asked for this and Minnesota granted his wish. Donovan is hoping that he can catch on with one of the teams that desperately need help at the QB position and is also contending for the playoff...

THE NFL MISSES RANDY MOSS
Posted on 26 Nov 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
Thanksgiving weekend is always a great time to overdose on food and football. While a couple of the college games were entertaining, the NFL action so far has been lacking. On paper, at least two of the games should have been compelling, but the only game that was really close was the one that should have been the worst; Miami at Dallas. The Green Bay vs Detroit game was never re...

Posted on 18 Nov 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
As weird as it sounds, it's true; the Oakland Raiders are the darlings of the NFL. With the unfortunate demise of their controversial owner Al Davis, the signing of the retired Carson Palmer, and the team's first real competitive feel in almost a decade, the Raiders have garnered the attention of fans all around the league. The bad news for them is that they are coming to Minneso...

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE; VIKINGS LOOK TO END GREEN BAY’S RUN AT PERFECTION
Posted on 14 Nov 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
The Green Bay Packers are undefeated and a big favorite to win both the NFC and the Super Bowl. On the other hand, the Minnesota Vikings are 2-6 and just hoping that their new QB, Christian Ponder, continues to progress and that their stadium issue is resolved shortly. The two teams meet tonight in Wisconsin and the game will certainly be more entertaining that stats would suggest....
