Is it me or does it feel like the team has shift from a run heavy team to pass heavy team

I know brett favre is playing well, and teh O line is having a tough time opening holes

but we have the best back in the game, we need to get him the ball more

and this is a VERY IMPORTANT ONE

teaching granderson how to hit lefties (somewhat decently)

when i play baseball you are taught to let the ball travel and hit the ball to the opposite field, that is what long has to preach to grandy.  Curtis may seem that short porch and try to power everything that way, but in order for him to hit effectively (.280-.290) he has to utilize the whole field.  Derek Jeter does this very well, as pitchers who try to throw him away he just hits it to right field

a Vikings win this week and a Packers loss against Baltimore wins us the division

vikes will be 11-1

packers 7-5  

vikes own tiebreaker so will be 5 up with 4 to play

ALso as everyone knows we are huge Patriot fans this week, as a win by them means we are only a tiebreaker from being ahead of New oRleans.  Then we pray we run the table and they slip up somewhere.

Kurt Coleman, Safety from Ohio State

Watching this game, this guy stood out to me

he made some good plays against the run

and also has two interceptions

the second one, he made a great play to jump infront of the reciever and came down with the ball

his hands seem to be great and his coverage seems good too

does anyone know winfield's status for sunday's game?

i know our backup corners have started to get the feel for things and have improved.   but we miss winfield alot

he shuts down his side of the field against both the pass and run.  Plus eh has great plays and actually catches interceptions.

Or do you think the Vikings will hold him out another to week to make sure is he is fully ready because they are facing a weaker team

BSPN is reporting that winfield could be out 4 to 6 weeks

last night and it was unbelievable

God even let us play nine innings without rain

and i've always like jhj, he handles the bat so well.  I was dumbfounded why giriadi didnt pinch hit him earlier for guzman (at bat where guzman swung at three stright pitches looking awful).  Also arod is so clutch.  After his homerun, in which Boboo Abreu almost made a play on at the wall no less, I kept counting the hitters until he got up again, so we could end the game.

The Vikings dominated all aspects of the game

highlighted by run defense and pass offense

two big plays stand out to me, one the goalline stand

and the saftey

also kluwe punted well for the first time in a long time, johnson had some nice punt returns, allen was a beast, favre played amazingly, and peterson although was shut down, had a td plunge

the only thing that bugs me, is our play in teh second half of the fourth quarter

we played conservatively on offense and when we needed to run it to run down the clock, we threw a 50 yard bomb

on defense we looked liek we didnt care if they scored and even blitzed, the end of the game should have never got to that point, we should have coasted

Otherwise we just outplayed and outmuscled the pack

and we are 4-0

GO VIKINGS!!!!!!!

i saw the 4th quarter form a local sports bar (live in NY only way can watch non-primetime games)

watched the yankees clinch the division 

and my high school team won our homecoming game against our heated rivals

So this was one hell of a weekend

And i must say although Lewis made a great catch and somehow kept two feet in an d possession

favre kept that play alive with his feet

he alluded would be sackers, while continously looking downfield, the chances of Rosenfels or Jackson doing htat would have been 0

hopefully he can keep this up, and to do that we need to keep Brett on his feet more often

and lastly, i know gore wasnt in the game

but we shut down the san fran running game, as they onyl average like 2.2 ypc

GO VIKES and GB better watch out
