We won without bryant mckinnie and Madieu williams.I like to see what would happen when those two come back ;D

Who does Madieu replace? Sharper or Tyrell? Hopefully Sharper, logically Tyrell.

I am very happy that my main complaint today is the special teams. Gus is average, but he's better than T-Jack has been in terms of field awareness. Great D-Line. Running game solid. Even Shanks managed to please me.

But those special teams!!! Arghhh!!!

I am just happy that we got a win.

Also, Allen looked pretty good. He plays D like the cowboys. Only shows up when it counts, and boy did he ever show up

Love what I saw out of Gus.

Defensively, I expect this every game.

You can give props to Allen and I do too. But this Wyms is the best penetrating Tackle the Vikings have had in awhile. Props to Wyms.
Oh and what a pro bowl performance by EJ!

End playing Tackle. Ala Darrion Scott or Justin Tuck.

I live in Virginia and wasn't able to watch the game. I followed it on NFL.com gamecenter, and then watched the highlights on the postgame afterwards. I didn't see the interception, could someone fill me in on what happened? And also, someone give me a logical answer as to why we ran on first down, and then decided to kneel the last 3 downs and give the Panthers the ball (with big play specialist Steve Smith) with a minute left? That made no sense to me, why not run it in with CT and seal the deal? You could take off just as much time on the clock.
