MINNESOTA’S BULLDOZER RUNS OVER ANOTHER OPPONENT
Posted on 17 Dec 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
All Day. The name, or in this case the nickname, says it all. Adrian Peterson simply plowed through the St Louis Rams all day on Sunday. There is no other way to describe it. The Minnesota Vikings took down the Rams, 36-22, but most of the team simply hopped on #28 and enjoyed the ride. For most human running backs, getting 100 yards on 24 carries would be a good day. AD got 212 y...

NOT DEAD YET
Posted on 10 Dec 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
The Minnesota Vikings might not make the playoffs, but the Chicago Bears might be in bigger danger of not making the postseason. The Vikings took down the Bears Sunday, 21-14. There were two continuing themes during the game. 1) Jay Cutler was being hit hard and often. 2) Adrian Peterson was running hard and fast. AD might not win awards this year, but he might rush for 2000 angry yar...

IT’S TIME TO BENCH CHRISTIAN PONDER AND START JOE WEBB
Posted on 8 Nov 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
The time has come to make a tough decision. The Minnesota Vikings and Head Coach Leslie Frazier have to decide if they are satisfied with being a team in a “rebuilding” mode, or if they want to go after a winning record and a potential playoff berth. If they want the latter, Frazier has to get Christian Ponder off the field. It's that simple. The second year QB has severely ...

VIKINGS ARE IN FIRST PLACE…, NO THEY REALLY ARE
Posted on 1 Oct 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
After four weeks of the NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings are 3-1 and in first place in the NFC North. They are ahead of the Packers, Lions, and the Bears, at least until Chicago visits Dallas tonight. This is the first time the guys in purple have been atop the division since winning it in 2009. Nationally, nobody gave this team a chance to even compete. After the Vikings won in Detroi...

LIVE BY THE SWORD, DIE BY THE SWORD
Posted on 17 Sep 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
Minnesota made all kinds of mistakes in Indianapolis on Sunday. The biggest one was leaving :24 seconds on the clock after they had made another heroic comeback in the fourth quarter. That proved to be more than enough time for Andrew Luck to put his team in position for the winning field goal. And did you really think Adam Vinatieri was going to miss. 53 yards. Chip shot for the grea...

VIKINGS EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS
Posted on 23 Aug 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
What if? That is the question. The Minnesota Vikings are a team that most experts think very little of. A lot of Viking fans aren't expecting too much this season either. What if all of these people are wrong? What if this team looks as good in the regular season as it has so far during the preseason? Could Minnesota actually make a run at the playoffs? Sure. The NFL preseason i...

VIKES FIRST PRESEASON GAME IS……, ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT
Posted on 11 Aug 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
The Minnesota Vikings are in unfamiliar territory. As they enter the 2012 season, not much is expected of them, at least by most experts. Christian Ponder is entering his second year, AP has yet to join the team in regular practice, and the offensive line is completely revamped. On the defensive side things are a bit more stable, but there will still be plenty of new faces to check out in...

PERCY HARVIN’S BACK AND FORTH CONTINUES
Posted on 6 Jul 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
The Minnesota Vikings have certainly not had a boring offseason. For a team that most experts think will be mediocre at best, the Vikes have had their share of publicity during these off months of 2012. After tense stadium negotiations and what looks to be an excellent draft, the focus turned to OTA's and the team's minicamp during June. That's where we find Percy Harvin making news. The ...

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...

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....

MINNESOTA WILL BEAT OAKLAND ON SUNDAY
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...

ARE VIKINGS FANS HAPPY AFTER 2-6 START? MAYBE
Posted on 6 Nov 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
To be clear, not a single Minnesota fan is happy that the team is 2-6 and basically eliminated from the playoff conversation. However, if the Vikings had a better record at the halfway point, we might not be seeing Christian Ponder play during his rookie year. And so far, he has looked awfully good for a 1st year player. The bye week is normally a time when players rest up...
