[size=13pt]Vikings look to finish disappointing season with win[/size]

Associated Press

Jackson against our run D is an interesting matchup.
Unfortunately I see them attacking our pass defense with Bulger instead.
And now that we have nothing left to play for, I really expect our offense to open up, but I don't know if we can keep pace with St Louis.
A key turnover late in the game decides a 41-38 shootout.

St. Louis will only try to run the ball a few times until they realize that they can't run against our run defense.. What got every other team a win against us is passing the ball.. Marc Bulger is very much capable of passing the ball, so I don't see why we won't get a steady dose of his arm..

The only way Steven Jackson will be a factor is if he is on the recieving end of those passes, which is a very good possibility.. The players can say all they want about being motivated, and wanting to give the fans something to look forward to for 2007. They should of thought about that before the lost to a bunch of mediocre teams that costed them a shot at the playoffs..

If the Vikings offense can manage to put 38 points up on the board, I'll be content with a loss seeing as how there is no playoff shot anyways.
After watching last week's performance, I can't see that happening.


St. Louis 27
Vikes 13

I would LOVE to see the offense just taking shots all game long...what do we have to lose?

Q: There was no strife or personality conflict with you and Marcus Robinson, it's solely to get a veteran out and bring some new guys in?
A: Yeah, I mean I spent as much time talking to Marcus Robinson as any member of our football team, and maybe twice as much time talking to Marcus...

this quote amuses me because according to some players they (childress and the players) never talk.

Well, when you average 2 minutes per player, doubling your time to 4 minutes with Marcus means nothing, jack.
