Re: Why does local press HATE Vikes
I live in Dallas and trust me, the press here can be brutal. I just heard this guy on the radio giving coach Bill Parcells an "F" for his 3 years here so far. He said, anyone could take Jerry Jone's...

Why I think MN can win it all
This might sound a bit crazy, but here are the reasons I think we can go all the way this year:
a. Turnovers. We are nr. 2 in the NFL in interceptions, and we are very high in overall turnovers.... -

Re: Roethlisberger's gimpy thumb
Yep. It is like the pre-injured hand Kurt Warner vs. the one who played after the hand injury: night and day. I don't think Roethlisberger's hand is that bad, but I think it does make it harder for...

Roethlisberger's gimpy thumb
Found this today, about Roethlisberger's bad thumb. He was making some really bad throws in the Bears game last Sunday too.

Re: This is how we stack up against the STEELERS
I think the more "open" this upcoming game gets, the better it is for us. If I was the Steelers, I would try to keep the ball down (against a secondary that is second in the NFL in interceptions),...

Re: CPep finally speaks on a variety of topics.
Some say C-pepper can't play again. But some said a 260-pound QB couldn't play in the NFL, and he showed them otherwise. I think Culpepper is a unique QB in this league and I am sure he will return....

Re: Steelers Fan in the House
I think if the Vikings score first and get a bit of a lead, it could be really tough for the Steelers. The way for the Steelers to win it is to control the clock and grind the ball out. The way for...

Re: Vikes discussion on Mike&Mike today (ESPN)

So far, the Steelers have looked solid, but they had to fight to beat the Bears at home, and trust me, our Vikings offense at home is about 10 times better than the Bears. And isn't Roethlisberger...

Operation Stop the Bus
To me, the upcoming game vs. the Steelers comes down to one thing: stopping the "Bus" (Bettis) on the line of scrimmage. If we can do that, we can make the Steelers one-dimensional, and I personally...

Re: Rams vs. Vikings predictions please......
I see the Vikes dominating this game. On offense, I think that Fitzpatrick or whatever their 3rd-string rookie QBs name is, is going to be rushed and flustered, not to mention not being able to hear...

Re: Efficient Johnson pacing Vikings' turnaround
There are several things I really like about Brad Johnson:

- Quick release. Unlike some QBs... -
