Have any of you Twin City locals heard any updates on Winfield? I had heard that he reaggrivated a fractured hand. Will he have any chance of playing next week? There was a HUGE dropoff with him out of the lineup.

Vikings CB Antoine Winfield could miss Packers game - CBSSports.com
And by Packers game they mean the next Packers game. This article was posted online about 20 minutes ago. Also Harrison Smith is listed as "Questionable," due to a shoulder stinger he suffered late in the game, at his ESPN player page here:

If both of these guys are out next week I'm going to be worried.
As you should, the Vikings defense held the Packers pretty much in check until they went out; then it was an air show.Quote:

We need the secondary that started the game last week to be healthy or we need mother nature to knock the shit out of us with a snowstorm. Turn the game into a run game and we win.
Wow, wouldnt that be a blessing! Thanks for the updates guys!Quote:

Bad weather favors the passing game more than the run. Receivers know were they are going; defenders do not. Bad wind on the other hand ....Quote:
