Pretty much agree

Except Greg Lewis as an A ha

I was just gonna say that, he did have an unreal catch, but other than one play, hasn't done much at all.
I can't give a guy an A based on one play.

I can, based soley on the fact that Greg Lewis' catch will forever be engrained in my head.
That's enough reason for me.

Child please

And I guess Edinger is one of the best Kickers ever too then?

Lol ... you saw Best 4th Quarters this week too!

I dunno what it was, but yeah, I caught the end of something on the NFLN, I figured it was a classic replay, but it was the Comeback with the 56 yard field goal by Edinger.

Thanks for the read my friend....

AD has been hampered with a sore ankle the past three games and should be back to 100% after the bye.

I love it when players play hurt and still produce.

Although the run defense isn't as elite as previous seasons, it's still very good but has given up a bit too many big gainers. On the pass rush side and Jared Allen tying calves on a regular basis and Ray Edwards getting his fair share of sacks, the Vikings are a pass rushing force. Just ask Aaron Rodgers...

Not sure why he just focused on the starters.....The guys who have been coming in on a rotation basis play a big part in our success or failures on the front line.

The reason why he didn't earn an "A" is because I'd like to see him get the ball deeper on kickoffs.

Ahhhh the part of kicking that is almost always left off...... :-*

The run stopping has been decent as usual but I'd like to see improvement from the 'backers in pass coverage and getting more pressure on blitzes.

What a chucklehead.
I'd like to see our DL do thier job good enough so that our LB'rs don't have to blitz at all....
