FIRE RICK SPIELMAN
Posted on 6 Jan 2013 by Sean Eckhardt.
Not because of Joe Webb. Not due to the loss to Green Bay. Rick Spielman should be fired for a host of other reasons. Taking Christian Ponder with the 12th overall pick in the 2011 draft is a good place to start. The fact that the Vikings don't have a legitimate #1 wide receiver is another huge issue that this GM has failed to address. Minnesota fans should be happy today, because the...

Elway’s Tebow Dilemma
Posted on 5 Jan 2012 by Steven Keys.
John Elway’s in a real pickle. On the one hand, he let himself get swept-up in Tebowmania, making a 2012 verbal commitment, of sorts, to his 2nd-year starting QB: “Tim Tebow's not going anywhere…he's going to be a Bronco.” (AP / 12-20). And he surprisingly did this when the Tebow tide was just starting to ebb. On the other hand, since the Broncos’ VP of football OPs jumped on board th...

VIKINGS LOOK TO SEND OUT KLEINSASSER WITH A WIN
Posted on 30 Dec 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
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. The 13 year veteran, who spent his entire career with Minnesota, announced that he is retiring from the NFL ...

It’s Time To Start Joe Webb
Posted on 28 Sep 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
The Minnesota Viking's season is already over as they approach week #3. This is disappointing to be sure, but unfortunately it is a fact. 0-3 teams don't make the playoffs, and teams that consistently give up big leads don't make the NFL postseason either. The Donovan McNabb experiment has been a failure. There is no there way to say it. The Vikings need somebody else to line up at qu...

Vikings Miss The Mark With Ponder
Posted on 29 Apr 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
The first round of the 2011 NFL Draft is complete and there were definitely some surprises. One of the biggest shocks for this writer was the Minnesota Vikings taking Florida State QB Christian Ponder with the 12th overall pick. I wasn't really high on any of the QB's that went ahead of him either. Ponder was the fourth quarterback taken in the first round. The three that went...

Vikes / Favre Ought Take a Mulligan
Posted on 1 Apr 2011 by Steven Keys.
Mul-li-gan: a free shot sometimes given a golfer in informal play when the previous shot was poorly hit (Merriam-Webster). I don’t golf. I may be the only man in America not living under a bridge who doesn’t hit the links come springtime. But I know the golf term, mulligan. When a tee-shot is so bad, so uncharacteristic it’d be hasty and foolish to play it through. So you give you...

THE VIKINGS TRADING FOR KEVIN KOLB WOULD BE A MISTAKE
Posted on 22 Mar 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
Andy Reid would be an excellent car salesman. The Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach has been building up the value of his backup quarterback to potential buyers during discussions with the media this week. There are reports that the Eagles have already received an offer that contains a first round draft pick as part of the deal. Reid came out and said that the team knows that they h...

WINDS OF CHANGE SWIRL FOR THE VIKINGS AND THE NFL
Posted on 3 Mar 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
Stability is not a word I would use to describe anything going on in the world of the Minnesota Vikings today. The NFL seems on the verge of a lockout, although the owners and players did agree to a 24 hour extension earlier today. Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was not offered a tender, making him a free agent once the labor issues are resolved. That is certainly not a shock. Pa...

Lions Finish Off Vikings to End Disappointing 2010 Season
Posted on 3 Jan 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
This was not how it was all supposed to turn out. After losing to the Detroit Lions 20-13, the Minnesota Vikings finished the 2010 season in last place in the NFC North at 6-10. This comes after two consecutive division crowns. The game yesterday went how much of the season did, as the Lions were pretty much in control throughout the game. The story for Minnesota on offe...

An Eagles Christmas Story (We Waited Two Days?)
Posted on 29 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
It may have been the most over-hyped game of the NFL season – especially by local media (did Philly NBC10 really have to send their local sports team down to interview the network football analysts? What was the deal with Howard Eskin's floor-legnth pastiche of animal pelts?). Definitely the most over-hyped Tuesday Night game in NFL history (reminder that the last one 64 years ago happe...

What’s Next for Eagles? Playoffs? Favre?
Posted on 23 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Vick voted NFL Player of the Week for third time Last week's New Miracle in the New Meadowlands was incredible. In the NFL, you are only as good as your next game. So, while Eagles fans have been celebrating and dancing in the streets or thumping their chests screaming “We're Number One”, Eagles coaches have been devising a game plan for the Minnesota Vikings. The Las Vegas oddmaker...

Chicago Bears Crush the Minnesota Vikings, Clinch NFC North Division
Posted on 21 Dec 2010 by Debbie Baratz.
In a game played under icy and snowy conditions on a neutral and questionable field, the Chicago Bears (10-4) persevered and handily beat the Minnesota Vikings (5-9). With the win, the Bears clinched the NFC North Division and will go to the playoffs for the first time since 2006. It was an evening with historical significance. The Vikings' senior gunslinger quarterback Brett Favre surprise...
