Holy crap, we won. And we beat Camputer Newton (epic huge STUD.)

The Dolphins and Colts are too horrible. We won't get Luck. Plus Ponder might turn out to not totally suck balls anyways.

It's gotta now be #BlowingForBlackmon or #DealForKalil.

I watch the Vikings games with limited Football knowledge. But I have one question: is Frazier a good coach?

But he's surely no Tony Dungy or Mike Tomlin. We really screwed up bad letting those guys get away.

Funny thing is, I distinctly remember EVERYONE predicting that Tomlin would go on to be a great coach...a joke. Anyway, Frazier might be good, he'll need time and a real team, which may be developing, maybe not.

I was at the game in full Vikings gear with my sister, roommate, and his friend. We were blowing the Vikings horn, being completely obnoxious. It was hilarious to see how pissed Panthers fans were. Ponder looks to have potential. We'll see, but I hope he can keep getting better. It was good to see Harvin and AP used creatively for once. Jared Allen is still a beast. Anyone know who Kevin is so absent? He's seemingly mailed it in this year. I try to focus on him some plays and he's just playing well, nothing spectacular...

Musgrave has got to be creative in trying to get a man or two out of the box. More 4 wide out sets, something. I watch 9 men stack the box HARD every time they suspect an AP run. I do think they were less predictable this week, however.

Frazier appears to have a sort-of Denzel-like quality to him.

Unlike Jerry Kill and Brad Childress.

Unlike Tice and Chili, Frazier behaves like an actual head coach. That is enough to get him quite a bit more time.

Correct

My man, that is awesome that you guys went and repped the Vikes. Great work by you guys. Mad respect here.

K-Will... I dunno. He's one of the best in the game, but hasn't done much this year. Maybe he's getting two blockers every play or something? I dunno. I think that suspension and missing 4 game checks at the beginning of the year kinda screwed him. He was super pissed about missing those extra 2 game checks even though he played the games. There was a lot in the papers here about it at the time. Can't say I blame him.

Musgrave sucks. He hasn't shown me anything and I had no real faith in him from the get go. Oh well, hopefully he doesn't impede Frazier's progress.

Ha, yea, don't go cheering for the shitty Wolves or else you've got to be an idiot.

Dumbass - "Don't you know they suck?"
DFS - "Have you ever been sodomized by a fire extinguisher or Shaincoe's third limb? chill out with your bandwagonness or I'll end you, son."

Next, on to Musgrave. What's the MN consensus on him? I'll have to go over to DailyNorseman or Purple Jesus Diaries to get a feel. I'm not feeling him.

Next, on to the Panthers' fans. They are soft as Wes Johnson. I was talking shit and the only taker I had was a 7 year old girl who I went back and forth with. When the Panthers made awesome plays, it wasn't even that loud, either. I cheered for the Panthers as much as some people around me (I do like them, since I live in Queen City). They Wes J soft, let me tell you..

Musgrave is calling passes when the team should be passing. So he is by comparison a HUGE upgrade over the last regime (especially given the rookie QB factor). He is too conservative for me to rave about. Why oh why no flea flickers with AP to keep the DB's honest?

Because AP's garbage, in decline, and clearly ten times inferior to Jonathan Stewart.

In all seriousness, Jonathan Stewart is now my third favorite RB behind AP & Cap'n Stack Jack's namesake. I also illogically argue that Marion Barber & Maroney are top tier backs with anyone who listens simply because they saved me from a severe ass beating one time.

Also, I really hope the Vikes worry more about the O-line and the secondary this off-season than WR. I know many folks disagree, but Jenkins, Harvin, etc. are beginning to at least keep defenses a bit more honest. Hopefully they keep building synergy together to remain competent. Our secondary and O-line, on the other hand, are nowhere near competent. I'd rather just suicide blitz every play than pretend that we're covering any receivers for real.
